Buying from your LGS

>>51749381
I do.
They do 10-20% off so a lot of the time it is cheaper.

I play mostly boardgames and my store is still usually at least $5 cheaper compared to amazon prices (kemet around $90~ including shipping, store sells if for $80~). I can just walk there and pick stuff up so I don't have to deal with shitty postage services either.
On top of that a store inspects their inventory before they sell it. So I'm guaranteed to get a 100% mint product instead of calling in for damaged boxes etc.

I do, From time to time Ill "forget" to bring my dice and buy another set. (aside from the one time I actually did). They only have what I suspect are the remains of a Chessex sampler. Im looking for specific shades and colours in both opaque and translucent.

On an unrelated subject- What is up with Chessex's site? My FLGS does not have what im looking for but their site is 5 years out of date. Im open to the idea of other brands.

I occasionally buy things that will certainly be more expensive than what they are online just to support them like a full sized board game or larger model kit. Otherwise I buy basic things like individual bottles of paint as I am not going to save any cash buying those online.

I buy something every time I go.

Never a large purchase though cause I save like $30-40 just using Amazon for that stuff, just usually like $10-$20 for a mini or whatever.

I think that's fair given how much space a take up for 2-3 hours.

To all the MTG players out there, god bless you, you keep this industry alive

I don't see what they see in it, but I agree.

Anyone who complains about them needs to really understand the amount of money these people put into cardboard.

I buy the majority of my warham stuff online, but I make a point to buy the occasional shit from my LGS or from a physical GW store.

And before anyone gives me shit about GW, I like knowing that there is a place I can go to that is specifically catered to that game and nothing else and it's something I'm willing to pay a premium for to support.

Also whenever I go to play at GW or an LGS I make sure to buy SOMETHING even if it's just a two dollar drink or a pot of paint because I am using their space after all.

The closest thing to a "Local Game Store" is about 100 miles away. I go there for MtG pre-releases and when I am there I do purchase some singles along with some stuff like sleeves and deck boxes but it's just not feasible for me to buy everything there.

I try to buy at my LGS but if they don't have what I want or when the difference in price is insane (Why buy the PHB for fifty euros there when bookdepository has it for half) I'll just order online.

Why buy into a hobby that you have to travel 200 miles just to get a game in?

There are plenty of people around me who play MtG, and I typically get atleast one good game night in a week. We typically do drafts about every other game night so we do have new cards flowing in. But there is just no game shop that is closer.

Thanks to living in the 21st century, I don't "have to" drive 200 miles to buy anything. I can buy al my gaming equipment right here. In bed. Naked. Next to my sleeping wife. Who is also naked. While i am typing this post.

Generally.
They're usually a tad more expensive, but they run events I go to, so I'm happy to pay the pittance.

Also I live in Australia, so I can't exactly but RPG shit online cheaply in the first place.

I said nothing about buying anything, I said playing the game.

LGS's have communities.

I've been gaming since 1978. I've played one or two nights a week for most of my life (more when I was younger). I have yet to play a single session in an LGS.

Used to. My current city's LGS has ridiculous prices and is primarily a boardgame store.

I also never game there.

I typically but off Amazon these days

Probably go every two weeks, probably buy something once a month. It turns out they have an excellent costumer rewards program, so I did all of Xmas shopping there and basically got a book I've been wanting for free. They are really good with trade ins too.

Well I help manage one so yeah ill buy from my LGS, lol.
