April 3rd Updates
Hello everyone! Spring has arrived, and we are preparing for this weekend's toy soldier show in Burlington, MA. Thursday is one of our busiest days, as dozens of gamers begin arriving around 4 PM to socialize, roll dice, and play Magic: The Gathering. Below, we have included the April game calendar. I had a fantastic time at the Wings and Wheels model show in Chicopee on Sunday. It was very well attended—primarily by older enthusiasts—but the modeling hobby is alive and well!
A wide selection of new toy soldiers has just been added to the website (see below), and we have also received the new War Park Afrika Corps figures. Additionally, I have included a toy soldier collection on our website and added more model kits from that collection to the shop. Furthermore, we have upgraded our Sci-Fi model section with some premium X-Plus monster kits.
We received several game restocks this week, and the new Magic: The Gathering card set, Tarkir Dragonstorm, will go on sale tomorrow. On Sunday, join us for a painting session with Albert. We invite everyone to come down and paint anything—gaming miniatures, model kits, or whatever you have. Don’t know how to paint? We can help! We also have some pre-primed miniatures available for free.
TARIFFS! Well, folks, we have been holding off on raising prices for as long as possible. However, we will be increasing our shipping prices next week. Some brands, such as King and Country, John Jenkins, Team Miniatures, and others, will likely experience price increases or surcharges shortly. This will apply to older items and restocks. We have seen increases from 10% to 20%, and now possibly up to 54% on products from China. Additionally, we are now observing 10% increases on items from the UK and other countries from which we buy from. Buy now before prices get INCREASED!
Our Free Shipping threshold is going up next week. $129.99 will be the new FREE SHIP "magic number" on most items shipments. Many Tanks, Airplanes, Diorama Accessories and large items will still have an "oversize" or shipping surcharge on them. We also ship mostly UPS Ground Savor and USPS Ground Advantage. These typically take 1-6 Days. The good old days with Priority Mail and quick UPS Ground are to costly for us to sustain. You can upgrade to these services if you choose so.
