Now that the Albion sale is over...

Das Bill:
...I find myself a little poorer. :)

Bought a Count (with custom blue grip), and put a deposit down for the Maximillian. And I plan on paying $100 a month to pay it off... but I suspect I'll have plenty of time to do so, since it isn't in production yet.

But man, I couldn't resist the 25% off. :)

Dragonlover:
I'm rapidly discovering that you're buying up blades like I'm eating up harness...Lol!
 One set of full plate coming in, and another set being put into production.... ;D
 Yeah, we have to pay it off, but isn't it grand? Yep, I would've jumped the sale too!
Congrats again!!!  :D

Sir Edward:

Yeah, the $100/month thing should work well. I suppose I could have done that too, but instead I opted to defer payment simply by ordering a model not yet in production: The Chevalier.

I'd have been tempted to do two as well, but since I already have the Dane reserved (and came out ahead since the summer price-hike made my reservation the equivalent of about 33% off the new price), I figured having two on order is more than enough. :)

Oh, I've slowed down considerably over the last few years. :) This was my collection a few years ago... though it is woefully outdated...

Das Bill:
Yeah, I bought the Maximillian specifically because I know it won't be in production for a long time, which gives me a lot of time to pay it off. But I paid the Count in full right away right out of the bank to make sure that it wasn't an expense that would bite me later.

That's a great choice, and one that I was seriously considering as well. While my area of interest tends to be the late 14th and into the 15th century (at least for my medieval interests), there's something about the Chevalier that really speaks to me. It seems to capture the classic Crusader sword while at the same time being very unique. I think it appeals to me because its the type of design that really would have captured my imagination when I was a child reading about the Crusade era.

I was talking to David who said he felt the exact same way. He put money down on it as well.

I just couldn't justify putting money down on a third sword for the sale, especially considering I am still waiting on two others from Albion that aren't finished yet, and A&A just finished a HUGE order for me. But man, I do look forward to seeing how that sword turns out when its in production!
