New Pricing
The producer has changed the prices. The new system increases prices for single pieces a lot. Please take also a look on the 10x sets which are dramatically cheaper.
Test status
I try to test all of the items and report the results via photos. If there's a photo available then you can see the item on a minifig.
Sometimes there are design changes done to improve the look of an item. So the photo may not be exactly accurate.
Complete new items normally have the text (Test) in the name. The can be assumed to be under construction.
If the test suceeds and only small adaptations were done by me the items status changes to (tbn).
Prices
To achieve better prices I have started to provide some packs containing 10-20 items of a type.
Whereas single hats cost $2.5-$3.5 the price of a hat inside a package is $1.5-$2.5.
Please take a look in the
packs section to see if a pack is available.
If it's missing try to contact me to see if I can provide such a package.
Material
I recommend
pWSF for the smaller price range and transparent detailed or
frosted detailed for the larger range.
New Item Requests
I'm also open to
suggestions for new item types. There are a lot of such items now available in the existing collection which were based on user requests.
