Hard to get is appealing

Baccus being in high demand and with the wait you have to endure before a purchase even ships is strangely appealing!   I have no idea why but I have ordered more recently and more often mainly because of the fact that my brain tells me its in demand so I cannot wait I have to purchase this now!   Much like the crazy run on toilet paper we had in our country during covid haha.     Humans are crazy!  or maybe its just me.   Is anybody else ordering more than they usually would because Baccus seems harder to get now?

I agree, Brad, i also order much more than I actually can paint. This may be because I am afraid that prices will increase with everything that's going on in Europe. Also i do not mind having a pile of "opportunity" lying around. ;)

Totally agree with you.  The way the world is I dont want it to come to a point where there is no longer access to miniatures.  Do I stock up on food or water....no, but miniatures thats a no brainer!

My latest order is in the post now! I was expecting it after Christmas, so I'd have painted some more of the lead hillock before they got here. But it is always a blessing to have yet more of the little guys to look accusingly at me from the painting table, so thanks Peter, and happy Christmas to you too!

I am in a fight to keep up at the moment.  I have painted an ACW booster, in process of painting one now and have another looking at me from the shelf.  Behind that is a ton of SYW Austrians and here I am on payday looking at the catalog seeing what I want to order for after christmas.  I think I have another order or 2 still on the way as well.  its more addictive than drugs!!!!   But hey at least its not 28mm in which case i would be broke and homeless from the expense!    You can get bags of figures from Peter for the cost of a nice dinner.  you can get several units for the price of a good cup of coffee!   I love 6mm :)   I feel all of your pain brothers and sisters!  But lets just enjoy being 6mm psychos and just live with it.

TBH  Brad, I'm holding off until the New Year to avoid the Christmas rush combined with the postal strikes in the UK. Those two factors could well result in lost packages, especially coming to me in the Netherlands.


A little goes a long way

Yes I thought about all of that and decided to hold off as well.   It will just be a bigger order once things calm down and the new year gets going.   I really need to finish this ACW project first anyway.  I cant have more than 2 projects goiong or I will go Mad.   Happy Holidays to everybody!
