Did you discuss this with the staff? This sort of feedback might help guide them :-\

No. partly because some of it only occurred to me later, and partly because they have invested in a lot of stock, it seemed a bit churlish to suggest buying more from yet another manufacturer.

Part of the problem for retailers is that there is now so much wargames stuff available, that for a retailer it must be very hard to know what to stock.

Perhaps something to mention on your next visit. Along the lines of, next time you are getting some stock in you might like to think about...

I have had similar conversations with several of the Hobby shops in the greater Wellington area and they appreciate the different perspective and feedback

One or two of them also appear to have taken up some of my suggestions ;)

Yep, good suggestion.

When you can get a shop in Wellington to stock Pendraken, then we will know you have been successful!

As it seems there are a bunch of us local - it would be good to meet up, and show off some 10mm games. 

Only 50 miles, definitely worth a day trip to check out the shop and possibly do a game or two, but what period and rules?
