Dear GHQ -- these are great deals but not enough selection for me to put together an order and incur shipping charges. I don't need a Tirpitz and an 88mm gun. Or a T-55 and FW190. I'd rather see a category or subcategory on sale so I can buy a variety of what I need. Just my opinion. Thanks. |

Couldn't have said it better. Now if they will only listen. |

Actually, when you compare the price per unit of a 1/285th tank to a 28mm figure, the micro armor is definitely cheaper. As a game, overall, micro armor is a bargain, even at that price. A cheaper alternative is CinC, Scotia or H&R. But on a whole GHQ are much nicer models. |

Actually, the CinC models from PFC. now, are very nice, crisp, castings too. A slightly different style than GHQ does, but still superb miniatures, as you can see by the photos on their website. Oh, and I agree with the commentary above too. Some of these are very nice deals, but I only need so many of one type, e.g. perhaps a pack or two, so paying the shipping charges for just those negates the discount. |

We definitely do listen to our customers. Thanks for the feedback! One funny/ironic thing is that we used to have our Website Specials be all from one country/era (all WWII German, all Modern US, etc.), and we had a number of people contact us, and say that they would prefer more of a completely random, shotgun selection. That is why we do it the way that we do now. Your suggestion will be brought to the attention of the people who make those decisions. Thank you for your support, GHQ |

Ha! Just shows you can't satisfy everybody. If the random approach results in more sales than with the category grouping, then you go with what works better. For me, the group approach entices me to jump into a new period or scale. The random approach doesn't. Thanks for responding. |

Yeah, which ever sells more do it. I'd love to see some of the Battle of Britain planes on sale. :-) GHQ is awesome. |

Do messages to GHQ from the website go direct to GHQ, or to a third party (website management?). I sent an email to the site regarding an issue on 12 November and so far no reply. I sent a message again yesterday, having tried to telephone the contact telephone number several times over the intervening time, again without success. |

My take on their monthly specials is that they attempt to provide a item or two each for the WW2 land gamers, the modern land gamers, and the naval gamers. I'm sure that this must be the best sales strategy for them or they would not be doing it this way. |
