We are starting with the French & Indian War, and we’ll be expanding it to cover all future supplements.What is a Nickstarter?A Nickstarter is our silly name for the pre-order programs we run for our new figures.

It isn’t crowd-funding, the figures are made, everyone will get what they ordered in quick time after the end of the Nickstarter. If you order one or more of the deals, the amount you spend goes into the ‘Spend Total’ When that ‘Spend Total’ hits various goals, it releases free stuff and prizes for all qualifying participants.

For example, if you buy a deal 2, your £51.50 will be added to the Spend Total, and when it hits £3,600, it releases a free Indian Chief with Heart for each customer, and so on. The Spend Goal rewards are limited to one per customer, not per deal bought.
