Whoa! This is totally weird! I just went into Hobby Masters on Saturday (the 10th) and picked up all of Wave 6 from them. Yes, they were all $16.99, but I couldn't resist the urge. I saw them for the first time ever, and I couldn't put them back...

So, there isn't any Wave 6 there right now, but I had a decent talk with the guy there, and told him to order more Wave 6. I told him that this was the only place that I'd been able to find it in all of the triangle area. He said that they didn't really sell much HS at all, because they weren't known to have it. They had a TON of WarHamer and WarHammer 40K, as well as a good selection on several other miniatures games.

Being a hobby store, much of the things seemed overpriced. Paying $16.99 for something I can normally find for $10 didn't make me particularly happy, but then I couldn't stand to wait any longer. They also had a TT for $35ish.

They had tons of things I'd never seen any other place, in my own searchings. I saw many things that I'd never seen before, and it was definately a place that I'd go back to.

P.S. Dragonsol, PM recieved, and another sent.

Thanks for the tip...i've been there before but not since Wave 6 came out...I will try there since I am still without wave 6 except for zombies.

FYI, I picked up the GF9 fire markers at this hobby store.

Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I'm a long time lurker/collector (I have 1 of just about everything, and a few duplicate squads) and wanted to get in the loop on any events in the area. I love miniature wargames, but rarely can find an opponent. Ofcourse I'm about to start a residency, so free time will be at a premium, but I wanted to get onboard none-the-less. Hope to meet some of you soon!

Hey TartanDoc. I am currently looking at jobs in the Raleigh area. If I move over there I would definitely be down for playing some HS with you. Good luck finding some opponents soon.

TartanDoc, seems like things here in NC have slowed down in recent months....for awhile there was some monthly gaming going on with some people from Raleigh and G'boro, but as far as I can tell that has ceased.

I don't know if any of you NC guys get over to High Point that often, but I was just at the Walmart off of East Hartley Rd and Business 311 and the had two 1st edition mastersets. I couldn't find the number that's supposed to tell if they were sparkly water or not, though.

im in charrlotte and am a scaper kid extrordinaire, im a custom tiler, rusher, user of few sets, master of the world of low allowance

I thought I'd jump in and say Hi. I just started playing last week. I only have a master set and have only played 4 games, but my wife is sick of it already

I would be interesting in playing with others in the area so long as they were patient with my n00bishness.

Welcome. If you have read this thread you will see that HS group play action has dried up in this area.

Perhaps we need a n00b

to spark us "old timers"?

I would be up for it if i was still in college living in raleigh. Sorry Reluctant

Mooresville NC. I would love to go to a tourney, and loose the "undefeated" tittle, but my tittle, to say the least, is somewhat limited, I mean, i don't play with ordermarkers, I never had. So, I guess I could go and play a "real" game. Im used to 1000 point teams and whatnot though.
