Title: Fireforge foot sergeants
Post by: redrevuk on 11 October 2024, 08:29:03 PM

Hi All

Have Fireforge changed the number of figures in the foot sergeants box? It used to be 48 but I'm seeing different numbers on different online retailers (including Fireforge themselves). Anyone bought these recently?

Yes, they posted on Facebook back in May about redoing box contents for a lot of their sets.

Looking at the website it implies 36 figures ( but also says 32!) . I suspect 36 is the correct number as it mentions 6 figure frames, each presumably of 6 models. Is this yet another example of "shrinkflation", or am I being a tad unfair?

I think you will find on Ebay plenty of the old boxes for sale which still contain 48 figures.

IIRC they said that they were rejigging their boxes because they were no longer supplying bases with them.

So...48 down to 32 or 36...at least a 25% loss of figures and no vases...Did the price per box drop by at least 25% as well???

Shrinkflation indeed!!

Thanks all, at 8 per sprue I guess the new box is 32 models...that's 1/3 less

Managed to find an old one on ebay for a good price, but not as many around as I hoped.
