Glued My Fingers Mini Store

Making an order for magnets from the UK.

2010-01-26T21:38:00.001-08:00

According to the image below, I'm gonna make an order on magnets from my supplier in UK. This is because I was searching for a cheaper alternative/supplier but it seems that they are quite hard to find. So I'll stick with my current supplier for now.

Prices range as follows: 1mm - RM 0.80 per piece. Good for magnetizing marine heads, limbs, wrists and so on.

2mm - RM 0.90 per piece. Good for bigger models but also good for marine limbs as the size is not that much of a difference from the 1mm magnets.

3mm - RM 1.00 per piece. Suitable for magnetizing terminators and bigger creatures like Tyranid Warriors.

5mm - RM 1.10 per piece. More suitable for monstrous creatures, small Predator sponsons or Rhino doors. Should do good on Land Raiders too.

All magnets can be glued under the base so you can magnetize your bases. In doing so, you can cut the biscuit tin for the metal sheet and use it to keep you miniatures in place. Just an idea for fantasy players.

All magnets go in sets of 10. This makes it easier for me to count and order too. So please let me know how many of which size you want by the 10th of February 2010 in which I will make the order on that destined day.

I also got to get a hold on magnets that are 1cm in size. Overly powerful, but only RM 5 for 10. Only suitable for magnetizing LARGE vehicles such as Land Raiders or magnetizing an extremely heavy miniature or vehicle. -Not recommended at all- Don't get these unless you do what I'm doing, magnetizing the Wave Serpent to it's base.

Temporarily not restocking on GW products.

2009-09-02T02:10:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, for now, I'm gonna save up entirely for the bulk that will arrive in November, restocking will happen during that time, other than that, if you want to purchase anything, it will be at 15% off RRP (real retail price), and it will arrive within 2 weeks.

Do check out whatever else that is in stock, non-direct GW items will still be at the discount rate following the sale given. So take this chance and buy it off cheap!

Biggest Roll Some Dice Sale!

Today, I bring everyone good news.

From today, 25th of August 2009 till 30th of September 2009, any orders you make on Games Workshop non-direct purchases will be given a 25% discount apart from the normal 15% discount.

From the 1st of October 2009 till the 31st of October 2009, any orders you make on Games Workshop non-direct purchases will be given a 20% discount apart from the normal 15% discount.

Payment has to be made. Or your order will not be entertained. I don't have enough money to bear for everything already.

How do you calculate your purchase? Simple, here's an example:

Space Marine Land Raider discount 25%: 35 x 0.75 x 5.85 = RM 153.56, Round it up to RM 155, meaning, round it up to the nearest 5 or 10
Space Marine Tactical Squad discount 25%: 20 x 0.75 x 5.85 = RM 87.75 Round it up to RM 90.

I'm using 5.85 for the exchange rate in case it fluctuates within this 2 months.
The rounding up reason is also to ensure I don't suffer too much of a loss. And it also makes it easier for me to calculate and for you to pay me.

GW non-direct items that are already in stock will also be subjected to the discount rate above.

***All accumulated orders will be made at the 1st of November 2009.***

This is a good chance for all of you who wants to start a new army, buy that armoured company, a brand new company of a chapter or playing an Apocalypse game at the end of this year, this is your chance! You will never find such a deal in this world that has such good discount rates. I'm only going to do this for this one time. I have yet to even calculate the cost of me doing this but I can say, it's a big sacrifice for me to make.

So I hope you guys start letting your imaginations go wild on whatever you want to buy.

Contact me via email at alvin.khaw.88@gmail.com or call me if you have my number.

And always remember, Roll Some Dice!

More stock before I return to my hostel...

2009-08-11T08:24:00.000-07:00

Just wanna announce that I'll be ordering quite a bulk this month so when I get back in my hostel I will have all the stock in there already.

What I will be ordering is:
Some Eldar stuff

Imperial Guard vehicles

Chaos Space Marines Stuff

Some Orky stuff

Maybe a box of Bloodletters

MAYBE some Tyranids just for fun

I don't really know what else to get, so if you want, let me know what you expect to get in the future so I can place the order and have them as stock.

Finally, everything arrived safely...

2009-07-07T21:27:00.000-07:00

Do check out the side columns for updates.

Man! I love the word arrive... XD

Some stock has arrived...

2009-07-06T23:08:00.000-07:00

Today I recieved a load of items from my supplier. Check the side columns for updates. They're all seperated by factions, so it's easier to look.

One of my orders have been lost in the warp, I hope it arrives soon and hope that those affected by it's delay would be patient.

I hate it when it happens...

More stock incoming!

2009-06-29T01:17:00.001-07:00

I've ordered more stock today, it contains lots of Imperial Guard, some Chaos Daemons, some Eldar, and some Orks. Check back for more updates and info.

Worse news from GW ever!

2009-06-24T06:12:00.000-07:00

Holy Crap!! I asked GW whether their price increase for the standard international shipping is right, and they have confirmed it!

Take a look at the picture below.

Basically, it's 10 pounds if I make an order with 9 items or less. Anything more than that will cost 29 pounds in standard shipping.

So, do understand if I have to charge on some shipping fee for your GW direct purchase...

A little of good and bad news...

2009-06-22T00:19:00.000-07:00

Today lots of items arrived. I will be taking some Eldar and probably more Orky stuff the next round for stock.

Take a look at the side columns for the minor update in stock.

That's all for the good news.

For the bad news... GW has been doing something funny with me. First off is, from 8 pounds of Standard Shipping, it has become 10 pounds. After I add in a little more items, it became 29 pounds!

Take a look at the picture below.

Unfortunately I will have to discuss with GW before I can make the next order.

Designated order day.

2009-06-15T06:25:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, to make things more organized and easier for everyone, I've designated Mondays as order days.

Meaning that I would compile everyone's orders throughout the week and on Mondays, I'll place the orders.

I made it so because it would be easier for me and I wouldn't have to make too many trips to the banks.

My supplier could send the orders out possibly on the same day of the order too. If Pos Malaysia doesn't screw up, the package might arrive on the same week, but it still depends on the traffic. It might take up to 3 weeks for the shipment to arrive.

Hope you guys could work with me on this.

I'm sure you guys recognize this box here, it has been out of production for a long time.

When I went through my supplier's inventory, I found these. I'm not sure if it's a joke or not, but I'll ask them whether they really have it.

Anyways, here is the content in the box:
3 Space Marine Vindicators

1 Vehicle Command Sprue

The price is at RM 350

Let me know if you're interested, then I'll get it from them if they still have it...

Shipment that arrived today...

2009-06-08T02:14:00.001-07:00

Today, I received the biggest shipment in my entire life time... Probably there will be more because I keep ordering stuff for stock and you guys who buy them anyway...

After unpacking, some of the stuff has been sold. All the Orky stuff are in for stock and the Imperial Guard Valkyries are here too. Nice...

So everything you see on the stock lists are already in except the Chaos Warriors...

Welcome to Glued My Fingers Mini Store

2009-06-06T08:59:00.000-07:00

Ever since I've started the hobby, I've grumbled a lot about the price of it. I've been looking for alternatives to save up for the hobby, which also had me to cut down on my daily meals and be frugal for a long period of time.

I became very careful about my money, especially with the unnecessary spending. Since I come from a middle income family, I don't ask much from my parents. All the money I put into the hobby are purely from efforts of my own. Yes, my parents do not know about the hobby. I live in a hostel far away from my home and I'm on my own. Well, they have to give me a monthly allowance for my food and rental of course. The best thing is, they don't know about how successful I've ran this business since last year. I plan to surprise them one day of course. I also work as a motivational coach from time to time. From there, all my money would go to GW. :P

What is this business all about? I stock and sell the miniatures and hobby products from GW, Privateer Press, Avatars of War, Warlords, Gale Force 9 and even The Army Painter. I'm looking to be involved with those companies directly and am also looking to have ties and connections with even more.

Why am I doing this?

It all started when I was just a beginner at the hobby. As we all know, the cost of this hobby is phenomenal. So I looked for alternatives to attain my hobby needs. This includes ordering online. My friends started to hop into my orders and we'll make a bulk purchase. The reason I became the one who made the purchase is simply because I live in a hostel and all the parcels that arrive would always be received even if I'm not in and it will always be secure until I get it. My friends of course, paid me a little fee for all my troubles of making the orders and sorting them out. Whilst ordering in a bulk, I would receive a little discount, which is a bonus. Those little earning I made contributed a lot to my hobby funds.

I've also seen lots of retailers out there who take advantage of the gamers. Simply because they look "rich" and they can "afford" this hobby. Some times the orders are just messed up and takes months and months to arrive. In Malaysia, we don't have a GW outlet, so we have to rely on the gaming stores here.

At that point of time, I vowed to help the fellow gamers to get hold of what they need and want at the lowest possible price in Malaysia in the minimum waiting time while maintaining a little profit for the hobby. I also do my best to help new gamers and guide them to do the right purchase. I just don't want to see anyone's money being wasted. This is the reason why I do my best to write reviews on certain products I find useful for my readers.

With that said, I would like to thank Webster for starting me off with the business back in October 2008. Ivan who made me realize of the potential in the business and took this next step. Nahri who gave me lots of advice because he wants to see me open a proper physical shop for everyone. Radin who educated me a lot on the GW side of things and taught me to play WHFB. All the gamers who pitched in to support me on making this business bigger (I'm talking to you guys in CM, I promise I'll give back something in a different form to our community). My parents who are always worried about my health (I get sick easily). My sister who quietly supports me. My friends who I talk crap and laugh with a lot. And of course to Kim for listening to my ramblings about my ups and downs and for being there for me through thick and thin for the past few years.

Let's make this a good one!
