English archer prices - confused!

[Rab]

Hi eBob,

My resistance to purchasing is dropping rapidly (nice miniatures), but I'm confused by the pricing of the English archer packs. If I buy a four pack it is £5, or £1.25 per miniature, but if I buy a 9 pack it is £12, or £1.33 per miniature. Are there different sculpts in the multi-pack that aren't available in the smaller set? Or should I just keep quiet and buy the smaller packs several times over?

TTFN,
Rab

theres a big diffrence in the in the sculpts
that the 9 pack is far better

[eBob]

I can see how you could think that.

The pack of 9 has more poses. The pack four has only 2. I'm not really casting the old packs of 4 any more - but I have a couple still in stock, when they're gone the four pack option will be removed.

Cheers Ebob, I figured it would be something like that. As I value variety it looks like the 9-pack is the way to go.

[eBob]

The new mould replaces the old one. It has more poses - but that's not the reason for increased cost - the price of metal has gone up since the old ones were cast.

The slight increase between the two packs wouldn't have stopped me, but thank you for the additional clarification. Aside from the quality of the figures, this is why I love dealing with small companies - the personal touch. 'By gamers, for gamers' and all that. Cheers, Ebob.
