I am considering buying Dwarven Forge, but it is rather expensive.... Can someone point me in a direction where I can buy it for a decent price? As it stands now I could easily spend $450... ouch!
Watch for a WotC store to go out of business (are there any left?)
I saved over 70% on the 7 sets I bought when the Ft. Worth, Texas store closed. I got nearly $800 worth for just over $350, tax included (granted that was a couple of years ago).
I bought my sets direct from Dwarven Forge, no discounts but with large orders Stefan in my experience generaly throws in some bonus sets.
If it is that intriguing for you I would say just bite the bullet and go for it. If you need a justification buy a Siberian Dwarf Hamster and let him run through it, mine loves it Though the hamster wasnt very cooperative as a Dire Bear in one game, keep going his own way.
gainingminiatures.com sells them at a discount, I think 20% off. Though I do hear (as also said above) if you place large orgers through DF, they'll throw in stuff for free, so you might want to look at going that route.
