I am considering attending the Cincycon convention on March 5.  Could I pick my 8 deer up from you there?
$1.75 each is fine. Thanks for organizing this livestock hunt.

Absolutely! I hope you make it. That is actually where I am getting them from Jim Fox of Iron Wind Metals. So, we can simply snag them together. I plan on arriving Friday late afternoon, early evening, and staying Friday night and all day Saturday. So, we can certainly arrange to meet sometime around then. I am running some Song of Drums and Tomahawks on Friday night and Saturday morning.

Oh, and Sterling Moose: Your plan sounds great. I replied to your PM (finally)...

Thanks, everyone!

Mike, did you manage to pick up the deer?

[mikedemana]

Yes, I did! I apologize for taking so long to reply. This is easily the most hectic month of my school year!

I have the deer and they cost $1.75 each. I will mail the ones slated to go across the pond to Pete (Sterling Moose) in Canada so that he can hand-deliver them to one or more of you at Salute. I hope to get to boxed up and a price for postage to Canada, soon. Once I know that, I can divide that cost up amongst the individual deer and come up with a price per fig, if that sounds sensible. The purchasers can simply send that amount via paypal. Any suggestions to this plan? I haven't done this type of thing much, so I'm just guessing as to the best procedure.

Pete, I will need your address, if you'd like to PM it to me. I do thank you so much for the offer to transport these.

Curt, I will also box up yours and give you the postage price to Illinois.

Thanks, everyone, for having patience with me. When I came back from Cincycon, I was inundated with stuff and it just hasn't let up, it seems.

Thanks for doing it.

All, I can leave the deer with Malamute or perhaps jimbibbly at Salute.  Can you pick your metal mammals up from them on the day?

Was reminded of this topic when I stumbled on these Ral Partha beauties whilst searching through the lead/pewter pile yesterday looking for something quite different:



Forgotten I had these...picked 'em up at Origins last June from a vendor that had enormous piles of loose minis. Don't remember how much he charged....it might have been by weight, and it wasn't much!

Good luck with your white-tails, chaps: don't forget to trim the ears and un-flatten the antlers. Or not!

Hi everyone,

The deer were mailed the day before yesterday, but I am just now getting around to doing the number crunching. I used the cheapest shipping method to Ontario, Canada, from Columbus, Ohio, for the six deer ordered by the UK contingent -- 2 each going to Malamute, Flags of War, and Hu Rhu. They are going to Sterling Moose, who will be attending Salute and hand-deliver them.

Once again, the price that Iron Wind Metals charged us was $1.75 per deer. Divide the $9.50 shipping among the six deer (I know...I was shocked that was the cheapest way to ship them) and you get $1.58 in shipping each, which means each deer ended up costing you guys $3.33. I'm sorry if this was more than you were expecting. If each of you would like to paypal me that amount to: mikedemana@earthlink.net, that would work. Don't worry about any international conversion fee -- you guys are taking it on the chin enough with shipping.

Curt and Randy, I will PM you with your totals as your U.S. shipping was less, of course.

Hope everyone is satisfied with this.

Barring any postal or customs issues I will distribute the deer at the LAF Meet & Greet which I believe is scheduled for 1.30 at jimbibbly's stand at Salute.  I know Mr Malamute but not Hu Rhu or Flags of War so if you could wear appropriate horned headgear ala Hern the Hunter I'll know who to give them to.

I'll be shackled to the Oshiro demo game of Dorset Smugglers all day so come and see me there. I am not sure if Flags of War or Hu Rhu are coming to Salute, so you can leave theirs with me or James.

[Malamute]

Will Paypal you the funds shortly Mike. Thanks for organising this.

[flags_of_war]

Nick,
As you know I won't be going to Salute, so thanks for offering to collect them for me. I am sure I can collect them off you sometime soon.

Mike,
Thanks for organising this.  I will get you the funds via paypal straight away.
