Given the huge spike in fuel prices in the last few days, weeks, months, I suggest that if you want to make any international purchases, you do so NOW, before the shipping rates increase again, and/or the fuel surcharges get slapped on to your shipments. No doubt, the increasing costs for fuel and energy will hit the manufacturers soon too, so get those orders in fast, before that happens. |

Not to mention the cost of plastics. |

1) 28's are done. 2) The unpainted 5/6mm will take me years to paint--by which time there will be some different crisis. 3) I expect shipping on 2mm armies will remain affordable. And the surge in "get your orders in NOW" is one of the things which spikes inflation. I think I'll sit on my lead pile for a couple of years and see whether the next crisis makes more sense than the last three or four panics. |

I might have to live off my Strategic Model Reserves. Those purchases were prepping, that's it! |

Mr. Elmo Lol. That's awesome. Strategic Model Reserve (SMR). Everyone should have one. |

This should really be interesting as Reaper is planning on launching its Bones VI KS this month, and I am wondering how the increased prices will affect it. |

Well, I do hope that, keeping in mind the impending price hikes, everyone appreciates the opportunity created by my stuff showing up on eBay and in flea markets. |

Cool Minis Marvel Zombicide shipping costs prevented me from ordering it on their most recent kickstarter. When shipping hits triple digits… forget it!! |

Buy every class of supply you can as the costs certainly will go up … And this will not stop anytime soon. Maybe in Nov.? |
