I normally like to pick up my figs from local stores, but in the case of some of Spartan's models, most notably the new Firestorm SRS tokens, they aren't offered anywhere other than the online store. If we can get an order over about $162 (converted from pound sterling) we can get free shipping. Sounds like a lot, but it's actually just over 11 SRS token orders (10 tokens per order).
Tokens are available for all 6 of the major races as well as Kedorians (I'll order these), Works Raptor, Tarakians (more for me), Syndicate, Ryushi, RSN, Oroshan (more for me), and OmniDyne.
They also have the OmniDyne dread offered for sale online at a discount for those thinking of OmniDyne.
Any takers? If there's interest here, I can also post to the League of Extraordinary Gamers facebook page if need a few more orders to get over the free-shipping limit.
-
I'd be in for at least an order of SRS tokens for my RSN, and possibly one of the Chinese ships.
-
We may need to discuss a Planetfall pre-order as well.....
As I posted on another thread, I'd be willing to pick up the Planetfall boxed set and sell off the Directorate forces if someone wanted to go that route.
-
I'd contribute to an order. Some SRS possibly, and some DW ships/parts.
-
Restarting this discussion to see just how many folks are really interested and set a timeline for making the order. I don't have any specific budget date for making my portion of the order, so I'm good to go whenever. I ask that everyone post what they want and in what quantity, as well as a total for their order (just put it in pounds using the pricing from the Spartan site). Once we reach 100 and everyone's budget date, I'll post the order. I'll swap SRS for $$ once the order comes in.
My order:
Kedorians
Tarakians
Oroshan
Total: 27
-
I assume this is for SRS tokens, right?
RSN
Total: 9
-
Primarily yes, but if someone needs something else, the main goal is to get over the free shipping threshold. With your order, that puts us at 36!
-
Seeing as there doesn't seem to be much interest just at the moment, I'm going to put this on hold. If we get some more folks playing and interested in getting the SRS tokens, we can re-visit.
-
I do need to order some stuff. I'll put together a list for the weekend and see how close it gets us.
-
How short are we? Still only at 36 pounds?
-
If we're talking pounds, I have about 70# I'm more than happy to have liposuctioned off and contribute.
As for Spartan, looks like a lot more of the singles are available on their site so shopping is now easier.
-
Pound Sterling........
On a positive note, the exchange rate is slowly improving as the Dollar strengthens. If that continues, we could get this stuff a bit cheaper.
Greg, I found out that one of the boxed sets I want badly back-ordered through the distributors, so I was going to add it to the list plus two bits that I need for my Martians. That would put us up to about 80 pounds. If we can cover the last 20, we'll be good to go.
-
Ok, so put me in for:
1 Pack (3) of Antarctican Cleomedes Cruisers (14#)
1 Pack (3) of French Dieppe Cruisers (13#)
Both are still found in the "Parts" sections under their respective nations.
1 Pack Aquan Prime SRS (9#)
1 Pack Directorate SRS (9#)
4 Terran Fighter SRS (4#)
4 Terran Bomber SRS (4#)
The Terrans are only listed as singles.
-
Just an FYI, I'll probably be needing to place another order in Dec/Jan or so, if you guys are interested and want to plan ahead.
-
Awesome! I'll go ahead and post the order tonight. I'll compare the total order in pounds against what's charged to my card and use that to figure out the exchange rate. I'll send you the totals via e-mail and we can settle up when the order comes in.
-
Sweet! My Chinese SAS pilots will be happy not to be flying bombing runs for my RSN commodore anymore.
-
The order has arrived!
-
Sweet! I'll be at the Haven Tuesday and Thursday night this week, if that works for you. If not, maybe I can swing by your place this weekend to pick them up.
-
Any thoughts of doing this again this year?
I am in need of a few spaceship parts.
-
I'm doing an order, but Spartan is VERY sticky about Vanguards mixing their orders with stuff for others. So I'll have to be on my own.
-
Well us "normal" people don't want to get mixed up with the likes of high and mighty Vanguards anyways ;)
-
Since payday is tomorrow (YAY!!!), I'm going to place a Spartan order in the next week or two. Sounds like you've got some stuff you want Quickdraw, anyone else ready to place an order?
-
FYI, recently ordered from Spartan, the shipping for about five models was about $16.
No real issue
I then ordered from Troll trader in the UK, a LoIS box set, shipping was about $5 and the cost was under MSRP. Not sure if they sell individual models. They did have a box set all my U.S. sources did not. I pre-ordered the LoIS aerial box but it failed to come. Anyone else have that issue?
