Game Auction - January 26 at Noon

It's that time again!

If you want to sell something in the auction bring it into the store and fill out a simple form to get your item in the auction. Not all items will be accepted. We tend to cut off anything that we're getting too many of or anything that has shown a pattern in the past of not selling. We don't want to waste anybody's time by having a lot of dead items. During the auction the auction staff will sell your items. At the end of the auction you will receive a gift card containing the FULL SALE PRICE of the items that you sold . Please avoid brining your items in on the day of the auction if you can help it. That day is crazy enough without having to spend all morning checking in new lots.

If you're just looking to buy come on in before the auction (either on the day or earlier) to get a sneak peek at the auction lots. We generally have a full cross-section of gaming goodness. You'll find board games, RPGs, miniatures, magazines, card games, the occasional videogame, and other fun stuff. This is definitely a buyers market. You can expect to find some great deals on gaming items new and old.

The auction usually runs about 3-4 hours and is a LOT of fun. Even if you aren't planning to buy you may still want to come over and check it out. The auctioneers and the crowd are both very entertaining. It's also a good time to meet new people as the auction tends to be one of our single biggest events with people from a variety of backgrounds and interests.

Be sure to check the forum for more information about the auction as well as what people are planning to bring.

7th Anniversay Party - Thursday at 6pm

It's that time of year again!

That's right, Greenfield Games has turned another year older and we're going to celebrate.

On Thursday evening at 6pm we'll be running game demos and serving refreshments and generally being pleased with our customers and ourselves for keeping the store going for another year.

If you've been into the store recently then you already know that we've been offering tickets for a drawing for each $25 purchase. Each ticket gets you one chance to win one of our great prizes at the party. There's still a couple of days to get in on this part of the fun. Stop by the store today and make a $25 or greater purchase to get a ticket, then bring that ticket back on Thursday night.

We're really looking forward to seeing you all at the store!

'Ard Boyz Tournament Prizes...

If you were thinking "I don't know if I should enter the 'Ard Boyz Tournament" then think again! The top three winners will all be getting some nice prizes for taking part. First place will be getting a Battleforce boxed set of their choice! 2nd place can choose from amongst the smaller boxed sets (infantry units, etc.), and third place can pick something from the blister packs.

With Apocalypse coming out the addition of a new Battleforce can really help bump up the point value of your army.

'Ard Boyz Tournament - September 22nd

If you're a hard-core 40K player and looking for some competition, then you'll want to clear your Calendar for the 'Ard Boyz Tournament on September 22nd.

Greenfield Games will be hosting this regional event which will pit players from around the area and their 2500 point armies against one-another for a chance to get to the semi-finals on October 13th. Winners of the semi's get invited to go to Baltimore in November and battle to see who is the best of the best.

Want to find out all of the rules? Then download them here. Then, come into the store and sign up as soon as you can. We need to get an idea of the space we'll need to free up for the event and make arrangements for possible spillover.

First Batch of Dark Heresy Products Revealed

The first four products coming for the Warhammer 40,000 Roleplaying game, Dark Heresy, has finally been revealed. The release schedule looks very similar to the first releases for the Warhammer Fantasy RPG. They are, Dark Heresy, Purge the Unclean (an adventure anthology), the Game Master's Kit and the Character Folio. You can see all of the cover art on our Dark Heresy product page.

Dark Heresy... I've never wanted you more than I do right now.

New Store Gallery - And you can contribute!

I've just created a new Flickr pool for store photos. In fact, anything related to the store could be posted there as long as it's in good taste and has something to do with the store.

Anybody can go over and check out the pictures, but only members can actually add photos. If you already have a Yahoo account then you can get set up with Flickr pretty much immediately. If not, you just need to create an account (it's free!).

I wanted to have a place to more easily post pictures of the store, so new pictures would be going up all of the time. I hope that you can contribute.

BTW - If you post pictures in the pool then you might just see them here on the site!

Decal Delays

This is just a quick heads-up for those of you thinking about ordering decals.

Our decal production facility is moving back to it's original home in Massachusetts (if you don't count the fact that it actually started life in California about 8 years ago). This means that if you didn't have an order in by 2/26 you'll have to wait about two-three weeks for your order to get processed. If you did have your order in by 2/26 then you have no cause for concern. Your order has been processed.

I apologize for the delays that the decals have gone through over the past year and a half. The fact that we're moving the operation back to the store in Massachusetts means that it won't get delayed by moves anymore. Mechanical problems, holidays, really nice springs days... that's another matter.
