Casiarius Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I figured I would post this in Rogue Trading since it's a transaction we're discussing, and it's not limited to any specific game. So, Miniature Scenery in Australia makes terrain and vehicles out of 3mm MDF. I've been thinking of ordering some Building Widgets and maybe a Tactical Response Vehicle. Pretre mentioned that he liked their Goblin Guns. Both of us have held off actually ordering anything from them due to the high cost of shipping things from Australia.Of course if there were other people out there who were interested, we could make a combined order for cheaper shipping. Things like the Building Widgets and Tactical Response Vehicle can also be purchased cheaper in lots of 3 or 4. We may already have a third co-conspirator and we're looking for more. See anything on their web site you can't live without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 For comparison, these are $47.39 for 3: 3 for $49.41 Let's do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I've been looking at some of their eldar terrain features… I would be interested in cutting the shipping cost :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Okay, so let's start running some numbers. Post what quantities you are interested in and we'll work up a speculative order with shipping and see if it is worth it. I'm going for: 1 Set of Goblin Guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casiarius Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I may have one more interested party from outside of the Ordo, and I'll see if I can get them to comit in the next 24 hours. Myself; I am not in a big hurry. I've been watching these things for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 yeah… I am not in a huge hurry… I have the bookmark for the one on my desktop…been watching them as well - but if we get a group buy - then that makes it easier. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 I may not be in a hurry - but thinking about the game table challenge for OFCC… and possibly Black Friday Apoc later this year :) -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casiarius Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Well, put me down for two packs of Building Widgets (so Jay and I will share a 4-pack for the discount), and the 3-pack of Tactical Response Vehicles. After obtaining "a few" extra Vallejo paint bottles at Bridgetown, I'm also tempted to get their Dropper Bottle Rack, unless someone else has a better storage solution for those bottles.
