"I am temporarily sold out of my flint-tipped spears!" Topic

Hello folks,

I wanted to post a note to mention that I am sold out of FOI 301, my flint-tipped spear sprue:

I should have them back in stock by the end of the month.

It's a pleasant surprise that I sold out of these first – I really thought that my peacocks would be the first to sell out, but so far that's not the case. But I'm happy to be selling anything, since it's all by email so far!

And because of the popularity of the spears, I'll be releasing a couple of other flint weapon sprues later this summer.

As always, you can check my Forge of Ice section of the Excelsior forums for updates – my blog thread contains the most current info.

I'm curious to hear from the customers – what are you planning to use them for (or with)?

Caught knapping eh?

You. Coat. Door. That way.

@ reccerat: Ha!

Congratulations, Alex!

Hmmm. All I heard* here was "I'll be releasing a couple of other flint weapon sprues later this summer." I don't see this as bad news at all.

I think it's awesome.

*My wife says I have selective hearing.

One person told me they'd be using them with their goblins, to make them more primitive-looking.

But that's the only person I've heard speficics from.

WELL, OLE DAWGIE thinks this is great news for gamers like me who have their very own GRONK personality figure (think old geaser like LON CHANEY, JR, in the original version of 1,000,000 BC) to lead the tribe with. i am tired of making my own gnarly clubs and gnarly shafted flint tipped spears, axes, daggers, etc. ye aulde eyesight and hand eye coordination is not what it used to be, so i have quite literally shed my life's blood advancing my cave dewds/dewdettes technology from fire hardened wood to flint!

hey, i even converted a smooth faced, male slinger from one of CASTAWAY ARTS biblical figure lines into a DARYL HANNA clone; she can reach out and touch someone/something, putting the FEAR OF GONK into them!

sadly, the GONKS are not into throwing sticks and flint, horn or bone tipped javelins yet: we are still (with exception of DARYL) into thrusting spears, axes, clubs, and knives for up close and personal dances!

some of the lads do tote around a nice fist sized rock or two for long distance events, but hey, this is awkward as we have not invented _pockets_yet!

my CAVE folks are based around those BOBBY JACKSON neolithic folks that used to be available from REAPER. i have the basic figures plus variations on them that i made with epoxy ribbon (green stuff) piano wire, etc.

need to expand into other lines of 28mm neolithic folks: suggestions, please!
