Back on topic, it seems the rest of the world (i.e. China?) is only looking, and not buying much?

Kind of, although it's hard to tell how many of those China visits are spam-based.  We do have a couple of Chinese customers, but they don't order very often.  We get some quite random visit locations when you look at the full breakdown.  This week we had Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Chile popping in for a look about...!

Our 'Rest of the World' are nearly always from the same customers in China and Russia.  Aside from them, we've had one-off's to Argentina, Brazil and Bermuda in the last 6 months!

Beat me to it Leon ;) Was just about to say the chinese hits are more than likely spammers

Probably spammers, yes. Or people looking in on the progress of all those Chinese figures that were requested (Korea/Boxer rebellion/Warlord period and so on).  ;)

Think of the sales potential here! I say give 'em what they want! Or would it just be another ploy to hoard all the metal reserves?  :-\

From chatting with a customer in Japan a while ago, wargaming is a growing hobby in Asia, so the potential is definitely there.  I'd assume though, that it's a whole lot cheaper for them to buy from China than import from western countries?

The Top 3 Totty thread is now, rather fittingly, in the Top 3 threads for views!  Just behind all the WW2 requests (which now have their own board), and the combined Plane and Train diorama's.
