Does anyone know how their figures scale with Perrys, etc? (Obviously not these samurai, but other ranges they produce?)

We are taking pre-orders for the game now, but holding your details, we won't take any money until the release date.

http://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=5298

I know we are a little more expensive than a certain online retailer, but I would ask you to place your orders with us.

Why? It's cheaper elsewhere, we all want the best deal, I buy from that retailer myself when perhaps I should travel into town to support the bookshops and music stores.

The reason I ask is because when you buy from 'them', the money leaves the hobby. It goes into the pockets of shareholders. When you buy from North Star, sure some of the money goes in my pocket, but a bit goes in Mr. Salehs so he can keep sculpting, into Mr Dallimores so he can keep painting etc etc. I know I'm asking people to be a bit altruistic by spending £3 more on a book than they have to, but it does have consequences.

And, Osprey themselves make more money on a sale to me rather than 'them', so again it's money that goes into future rule set.

Sermon over.  lol

Another good looking ruleset from Osprey.  ;D

I like the look of these and have a load of Black hat Samurai sat in the loft just waiting for an excuse to see a paintbrush.

I see you're doing free UK shipping too Nick, another reason to order from your good self.

Good enough reasons for me. "Them" get too much off my money anyway. I shall order from you nearer the time.

Crikey, I pay tax and then some.  :'( :-[

Hey, it wasn't a dig to remove the link, it is just something on my mind these days. It has been expressed before by companies selling rulebooks, I think when Field of Glory first came out.
