Hi Guys,

Well I've bit the bullet with a mate of mine and have started a hobby shop in SHailer Park on the southside of Brisbane.

We really want to have a hooby store for gamers and hobbyists run by gamers and hobbyists. The big grand opening is this Friday and is a 24 hour 20% off everything sale.
I'm really pleased to be stocking Seb's minis and am looking to support other Aussie scupltors.

I've created a couple of great painting set ups so I'm hoping to have a few interesting painting sessions with anyone who may want to come along.

The shop also features a lot of beautiful armies and Glenn Lamprecht has agreesd to display all of his 4 slayer sword winners and numerous other GD winners at the shop for a short time starting next week

Enough talk... :)

Gav :)
Press Release is below
Irresistible Force is proud to announce the grand opening of its first retail hobby store in South East Queensland. The store and a state of the art ecommerce web site will be opening for business midnight this Thursday the 23rd October 2008.

To celebrate this momentous occasion we are kicking things off with a grand opening sale offering 20% off the recommended retail price for every item across all our ranges! Irresistible Force Miniature Games & Hobbies stocks the best product lines across the major gaming systems including Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Lord of the Rings and Flames of War. We also stock Gale Force 9 and Silfor scenery products, as well as Casino Dice, Rare Earth Magnets and more.


Irresistible Force has long been associated with running premier Warhammer events including Fortunes of War and the Masters, as well as running the Warhammer Fantasy Rankings and producing a world renowned e-zine. Our vision is to extend our services to the gaming community by providing a fantastic hobby centre in South East Queensland and a professionally run online store for everyone to get their hands on quality products and services at competitive prices from people who understand and are actively involved in the hobby.


Any orders received from midnight on Thursday to midnight on Friday will receive 20% off the RRP of all items. This includes the Warhammer Warriors of Chaos Spearhead which has already hit our shelves. This is your chance to save a massive 20% off the RRP of the spearhead, a saving of $84.20! And on top of that we will ship it anywhere in Australia for free! So for $336.80 you will have your hands on the brand new Warriors of Chaos Spearhead if you order within the first 24 hours of the shop opening.


40K more your style? Well don’t fret as you can get in on the action as well with the Ultramarines Captain Sicarius, the Space Marine Sternguard Veterans & Space Marine Vanguard Veteran Squad box sets also in available under the 20% off sale.


Orders can be done either via the web site, in the store or via phone. If we don’t have your order in store we will add it to the Grand Opening Sale stock order and get it in and then to you ASAP.


Friday the 24th is an open day for anyone to attend the retail store. Over half a dozen Sydney gamers are making the trip up to Orktoberfest a day early and will be playing games all day and evening on our brand new gaming tables. So if you can get off work early come on down and play a game or two, check out the store and prepare yourself for Orktoberfest in the best possible way!


We hope to see you there but if not then Irresistible Force will have a stall onsite during Saturday at Orktoberfest so be sure to say hello.


The Irresistible Force Team.

We're hoping to get some international buisiness as well.... with the Aussie dollar worth so little to the euro and US dollar ... worthwhile buying from OS. I know I did when the aussie dollar was worth someting :) :) :lol: :shock:

Good luck! Its a tough industry, and i wish you all the best. Its a ballsy step starting you own business ( i know, ive lost 8 kilos since mine opened! )
I wish you all the best and plenty of kids with spare pocket money to be shaken out off.

Gav, Good to hear we have an independant gaming store opening in Brisbane, and the best thing is that it's nice and handy for me as it's just off the M1!!

What are the store's opening hours?

I take it from your previous post that you won't be making it to the regional round of Golden Demons.

Cheers
Simon

Hey Simon, I just thought of a good spot to play some Infinity games that's about halfway from your place and mine ;)

EDIT: Speaking of which, any chance on stocking them Gav, or is there no point? Oh and how was the opening?
