[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5130353, member: 463"] Thanks for your informed insights, Charles. :) As far as London games shops go - Orc's Nest and (to a slightly lesser extent) Forbidden Planet are on my regular monthly route from work to osteopath - I have to go right past Orc's Nest anyway, so if I have time I like to go in and browse, buy anything that looks interesting if it's not too expensive. Playin' Games at the British Museum tends to only have old RPG stock, not discounted, but I look in every year or so and typically buy some old product at full price for a game I don't even play - eg I got Terran Empire for Star Hero there. Leisure Games up in Finchley is the Place of Pilgrimage - it's nearly a 4 hour round trip from my home in south London, but I go there yearly when my friend Craig/Upper_Krust is in town, and we spend a load of money (maybe £120-£150 between us). LG also has the advantage of friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere, so it's a real treat. LG also have a great mail order service, fast & cheap p&p; but now that amazon do free delivery I've tended to buy the majority of mail order stuff from them even though it's slower. The exception is miniatures - I pretty much only buy DDM singles, which means mail order from a few specialist online retailers like Tritex Games. [/QUOTE]
