Post by: MagpieJono on November 02, 2019, 09:53:56 PM
There was an offer when completing this years Great Wargaming Survey where you could choose an item and just pay the postage.

Has anyone got there's yet? Mine's not come, said they would be sent out early October.

I recall either a post on Facebook or an email from WSS saying they had been delayed.

I'll admit, having seen the completed models of the sci-fi French guards, I'm not counting down the days. :-I

The models have yet to be released (currently scheduled for December it appears), so one assumes the free models won't be shipped any sooner than that.

Sorry for the bump - but anybody received these yet?

Just with Nick @ Northstar posting that the halflings were in the shop and being shipped out I was wondering if the survey freebies had also made an appearance yet...?

I'm awaiting a Sarissa shed and motorbike...  (Gazing vainly off into the distance...)  To be fair, given the appetite of cheapskate wargamers, I am not sure it would be commercially viable without bankrupting someone..

No sign of anything here in Vermont.  On the plus side, I don't have any tanks for the tank commanders yet anyway.

Got an email last week saying the Sarissa motorbike was being sent out and apologising for the delay . Nothing here yet though.

Looks like things are shipping.  My tank commanders arrived in the post this morning.

Hi everybody,

Guy here from WS&S. We have (as of last Thursday) received all of the promised sprues and MDF in our warehouse.

I want to apologise for the delays. The freebies were a great idea, we overestimated how long it would take to get the product from the manufacturer via us out to you. Rubicon delivered first, so you should have all received the Rubicon sprue. Both Sarissa and Wargames Atlantic had a few issues.

Next time we do this, we'll ensure we have our freebies ahead of time.

Regards,

Guy

Hah! Totally forgot to claim mine. ;D lol

It's all good. I think the survey is a great idea and participate every year.

I bought my Rubicon sprue at Warfare, probably cheaper than the not actually free one (because of p&p).

My Halflings arrived today.

Mine too, very nice figures, could have done with a cloak & hood though rather than all the helmets.

Hi Guy, received the Sarissa motorcycle and shed yesterday (a fabulous Christmas Present), and wish you all the best for Christmas and 2020.

My halflings came in today...

I forgot, was the freebie supposed to be half a sprue - 5 figures - or a sprue?

I received my sci-fi French the other day.

I can't really complain because they're free - but I'll admit to being disappointed. I'm not enthused by the poses (I feel they go beyond "heroic" into just "silly") and the heads shown in the concept art and previews aren't included. Instead of the bearskins that I might've been able to make work, we get only the sci-fi-Adrien gasmask helmets which are... kinda not what I had in mind for VSF adventures. So yeah. I'm complaining, but I really shouldn't. :P

I received mine a few days ago and I'm afraid I have to echo N.C.S.E's sentiments on them.  :?

My halflings came in the mail yesterday (Austin Tx).Great little set of figures and my Frostgrave halfling war band will get some nice reinforcements.

My Les Grognards arrived at the end of last week.

I like them and they are quite fun miniatures. As noted above the sprues did not have the shakos, kepis or bearskins (they look to be on a sprue of their own) but the gas-masked Adrian helmets will do. For the curious, here's what they look like:

Rubicon tank commanders are brilliant. Thank you Guy and the team @ WSS.
