Bushido, Battles & Backorders

This week Tam takes us through the latest Bushido releases (one of his favourite games), Battles taking place in store last week and coming up soon, and what even are Backorders?


Bushido

Tam was hyped to chat about the long awaited Bushido books coming out, and the pre-order that went on their website for a limited time over the weekend.


In Store Events

We’ve had some great events in store over recent weeks, where we’ve put a load of time and effort into creating the best atmosphere for organised play.

For something a bit more casual and regular, our game nights happen every week and are a great way to get in a load of games of your favourite tabletop wargame and TCG with new opponents.

Tuesdays: Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game
Wednesdays: Speedhammer, Kill Team, X-Wing
Thursdays: Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, AoS Spearhead
Fridays: Horus Heresy

We’re also looking to include Marvel Crisis Protocol, Warcrow, and Infinity to the roster in the coming weeks. Want to get out your card game decks, then check out our TCG timetable below.

Alternatively, chat to the team in store about booking our free gaming tables to come down and play whenever you want.

We’ve also got great events being added to the website each week so grab a ticket to upcoming events and sharpen your competitive skills in a friendly atmosphere.


What Are Backorders?

Lastly this week we want to talk about Backorders on our website. What are they, why are they handy, and what to expect when you place one.

We stock thousands of items from the most popular ranges in the industry. Because of the massive number of products available these days, stock limitations from manufacturers, as well as popular products being snapped up as soon as they hit our shelves, it’s sometimes difficult to keep everything you could all possibly want in stock constantly.

The solution for this is backorders. Rather than cross your fingers that what you want will come back in stock and you’ll be the one to pick it up, you can order it. If its labelled on our website as “can be backorder” it means we don’t have one in stock currently, but you can place an order and we’ll get it in specifically for you.

Orders like this typically take between 4 and 14 days, and we’ll keep you updated on its progress via email, letting you know when you can pick it up from the store, or we’ll post it out to you directly as soon as we get it in. You can find more info on Backorders in the FAQs on our website or speak to our team about placing an order for the things you want.
