In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only litigation

I think you'll find Corporate Assclowns are a lesser known space marine chapter also covered by a GW trademark.

I wish I could personally boycott GW stores in response to this...........but I already boycotted them in response to what I considered were excessive prices and ridiculous aggressive strategies.

What's next - a trademark on the word "orc?"

Same for me here in Holland. So that's already two of us. Not much at all i hear you think. But what would if more people joined? Are there othe people here on LAF that do not buy at GW? I'm curious? Are you curious?

I have not bought a GW figure direct from them for at least ten years.

In fact the only GW product I buy nowadays is the HH books from Black Library.
It is still GW, I know, but as I usually buy them through Amazon I am not pay any kind of ridiculous GW mark up.

I like their paints but haven't bought a figure from them for about the same time as Mason. I did buy some plastic stealers for my aliens project on ebay though. It's unsurprising GW are acting like this as it seems to be the way of the business world. I would like to think it is not the way of our collective hobby though.

I've send GW an e-mail on this, for all the good it does.
I know I'm only one voice, but hopefully others will chime in.
This is just despicable behavior.

On ork probably.

by some strange coincidence (and the vain hope that someone here can try and explain it Dezmond), the 2013 Frothers Sculpting Competition has been announced:

That story on frothers is wrong on so many levels. My poor mind....

On a serious note, it's good that they seem to have climbed down over the whole thing.

[Bugsda]

I very rarely look at Frothers but that might change, this thread deserves a comedy award, Dezmond is better than Karl Pilkington 

D'you think GW have done a Gerald Ratner?

[Mainly28s]

Well, I haven't bought any GW stuff (apart from the WHH books) in about 10 years because of some of the ridiculous stunts they pulled.
