	Personally, I have never had that many problems with GW customer
service-wise.  When I my belligerent mother throw out my Epic rule books
during my parent's recent divorce, they sent me a new set.  I've only
just started playing WH40K myself (I admit that the 3rd Edition is a
MAJOR improvment over the 2nd), and when there was a pack of space
marine backpacks missing from my boxed set they were on only too happy
to send me a new sprue.  

	I know... I know... the price.	That is something I don't really
have
to worry about.  I purchase all my Epic an 40K supplies from a store
that gives a 30% discount on all GW merchdise.	A $20 dollar Vyper
Jetbike only costs me $14.  Lead minis are only 4 bucks a blister.

	I'm looking forward for BG for one primary reason:  THE SHIPS! 
I,
being both financially desperate and a fool, sold my old Space Fleet
figs. (Though I'm going to see if I can buy them back.)  Say what you
want about GWs practices, I still love their "gothic" ships and look
forward to buying them.
