I have received my order and got it reasonably quick after my order.
As you can read in my post earlier in this same topic something went wrong with the pricing on the website and conversion rate. I ended up paying more then I thought I was. I was a little disappointing that there wasn't a little note in my package or anything else to say they were sorry for the error on their behalf. Now I order a lot from Warlord games and when there is the slightest of error or misunderstanding they really go out of their way to correct it. they send you a free model, replace missing parts or add in a little hand written note with a kind and cheerful message. (I have a few already
). I don't even have to contact warlord myself, when I post something on facebook or another forum they will contact me to rectify the problem. now that's great customer service and they are well known for it and that's where Spectre has a lot to learn. I simply got the reply that there must be something wrong with the website and they will raise the issue with their webdesigner. Great that I could be of service to point this error out to them but that didn't help me much. Now it was only a small order so I didn't expect much more then a little note.
Shipping was quick and the packaging is superior, they are one of the few companies I know that sell their individual models in their own clampack with foam. Although I think I would rather pay less and get the mini's in a 2cents zip back with some bubble wrap like most other companies do.
The miniatures are one of the more expensive ones on the market. They are nice sculpted models and a really original design. Great, that's why I bought these models specifically.
On the leaflet enclosed in the clam pack they claim to be superior models and bla bla bla....
In short, I was a disappointed with the models. The model itself looks great and just like the do on the website. However... Some models have a gaping hole where they have been broken of the mold. You can see the mold lines and in the same place on different models they have a rough hole. But then my biggest gripe.... the guns!! they look really silly. In all the pictures posted on their site I never noticed this but they are really really small and thin. in fact they are so thin that even though they have been superior packed they are completely warped and bend. If I compare them to my empress and eureka models the spectre guns look as if they are holding toy guns. I will replace the guns when I can find some loose AK47's.
I'm really looking forward to their rules but I'm unsure if I will ever order any more models from them.
This is just written up quickly by me, A more in depth review will be posted on my blog soon including pictures and examples.
