I came into my local GW today, and I left even happier when I saw that it is now stocking ALL the teams (save orcs and ogres.) In metal starter sets and has a whole section of blisters AND cheerleader and ref models. Bless those mighty men. Does your GW/local stock BB gear? Why or why not? There has been a recent surge of BB at my store so thats the reason they started ordering.

If you live in Vancouver, you must be talking about the GW store in the Metrotown Mall (I think that's what it's called, anyway the one in Burnaby), at least that's where it was when I lived there. Before it moved to the mall it was in a really scuzzy location in Gastown (had to dodge the junkies to get to the store). I suppose there may be more than one GW store in Van these days. Anyway, it brings back memories, 3ed BB (first release) came out at the time I was there.

Indeed it's in metrotown and the gastown one is long since closed down, but BC also has stores in West-Van, Richmond, And victoria.

When i ask about bloodbowl in my local GW they just look at me blankly and point to a tattered copy of blood bowl mag 3 that i am fairly sure they use to wipe the windows with.
None of them have heard anything about bloodbowl's return to the shelves in Oz.
Looks like i'll just have to wait a little longer

Our store has some stuff, and can get more if you want it, but doesn't carry the complete line like it sounds like yours does. We have about 4 bb box sets, about 4 or 5 team boxes, and 5 or 6 blisters, mostly big guy models.

My store sucks as far as BB goes. I think there are a couple of comic shops near the college that may carry GW, but I'm too lazy to venture that far. Besides, those wacky East Lansing kids like to set stuff on fire.

Hmm...interesting. I was totally surprised that fanatic still had the box sets. Apparently the box sets won't be at our store for too too long, but the blisters are here to stay.

One of my local stores carries the mags and sells out very quickly. They usually get 20 copies and sell them withen the week.

When I talked to the manager about carrying figs he told me they wouldn't sell.

I agrued for awhile but he wouldn't listen to reason.

The other store near me just asks you to order figs through them.

Yeah for quite awhile I was mail ordering my entie skaven team through GW mail order at the store. You would need to wait about 2 weeks until your new recruits would get there, keep heckling.
