How To Find BTD Sale Items

Black Tree Design (BTD) USA is having another one of their frequent sales.  This sale is to celebrate the American, post-Thanksgiving holiday tradition of a Black Friday sale.  BTD started early!

Often, the BTD sales offer a variable discount on a mix of SKUs.  For the bargain shopper, finding the SKU with the deepest discount (typically 50%) can be similar to a random search.  There is a better way!

First sign into BTD's Premium Membership.  It is free to join and only requires registration.
Next, select  "Advanced Search."
From this screen, choose your search criteria.  I picked "Historical", checked "as Main Category", "Additional Category", and "also search in subcategories."  Of course, you can refine your search to limit the results to only "Historical/Ancients/Trojans" but I picked the broadest historical category for this demo.  Finally, enter in the price range.  Since the 50% discount packs normally sell for $9.99, put in from 5.00 to 5.00 in the Price ($) criteria range fields. 
Voila!  The results!  All of the packs offered at 50% discount appear in the results screens.
Notice that results can be sorted by SKU or Product within this search.
Now, go out and do your part for the economy and 

Happy Thanksgiving!

  1. Great tip, Jonathan. I got the email last night and took a quick look - mainly for a few packs I'm wanting to pick up. Happy Turkey Day!

    2. I'm looking at the hobilars from the early-HYW mounted range - thinking of converting them to mounted archer yeoman for Lion Rampant.

  2. I didn't know how to do that. Not that it mattered - I just spent $100 yesterday on a German force for Bolt Action...

    1. I agree that the WWII range is excellent. I have painted a number of British and Germans and all are well sculpted.
