People who are into Frostgrave might like them for the Barbarians.

That had not occurred to me, but, yeah, that's a good thought.  They do make for good skirmish terrain.

What the heck! I'll go in for a set too thanks.
I'm not a mercenary. Killing's more of a hobby for me.

Excellent - we're getting real close to the numbers I need to do a restock.

Yeah.  Sadly, as I'm in central Alaska, P&P to Europe is not cheap.  In the past it's been around $15 for one set, and I doubt prices have gone down since then. 

But, I'll take a set to the Post Office and check this week so I can get an exact number to you.
Please, do it.

OK, so regarding international postage costs.

The news is not great. 

I took the one set I've got (my painted display set) down to the Post Office today.

Shipping one set to the UK, Europe, or Australia will cost $22.50.

I suspect that'll be prohibitively expensive for most non-US buyers.

In slightly better news, shipping TWO sets costs exactly the same - $22.50.  The weight stays under the threshold that would bump it up to the next bracket.  So if you order two sets, the shipping is slightly less awful. 

For the US, I can fit them in a priority mail box for $7.

Did you consider a mini Kickstarter campaign? You have the product, painted examples, alone the casting needs to be payed for, so backers cannot lose anything, really. Here it would really be a pre-order system and you could see how the Kickstarter crowd reacts.

No stretch goals, no fancy tiers. Just the tents and maybe a slight discount when you take several sets.

KS takes 10%, right? Keep doing it this way. Maybe these could also be available for add-on to your next KS.

Yeah, KS takes about 10%.

It just doesn't seem ideal for KS unless I've got new stuff to go along with it.

But having them as an add-on for my next KS campaign isn't a bad idea.  And I *do* have another KS planned.  Maybe I could do my ape-man tribe along with these tents.

Okay, well, if anyone wants to share the shipping costs on two sets to the UK, I'm happy to do so (I'll order two sets, and forward one on within the UK once delivered to me - should only cost two or three quid plus $11 each. Better than $22 each!

Captain Blood - I would be interested in this. I'm in London, so the additional postage shouldn't be too bad.

Okay, thanks Matakakea. You're on :)
Assuming Alex goes ahead, I'll order and pay for two sets including postage from Alaska, then rebill you (via PayPal?) for half the total - plus half the postage to get one set from me to you :)
PM me your address to confirm once we know Alex is going to go ahead and cast another batch, okay? Thanks again.

I should have an answer for that in under a week, I think.

I'll also mention that if anyone overseas wants to order more than two sets, I won't charge more than $22.50 for shipping.  If you order two sets or ten, I'll pick up the difference in cost above and beyond $22.50.
