Buying Larp weapons

Hey all, So I found thie new company that will ship larp weapons to NZ for a great deal. All the weapons shown below are only $35 US and shipping is $59 US no matter how many you buy. I am going to get a couple and was wondering if anyone else wanted in so we can split the shipping?

I am wanting to get the order in this week so that they get here before Teonn.

The company does have a return policy as well, so if you aren’t happy with your sword you can return it.

PM me if you are interested :slight_smile:

and the other 3 $35 weapons… :smiley:

Sounds pretty good. What’s the company? Can you post a link, please?

yeah sure :slight_smile:

They have more expensive weapons and shields as well for those interested

Good find Zara! I’ll definitely get back to you on these :slight_smile:

Yep! Keen! :smiley:

Likewise.

Will have a look

Good score, I’ll have a look tonight.

If you bring in more than about 5 swords, there will be GST and duty, plus other fees to pay.

I use this website to calculate it when I bring stuff in, that way you can min/max your order :slight_smile:

ooo, useful thanks Derek

so… using Derek’s helpful calculator if we get an order together for 5 weapons they will come to US$46.80 which is roughly to NZ$57 for a weapon.

These look very similar to a sword that King of Swords had at their display at Armageddon Hamilton. The one I handled was about 60cm. They had quite a large unsupported section at the tip which could be a concern. They were selling them for $30 a sword. Might be worth contacting them before you order to see if they’re the same? I mean they might be perfectly fine, I am just advising caution.

Thanks for the tip Jared, I have emailed them now asking about this. :slight_smile:

Also, I have just had a look on the King of swords website and the LARP swords they are selling are definitely different to these ones

I could be keen… that second sword looks quite wicked…

I’m interested in a rapier.

Good to see so many people are interested. If you want to buy one pm me with the type you want to confirm.

:slight_smile:

To be honest, those seem too good to be true. I won’t trust those swords till I see them with my own two eyes, hit with them and be hit with them. Otherwise I’d make an order too.

The company carries one of the best larp manufacturers from Europe that I know of - also they have a returns policy that I will be (ab)using should anything go wrong :smiley:

Having done the math, (OK, Anthony did the math for me), none of those swords are quite long enough for my purposes. Alas. :slight_smile:

Ok that is there standard line. They definitely had one of the swords you guys are looking at on their display at Armageddon, one of the Templar swords (at 28" which is close to the estimate of 60cm I gave).

So 2 things from me:

  1. They have one of these swords in stock and may have more. And the one they had at Armageddon was NZ$30.
  2. The length of unsupported tip seemed long. Might not be an actual issue.

If I get a chance I will follow up with King of Swords about their source and pricing… might be worth getting hold of the templar sword and testing them out.

I think these may be the same swords: US$14 + shipping
