Unfortunately, the cost of tin has gone up considerably, and those Voidstriker minis are HUGE hunks of metal.

A lot of our other minis packs had one or two large minis and a lot of small bits, which spreads the cost out to multiple minis, and for the Honorverse and many of the AV:T hulls, "long cylinder" means "more cavities in the mold" which means "cheaper per part".

While it doesn't seem that way to the consumer, from a "buying them from the caster" perspective, every single bit pulled from a mold is, effectively, another mini.

At some point, someone is going to decide that getting more tin in production is a good thing. I look forward to that day, as does most of the pewter casting industry.

Attack Vector ships

And the Voidstriker minis are up here.

Sam hasn't taken the "Pre-order" tag off of the Voidstriker fleet box yet, so until that's corrected, you can still get the steeply discounted shipping options.

I suggest you do it soon before he notices and fixes it...
