[Archive] Has anyone else not received their free Mantic Ghoul?

Hi there,

I’ve had a bunch of friends who have signed up for the Mantic Newsletter, and haven’t received thier ‘free ghoul’.

Had anyone else had this problem? Just curious.

oddly I was given a free elf with my order of 80ish dwarfs, didn't ask for it, was just sent along.
Although it did help me decide I REALLY don't like their elves, too skinny and silly poses. nope, not for me.

zobo1942:

I got my free one - but three or four people I know haven’t received thiers - after 10+ months.

nitroglysarine:

thats certainly long enough to prod for a replacement, or ask whats up!

Shakhorth:

I didn’t get my free ghoul… :frowning:

First, you need to sign up for both the Mantic and Wayland games newsletter to get the free sprue.

Second, it’s Wayland that’s shipping them out - not Mantic themselves.

Third, Wayland didn’t start shipping them out until early April - so 10+ months is … not 100% correct :smiley:

Those that did sign up - but didn’t get one should contact Wayland Games.

Ohh, yes, I got mine - early May if I remember correctly.

Hammerhand:

I got mine, but it took ages - I guess there’s just a back log to clear through!

zobo1942:

You’re right about the date - my mistake. My internal clock has been really screwed up, as my wife had our second child at the end of April and it just seems like that was ten months - or a lifetime! - ago. Just FYI, having two kids is a lot more than twice as hard as having one!

I was just curious if it was something that only happened to people in Canada, as I rarely get things shipped from overseas. I know that once, it took eight weeks for a package I sent to get to California, which was bizarre.

Anyway, the people I know who signed up for it aren’t that concerned about it, and neither am I, truth be told.

Amen! to that, I've got two kids, boy 4, girl 1. Soooo little time :(

zobo1942:

I understand! Girl 3.5, boy 0.5-ish. I have about a half hour of time daily, usually late at night when I’m exhausted and have no energy. Still trying to figure out how to better manage my time to get some more creative time in.

Nicodemus:

never got my Ghoul either, sadly. Is there any chance they avoid sending free figs to other countries?

I’m still getting their newsletter…

Shakhorth:

I’ve contacted Wayland Games, we’ll see what will happen. :~

Update: Just recieved mail from Wayland Games, another Ghoul is underway.
