I believe shipping's worse than usual - so kinda fake deep discounts. I tried to order about $100 of stuff (Halls of Terra, Claustrophobia expansion, Black Fleet, Hyperborea, Diskwars), with a shipping estimated at 35 to Canada - not too bad. ACTUAL shipping turns out to be $65 - no thanks! The minimum shipping to Canada seems to be $24, and despite the site taking some time to calculate shipping options, the only one ever offered is USPS priority international.

I'd probably save some in the end, but not that much, and if Customs decide to intercept and charge me, the taxes and fees would definitely kill any savings.

Still waiting for $1 Tannhauser figures. C'mon, FFG. You know you want to. We can stare at each other like this for another decade, or you can just blink already.

I'm getting the different shipping options to Canada when I test check out, but none of them is that appealing. UPS charges on this end would probably kill the savings over picking USPS. Urge to spend money on stupid toys (Battlelore 2nd edition complete set, De Profundis, Black Fleet) is dropping steadily.

Portioning out the shipping per item (USPS) and converting to CAD, prices for the Battlelore stuff are about 66% of the online CAD price at a place like Meeplemart. (where shipping would be free) Hmmm,...

For those local the sale at the FFG store is identical to the website. Picked up an extra Warhammer Diskwars + both expansions and Black Fleet.

That's good, just like every year then.

Ugh. I can't make it out to FFG anytime soon since my hours are heinous.. I guess I should contact some locals and see if they'd be willing to grab a copy of black.fleet for me.

Got all 4 battlelore expansions, the three battlelore reinforcement packs, 2 disk war cores, and both disk wars expansions. The $14 shipping was acceptable.

I can't by what I want in good conscience right now, but if Secret Satan wants to make DISCWARS or RELIC as the cool chunk of my pile: NO COMPLAINTS.

Knizia's Kingdoms and Lewis & Clark, plus some misc dice bags for $44 shipped seemed a reasonable enough deal. Wish I had noticed earlier as some of that Dust Tactics premium stuff that's now gone looked like it could have been readily repurposed for Incursion and saved me the trouble of painting...

Apparently Meeplemart's FB says that they're trying to deal with FFG to offer their sale in Canada or something.

We have received confirmation that Meeplemart will be taking part in the FFG/ Asmodee Holiday Sale. More info will be provided when available.

I had Relic and both expansions in my cart and stopped myself.

I still don't need any new games, the price almost got to me though. Luckily I found the strength to stop. Doc... if you really want them I can order them for you and you can pay me back. If you don't like them... I'm sure I could take them back from you for the same price at a later date. PM me here or FB if you're into it.

That $10 Kingdoms game is again the best 'value-per-dollar' title in these sales...though with shipping I may consider looking at eBay where you might be able to get it for $15-20 shipped.

That game gets nastier the more you play it. It got to the point that we had to move it from our house because it got too vicious. Fantastic title that makes basic multiplication a real kick in the pants experience. Play with the thick-skinned.

EDIT: You're a good man, Jacob.

Thanks JJ, but looks like it's sold out now. Which is good, not sure it would see any play with my group. I still have 2nd ed Talisman that hasn't been played in at least ten years.
