Together with some friends involved in naval wargaming, I'm putting an order together, so far up to 19 packs. I realize inflation has hit hard, and prices have to go up, but when some new releases are wildly out of line with previous pricing, it is a real disincentive. I refer particularly to the two recent UK pre-dreadnought releases. They are priced the same as large WW2 BB like the Littorio or Bismarck, and way above the previous UK pre-dreadnought from several years back. I would suggest some consideration be given to finding intermediate pricing levels that balance the cost of creating a new model with the reduced production cost from a much smaller model.

What are the reduced prodution costs of producing a pre-Dreadnaught? A pre-Dreadnaught is usually about the same number of parts as another battleship...sometimes more. Some of the biggest expenses of putting out a new release are paying for the design to be made by hand, making the hand molds, cleaning each individual master casting under a microscope by hand, making production molds, gating and venting the production molds by hand (some of these molds require several hundred vents), producing the castings by hand, doing the quality control of each piece with human eyes...

We are a small company that has always produced our products in the USA. Everything is done by human hands. We don't have machines that are set to run, and are just popping castings out. They are all poured by hand, pulled out of the molds by hand, picked off of the sprues by hand, checked for quality control by hand with human eyes... Some companies have chosen to farm out their production to Third World nations- we haven't done that. Please ask any of the many customers who have stopped in for a tour over the years, or better yet, please feel free to stop by yourself, we always welcome the oppotunity to meet our customers, and show them the entire process from beginning to end.

We always want everyone to fully understand the amount of craftsmanship, and detail that go into each model that we sell.

Thank you for your support,

Yep - lots of manual labor goes into the whole process...

Pre-dreadnoughts would use less pewter, would be a bit smaller but, would still take about the same time and labor to design, master and produce.

GHQ,
I have been a continues supporter of your company and your products, since I discovered you in the late 80s and early 90s. Sure I have taken breaks along the way, as life got in the way. I have never bought any other brand of miniature in this scale. I have been gifted some and played with others, but I have always found that your product is a higher quality than anyone else. Each piece has unparalleled detail and it shows when you can see the difference, no matter how small, between one version of a specific unit and another. What is even more impressive is how much better the quality seems to get with every new release you create.. Just when I don't think a piece can not look any better, you some how make it happen.

I would be lying if I did not admit that the price gets me every once in a while. When this happens, I just stop and look at one of my favorite pieces and the detailed makes me realize what I am paying for. Often, when I show my work to others who are not in the hobby, the first thing people notice is the level of detail. You can instantly see the look in there face and eyes on how impressed they are with the quality.. In addition to the detail, your customer service is second to none.

Indeed you are a small company with high overhead cost. When a prices go up, I always feel you reluctantly do so and try to hold out as long as you can before doing so. Your customer service is second to none and you have always stood behind your proeduct and the high quality that has become a standard. Any time a piece has come to me and issues were found, you have always made things right and in the quickest way possible.

In closing, the increases in price may sometimes cause me to slow down in how often or how much I buy. However, one thing is certain, I will never stop buying exclusively from GHQ and my only regret is that my wallet is not big enough and I will not live long enough to collect every piece you are and will make in the future.

I'll still buy GHQ models as long as the Sentry Box in Calgray still carries them.

Sounds good! If you, and your firends, keep buying them, they will keep ordering from us! Please spread the word, and let everyone know who may be interested that the Sentry Box has GHQ.

Thank you,

I'll defentely do that hopfully the next time i make a store run. honestly makes me wish the GHQ minis are aviable in Grande Prairie, as historical wargames are making a comeback in town, but sadly our local game shop is unable to find any historical models. which sucks.

Thanks again for thinking of us! This message goes out to anyone who would like to see GHQ at a store near you. We often times receive calls, and emails from people who want to see our miniatures in their local game stores, and want us to make it happen. We wish that it was that easy, and we could get GHQ miniatures into any store that we want. Unfortunately, that's not how things typically work. As a manufacturer, contacting a store, telling them how great our stuff is, and then trying to get an order, doesn't usually work out. The best way to get GHQ miniatures into your local store is for you, the customer, to contact the store manager/owner, show them our miniatures, and tell them that you would like to have a place to buy them locally...and have your firends do the same thing. By far the most impactful way to get any product into a store is to have ready, and eager customers tell the store what they would like to spend their money on.

We aren't trying to pass the buck on this, we are just trying to tell you what our experience has been for almost 60 years in the business.

Thank you for your support,
GHQ

A handy sale! Finished up the British brigade's artillery regiment - two more 8-piece batteries of AS90s (of course, the Brits just sent all their AS90s to Ukraine in anticipation of taking delivery of the new Boxer-based 155SP) and some secondary vehicles, plus the first of 2 8-piece batteries of Panzerhaubitzen for the German brigade, plus its command vehicles.

I'm happy ordering direct. Shopping is difficult these days and it cuts down on uncontrolled impulse buys. These days, I like the self-imposed careful consideration of what the most immediate needs are. Artillery certainly comes to the fore, with requirements for 4 M109 SP battalions of various models and likely two more HIMARS battalions. Maybe another MLRS battalion down the road.

Still have to finish the first Stryker bn and get the second built. Then it's engineers, FAASVs, and trucks.

It would be nice to see the Boxer 155SP come out this year, along with the command version, and the US Marine wheeled amphibious APC.
