I have yet to make a purchase, but thought about ordering both a painted and unpainted copy of the MS and BB, as well as a Jungle Set or two. The savings from a place like MiniatureMarket for the unpainted and jungle terrain is nearly enough to buy another unpainted MS. Maybe I'm just unaware, but I don't see how it is beneficial to Renegade to have a large portion of their sales go through a third party (which must take a cut), rather than drop their own listed prices to the same value and get more sales flow at that price point through their own platform (no 3rd party cut). Just brand awareness, and they have to tolerate a price cut so their products end up on more platforms?

MSRP kinda doesn't mean anything if the manufacturer undercuts the retail price on day one.

In all seriousness, you generally don't want to compete with game stores when you're trying to develop an in-store organized play platform. It's one thing for an LGS to have to compete with other LGS. It's another for the LGS to feel like they're competing with the manufacturer who is trying to sell them product.
