Title: Petru5's Valhalla's Gate offer
Post by: Petru5 on November 29, 2009, 02:04:50 PM
Last update: 1/19/10

The situation:  There's a guy, Thad, at Valhalla's Gate (www.valhallasgate.com (http://www.valhallasgate.com)) that is wanting to offload a bunch of Chronopia and Warzone figs.  I can vouch for his integrity and all transactions will go through either Valhalla's Gate, PayPal, or both.  

So how does this work?  You PM me with your wants and I'll 'middle man' it to Thad.  At that point, I'll step back and let you sort out payment and shipping with Thad.

Note - Shipping is not included in these prices.  All items are in blisters and unopened unless specified.

Hey!  Quick question.   Are those B-Hood Vestals the new style, or old style?   I could use a couple of the new style.   

If they are the newer style, let me know.  If you don't know, can anyone confirm based on part #?

Sorry, I never played Brotherhood, so I don't know if they are new or old sculpts, but here are the PA links:

Heads up, everyone.  The B-Hood troopers and Sgt listed above are the new style.   

Rare as hen's teeth, and definitely the way to fill in a squad or two for your B-Hood army.

I haven't heard from anyone who's contacted me about getting some of this stuff from Thad.  Any news I need to know about?  Do I need to light a fire under him?

I know there has been some contact between Thad and forum members.  Can people please send me updates so I can keep abreast of developments and update the list?  Thanks!

Light one under me first......and yes contrary to the evidence of my recent absence from the forum may have led you to believe - I live

I had sent an e-mail regarding the two pack of Valkyries, no reply. 

If Topkick wants them, however, I will defer.

Thanks TK,

Officially waiting for Thad to get back to me on the Valkyries.

Looks like I snoozed too long and Radagast asked first.....Rad - you wanting all 4 packs or is there one still available? Petru - go ahead and change the pending on the Valks to MadBrad

Actually Top, I was just about to contact Valhalla. I did not even notice your post.
You can certainly have one, or more than one if you want.

Done.  Remember to include either Chronopia or Warzone in the subject heading of any e-mails you send to Thad.  That way he'll know they aren't spam and delete them without looking first.  I apologize if he's slow.  While he's an owner of Valhalla's Gate, he also has a full-time 'real'  gov't job.  He doesn't check his VG e-mail everyday and he can't legally do so at his other job.  Not an excuse, but more of a reason behind the process.

TK & Rad...let me know which way ya'll jump on this and I'll update the list.

no, he hasnt even replied back to my original email.  i went and placed an order with spirit games instead (note: this was before my window was broke, veez :P), and depending on what they have in stock (i should be getting an email from them soon) i would change my order with valhallas gate. that is, if thad ever actually writes back, which i kinda am not even expectin much anyway...

That's disappointing.  Anyone else?  I don't exactly know when I'll be in Columbia again, but I can certainly e-mail him and try to get the figs myself.  I apologize to everyone that this hasn't come out like it should.  I think I overestimated his want to offload his minis.   >:(

Looks like this guy doesn't want to mess with the packing and shipping small orders so I will make his life easier. I will offer the guy $80 for the shooting match and he can ship it to me by cheapest mail possible - probably about 7-10 days. Then I can get paid by you all and ship it on. With luck this can all be done in about 10 days. If he won't do that much then Petru could go to the store and pay him the eighty and ship it to me? I will dig up as many of the Capitol Inf up to the max (if I have that many) you are looking for to cover shipping.

I never got answers back on the purchases I wanted to make.   Oh well.   
Title: Re: Petru5's Valhalla's Gate offer
Post by: pinksuezo on February 07, 2010, 11:01:33 PM
generous offer, top, but on my part, as i said above, i -may- back out of the order completely. depends on spirit games' stock.
Title: Re: Petru5's Valhalla's Gate offer
Post by: Topkick on February 08, 2010, 06:50:45 PM
Still interested in the figs but with everyone dropping out I am not going to pay his prices. I will go $1 a fig and $3 each for the larger figs (hammerheads and Mounted Hussars) - he snoozed he losed. If he's not interested then let the figs sit...just remind him that doing that he gets nothing.
Title: Re: Petru5's Valhalla's Gate offer
Post by: Petru5 on February 08, 2010, 09:12:24 PM
I concur, TK.  I don't think he'll go for that, but I can only ask. 

What's lousy to me is that I offered him a way to offload dead lead in a very convenient manner (IMHO) to a group that will actually use the minis, but instead he decided not to play ball (or if he did, very selectively).

Again everybody, I apologize.  It will be a little while before I'm back in Columbia and at Valhalla's Gate, but I'll make sure to let everyone know when I'm there so they can fulfill missed orders.  You never know, I may just go ahead and buy everything he has and become a mini-TK!

Dude -

Totally not your fault. If you want to buy the lot go for it. Just realize that at his prices you won't make too much of a profit. I also warn that you may end up with figs sitting around your house for awhile. Let the guy stew a bit and then hit him with either my offer or your own.

Will he be at your local con?

I might be interested in some the of B-hood figures that left. I'm just trying to figure out the current status of the trade/sale. Should I contact Thad, or wait and see what's happening with the mass order? I would be interested in Blessed Vestal Laura (both versions) and the Bhood Sgt that's left.

No.  Valhalla's Gate (or Thad) doesn't travel to Recruits (even though it's less than 2 hrs away), otherwise I'd tell him to bring them.  I understand that I won't make money on this.  To me, especially in a situation like this, promotion of product to people that appreciate it is more important than making a quick buck.  Thus, when I put out the Lanard sale info, I don't pad the costs:  What I paid is what you pay, plus actual shipping.  I think Veez can attest that dealing with me isn't always about the money.  If I were to buy all his stuff, I'd honor the prices I quoted.

Doompup - The issue is that people have tried to contact Thad, but there has been limited or no response on his part.

Petrus,

Thad's lack of respnsiveness in no way refelcts upon you.   So, we can all just move along.  Thanks for bringing some hard to find figures to the attention of the forum.   I would have been nice to let some folks fill in their armies. 

Doompup.  Anything that was marked as being under offer by me is fair game.   I am no unemployed, so new toys will have to wait. 

Hope everyone ends up having a great week!
