Title: The Coming Of The King...
Post by: Uncle Mike on 03 September 2010, 02:28:01 PM
You guessed it! The secret project of the month is making King In Yellow models to go with the rules located inside Strange Aeons Magazine. Only 100 made! Cast in yellow! Order now before all hope is lost! This was a great little project and I can see us working together in the future...perhaps you should get a subscription...just to be safe!

I emailed the magazine guys as soon as I saw this post... either they are not in the office, are too busy or don't check their email frequently.........  :-I

Had a reply, they're rather busy but sorting out postage costs and will get back

Hang in there!

Yep, that is the same reply I received, with the promise to reserve one of the minis for me  :D

 It is like they could read my mind  :D

Same answer for me and they promised to keep one mini for me! So I can sleep my nights in ease now.

Wait a second, this has nothing to do with Elvis!

Is there a photo of the King in Yellow? Looking forward to more information.

Edit: Yeah there's a photo of the king now, very cool miniatures.

I had an answer a couple of weeks ago - have to dig out the mail at home, though.

I thought I'd wait for issue 3 to surface before placing an order.

Still awaiting a follow up email with postage costs myself. Perhaps it's been lost in the dreamlands...  o_o
Title: Re: The Coming Of The King...
Post by: Argonor on 09 September 2010, 07:04:40 PM
This is the price I was quoted:

The total for Issue 1 & 2 to Denmark would be:

First Class - $13.98 + $11.02 = $25.00 USD

Priority - $13.98 + $13.52 = $27.50 USD

Ditto. I hope I don't miss out on the offer.

Post by: Malebolgia on 10 September 2010, 08:33:30 AM
Well, that's too expensive for me. Don't want to pay $25 for the rules and the mini...that's too steep. Ah well, I'll wait for a possible regular release somewhere in the future :)
Title: Re: The Coming Of The King...
Post by: Argonor on 10 September 2010, 08:56:23 AM
Oh, that was for 2 issues, including postage. I think I'll order issues 1-3 in one go - should bring down the average cost per issue. Then, if I do not think the magazines worth the postage, I'll not order more - but they DO look interesting...

I need to get a game of SA on, very soon! Have a Heresy 'Posing Vampire' (Nosferatu Head) almost painted for a night stalker.... Every time I see a painted mini atm, I start looking for my dice... haven't had a game for over a month, starting to have withdrawal symptoms...

I live in Denmark, and had the above reply.

Post by: Sheerluck Holmes on 21 September 2010, 12:52:11 AM
Yep - I had my reply this morning Aussie time - one issue plus postage $16.. which I am happy with, as a standard wargames magazine cost around that much in Australia for one issue (from a newsagents in my area).

To Denmark

Quote:
Issues 1-3:

Magazines   $20.97 ($6.99 x 3)
S & H       $13.50 (International Priority Flat Rate)
----------------------------------------------
TOTAL:      $34.47 USD

* 1st Class shipping is available, but it's actually more than priority ($14.50 USD) so I didn't include that option. *
/Quote

If I get access to my computer during the week (phone company won't move it until the 29th, so I have to go to the old place), I think I'll try it out.

If anyone else in the UK is interested, i got the same quote as Argonor, so that must be the Europe price, not too bad, I've placed my order and look forward to the extra rules and king in yellow mini,

I got today the same pricing to Finland:

...with kind apologizes for the delay in sending their answer (I completely buy their explanation that a Shoggoth might have been involved - what else could it be? lol) with a promise that I have one model and magazine reserved if I choose to accept the shipping costs.

Well... payment is on it's eldritch way to Strange Aeons (magazine) so welcome home, King (cast) in Yellow... ;)

I have received my copy 10 minutes ago. And the King is on the painting table waiting for the next hours... Very nice miniature!! The magazine seems nice too but I need some time to read it.

Darn, forgot all about his.... Probably due to the fact that we are very close to handing over the keys of our former home to the landlord, and we are somewhat unsure what they might claim we haven't redecorated well enough....  :?  I shall be SO happy when this business is all done, and I know what money I have at disposal...

I was going to ask the other day if anyone has their copy... mine hasn't arrived yet, bu there again it can take 3 - 4 four weeks from that part of the world to Australia.

 Which is weird, as I can get things from the UK in 1 week  o_o
Title: Re: The Coming Of The King...
Post by: jnr on 23 October 2010, 09:52:33 PM
I to was a bit worried, and sent a email and received a reply saying they had been sent out, maybe yours on a slow boat to China, and it’s grounded on a mystery island in the south sea  covered with a swirling mist.
No idea if am going to paint the Yellow King or leave him on the self with the H P Lovecraft miniature I got with the game.













Title: Re: The Coming Of The King...
Post by: Sheerluck Holmes on 25 October 2010, 08:14:35 AM
Yay! Mine arrived today  :D

 I love the figure and the mag is pretty cool too.

 Thanks to Strange Aeons and to Strange Aeons for working together on this one  :D
