@IWillNeverGrowUp:

As of today, ALL FMG orders (that we have received or are aware of) have been shipped out, along with all IWNGU orders sent in by noon today (eastern time).

Hopefully all of these orders arrive before the holidays. If you are looking to order for the holidays, unfortunately that deadline has now passed.

We will continue to pack and ship any orders that come in and we will continue to pick up more stock as we go (I just packed up the last of the black Germany dice that we have in stock, so I will need to get more of those for sure).

We generally ship 1-2 times per week depending on volume of orders.

Thank you for your support!

Wow, what great news. Thank you so much for your efforts in shipping out the outstanding FMG orders. I hope mine from Oct 12th is in that group of shipped orders.

Thank you again!

HBG has been offered the Gold Sponsorship and we accepted. We are working on banners as we speak.

Awesome. Thank you HBG! I’ve always had great experiences buying from your site.

I can upload actual photos of mine if anyone is interested. These are just digital images from the website.

Really? Wow, that’s too bad that you threw them away.

@Wolfshanze:

I went to the Shapeway site, and those factories were nowhere close to 10 for $12 if that’s US Dollars… they were much pricier when I looked (Dec 2016).

I thought the price might have increased, but I just went there and the ones I ordered (from eBard Models) are $12 (US Dollars) and you get 10 in the 3D print. I ordered 10 regular, white, two stack factories to represent the minor ones and I ordered 10 black, four stack factories for major.

I’m currently finding Ebay prices of original industrial complexes such as 11 for $9 or 12 for $8, so I’d probably go with Ebay prices if you’re looking for original pieces. I just personally liked the idea of getting two different models from Shapeways in two different colors to differentiate between minor and major.

I just ordered a pack of these. Probably won’t arrive in time for Christmas but I’m still looking forward to giving them as a late gift.

Thanks for all your great work, Young Grasshopper.

23.84 would be a bit expensive, but you do get 10 factories. That’s not horrible if it includes shipping, but I’ve seen better prices on Ebay and sometimes even on Etsy.

I would post pictures of the two different styles I ordered from Shapeways, but the forum isn’t letting me attach pictures for some reason. The Shapeways models from designer eBard are very nice.

They have these very nice models on Shapeways. I purchased a set of 10 for $12 and I’m very happy with the 3D printing job.

Go to Shapeways and type Axis and Allies in the search bar.

I bought a full set of those from Shapeways about 2 months ago. They were much smaller than I expected, but that’s good anyways because of space limitations. I also ordered two different types of industrial complex models to be used as major and minor.

I can post pics of any of that if you’re interested since the pics on Shapeways are just computer generated images.

I’ve been contacting FMG via email, Facebook, through Paypal…. NOTHING! I didn’t get my order for an October birthday present and it looks like I won’t be giving them as a Christmas gift either.

Guess it’s time to go to work on FMG with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

I ordered from FMG on October 12…and it’s now November 23 and NOTHING has arrived. They won’t respond to communications. They won’t send my order.

They have ads all over this site to draw people in, but they’re such a scuzzy company. I ordered items from them for a birthday gift for a kid who’s just getting into A&A. He would have loved the items I ordered for him. I’ve told him about what I ordered for him and he’s excited, but over two months wait time so far? That’s crap!
