Best Way To Buy In UK?

By Vegeta365, in Star Wars: Armada

Hi all,

New to join in with the love of the game but looks like I have got here just in time!

I have noticed a lot of people from USA seem to have got one of everything and 2 of the fighters for circa $220. My LGS is doing 20% off pre orders and this is still circa £220 for the same items.

This isn't new for UK vs USA in costs but I can't help but feel like I would be over paying. Do I just suck it up and pay it or does anyone who has been looking for months have s Berger way for UK players to buy at a cheaper price?

Thanks for any advice.

The cheapest place I know of in the UK is GamesLore, that's where I'm buying mine from. You can get a core and one of each expansion for ~£188.

With the amount you're ordering you'll qualify for the free postage which brings an order for 1 of everything to £187.52

I agree, the dollar/pound difference does make it smart a bit, but it's the best deal I've found.

Hope that helps!

QS =D

Edit: If you add an extra 2 fighters it comes to £212.12 - again, close to the £220 you mentioned but I'm personally waiting till I get the first lot before investing in extra fighters!

$ to £ ratio is always a problem with any game, they generally work out at 1:1, best bet is to do a search for sellers and see who is giving the best price at the time due to promotions. I got the box set for £46 this way, a big saving on £80 RRP. Chaos cards has it for £66 ATM http://www.chaoscards.co.uk/miniature-games-c487/star-wars-armada-c726/fantasy-flight-games-star-wars-armada-p109310/s110488?gclid=Cj0KEQiAiamlBRCgj83PiYm6--gBEiQArnojDxYVD3VwQmLQWEybL0J_RSYfv86JfxvF6m2EE0kZN84aAtJZ8P8HAQ

Use the code FABFEB, and you get an extra £3 off, bringing the price down to £63 ;)

(The code is for orders over £30, so you could potentially claim it several times depending on how you split your orders on the expansions...)

Ehh...the store is stating that the core game is "in stock"??

"Can be shipped within 60 days".

Creative accounting?! ;)

Fair play to Gameslore. I find they can be hit or miss with prices some times. But they do have a good customer service and are quick on the delivery.

I got mine for 200 from my local store after haggling him down on the price from 216 to a straight 200 if I bought 1 of every thing. Although it seem I could have gotten cheaper from games lore I probably would have still got it from them simply to help support my local store. Try haggling with your store owner maybe? The original 216 my store owner was offering was with 15% off.
