Overread Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I've been made aware through their Facebook that Element Games was broken into the other day and robbed. Details of what was taken and the damage done is not yet clear, but its a sad and rare event that a wargaming store gets broken into like this. Details as they come are on their facebook website https://www.facebook.com/pg/ElementGames/posts/?ref=page_internal Note that they are open once again after a short time being closed. Element games is a UK based gaming store that supplies a huge range of wargaming related material - from games to brushes, paints and more. TGA forums even has an affiliation with them through this link https://elementgames.co.uk/warhammer?d=10151 So if you want to get some gaming material, show your support during some stressful and tough times for the store and also help out the TGA site cover its costs, please do consider using the affiliate link. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirjava13 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 If only their website didn't look like it was designed in the mid-90s! I'll order something and then hopefully once they've recovered from the break in the poor chaps can hire a web designer 😅 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walrustaco Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Element Games are my go-to. They ship fast and they sometimes put sweets in the packages that my wife loves to eat. It kind of softens the annoyance at me having bought more Ogres. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I guess the 15-25% discount the advertisement on this site says only apply to specific models? The few things I wanted were original GW price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few things I wanted were original GW price. Thats not my experience at all. I buy most of my stuff here for over a year now, and everything, without exception, is considerably cheaper than with GW. Just need to make a bigger order to make up for the shipping cost (with GW you can pick it up for free at the GW shop) mY overall experience with them is good. Shame they are robbed.

Overread Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 GW has two sets of models that they now supply to stores. One set go through normal channels and 3rd parties can discount them into the standard 15-25% bracket. The second set are those that used to be "direct order only"; which 3rd party retailers can order, but not with the same wholesale price. The result is that they can typically not discount them or only discount them very slightly, so the price is little different than if you bought them from GW directly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to dig into Seraphon and buy a couple of the bigger dinos, but the majority of Seraphon stuff is original GW price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Must admit that I never bougth those...but quick check I find currently three big dino kits at Elements, all cheaper than GW: Stegadon (43,13 Euro vs 50 Euro at GW), Sauros cold one on Carnosaur (57.50 Euro vs 65 Euro at GW) and one not available: Bastiladon (40.45 Euro vs 46 at GW)..I realize this is just a snapshot in time of course. Wonder if and how this can be different for you. Would it matter which country you are in? Edit...ah now I see. in GBP it is the same price!...wtf. Looks like you are completely right. Models discounted have a strikethrough on the original price. The big dino's don't have that indeed/ But apparently for Eurpean Mainland (or at least the Netherlands) it still makes a difference Edited January 26, 2020 by Lowki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared both in GBP which said same price. If I set it to EUR and convert to DKK theres a discount of approx 15% Edited January 26, 2020 by Kasper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
