You'll laugh, but my brother asked me exactly the same thing, why I hadn't looked through the GW stores.
Yes, some of the stores I chose were the first best that the search engine showed me and 2 of them (Germany and South Africa) were recommendations from zak and me that I use myself
I remember the new rules GW introduced for stores and I seem to remember that the best known one in the USA closed down because of it (which I think now has probably the biggest army in the world and is now playing a week long battle..I'll find out).
I think it's a good idea to shine a light on the GW stores and add Australia.
WTF
i was excited to see the price different. For example the Leo miniatures cost in Germany ca. 57 EUR ..in Australian 81 EUR that is a HUGE difference. In japan cost 62 EUR . In USA 64 Eur
