The hobby bunker opened in 1998, how has it been "20+ years" ?
I know you are just trolling me, but I'll humor you anyway.

The Hobby Bunker was incorporated in 1997, yes, but they had a different business beforehand in another location (EDIT: Excaliber Hobbies, founded in the late 70s, I went and looked it up), and much of what we have there comes from that original store (the tables and terrain, particularly). The current owner worked there when he was younger, took it over from his father, and while he worked there he dealt with GW. There has been a long build in the relationship since the Rogue Trader days (which is why when we formed our club, there was enough of a backlog of old models that 2nd and 3rd Edition stuff was still on the shelves everywhere).

I have first-run boxes in the club area from the first sets of Terminators and Orks, given to us BY the store, as well as a copy of the original Rogue Trader that was pulled out of inventory from the back.

There is plenty more (like the fact that the tables we rebuilt in 2011 had dates written on them predating 1997...must have imagined those) but ehh. I'm sure you're 100% correct.

...

It isn't like, you know, you recently got caught lying and making up a bunch of garbage to antagonize an entire group of people there or anything.

It's very poor form to air your club's dirty laundry on another game store's forum.

Just for the record I dont know who Mike is nor do I care.  Or maybe I do know him just not putting a face to a name. 

However posting this here is neither appropriate or wanted.  May think about editing your post to remove it we have enough drama here as it is and dont need inter club drama spilling here as well.  A warning about a potential bad community member needs to be done in private and only to the TO's of events.  The masses dont need to see it.

Third holy hell man you need to change the background and font after looking at I went blind for several moments before my eyes could adjust again.

While I can appreciate the concerns raised, I'm not going to edit my post. If someone else wants to, be my guest, but I'm not going to.

I'm not going to let myself be trolled, which is all this dude does -- on every website we mutually have accounts on, he is one of the fastest to reply to topics I post in, and here is no different. I don't care either way. This isn't DakkaDakka, and I'm not some guy halfway across the world -- we'll see each other again, and it's going to be really interesting when we do.

Either way, to me, this is just me making sure it is crystal clear the person calling me out on my facts is just looking to antagonize (Speaking of...I went and asked, and for the record, before the Hobby Bunker it was Excalibur Hobbies, incorporated in '77, carried GW stuff since the '80s. So yes, 20+ years).

Sometimes I can be a bit slow, is it the may 24th 3k event that has been  cancelled?

I wasn't sure at first, but I think the 3k event on the 17th (in Abington) is still on!

3000 point event is on the 17th in Abington.  It's still on.

The narrative event we've been talking about doing is not going to happen this month.

Emailed you my address. Btw it should be known, about 70% of what he wrote was made up.

Yeah, sure it was. As opposed to your 100%, I guess.
