Title: Conquest Pre-Orders for regulars are up
Post by: Conquest on 04 March 2011, 07:07:59 PM
Finally!!!

After all these years and several dead horses, I have the British and French Marching Regulars up for pre-order.

There are 'booster' packs with 4 or 6 models or, you can buy whole 'regiments' and save a little money.

The Zindians! make their debut as well. Zombie Indians who's sacred burial ground was disturbed one too many times and have risen for revenge! S-c-a-l-p-s…

p.s. I am aware also that some folks are getting anti-virus warnings from their anti-virus programs while visiting my site. I've looked into it and used Kaspersky to scan it and can find nothing. I'm not the most technically savvy but my web host says they see nothing either.

I am using an older out of date web editor (frontpage) which is no longer supported by windows so that could be the problem. As soon as I discover how to use a different program I'll switch over.

Thank you for the update. Any ETA on the re-stock for the Last of the Mohicans set?

They will be available again on or before April 2nd. They have all new molds so the cast will be cleaner and crisper.

Brilliant! I just had a plan a couple of days ago that involved pissed off indian spirits. Cheers for the mindshare ;)

Has anybody had any word from Conquest? I placed a pre-order for the Last of the Mohicans set and it is now 2 months overdue and I have not been able to get any response from Conquest.

There was a note posted on the Conquest site on April 9th that a mistake had been made and some figures hadn't been sent to the caster, but the time frame quoted was 2-3 weeks to get the problem sorted out and since then there has been nothing.

On the 500 Nations page, a due date of April 23rd was posted, but that was changed to out-of-stock/delayed and there has been no word since then.

I realize that Conquest is a one-man operation, but I'm not best pleased that my queries are being ignored.

I just traded a couple of emails with him about the regulars last week. I'll send him a link to this thread and see if he notices it.

I have more or less the same problem. He answered on one of my e-mails but in the end nothing happens. I am still waiting…and I was the first one who made a preorder!  :'(

Same here. I just fired off another email that got an immediate response though. I pointed him toward this thread so hopefully he'll chime in soonish.

Hi Guys,

My sincerest apologies to anyone who's been trying to reach me. Not sure the problem but I got Aarons email and came here straight away.

Heldrak, what is your real name so that I can look for your order? I do have a list of people who ordered Mohicans Characters but I didn't get enough of them. I have 200 packs coming on Monday (technically Friday, but I'll be in Vegas visiting the in-laws and playing games 'til Monday)

Frank, I'm going to send you a new order on Monday when I get back. According to tracking (the label number is LC497663068US on the United States Postal Service track and confirm website), your order was received at the post office on April 21, but there is no further information. I called the post office and they can't find the package or any other info.

Anyone else who has had a problem list your full name here and the date you ordered, so that I may find it sooner. My email is spotty at best so I will follow this thread as much as possible.

I'm sorry for any frustration I may have caused.

Cheers
-Eric

I finally received my Last of the Mohicans set today, but there were several other errors in my order (figures missing, wrong figures sent). PM sent, please respond ASAP.

I replied to Heldrak with the following message. I'm posting here so that everyone else has a small understanding of my thought process as well. Don't delve too deep into my thought process, therein lies madness, ADHD, OCD and painting procrastination extraodinaire o_o

Hi Michael,

Again, my sincerest apologies for the delays and errors. I will send out the rest of your order Saturday morning.

I'll give you a summary of what has happened so that you might understand my situation regarding your order.

When someone places an order, I fill it as completely as possible and send it off. I then write on the printed invoice what I still need to send or refund if I believe a restock on missing items will take too long. (I then place this invoice onto a clip board for incomplete orders, which I keep for my records and filling for later).

When I receive a date from my mold maker on a restock or new release, i post it, though it usually takes me a few days to actually sort through the thousands of castings etc and then I send them off. This I originally did on my site and then again in the message to you and any others who might have been waiting for an order.

When I received my restock on LotM's, I grabbed your invoice, and according to the notes I had written on it, I still needed to send you the Last of the Mohicans pack. This led me to believe that I had already sent you the first part of your order, as that is the routine that I always follow (send what is in stock, then send back-orders when I can). So, I sent you the Last of the Mohicans pack and I also threw in the SEM-02 Christmas miniature just as a bonus, as I do this with all back orders or even normal orders as I have tons of these Xmas miniatures. So, according to my notes, I believed that I sent you the first part of the order and only owed you the Mohicans pack.

When I received this PM, I went immediately to the USPS website to check my past shipments as I believed I had sent the first part of the order and of course you were not there. 

Obviously, I was wrong on this and apparently left myself the wrong notes on your invoice.

There's not much else I can say. I understand your frustration having to wait, and I can only imagine the frustration upon opening an incomplete order after having to wait. Believe me, the stomach sank when I realized it and uttered to myself something like "I can't be that dense can I?" I think it's just one of those thing that when it goes wrong, it goes WAY wrong. My sincerest apologies again, I don't know what else I can say.

The rest of your order is packed and will go out first thing Saturday morning.
