Wayland appear to be working again now but the 30% off Knight Models Batman range has been replaced by 30% off a single model (Superman) which is disappointing. The rest are back to the usual 10% discount.

Check back tomorrow, we had to remove some of the categories as we were wary of overselling whilst we were having site issues and stock levels might not have been updating correctly.

Thanks. I saw them back up again last night so now £145 worse off

Looks like another disappointment for me this year.

Though if you want PP stuff, you're likely to enjoy the sale.

I was wandering if element games does black friday deals.

They did last year but I believe it was just a 5% store credit added to your account on all purchase this day, entry into raffle to win a voucher and some model taster deals for the game Infamy.

**Modock**

OK, thanks!

**BigDaddio**

Anyone heard if CMON will have a sale this year? I believe they usually do, but I haven't seen anything about it and for some reason I just can't seem to remember when it started last year nor how expansive it was.

**Fenriswulf**

If you use the code BLAEC-FRIDAY-2017 on the Mierce website, you will receive 30% off. Sale ends Nov. 24th.

Works on everything except -
not on the Darklands: First Edition Rule Book
not on any Components
not on any Kickstarter items

Thanks! I was just looking for that yesterday

Since I'm in the market for a foam mat I've been trawling for sales. Haven't found much, but Front Line Gaming is doing 25% off theirs: https://store.frontlinegaming.org/gaming-mats/

I might. I actually like some of PP's terrible plastic. At least, when I can get it for a boggling discount.

I wish they just detailed the deals. I work friday and don't have time to keep checking every hour.

**BobtheInquisitor**

And I may have to see what Mantic is up to..

I like PP stuff. Still a disappointing sale. :(

I missed all those $1 MMPB novels?? Why wasn't I told?

But, yeah, might as well be Grey Friday.

Me too. However, free shipping might just do it for me since some of their minis never make it to retail any more anyway.

Yeah, its more of a closet-cleaning than a Black Friday sort of thing. I did pick up a couple items, but overall, it's not impressive at all - all old stock items, it seems.

**BobtheInquisitor**

The half-priced Bones may tip me over if they have all the ones I want.

A lot of the PP stuff is still too expensive, even at close to 50% off. How do people get into this game?

Depends on what you're talking about. A lot of the things on the mini market sale are the old metal boxes that have been replaced by cheaper plastics.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Privateer has the older MK. II starter sets for 10 dollars each on their own website.

50 or more gets you free shipping in the US.

Rules are all free online now too, and some of the starters aren't that much worse than the new MK.III ones.

The question is do I really need to pick up a bunch of Warmahorde starters when I've got extensive Trollblood and Khador armies?

**NewTruthNeomaxim**

I'll definitely be giving Mantic some money, as I want that Lee/Clementine Walking Dead booster, very much, and I also legit need a box of Mantic Zombies which I can't find anywhere else anymore, for a 2018 Kings of War project.

Huh. Are all the old starters plastic? Are you interested in splitting any?

They're their "plastic", so PVC ish.
I wouldn't mind a Convergence of Cyriss one, but that won't do with the shipping

In honor of the sad sales that it seems all the miniatures gaming retailers have announced or already offered this year, I bought a 50" 4k Amazon Fire TV for $299 on sale from $549 instead

Thanks for all the info everyone thus far.

MM sale. per usual black Friday sale is trash. They usually do a good spring sale, but their blackfriday is a bunch of old junk. Even the batman stuff isn't as good as they are moving over to resin and better sculpting.

Don't. Convergence PVC stuff is almost universally trash.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Correction: priced-to-move trash.

**Theophony**

There were less than a dozen items I could have wanted from the MM sale, but I figured the discount just wasn’t there. I held off for a few hours and still have all my cash. The items are for the most part the same as the last 4-5 years. I’ll gointo their store tomorrow and see if they put anything out that’s a real bargain, but looking like my money might actually go to my kids Christmas presents this year
