I originally read the first paragraph as "a few sadistic questions". Must get the reading-glasses changed.  :-B

1 What was the smallest single order ( Packs or figures)  you recieved?

It'll have been a single pack of WWII stuff, so £1.35 (plus postage).  There may even have been a single pack of bases ordered, at £1.10.

2 What was the largest single order   ( Packs or figures) you recieved (excluding trade)?

Not sure, I'd have to check up on this one.  We get larger £200-£300 size orders every now and then, but there are occasionally bigger orders, sometimes getting close to the £1000 mark.  They tend to be guys ordering for their clubs though.

3 What was the most fiddly/awkward order? (possibly one of mine :-[)

Not sure, it tends to be the guys who want 1 or 2 figures from about 50 codes, so you're spinning moulds for hours just to get £10 worth of goods.  They are rare though, so it's not too much hassle.

4 What was the strangest order?

Depends what you class as strange?!

5 How many orders did the most prolific customer make

There are several customers who place orders regularly, either monthly or somewhere thereabouts, including Mr FSN of course!

6 Which forum Member Pestered you the most ?  - Please don't all shout at once

No one really, it's never pestering as such, just friendly reminding...  :-\

7 What was the most stupid question you got asked about Pendraken or its products?

No idea on this one!  There's a few odd questions which we get every now and then, but it tends to be at the shows where you're more face to face with people.  One guy this year asked me which Vallejo colour he needed for horses...?  "Pick a brown Sir, any brown...!"

Yes, he did... at Salute.

I've got the exact number on my laptop at home, but it's getting on for 200 new codes this year.  I'm going to put up a full list of each years releases, for anyone who might have missed a batch.

That sounds like a challenge to me!
