New M series Helm’s Deep 2- Death to the Strawheads. Lower Price €11.95
As you know we have been struggling with the pricing Structure of the M series. Because of the current sales it would only be viable to release this range if we could obtain 100 pre-orders . The price of the figures would be €22.50 if we were to get 100 pre-orders and would reduce on a sliding scale if the number exceeded 100 depending on the number of orders received. Sadly it does not seem that even this minimum number of 100 pre-orders will be achieved in the next few weeks.
We understand how frustrating this is to our loyal collectors but the reality is that if we release this range without reaching this number we would make a loss. If we could achieve a wider market for our products then not only would we be able to produce figures more regularly but at a lower price per unit.
In an effort to find a solution to this impasse we have reached an agreement with an online seller in the U.S. who wishes to carry the Mithril series and particularly the Ms range. Such a deal would benefit us financially to such an extent as to enable us to release Helm’s deep 2 at the lower price of €11.95 per figure.
Also we would also not have to wait for 100 pre-orders as we could then afford to wait longer for the sales to build up to an acceptable level. So this means that the price will come down to €10.75 if you are on standing order. And if you live outside the EU you can buy them tax free for €8.88. We will also extend this price offer to those who place their order before ?
There will also be a 3-pack with 3 unprimed figures for our diorama and war-game customers. The price of this will be €24.95 or 22.45 for pre-orders, or 18.55 for non eu.
The Ms figures have never previously been available to collectors outside the Fellowship. We realize that part of the attraction of the Ms range is its exclusivity and that Fellowship members might not like the loss of this exclusivity . However we have given very careful thought to this proposal and think that on balance this will prove an acceptable compromise for Fellowship members as it will allow us the flexibility to produce the m series immediately and at a lower price.
We have also built in some “safeguards” with regard to this new deal. The new Ms figures, once released will still be exclusively available to Fellowship members for six months and only after that will be available for general sale. Also the price will remain the same for Fellowship members who buy immediately and other buyers who purchase later. This will allow us to increase the discount for customers who buy by standing order.
