May 06, 2007 Fully Illustrated Eureka Miniatures Catalogue on CD Much as we loved our old paper catalogue, its burgeoning size and our frequent release schedule has made it difficult to sustain both in terms of its cost for us to produce, and the final price to you as the customer. The postage costs for this weighty volume in particular were threatening to become prohibitively high. So we decided the inevitable course of action was to produce the new Ninth Edition of the Compendium Magnificum as a compact disc. Much cheaper and easier to post! The compact disc contains three pdf files; one covering all our Eureka ranges; another the AB Figures 15 / 18mm range, and a third dealing with all the other ranges we manufacture under licence – including Grumpy Miniatures, Irregular Miniatures, Museum Miniatures, and GZG Games. (Various versions of Adobe’s free Acrobat Reader are included on the disc for you to download in case you do not already have the required software). Three links on the CD’s lead-in page will take you to whichever of the three sections of the catalogue you want. Each section of the catalogue starts with fully navigable contents pages. Active links embedded in the contents pages allow you to locate specific ranges within that section of the catalogue. Simply move your cursor over the range you are interested in and click, and that will take you to the page which the product is located on. We have noted a small bug that sometimes means the disc does not take you directly to the contents pages when you access a section of the catalogue. This is easily remedied however by going into the section of the catalogue you want, and then pressing “Home” on your keyboard. This will take you to the first of the contents pages. As with previous editions of our catalogue, the Ninth Edition of the Compendium Magnificum is fully illustrated with detailed black and white pictures of every figure we make, as well as the vast majority of everything else we make under licence – all reproduced at actual / life size. If you choose to print off pages of the catalogue the big advantage of the actual size pictures is that they allow you to see exactly what you get, and compare our products for compatibility with the ranges of other manufacturers. We know customers like to do this, so while stocks last, every CD of the Compendium Magnificum we sell will be supplied with a laminated card cover (from our old Eighth Edition catalogue) for you to store your printed pages in. The comprehensive inclusion of pictures for the figures we produce under licence will be especially welcome to those who get a little frustrated with the limited number of pictures on our website for these ranges. Limitations in bandwidth make it difficult to illustrate everything on our website, but the CD Catalogue lavishly illustrates everything we make – not just the Eureka and AB Figures ranges. The CD also includes all the pricing and postage information you will need. The Ninth Edition of the Compendium Magnificum costs AU$10.00* including case, card cover for hard copy, and FREE postage anywhere in the World. * Australian customers must add 10% ‘Goods and Services Tax’ FREE CATALOGUES! The Compendium Magnificum will be updated at roughly half yearly intervals, but our regular customers will not have to necessarily keep buying a revised copy just to keep up with what we are doing, because from now on ALL orders over AU$150* will automatically receive a FREE copy of the latest version. * Excluding shipping (and ‘Goods and Services Tax’ payable by Australian customers only) Customers who bought our old Eighth Compendium Magnificum are also eligible to receive a FREE copy of the new CD catalogue.
