Frequently Asked Questions

.Why are prices here significantly lower than on Ebay?
.
Fees, Ebay fees and more fees!. By dealing direct, I don’t have the Ebay fees. Those savings are sent to you! The rules of selling on Ebay are applied here.
.
.Why are your prices in USD when you are from Australia?
.
Simply, two things. The majority of costs in molds, metals for castings, paints and just about everything I use is sourced in USD dollars. Therefore all costings are covered in the same currency.
.
Second, the majority of my clients are from the USA. To assist them in knowing exactly what their costs are, and not to expose them to currency exchange risks, I bill in USD.
.
I see your painted models for sale and I want more but you don’t have them available in the store, what can I do?
.
Easy, book a commission project. Say for example there is a few Wolf Clan mechs you want. You grab what you want and commission the remaining. When that commission is completed, freight tallied and all shipped together. You can have your purchase sent immediately if you want and then the commissioned models, but then freight is applied twice.
.
I see Mechs and other stuff that’s not available anywhere else. Why is that?
.
I have full creation, moulding and casting abilities. Full production resources. All parts, variants and the like are created in house and offered out. They are not sold in raw metal form. Want a Heavy PPC Marauder, get it here. It must be a painted model however, those parts are not sold individually.
.
I see a section called Reproductions, what’s that?
.
Those are remoulded Unseen models that you can buy. They are models from the past that have long since discontinued due to legal issues and the like. They are reproduced here in certain very limited numbers and are heavily marked to allow persons to know they are reproductions and NOT originals.
.
If you want originals source them at their market price, but if you want an Unseen for yourself, source here at a fraction of the price. Also offer parts on those models, such as arms and legs etc etc, and weapons packs where they’re sold in a bundle. Be advised, I may pull that section at anytime.
.
Your website says 5 available but i want 10. What happens next?
.
If it is 10 you want, it's 10 you shall have!. Remember, I have full casting capabilities and can spin to order. No order goes unfilled.
.
Where do you ship to and where from?
.
I live in Sydney Australia. It is Australia’s largest city on the East coast. Sydney has a large international airport with routes going direct or connecting. All major Airlines fly here as well as Couriers. I ship to anywhere in the world including US military.
.
Why is the shipping prices much lower than Ebay?
.
I have a deal with the freight carriers. I usually set that price as they are prepared to ship anywhere for that price. That price gets you 499 grams of freight. The next bracket is 500-999, and so on. Due to you, the customers, I have been able to bargain even harder and get prices even lower. The more the customers transact the lower i can push the freight down.
Local Australian buyers pay the local domestic price converted into USD.
.
Who are the AFG you mention, what do they do?
.
They’re like you, fanatical fans! Obsessive actually!!. They finance special projects where they create an entire miniature, variant parts and a very wide variety of things. They in the past provided IWM with full sculpts. You probably own a few of them. These days however they stay private and keep 99 percent in house. If you commission paint works from me, you can access what they have
.
Can I team with the AFG to have something created?
.
In short, yes!. Its all about teamwork and if the item has backers the price comes down to get it created. Anything you’re involved in, you get access for life at cost price. They also get access as they team up with you. I also get access for painted commissions and painted Mechs only, effectively limited supply and making things unique. Quotes are given before you decide to be apart of a project.
.
How long have you been involved in the Battletech game?
.
Since the 80’s when I was a teenager. Yep, that shows how old I am, so basically 35 years as of this writing.
.
Do you have a pet Kangaroo? or Crocodile?
.
No to the Roo, but i have a pet Croc in the swimming pool in the backyard :-)
