I use the local comic shop up here Nova Comics.... They generally have to order stuff in and it can take a while, but the price is comparable. Plus it keeps the business local so I don't mind paying a little extra.

365 Games are doing some decent prices.
With the US postage rates skyrocketing, the UK is becoming a really good deal.
GBP33 + 3 postage:
http://www.365games.co.uk/strategy-board-games/quadropolis
= ~$65
$75-$90 elsewhere.
$5-$10 difference doesn't phase me for an individual game. But $25 you can't ignore.

Anyone have an idea where a good place to pre-order the next run of Scythe would be (due later this year)? Is the 'new' Milsims delivering on pre-orders?
I put in an order last week for something listed as a back order. Happened to drop in to the shop on the same day and mentioned I put an order in. The guy there was good enough to tell me that anything listed as a back order may not be possible to get. Related to how the previous owners left their database. So probably worth following up with them if you place a back order in the future; or maybe just contact them before submitting the order.
Some good information! Appreciate it.

I get the feeling they know it isn't in their interest to dig out these faux back orders from their database. They have had months and months to run a few simple SQL queries. Avoid.

I emailed Milsims re the back order item and they got back to me pretty quickly (it's still available via their US distributor ... yay!). They commented about products showing as Back Order on the website:

Was looking for Dead of Winter and bit the bullet and ordered it for $84 online last night.
Today I see
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dead-of-Winter-/291765554652
With the C20TEC code it comes to $71.19 delivered. Not too shabby.

Codenames deep undercover for $15!
Still quoting that price on their site.
I hadn't heard of it before and the site doesn't say what's different to the original version. A Google search came back with this:

It's basically codenames but the adults only version. Lots of fun after a few drinks.
