Stopped in at two local stores today.
The first ... no longer selling GW. The guy behind the counter said that GW wanted to make them purchase more than what they were selling. Theer were plenty of folks in their game room playing card games and board games, but no one doing ministures of any kind. The shelves had cards, comics, Star Wars stuff, a smattering of board games, collecting paraphanelia, and collectibel memorablia associated with various other products being sold.
The second ... still selling GW, he's the only one in his area well north of where I am living. A few folks playing cards and board games, no miniatures this afternoon, but I've walked in there before and there have been multiple miniature games being played. I decent selection of GW stuff which some was Warhammer, but mostly 40K, both including older OOP stuff that he leaves on the shelf until it is sold. 5 WAoS starter boxes, some Wramahordes products, full line of GW paints, and a solid selection of comics. What was really weird was a box of 3 Skaven that looked like they were trying out for 40K or something.
I was looking for the Empire Militia, Pistoliers, Huntsmen, and Greatswords. Only had the latter, but got me a box before they go OOP. Almost picked up Boris on a Bear, and some of the Empire fences. There was even an old modular hill that I still might pick up at some point. I want to make it into a more middle eastern or southern mediterranean style than the old fashion green flocking with steep gray sides.
