13th Dec 2024

Hello all, and welcome to the weekly update from you friendly local neighbourhood maker of little men.   There are some positive items this week, so keep reading to be better informed.   First in the queue is this week’s magic order number which stands at #30517.  We are making a concerted effort to shift as many orders as we can over the next few days ahead of the festive break.

Which brings us to the first of this week’s announcements.   In the spirit of the season, Lindy has decided to give more things away.   I really do need to have strong words with her about needless seasonal generosity.   Words like, ‘Bah!’ and ‘Humbug!’, will definitely be deployed.   Anyway, today twelve envelopes, one for each day of the Christmas, have been sent out to twelve of our customers who have bought something from us over the last twelve months.  Each contains a, (thankfully), small gift from Baccus.   To the winners, congratulations, and to everyone else commiserations, but thank you one and all for your orders.

All of which is a nice introduction to yet another of our monthly Golden Ticket winners.  This time, the lucky winner of £60 worth of Baccus goodies is one of our American customers, Chris Reynolds.  And here is what he has to say:

‘I love 6mm gaming with Baccus figures. Your ranges have made it possible to present mass battles that are affordable and visually stunning. From Napoleon engaging Wellington at Waterloo to the Zulu waves at Isandlwana we have enjoyed your figures greatly. My latest projects are the Great Northern War and a full scale battle of Helm's Deep game with your fantasy line.’

If you would like to be in the next monthly Golden Ticket draw, it really is simple.   Just make a purchase from Baccus for £60 and you are in.  Simple as that, and your chances of winning are much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much better than entering the National Lottery.   With us, it Really Could be You….

The next bit of good news is for all of our EU customers.   We are in the process of signing up with an agent in the EU to handle our official side of the new GPRS regulations.   We’ve still got a few hoops to jump through, but we hope to be able to return to accepting orders some time next week.   Watch out for the official announcement over the next few days.

And finally, really finally for today is to let you know that we have started a new official Facebook Page for Baccus.   The previous version was, for some unfathomable reason, taken out of my control by the Facebook Gnomes and they refused to let me have it back. Never mind, here we are with a brand new squeaky clean, shiny version, bursting with possibilities.  You can find it here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570089031444     Please feel free to visit and follow.

Phew!
