This week I actually squeesed $20 USD for figures out of the budget, so down to the local model shop to pick up a box of Zeveda Barbarians, the pic on the back show 5 barbarians the box is the right size for 5 models and 5 models for $20 USD makes it better value than 4 plastic GW orks for $23. USD So how many barbarians in the box? ONE! One lousy barbarian for $20! The model shop was willing to take it back and refund me my money so no complaints there but someone somewhere is making money. I checked TMP before buying and several people mentioned that they were good value so just what are these sets selling for overseas? Thanks for listening to me vent. Robert |

I bought one for less than $5 USD when the Squadron Shop was cleaning out their Zvedza (or however you spell it) Ring of Rule figures. And even at that price, not a bargain. The larger unit sets are much better value for money, although I almost never assemble one since they are just silly about how they break down the parts (GW: right arm holding sword; RoR: right arm, right hand, sword crossguard/blade piece, bit of hilt to glue to the bottom of the hand). |

I think the reason for showing 5 barbarians is that you can build it 5 different ways, as there are different barbarian abilities. But for that money I would have expected a sprue of 5 barbarians too |

Zvezda really snafued on RoR. IT isn't a bad system, but there is  all support. A few years back I offered to redo their 2nd pass troop stat sheets in idiomatic English, they didn't even respond, even though we had correspondence in the past and they had linked to my review And building the figures is a pain |
