Places To Shop?

Heres a quick question for you this evening.

We all like to try out new ways to follow our gratest hobby but some times we struggle to get hold of the models and rules sets that we want to try.

How do you my faithful readers get hold of products that you cant buy at the local hobby store? where do you shop? is it online? would you prefer to be able to walk into a local store and buy what you want?

 The floor is yours how do you shop and what would be your ideal.

Deepthought - what about all those bits?

I don't know about you but the picture above really rings bells for me. I have piles and piles like this in my house, and garage, and shed. Some are stored in boxes, some are still in their boxes and in turn they are in grouped boxes, some are clipped fromtheir fames and put carefully in a bits draw (I would like to point out that they were put there a long time ago when I had more free time) and most are just piled up and left to gather dust.

Now I know that you are thinking "Yeh so! we all have these piles of random model parts just in case we need them" The question I would like to ask is how much of the money you spend on your hobby is still sitting around on sprues gathering dust and not being used for anything constructive?

This for me riases more questions than answers and I would like to pass this out to the wonderful readers of this blog to discuss. Do you have any answer for the paradox that is piles and piles of sprues lying around. Do you know of anywhere you can get rid of them or swap needed parts with others. How do you deal with large sections of your money lying around doing nowt?

Over to you.

Thanks

Deepthought - Choices Choices

I have recently been looking at a site called Tabeltop Fix quite closely. I am fascinated by the broad choice of producs for our hobby that are out there and it seems to me that we focus on a very small proportion of them most of the time.

We all have our favorites that we play all the time but what sort of game would you try if you had the chance? would it be a roleplaying game for the first time, a historical game or even CCG's?

go on tell us what would you play if you had the chance post a comment about your next direction in the hobby.

thanks

I love Wargaming!

A bit of discussion for you tonight. We all chose to take part in this hobby for a reason. I suspect it wasn't to be spat on in the street or stripped of any cash, spare or otherwise every time you walked into a Games store. So why did we choose to become Wargames "Geeks" 

The floor is yours. Tell us why did you become a Wargamer...
