There's the link.  Please don't post it on other forums.

Looks to be the hobby supply range only, which is about as "nice" as it can be at this point.  I had suspected this to be an area they increased prices on this year.

Weird that there was ZERO mention of this prior to it showing up in my inbox today.  I thought they might finally skip a year.  HA!

Chase,

What is the chance that y'all will start carrying Vallejo, Army Painter, or Reaper paints?

Chase,

In Plainville the chances are currently small that we'll bring on Vallejo.  The others we're not likely to carry.

Abington has been flirting with the idea of carrying Vallejo for years and were already close to pulling the trigger.  I'd expect them to bring on the line sometime soon.

Ah, that is too bad, but understandable.

Vallejo> GW paints.

I'm a little flabbergasted GW has the balls to increase the cost on their SPRAY PAINT.  I've actually been using it, as it is very good primer, but c'mon, you can get similar primer at Home Depot for $4.

For paints, I actually really like the Army Painter stuff.  The old Reaper was good, but haven't played with the new stuff yet.  Want to pick up some Vallejo at some point.

For primer, I personally prefer Kryon at the whopping 3$ a can.

Of course, I want to find a good primer to shoot through the airbrush.

I would love to see Abington selling Vallejo, and will gladly make the trip there to get some more.  I have tried it (and love it) but ordering it all online is a bother.  I got a couple of the sets of 6-7 colors (one was game colors, other was train colors) and would love to see some of the individual colors available to add to those...

Any chance of switching over to P3 then? Its still in those pain in the ass flip top containers but at least they're cheaper and give you more paint.
Should the miserable Grot crews survive for long they will soon become deafened and have to resort to a rudimentary system of sign language. This is rarely successful as there are only so many signs a Grot can carry around with him.
