When did The prices go up for their 15mm lines? I haven't needed any in awhile, but it seems the prices have risen exponentially. |

I don't know about exponentially, but they have gone up – everything on the site seems to have jumped $2 USD per bag/ship for larger bags and $1 USD per bag for smaller bags (pre-army discount). This happened after mid-March when I did my last order. I noticed this last week and caused me to rethink my next order. |

Same here, I was considering an order of about 20-25 packs of different periods with one price in my head. After the new calculations I had to take a step back even with discount. |

My last order was March 18th, at a retail of $16 USD/pack, so sometime after that. That'll probably make me wait a bit on my 1812 project! |

Packs in the UK seem to have risen too. Now they are £15.00 GBP ($19) for 30 figures with Cavalry £15.00 GBP for 15 figures. Remember 15mm's ? The 'cheap' option? Most of my projects have been downsized. This is about the same price as 28mm's were when they started going over to plastic. Come on someone- plastics for 15mm !

We are in the middle of a "trade war" with tariffs as high as 25% on some items between the two biggest economies in the world, and some game industry prices have not gone up for quite a while, while prices do increase generally a percent or two every year. |

I would say it was more than a percent or two every year though. The early nineties saw a 15mm foot figure at around 10p each, now they are 50p a foot figure that's 400% in 20 odd years. Even accounting for inflation and trade wars That's a pretty seismic increase. |
