Reply To: Culling The Pile…

Last time I “culled” the pile of shame (it was mostly GW stuff and some KSed “Board Game with minis” that were never going to get done), I asked down at my FLGS if they had any kids that drop down to the store that never had any minis because things were tight on the finances at home. They can then get in touch with the Parents to see if they would be interested in receiving anything from a “Christmas List” of donations for their Kids to give as their Xmas present. I think we had three parcels given out (and the FLGS even donated some brushes and paints to go with them) the time I last did it. Granted it’s probably not EXACTLY what the kids want (which is usually stuff that’s been released in the last six months from GW), and sometimes the board games have to be picked with care to appeal to the younger kids (sometimes the younger siblings of the kids that drop in at the FLGS). But for Parents that are really struggling at Xmas, it’s at least “something” that can be done. Find the right FLGS with a “good” owner, and thing kind of thing can be done (and for Boardgames with minis, if they are “fantasy” related you can shove in a set of the KoW rules for them to get in with some “Warhammer-esq” tabletop fun).
