Neko_Ali:
Around here, quite a bit actually. My usual store carries quite a bit across their ranges. I just picked up some scenery last weekend, and ordered a Deadzone army starter kit. There have a bunch of other Deadzone and Kings of War there as well. If I go up the road to the Hobby Town they have an entire 8 foot wall section packed with Mantic stuff.

TheEvilDog:
Half the stuff my local now sells is Mantic. They only have a thin smattering of GW stuff (probably because they're an independent and one day a GW rep came in and demanded they stop selling Privateer Press stock....).
But yeah, Mantic is becoming fairly popular here.

GarandMarine:
That's pretty shocking, I'm going to have to call one of their sales guys I drink beer with and congratulate him. Also EvilDog, not to say your LWS is full of shit, but I think they're full of shit. GW hasn't done belly to belly sales since Christ was a Corporal, and while their business practices leave something to be desired nine out of ten times, in my years of interaction with them I've NEVER heard of A. a personal sales rep coming into the store (speaking as a former sales guy for a major wargaming company, no one cares about any one's LGS enough to fly or drive someone out, even if you were located next door to the Marietta Facility when it was still there) B. Flat out demanding they remove other product lines. That's flat out nuts.

TheEvilDog:
I was there when it happened, saw the rep coming in, who saw the PP stock and started blasting at the guy behind the counter and demanding he take the stock off the shelves. One of the other staff members went and brought the manager out and the rep started ripping into him. Manager just looked at him and said fine, he was finished with GW providing stock. The rep's face blanched and he muttered an apology but he was shown the door. Everyone in the shop gave the manager a standard ovation. Since then, they've only ever gotten a bare amount of stock. The rep supposedly has a reputation for bullying smaller stockists. The thing is, the manager got away with it because it's the only major stockist in about a 200 mile radius.

GarandMarine:
Shit that's industry suicide even for Workshop.
