It was bad enough that they left out the 3 newest sanctioned teams from the new book, but now the local GW store is starting a league and they are allowing khemri teams that aren't even sactioned yet. Oh, and they have every team in stock including the khemri but not so much as a blister of lizard men. What a crock. I hate them so.

Well thats because the Lizard Team is broken anyone can win with Lizardmen :D They forgot to put them in the new Blood Bowl Handbook :pissed: You could actually believe they ran out of pages excuse :wink: Anyway I hate Lizardmen I can't win against them :cry:

All jokes aside notify GW store and see whats up. Its obvious that Lizardmen are sanctioned. Khermi now that team is broken :D I better just quit it before someone slaps me for saying this over and over

Once you add on the price for shipping and handling when buying over the internet it usally comes out close to the same price to buy it somewhere local. Have some local store order it

I know its probably hard to believe that someone has never bought somthing on ebay but I have not. So have you gotten any deals on e bay?? I here its really all about the last 5 mins of the Bid. There is a website out there that allows you to place a bid for you at exactly the last 5 seconds of the bid for you so don't have to be there and can throw in the last bid and win!

Ebay is about persistance, keep trying different listings of the same item. Set a reasonable max bid, eventually u will hit on a listing other people forgot to bid for on the last day.

Gotta agree. I've found some great deals due to misspellings. Always search the sellers other items if he's offering even one piece you like. He might have mis identified something and you'll save money if you only pay shipping once.

Another piece of advice is to be patient. There are very few pieces that don't come up regularly. I've seen some pieces close at $45 one week and go at the $5.00 opening bid the next. Unless you have money to burn, I'd say you probably don't NEED the piece this week and wait till the collectors have theirs. It really does tend to be cyclical.
