It has some promise, but the pool building doesn't look like it has usable interiors and the office building only has a usable ground floor.

I like accessing building interiors.

Yeah, the bigger buildings get, the less you can really access the interior.  To me the pool building has tons of playable space, and I could get away with not having interior access.  The other office building - looks like it would be easy to make it accessible.  Who knows.

Shipping is expensive. It's actually $70 - $100 to ship it Australia (depending where you are) but we are absorbing some of (along with the other international shipping cost as well, ie Canada, UK/Europe) since we have done a good bit of international business and would like to continue doing so.

Yeah, the bigger buildings get, the less you can really access the interior.  To me the pool building has tons of playable space, and I could get away with not having interior access.  The other office building - looks like it would be easy to make it accessible.  Who knows.

The pool house was designed to give you multiple levels to play on and have the ability to "pass through" the actual building parts to get to the balconies and what not easily (no building section is more than 4" so you don't have to burn up all your movement points to get through it. Everyone who has played on it has really liked because it presents a lot more options for tactical movement than your typical piece of terrain.

If you wanted too, there is no reason that you couldn't make the other floors of the office building accessible by not gluing down the roofs. The piece will still be plenty stable.

Thanks for the feed back :D

I understand that international shipping is prohibitive, but it's always much more out of the USA than anywhere else.

For example, I love the pool house, but it's $60 + $35 shipping, so I end up paying over $100 (with conversion fees) for a single piece of terrain.

When I compare that to what I can get from Sarissa, C&C Workshop or BP Laser for the same money; it's never worth buying from an American company.

Yeah it's getting worse re shipping too. Anyway enough UK laser talent to avoid having to buy stuff generally from across the pond.  Warmill, AW, Fenris to name a few.

These pieces don't actually look very detailed either. Love the acrylic,  but them that's available here too with plenty of custom commission options too.

aye, I don't think it's worth the price, let alone shipping, nothing majorly wrong with it, just for me, for that cost it needs to have a bit more about it.

Those are beautiful.  Unfortunately the pledge ladder is a little crazy.  It's a big jump from $80 for one building to $325 for everything; and nothing in between. 
This is my boomstick!

I wonder if professionally painted work would increase your sales?
 They look cool anyway. My favourite is the bar.
