Has anyone seen this yet?  I'm not sure on the size of it, but it looks adequately enough like a droppod for $20.  Thoughts?

I think it's from an australian company. Don't recall the name, but it's not THAT new. I think someone posted about it when it was originally released (about 3-4 weeks ago?).

Looks like it could work. Give it a try for us?

Yep its been floating around the net for a while now. I've heard mixed results about the Drop Pod and the terrain they make. I don't have the link on me, but you should be able to track down the sellers au site, and they show what their products are made out of.

It is a very cheap way to get a drop pod, the golden rule probably applies " you get what you pay for".

I bought one, got it in the mail a few weeks ago, but my digital camera is at a friends house a few hours a way (where I left it) so I'm not going to put it togethert until I could take some in-process pics. I'm headed to to pick it up Wednesday, so I'll hopefully start assembly this weekend with pics.

if the scale is good, i don't see why you couldn't use them.

Welcome to last week.

No, seriously, thanks for bringing it to our attention again. I've got three from Neal (mazal tov on the wedding Neal!) coming this week, so I'll slap 'em together and see how they look, but I've seen their church and was quite impressed by it. Should go together with white/wood glue, and the church was a lot lighter than expected, so I'm excited.

Their stuff is wood, MDF so its pretty sturdy stuff yet light weith cuz its not extra thinck.

Wow, they marked it down to 20.99 from 20.99, what a deal!

Seriously though, how do they compare in size to a forge world one?

Neal got them for folks here in the US on request, and as I understand he did not get the kind of discount on them from the company that would allow him the normal "Neal deal". Now that could be becaue of small volume on inital orders just to test the product out or ( however un likely ) the manufacturer has the stuff at a bare minumum marke up. Either was 20.99 is a whole lot better that 65 or more for a drop pod. BUt I digress...

These are supposed to be very close to the GW size of drop pod.

Yea 20.99 is much better.

So the unassembled product....

Does it look like it will be of the appropriate size?
