As we're taking a year off from the UK shows we thought it might be a nice opportunity for us to head somewhere a little different instead... So, we're delighted to announce that we'll be attending Cold Wars in the USA, on Feb 5th - 8th, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania!

We'll be there mainly to meet some of our US customers, so we won't be bringing a proper Pendraken stand.  We will be able to bring pre-orders though, so if any US folks would like to save the shipping costs on a regular order, you can now place orders and select the 'Collect at Cold Wars '26' shipping option (the 10% tariff will still apply).

Whilst we're in the States we're hoping to do a whole host of other things, including a tour of Gettysburg and visiting the Little Wars TV guys.

So, hopefully we'll see a few of you there!

Enoy your trip !

Awesome plan. Have a great trip

Cool trip!

Your luggage could be interesting if you end up taking a lot of orders over!

Yes watch the baggage excess

Have a great time and send photos.

Pennsylvania is Little Wars TV country.
I hope you'll take the opportunity to meet up with them.

I will be attending this and look forward to seeing Leon and company again.

Old expedition climbing tip, don't put the heavy things in your suitcase. Save it for your cabin bag.😉

Could be amusing putting it through the x-ray scanners.

Enjoy!

Just checking - You have checked the whole 'take it in your luggage' situation? (I'm sure you have).

Its not unusual to have your cabin bag weighed nowdays. If your cases are alreasdy up to weight or gone through baggage drop you re left with two options, Leave something behind or pay the extortionate excess baggage fee, and quite possibly have to check it into the hold

I think that Pendraken should reclaim  America as a colony.

On the pre-orders, we'll be shipping all of those in advance, to either the hotel or the show venue.  It's too much faff and potential hassle to take them with us on the plane, and I'm not sure how we'd pay the tariffs when bringing physical goods through customs.  Best to send them ahead and know that everything is dealt with safely.

That's the plan currently, we've chatted with the guys briefly so we'll confirm the plans when we get a bit closer to the event.

US could ask foreign tourists for five-year social media history before entry.


That little quip has now probably made me persona non grata over the pond 

Does this count as social media?
