So cute.

As mentioned in our announcement back in August, we'll be having a price increase on January 1st 2024, so you've got a little over a week to get any orders in before the changes take effect.

We'd been waiting to hear more information on the minimum wage increases, as well getting an idea on interest rates ahead of our commercial mortgage renewal (both coming in April '24), so we can now confirm that prices will have to go up by 12.5% across all of our cast metal 10mm products. This will mean the following changes:

£6.00 > £6.75 - Standard 30-man / 15-cav packs
£2.00 > £2.25 - Standard 10-man packs
£2.95 > £3.20 - WWII 'regular' vehicles and artillery packs
£36.00 > £42.00 - Army packs

All other pack prices will change accordingly.

There will also be some other increases:

- Packs of MDF bases will go from £1.30 to £1.50 with Bulk packs going to £13 instead of £11.
- Decals will be increasing by 20p to £2.95 per pack.
- Some of our RedVectors MDF products will be increasing over the course of January.


We're always reluctant to increase our prices as nobody wants to pay more for their hobby, especially right now when so many people are struggling with their general day-to-day bills too. Sadly as we explained in the summer, the costs for businesses have just skyrocketed over the past couple of years and we have to make sure that we're able to cover all of these increases whilst continuing to invest in new products and ranges.

Have a great Christmas, Leon, and a most excellent 2024!

I second that. To Leon and his Little Pendraken Helpers, a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2024.

Cheers guys, really appreciated.

And while I'm here...

We've got a bit of an early Christmas present for all of the people who've been asking for these! The flagsheets for our new Russo-Japanese range are now available, with a single sheet for the Japanese and a trio for the Russians, including a cavalry sheet.

The amount of solid reference material for this period is thin on the ground so Tony of TinyTinTroops has spent a massive amount of time digging through both English and Russian sources to make sure that these are as accurate as possible. The end result is certainly worth it though as they look great.

Flags
Russo-Japanese - https://www.pendraken.co.uk/russo-japanese-flags
PNFL801    Japanese    £2.95
PNFL802    Russian, type 1    £2.95
PNFL803    Russian, type 2    £2.95
PNFL804    Russian Cavalry    £2.95


And some pics:

Not widely known, but the difference between Japanese Army and Navy ensigns is that for the former the red dot is in the centre, and for the latter it is offset towards the staff/pole.

Merry Xmas Leon, and all the best for 2024 - after the 2023 you've had, if anyone on here deserves a better year, it's you.

Thanks for that, it's certainly been an interesting one! Have a good Christmas yourself and we'll see you in the new year.

We've got a little (although bigger!) addition for everyone next, with a 28mm covered wagon now available, suitable for the mid-late 19th Century. This is actually from Dave's personal Schleswig-Holstein range but we thought it would fit nicely with some of the MDF ones that we produce under the RedVectors banner.
