Well, it looks like DiceBucket FINALLY got shut down by Games Workshop. They have violated GW rules by having an online shopping cart for years now.
Frankly, it's about time. Games Workshop has had a rule that doesn't allow online retailers to have shopping carts or lists of product online. But several have done it anyway, Dicebucket being one of the biggest. And as many of you know, I personally think, if Games Workshop really wants to help FLGS's, they should ban discounting all together. Yes, it helps us all buy our product cheaper, which is great if you don't have a store near you. But it takes away from the FLGS trying to support the hobby and trying to keep their doors open.
Another reason to hate Games Workshop corporate is that they threaten Mom & Pop retailers with this and that, but refuse to enforce their rules against big online retailers. I first posted about DiceBucket in JANUARY 2012. So it took GW 20 months to do something? And during that time GW, these discounters were breaking GW rules and hurting every FLGS in the country. The very same stores GW talks a lot about helping but rarely do anything to really support.
I asked GW about this many times, and always got a BS answer. "Oh we are working on it". Finally they come out with NEW rules, and I guess they finally decided to enforce them. And don't get me started on their "no bits" policy, which is utter horsecrap.
Anyway, there you have it. DiceBucket is no more. And good riddance!
