Xyston Figures Suitable for Burning Sands Adventures now in stock:
https://cromsanvil.co.uk/characters.html
My casters just announced they are not casting for potentially 2 or more weeks, as such there may be a 3 week delay on shipping any metal orders.
There may be enough stock to last me, or there may not, depends on what orders come in.
Many apologies.
Potential magazine delay.
Due to some events outside my control, I am struggling with creating.
This means that there may be a delay with issue two of the magazine.I am hoping not, as next week is half term and hopefully I will be in a better place to be creative/productive.
I will keep you posted and sorry if there is a slight delay.
The last year has seen a steady decline in sales of the resin items.
In the last few months the cost of shipping to the USA has increased by such a factor that almost all sales to the USA have stopped.
The majority of resin sales come from the USA.This has had a massive impact on the business.
I have been deciding what to do about the resin side of the business for a while, the moulds take up a lot of space as does the vacuum chamber and resin bottles etc.
So it is with some regret that the resin range is no longer available.
I have removed them from the shop area of the site.The pages are still online with buttons, but are hidden.
IF you do stumble across the resin pages, please be aware that no sales of resin items will be honoured and a full refund will be made.For now the figures are still very much available and can be found in their usual home.
If it’s not too forward to ask, do you think you’ll still be expanding the range of figures?
That is the plan, though my primary sculptor has quit sculpting which is a bit of a bind.
Could you subcontract the resin casting to anyone?
Not sure I see how that would make it cheaper to ship?
AB I’ve always to dive into the Conan universe. I bought some 15mm Hittites long ago with that in mind, to serve as city forces somewhere in the South or East. Perhaps now it’s time to give it a whirl.
Praise be to Apis!
This is the first print of the revised wares pack.
33 items that will be printed on demand and added to the site next month as a pack.The next pack will be crates and chests.
The figures are mostly not too bad, especially if I can get them in a padded envelope.
Just yesterday I posted some figures to the US for £5.00But buildings were just bonkers, at least £20.00 and that could be for a £5.00 building.
£40 or £50 was not uncommon on orders of £100 or so.So postage to the US had seen my US sales drop by about 70% and now the EU Tax means my sales of everything there will cost customers more, so EU sales are dropping off.
Last month Crom’s Anvil took £134.00 in sales, and of course that is not £134.00 in profit. I probably pocketed about £80 of that.
Not looking great to be honest.
This would be the right time for shutupandtakemymoney.gif
It’s shoddy news about the shipping, but some pretty exciting stuff looks to be coming out of the situation
Shipping and now tax to EU customers is a PITA, but hopefully these new products with more to follow will help.
Lighter too, which will help shipping.
Available to buy in a few days…

Being resin rather than metal, postage outside of the UK should be pretty ok too.

You’ve got my brain working now …

So.
Changes…
The way my figure are cast are in packs.
So a mould with the tribal warriors yields 2 packs each time it is spun.
Great for selling packs.
However, when selling singles you hit problems.
I had a situation once where someone ordered 50 tribal archers.
Which meant spinning the mould 25 times, this then left 50 spare axe1, 50 spare axe2 and 50 spare spears.
I have still not recovered from this overstock.
Same with all the packs to some degree.
I am sitting on dead stock.So, I have removed a good number of the singles and am now offering just packs of the tribal, watch and mercs.
This should help me have less dead stock and more money to put into new models.
So that is good for me long term.
These extras are for sale on the FB group.
It is a PITA to do multiple listings on multiple sites as people can make offer on one site on something that was sold on the other.
Much easier to keep it in one place, so feel free to check out the FB group for this one time offer.
