2026 Pricing Update
Greetings friends,
The good news is that I got a big restock in! The bad news, restocks were a lot more expensive and I have to raise prices next month, March 2026.
I’ve put off raising prices as long as I can, but the day has finally arrived.
The cost of making stuff has increased significantly. I suppose it’s just part of running a business, but I don’t like it. I’ve avoided it too long. Enough whining, here is the move I’m going with.
There are basically four levels of Relicblade model kit:
Single character (1 guy with cards): was $12, now $15.
Large or double character (1 or 2 guys with cards): was $17, now $20.
Faction sets (4 guys with 10 cards). was $45, now $55.
Two-player sets (8 guys with lots of cards and a book). was $85, now $99.
I am sure you are aware of many pressures facing small businesses. I won’t bore you. I am keeping the price for books the same. Cards are more expensive now, but that cost is included in the model kit cost increase.
2025 prices will be active until the end of the month. That’s only about two weeks.
Summer-2026 Thundergod Kickstarter Info
Now for some fun info. I have been working on the next Kickstarter since last summer. Enjoy this teaser image of the new model kit and I’ll share an info dump in bullet points below.
Preview of the Thunder God plastic kit frame!
1: The next Kickstarter will be called Thunder God. It will be a two player set. It will include two full size warbands of all new characters, a little campaign book, and cards. I hope to include tokens and dice. The success/failure of the kickstarter will determine the final form. I started the manufacturing process for the miniatures in August of 2025, but there is a ton more work that must be done to have a complete game set. Completion is a long way off.
2: A new two-player set will not replace the Storms of Kural box set. You can regard these 2-player sets as larger faction sets that are theme/story driven. The product levels are single character expansions (1-2 guys), themed character/faction sets (4-5 guys), and large themed character box set (8-10 guys). Thunder God is a "large themed character box set." :)
3: Kickstarter in Summer 2026, maybe? A Thunder God kickstarter won't be organized until later this year. I expect to have one organized by this summer. But there are other challenges that will need to be navigated first.
4:The Battle Pigs and Bone and Darkness faction sets are out of production. Metal has gotten so expensive that the faction sets should probably be $80 each instead of $45. I spent all of my time and money making new multi-part plastic sets to replace those two out-of-production kits. It has been an enormous undertaking. Even though I am attempting to make some sets in plastic. I will continue to use metal for most of the range for the forseeable future. I am even making a new single character expansion in metal right now.
I will share info about these new releases soon!
5: Thank you for sticking with me! Between international trade policy and a prodigious spike in the cost of metal (tin specifically if you want to look into it), we are in a complicated situation. I'll do my best to keep making good toys. I can’t possibly express just how wonderful it’s been making toys for a living for the past ten years. I am really excited for this new phase and continuing to make fun stuff for you all.
