Aaron posted this in the open talk section but I thought I'd post it here too as from time to time the topic of these ltd edition figures comes up.

It appears they are now no longer limited editions but freely available again through Foundry's website.

No more searching on Ebay - Hurrah, but then there's the price :x

The good news is you can now get Queen Victoria(Gaud Bless 'Er), her maid, Lady Kildear etc

Love the figs. Price is WAY TOO RICH for us poor familyman wargamers!!!

Of course the bad news is that they are $10 US a pop. No idea what they are charging you in the mother country, but I suspect it is more than the current exchange rate would make it.

Yep, agreed, but they often sell for more on Ebay.

£5 stirling for each.

Oh my, I'm suprised.

£5.00 each is way too high. Obviously GW have managed that and more for many years now but you do generally get a lot more metal by weight.

I was browsing their site last night and decided against paying £10.00 for packs of six so I will not be tempted to pay 3 times that.

Oh I agree it is too much, but at least back when I used to order from them the US and UK prices did not equate at all.

Yeah, I just saw this on their email update thingy. At first I was all excited, and the figures are lovely, and I had all these great ideas for painting them.

And then I saw the price. :cry:

Of course if you buy all eight figs as a collection, it works out as only £4.80 each. Before you add the flat rate £7 postage.

Surprisingly, this does not make me reach for my wallet. :x

Compared to some of the prices at GW, Foundry's figures are usually a bargain! How about $14 to $18 Cdn for single figures, including dwarfs, or $25 for something like a troll! $21 for a six-pack is a good deal in comparison.
Maybe, if they stay available long enough, we can buy the Limiteds during one of WF's periodic 20% off sales!

Cheers,
Mike

There must be lots of these from a few years back when people were buying their deals, they pop up on e-bay all the time. It will be interesting to see if the evil bay value goes up or down with this release?

I noticed and very tempting they are.

Works out about the same as GW and they seem to sell, the postage is criminal but I may have to get a couple. What worries me is the little line 'pack contents may vary' how does a single figure vary?

Ricco · « **Reply #13 on:** February 29, 2008, 06:11:37 PM »

Can't afford GW stuff as well!!

nickinsomerset · « **Reply #14 on:** February 29, 2008, 10:27:44 PM »

I have mine in their origional packets, always keeping an eye on ebay to see how they sell, may as well paint them now!

Tally Ho!
