We are at about 95% of our goal in raising the money to finish the printing for Total War – we’ll probably reach 100% by end of week.<\/p>\n
US Post Office mailing prices went up on 27Jan13 and the Fire Sale List has been updated to reflect the new prices. In most cases in the USA this had little effect (changing a few things by up $1 or down $1), although a number of items got a lot more expensive to ship to Alaska or Hawaii. The main impact of postal increase was to massively increase shipping costs to many locations overseas. The priority mail international flat rate envelopes and boxes went up a lot. In a number of cases we have managed to find work arounds to reduce this impact (for example, folded maps now ship in padded envelopes, no-folds maps ship in a smaller less heavy tube, and a number of the smaller games have been repackaged so that they can go by less expensive first class mail international). And, in some cases, mostly to western Europe (excluding Great Britain), the cost to ship regular priority mail packages actually went down a bit.<\/p>\n
The updated fire sale list has items that are running out marked with #s remaining. In particular, there are only 8 copies of Balkan Front and 33 copies of Wavell’s War left – and we can make no more because that exhausted the countersheets in both games. We’ve also reduced the cost for First to Fight by $5 as we’ve found a way to reduce the color map costs for this game.<\/p>\n
