Could we decide if we want them wooden and upright or leaning at a angle?

More zombie-fodder for Pappa Midnight methinks.

We have already decided we both thought they were at funny angles

I like them, not sure i like the price.

Colin the westwind models are excellent although there is a huge price difference

Westwind £5 for 4 models
Foundry £10 for 5 models

...hmm

Cheers

My foundry web site says £14 for 6 rugga ruggas or in fact any other pack. I think it's some weird setting though.. It can't be serious.

Heh!Heh!Heh!...............

They are some nice sculpts amongst them (and some which need very little conversion to Zeds). The price is pretty high BUT it's the postage fee for orders under £80.00 which always puts me off.......8 Quid, you're pulling my....

Yeah, it is ridiculous. I love the blurb about this issue on their FAQs:

Quote

Many companies in our industry treat postage as a variable cost item based upon order values and use a percentage value of the order as a basis for the postage charge; we feel that this is an unfair method of charging as there are many fixed as well as semivariable and variable costs in its calculation - the fixed costs include for example the costs of processing the order, invoicing the order, etc etc, the semi variable costs include for example the packaging and picking time etc etc, the variable costs for example relate to insurance, the postage and processing cost itself as well as other things.

To apply some formula for the recovery of these various types of costs would not only be difficult to apply but would also be so convoluted to explain that we feel that it could only lead to customer confusion.

We at Foundry feel that for clarity and understanding there is a need for the Postage charge to be as simple and as clear as possible and feel that, in view of the above, that a fixed cost recovery charge is the simplest method to apply to all orders.

Simple for who? Not my wallet, that's for damn sure...

They do have a 20% off at the moment and I've just got the collection along with a few other figures and some paints. Worked out quite cheap in the end, about £1.20something per figure (where's the embarrassed smiley when you need it

)

Some nice ones, but still the huge hands syndrome, I am afraid the ladies are very big... Anyway, not half as nice as the old (Copplestone's?) sculpts of the Far West civilians range.

What's the difference between a "variable" and a "semi-variable" cost? Is it like "unique" and "very unique"?

Sounds like bollocks, to me

Are they not capable of working out a simple percentage that will effectively cover their postage/packing etc costs, based on many years of mail-order trading? They have lost sooooooooo much trade from me over the years because of this nonsense.

The new figures are generally very nice though.

The figures look good IMHO, but when you buy them from EU, the price raises to 16 E. a pack, and that's £13.5. Not mentioning the huge shipping charges. (And no way to buy in pounds if you have them shipped outside UK).

That's a very big "ouch"!

achab · « **Reply #27 on:** February 05, 2011, 01:49:40 PM »

Things are almost as bad if you buy from US: thats $20,43 a pack, or more than £12.5. I'm wondering how they do calculate the exchange rate (non updated pre-crisis rates?).

Compared to most of Foundry's recent output, I rather like them

Lowtardog · « **Reply #29 on:** February 05, 2011, 03:04:37 PM »

To be honest I dont mind that price tag too much (would prefer them cheaper though so Dave T is the best bet in a couple of months) as they are character figures and many are following £2 a pop these days
