Firstly I am away Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week the 5th July to 7th July, this will add a few days to the processing times of all orders. On the subject of orders, we have experienced an increase in the number being received, this is a good thing for us but will mean that the turnaround times will slip a bit, we hope to have all orders out within 4 days of their receipt.
New Metal
We have been trying lead free pewter recently, some of you may have noticed some of the figures being a lighter colour and ringing when shaken, that would be the pewter. Why change, well we have been noticing an increase in the number of blow holes when using the old metal, we have managed to adjust things to prevent most but it is still an issue on the production side. The Pewter is more expensive but casts a lot cleaner. Once all the old stock figures and metal has been used we will be running 100% pewter, until then it will be a mix.
Cheers
Keith
