I am U.S. based. When I search for Oathmark, the only single sprue humans that come up are from Australia from one seller. If others are being listed, they are selling before I see them, which I check eBay twice a day for various searches or they are not listed under Oathmark.Brigade games in the U.S. sells some of the Frostgrave plastics by the sprue but not all of them and none of the Oathmark. The main problem with them though is their shipping. For some reason, a single sprue sent to me cost $8 shipping. First Class mail in the U.S. for this should cost no more than $4. So by the time you figure in their shipping, it usually is cheaper to buy stuff directly from Northstar.
We have done that in the past, but to avoid upsetting Tim again, we're not going to with this Dwarf release. It'll just be the box set.But the Goblin Wolf Riders, that'll be a different story...
Thinking ahead, when you do the Elvish cavalry, can we have an option for horse archers please??
A friend loaned me a few articles written by Mr Green about converting historical figures into 1st age Tolkien Elves. Truly inspiring articles!
First, I ship a lot of stuff myself, and the absolute bare minimum for a package or large rigid envelope is $4.06 these days, and that's not even allowing for the fact that packaging costs money too. Any box large enough to fit an intact sprue would drive the weight up over $4.80 and maybe higher. A padded envelope would be lighter but not by much, still gets charged at the same rate brackets due to being rigid (can't fold a sprue, after all), and is far more likely to arrive with broken bits. If Brigade says the shipping is $8 that's probably about what it's costing them.Second, why don't you try asking around your local gaming group and see if people would like to split a box with you? Dividing the costs would certainly get you a lower cost per model than trying to order individual sprues, and wouldn't leave you with a ton of extras.
