It seems a relatively small price to pay for the flexibility we get from being able to pick-and-choose whatever extra figures we need.  I make great use of this facility so that my units get to look just how I want them to look.

It's also invaluable to be able to pick up a few extra figures to round off units; with the units I'm painting at present, the standard packs include command figures, three packs will give me enough rank-and-file for four units so it's great to be able to purchase the additional command figures needed for the fourth unit.

As someone who has benefitted from the customised pack facility several times in the past I have absolutely no issue with having to pay more for the continuation of that arrangement. I am sure my requests have on occasion been more trouble to Pendraken than they are really worth and if a price adjustment benefits the company then all,power to their elbow. 👍😊

IMHO, those prices are very reasonable. Some companies i am aware off charge x 2 for a particular figure in a set.

Having just put in a small order with another 10mm producer (I know, sacrilege!) I am again impressed with the quality and price of the Pendraken range.

The figures from the other manufacturer are 20% more than Pendraken, and the quality is much lower. Whilst I'm not that keen to see a price rise on Pendraken figures, I am really really not keen to see Pendraken squeezed by rising costs. From a quick bit of checking just now, I do think Pendraken is at the cheaper end of the main 10mm metal producers.

I'm keeping an eye on it and we'll see how we go for the next few months.  We get a fixed rate on our metal price for 3 month periods so we're OK until the end of October on the current contract.  We'll see how much it's jumped by for the November delivery and see if we need to make any changes at that point.

Just looking at the discussion above, the metal prices continued to rise through until about April-ish and then they levelled out a bit. The last batch was a touch lower than previously so hopefully things continue in that direction.

Charge what you need to make a fair living and pay a fair wage to your workers.  I suspect that most of the Forum receive a fair wage for what they do.

As long as you're making a fair return on your investment ... and continue to make an amazing product, not an issue for me. Take care. ;)
