Well, as the title says, we are not going to GenCon. My Day job is slammed, and we just could not get the time off :(

That being said, we are having a sale! From now until Sunday night the 18th, everything on Rebelminis.com is 20% off! Use code "nogencon" when checking out! Who needs stinking Gencon anyway!

Being happy about that would be too self-serving, I suppose. :) Sorry you can't make the trip.

Awesome, have been thinking about picking up some Pangalactic Legion and this is the perfect excuse!

One question though – it seems that both 1st class and Priority mail options are the same price, why is that?

You, Sir, are EVIL

Bitter,
The postal rates have been restructured so that with lower weight packages the cost of standard versus priority are the same or within a few cents of each other. As an ebay seller I always quote the standard price but if priority is the same I upgrade it for the buyer.

Media and first rate postage are much the same way. Media is often inspected to prove the item qualifies. First class has no stipulations.

I don't know the why but my suspicious side says they want us to get used to these higher rate services so we just ask for them for everything.

We only have 2 shipping options. $6 USD in the US and $12 USD international.

M1Fanboy13 Aug 2013 9:52 a.m. PST

Yep…I too am enabled…god bless discounts…

SpleenRippa13 Aug 2013 9:58 a.m. PST

Order placed. Thanks!

Not to sound like a complaint, just pointing out that there were two options for postage at checkout, both priced at $6 USD, when IRL the USPS charges Priority at $2 USD+ more than 1st class. Contrary to Skyking's experience, I've never had the USPS charge me a few cents extra for priority on small packages. This only ever happens with larger packages.

As such, from a customer standpoint this is confusing as to what I'm paying for – is it always Priority or is it sent however is cheapest? If the latter, is the extra cost kept as handling or could it be refunded?

Sorry, we ship priority in the US and first class international.
That also means if you order 7lbs in the US it is still a flat $6 USD

USPS Priority mail packages – flat rate are $6.50 USD .

If I am remembering correctly Rebel Minis packages have arrived in the small flat rate boxes.

Perhaps both shipping options are the same priority flat rate box, but just listed differently?

Sorry for bothering You, but is there any possibilty that new versions of Vipers will be put in the offer in next two months?

Zephyr40k13 Aug 2013 3:04 p.m. PST

You know, my finger was just hovering over the "buy" button last night. And now, this. Wow. But of course instead of just pocketing my 20% savings, I wind up buying far more than I originally intended. LOL! I guess that's how these promotions are supposed to work.

Anyways, thanks for holding a sale. Sorry about GenCon. I hope to make it there as well one of these years.

Chef Lackey Rich Fezian13 Aug 2013 6:32 p.m. PST

Ah, my order came out to $66.66 USD, clearly a sign. I see you and raise you an order of magnitude, Beast.

Umpapa, what'd you have in mind? New weapons, or more?

Best,

Umpapa13 Aug 2013 11:07 p.m. PST

John, they promised two new sets of legs for vipers.

Personal logo Rebel Minis Sponsoring Member of TMP14 Aug 2013 4:14 a.m. PST

They are planned but I am not sure of the schedule yet :(

Splintered Light Miniatures Sponsoring Member of TMP15 Aug 2013 6:09 p.m. PST

We definitely need to get Splintered Light and Rebel up to Gencon next year!

"Who needs stinking Gencon anyway!"

Wasn't that a song on the Simpson's? Apu I think "
Who needs stinking Gencon anyway!
Their floor's are sticky something somethingsomething.."

I won't be going either so I guess I'll just make an order.
