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?

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.

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!  :D

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. :)

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.
