Distributor woes

[Hellspawn]

I recently started Legion, buying up a battlebox, 3 angelius', a raek, a metal ravagore, a couple stingers and a couple extra shredders. Now my lgs says that they can't even order Legion plastic kits for the foreseeable future. I'd rather not buy them online, as to support my LGS. So where should I go with these until the kits are once more available to us? Getting the rest of the faction doesn't seem to be a problem.

*is slightly jealous of 3 angelius!*

I'd say you could probably build a very workable force without nessessarily having to use the 3 heavies and 1 special heavy that come with the plastic kit (assuming you magnetize them to allow you to get 3 in 1).
So you can easily build your force up with other models that you can get access too. Asides which you'll have a lot on your plate to build and paint with the rest of the range.


As for stock, my personal view is to support your local store, but if it starts to get to a super long time scale wait (months and months) then I'd just head online and get what you need if your local is having serious stock problems.

I really like supporting my local LGS, but even when I ask them for stuff they often have a hard time getting it in. Sometimes it's months, sometimes it never comes in at all. If I've been thinking of purchasing something, and they happen to have it in stock, I'll buy it. I may even hold off a month or two and wait to see if it shows up. But I don't feel bad about ordering online, since it's often the difference between having a model and never getting it at all. The Legion plastic kits in particular suffer from this problem. I think they're just ridiculously massively popular, so most distributors can't get them because you either needed to order a ton early or you got none at all.
