Maniacal_cackle Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Anyone heard about the Black Friday sale yet? Normally it would have been announced by now, but I guess they're probably waiting until Explorer's Society releases so they can offer preorders on those models?

Cranky Old Man Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I was just discussing this with a mate. I’m hoping to pick up Lord Cooper and any of his keyword, I assume he will be available in the sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can never tell if there was a year where all the special sale emails came out 2ish weeks out or if I'm always a bit impatient but man seems like it's never here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad to participate in the great cycle. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either they reveals the last two ones wednesday (or before)... or surprise with the book. ^^ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Well, I'm hoping for something, anything, TOS related. Maybe Samantha Thrace - I could really do with one of her... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maogrim Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Does anyone know if the 1988 Metal Golem comes on its own, or whether there'll be Cyberpunk Gamin as well? That'd be so rad.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a post from 2019 that lists all the items that available for 2019 Black Friday. Was hoping similar information would be available this time. Malifaux products are scarce where I live and I was hoping they would produce a list and I can start budgeting. What are the Waldo miniatures used for? Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it'd have been nice to have the full list sooner. My partner and I want to buy presents for Christmas but we have to wait for the Wyrd sale 😜 But we will find out next week I suppose!

Malifaux products are scarce where I live and I was hoping they would produce a list and I can start budgeting. What are the Waldo miniatures used for? Thanks in advance. I would image that we will get a list of the items soon. One thing worth noting is that the Wyrd sale does NOT discount items, it sells items that are only available at limited times. The 2019 price list is probably going to be pretty much the same as this one, with the 1988 bubblegum set and golem, Pixies fart extras, and Candy and Kade miniatures added. (Some things may have also sold out now, I don't know). Last years Waldo miniature was used as a scenery piece/objective in the special holiday scenarios provided with them. I would imagine similar this time (I can't remember for certain, but I think the scenarios were released separately.) So there is no "game benefit" to having them, but they are fun sculpts.

sbxsat Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I just tested the checkout for some items: Pandora core box, Dreamer core box, Imsomnia, Neverborn Fate Deck and faction book. Shipping costs 52 USD to South East Asia! Do the shipping count towards the final total for claiming the mini during Black Friday i wonder? And do fewer items cost less to ship? If so, can Wyrd games remove all the packaging and place everything in a tiny box /sweat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would totally buy bulk boxes where they get rid of all that extra air and pack a few boxes into one smaller box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping is a mixture of size and weight, and are prices that are outside of Wyrds control.

Well, not entirely. Since shipping costs are a function of size and weight, and Wyrd has quite a bit of control over size. There's a lot of wasted space in a lot of boxes - when I buy stuff from friends, often 2-3 boxes are fitted into a single box. So there's probably scope for a cheaper option for shipping. It probably just isn't worth the effort for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably just isn't worth the effort for them. I assume there is standard sizes for the US postage, (there is for UK) and that the shipping boxes wyrd use are based on those, so the wasted space isn't generally paid for. Unless you're talking about removing the product boxes and just sending the sprues, which could be shipped smaller, but is probably a lot of effort to do.

Yes, it was (I ordered a set last year from Black Friday). But that doesn't guarantee they'll have enough boxes left to offer it again this year.
