Well I have to say you are cranking out an amazing amount of new figs! I can not thank you guys enough for your efforts in creating the foremost 10mm company out there!  I will be buying lots of your figures in the future and cannot wait for the LOA and the French Rev to be filled out, but I will wait impatiently!

One word of caution (I do not know what is going on behind the scenes so this is just a friendly bit of advice based on what I see with the vast number releases you are doing) be careful that you do not over extend yourselves. Either too many incomplete ranges or too many new ranges, I realize that you are walking a tight rope between what we want and what you can do which makes financial sense to you guys and keeps your company healthy and growing.  I would concentrate on completing those lines that you can, working with what your sculptors can do. You have a solid base of support from the gamers as can be easily seen from this forum.

So keep up the good work but don’t get carried away and lose sight of the important things both in life and in your business.

Hear Hear!  I second everything that Wkeyser said above   :-bd

Great job to all of the Pendraken Family for taking 10mm to the forefront  =D>   =D>

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.  I think since the start of the Forum, we've filled in more gaps in ranges than ever before, and we'll continue to do that as long as people keep the requests coming in!

www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 10,000 products, including nearly 5000 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints, Tiny Tin Troops flags and much, much more!

How significant an increase in sales has there been since the start of the forum? I am guessing big, as it has encouraged my impulse buying and decision to move down to 10mm from 28mm & 20mm.

We had a good year through 2010, but it's hard to quantify exactly how much of that was down to the Forum, as the new website went live at the same time almost.  One thing I have noticed is that we get much more interest in the new releases through the greens pics, and then the full releases being put on here.  (Plus all the other Forums/sites I spam...!)

One thing the Forum can take full responsibility for, is the Dungeon Packs, which have been a great success, and have captured the imagination of so many new people.  We'll be attempting so replicate that success in another genre before too long...

I don't know about others but I would never have heard about either the Dungeon Packs or Pendraken if DungeonWorld had not been listed as an entry in the BoardGameGeek database, one of my favorite websites. I can't remember now who posted the pictures there but they were a BIG factor in getting me to decide to purchase quite a lot of items from the dungeon lines, with probably more orders to come when the next batch of theme packs is released !

I think it was a member called 'crnacko' who posted the info there.  To be honest, I'd never heard of the site and was pleasantly surprised to see us there!

BoardGameGeek is a lot like The Miniatures Page (TMP), only more in formative. It`s a Godsend to gamers as a directory for finding out whats going on in the hobby as a whole, or to find out about retro games which are no longer easily available to buy... even gives ebay links.
