There will be a small price increase coming on 1st February, affecting the bulk of our infantry, cavalry and artillery packs, taking them from £5.25 GBP to £5.50 GBP per pack. This adds a little less than £0.01 GBP to an infantry figure, and just under £0.02 GBP to a cavalry figure. There will not be any price changes to our vehicles, WWII-onwards artillery packs, or our flagsheets. Pricing on custom orders will also remain at the same rate of £0.20 GBP per foot/£0.40 GBP per mounted as well.
There will also be a small increase on the Vallejo paints, from £2.30 GBP up to £2.35 GBP per 18ml pot.
We only put our prices up when it's a necessary change, and this time is no different. Whilst the metal prices have stabilized over the past year or two, other areas like shipping costs and utility bills have continued to increase by a few % each year. There's also a 6% increase coming on the minimum wage this April, so we'll need to make sure that all of our staff get a pay rise (we've got a great bunch of employees and already pay above the minimum, but we want to keep ahead of the curve).
As a rough guide, the price increase is a little under 5% and will look like this:
Regular 30 foot / 15 cav / 3 gun + crew packs = £5.25 GBP up to £5.50 GBP
WWII-onwards 10-man foot packs = £1.75 GBP up to £1.85 GBP
Army packs = £33.00 GBP up to £34.00 GBP
These changes keep us around the middle of the pricing range for 10mm in the current market, there's a few higher than us and a few lower. We'll be continuing to plow somewhere close to £10,000.00 GBP per year into new product ranges, as well as adding more pro-painted photos to our website, and continuing to bring the order turnaround times down further (we're currently at around five days on average). Combined with our extensive catalogue and customer service, we hope that you still find us value for money and keep supporting us!
