I want to give my blog readers a heads up on some changes that we are making on the business side of things over at Fife & Drum and Minden Miniatures. These include a change in the way that we will package our AWI figures as well as an expected price increase across both figure ranges.
Also, in case you missed previous announcements on the new additions to the AWI range, I am reposting them today for your information.
PACKAGING CHANGE FOR AMERICAN REVOLUTION FIGURES, EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2018
Please note that as of May 1, 2018 the figures from the Fife & Drum American Revolution (or AWI) will no longer be sold as single figures. Going forward, the figures will be bagged in product codes of 4 to 8 figures for infantry and foot figures, which is the same packaging that is already in use for the AWI Hessians and all of the Minden SYW figure ranges. Some of the AWI cavalry figures will continue to be sold as single figures as will the personality figures.
PRICE INCREASE EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2018
There will also be a moderate increase in prices for the Fife & Drum/Minden figures going into effect on May 1, 2018. We have not increased our prices since 2012, but regretably we need to catch up with the increased cost of operating our business since that time.
Infantry figure packs will increase from $16.00 to $17.00 for a pack of 8 figures. Commensurate price changes will be made to the packs with smaller numbers of figures.
Cavalry figures will not change in price, thus remaining at $6.00 per horse & rider set or $12.00 in packs of two figures and $18.00 in packs of three figures.
Artillery equipment and wagon prices will not be increased.
Any orders received before then will be priced under the old packaging and price list.

This is fair enough, Jim, and quite a reasonable increase. I am delighted with the mounted militia regiment figures. I can see them creating some merry mischief on the tabletop. Cheers, Rohan.
