Gear from the UK

HI all,
I’m considering a gear purchase from the UK from the following sites:

http://www.eldritch.com
http://www.darkbladeuk.co.uk

If we combine orders, we can save on postage. Plus Dave (McIsaac aka TequilaDave) can also look into any other deals.

Let me know if you are interested, as the exchange rate is pretty good right now!

I’m also going to be re-launching the Paddywhack site in the next week and taking orders for new stock - just saying in case people are wondering where it’s at.

Wow, the Eldritch stave photos are useless even when zoomed. >.<

They are a bit, but I can tell you their stuff is amazing for the price you pay. If there’s something in particular you want a good look at you should try emailing them. If you get no response, I can try giving them a call.

Some it looks excellent, but with currency conversion it looks to be a little to expensive…

don’t google for “latex katana”

just don’t :open_mouth:

Rainier’s katana is quite nice, does anyone know the brand?

Ok, you just know we’re all gonna have to now… :unamused:

It’s made by Atliers-Nemesis, and available either from them or from Primalforge

I’m on pretty good standing with the Primalforge guys, having bought a bunch of stuff from them and trying to organise a club discount for you peeps back home. They’re also happy to try sort a shipping deal, so if you want something try to get a group together and contact them directly rather than ordering through the website.

I’m going to be talking to all three sites mentioned so far, as well as http://www.lrpstore.com about club discounts. With the exchange rate so good it’s a good time to get gear.

Rebate and bonus table
Amount of the order (Can$) Buying group rebate Organizer’s bonus
1000-1449.99$ 5% 50 to 72.50
1500-1999.99$ 10% 72.50 to 100
2000-2999.99$ 15% 100 to 150
3000$ and more 20% 150 to …

Yeah, I wasn’t really planning on harassing the Canadians :stuck_out_tongue:

Primalforge, Lrpstore, and Darkblade all have a similar club scheme where every purchase made by members of an affiliated club generates credit for that club. It would be a good way to get gear for the NZLARPS library, and doesn’t have the CAN$1,000 minimum. The alternative is to set NZLARPS as a sort of reseller, and everyone buys the gear through NZLARPS (who get a discount). The catch is that the shipping probably wouldn’t be so great and you wouldn’t actually save anything over ordering each item individually.

We have a few interested people now with serious intentions to buy:
Adam Parsons
Porl
Myself
Andrew Hart
and a few others who have expressed some interest, so start listing what you want.

Also, this gear appears expensive however you can get some really nice swords for around the $100 mark. Less if you want shortswords etc. And they do have some budget gear, though I suggest if you can only afford entry level gear that this escapade isn’t for you!

I’d like to place orders before November, so do those budgets, beg borrow and steal, just remember to leave a few $ for postage.

I’d like to order a SW2-07 from Eldritch.

This isn’t the best pic, but it’s a knife I bought from Eldritch a couple of months back

It’s nicely weighted, has a bound leather handle, and really looks the part. All of their gear is made to look this good or better.

I’ve just got a couple of belts and cloak pins in from Medieval Fight Club. its in Oz, so the postage is cheap, and they can handle orders in NZ$.

Now I am tempted to buy a cow and try my hand at pouch-making.

Ok so what are people looking at as far as gear goes?

Eldritch
Zara wants a SW2-07 (what size by the way?)
Jared SW1-07 (42")
Adam?
Porl?
Others?

Zara would like SW2-07 42" Carbon Fibre / Light Weighted

We would like quotes for:

Cooking pot (eldritch.com/image.php?image … with%20lid)

Amethyst sword Carbon Fibre 2h (48") (eldritch.com/image.php?image … l%20blades) one on the far right.

Blue Blade Lightsabre Anakin Hilt 42" Carbon fibre

Red Blade Lightsabre Qui Gon Hilt 42" Carbon Fibre

Can they do somthing like what this guy is holding at 70" (games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Cus … 73x627.jpg)

Here is what Eldritch have suggested for our upcoming order:

1 - We pick a day when everyone has to order by and confirm the delivery address
2 - Everyone places their order and puts NZLARP in the comments box on the checkout
3 - Everyone selects the “Rest of World” shipping option so that they know the “worst case scenario” amount they could be charged (the discount will be applied on each invoice)
4 - I get the actual cost of shipping the whole order and charge everyone according to their percentage of the total shipping cost
5 - I email everyone an individual copy of their invoice the day after the last order day
6 - I hold all the orders and charge all the cards on the day after the last day (our site doesn’t automatically charge credit cards, it’s all done manually by me).

If people want custom items I’m going to need emails with images and sizes from everyone individually at least a week before you order. Don’t order in stock items without double checking with me first that their definitely in stock. We’re trading at 5 events between now and the end of November so the in stock page is still pretty fluid.

I think that’s everything. Let me know if there’s anything else you need.

Look forward to hearing from you

(editted to include the email for Eldritch)

We’re looking at a close off date of Monday 2nd of November for custom order quotes to be sent.
As mentioned above custom orders need to requested a week before the main order date.

I am looking at making November 9 our ordering day, so all who wish to get in on this need to organise what they want using the above instructions before November 9.

We will use a SINGLE Auckland mailing address for our order, it will go to Adams (Parsons aka Xcerus) place, unless someone has a vastly better idea.

[size=150]Order date = November 9 [/size]

Hmmm Eldritch have not responded to my quote request despite pestering them all week… order day may be delayed as I can’t order until I have my quote!

I’ve just this moment spoken with Lynne from Eldritch, and all is well, plus there’s some juicy extras…

For this month, they are going to be having a blanket 10% of everything in stock - standard or otherwise. To go with this, they will be doing us some decent photos of everything they have, including closeups of guards/hilts etc, to make it easier for us to pick what we want.

As soon as I have the photos (or links to) I’ll post them here.
