Hey there all! Rich here with a end of the week update.
First things first – if you have not seen the announcement – Rett’s retirement party has been postponed. Real life has interfered and we shall be rescheduling.
Secondly – we’ve go a whole buncha stuff. Yes, a buncha. Which is to say more than some, less than a ton and hard to quantify beyond ‘bunch’.
So there are holiday figures from Reaper, new Chibi reaper figures, a bunch of new boardgames, new wargames (whoops) Historical Simulation Games from Vuca Simulations, Star Wars books from Edge Studios that have returned, Arkham Horror Dreamlands supplement, Stranger Things miniatures and well, a whole lot more. …like the Mr. Potatohead Beholder.
So stop on in and take a look. Tonight, tomorrow, next week when it’s warmer…
