Ares' bag of pegs

[Angiolillo]

A bag of 100 pegs, first of a series of accessories, is announced on Ares' site:

http://www.aresgames.eu/5418

[tuladin]

How much do they cost (U.S. Dollars)?

[bsmith13]

Huzzah! I haven't lost any pegs, but I'm always afraid that I will. Also, now I can modify pegs without my OCD-caused remorse kicking in.

[Angiolillo]

I have no details. They entered distribution anyway.

[Naharaht]

This is good news.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I'd better get some more of the Oberst's gimbles then, ready for a mass convertion!
Rob.

[Burt]

I will be in for a bag, when they appear on the market!

[Boney10]

Just been in contact with Ares about this , this is an extract from their reply

it will last some days until the product will hit the stores, as we are sending it now to distributors.

[Timmo UK]

Excellent.

Andrea
I don't suppose there's any chance ARES could make pegs that were double length but with about a 25 degree bend in the middle. This would enable the models to be posed at more realistic flying attitudes. Simply by rotating the peg/model banking either to right or left, diving, or climbing can be achieved.

[Angiolillo]

It would be nice. But you should ask robdimeglio instead.

[AlgyLacey]

Excellent.

How would you do straight and level? (Not that any experienced pilot is going to do that for any length of time).

Have you had a look at Herr Oberst's gimbal mounts?

Just exchange the angled piece for a couple of normal ones. I just think the game looks more dynamic with banking planes even if they are flying straight and level.

@Niclas
I've seen the odd pic of the gimble mounts, but is there are thread detailing them? I don't want to do any conversions to the planes themselves.

@Andrea
How do I ask robdimeglio directly?

There's even a sticky: Here! (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?1931-Gimbal-Mounts&highlight=gimbal+mounts)
There you can see a number of different options. Including ones where you put the gimbals on the pegs only.

[tuladin]

ACD just listed them. They'll be $4.99.

[Doug]

Where do we get them from?

[Diamondback]

Any chance of someday seeing some kind of bracing for REALLY extended altitudes? :D I'm thinking for a game in CAVU conditions: Ceiling And Visibility Unlimited, the only limits for how far up or down you can go are the ground and your plane's altitude limit... oh, and how far up you can breathe in the thinned air.

[BobP]

Well never know when you may need more pegs but the ones I have seem to be enough. Again you never know.

[tuladin]

Where do we get them from?

Your friendly local game store, once they're available.

[crashx]

Pegs!!! Pegs!!! Did someone say Pegs!!!

[brucewallace]

ACD? Who are they? Do they market to the public? How do I get in touch with them?

Bruce

[Dwarflord22]

Another must purchase item for my list :thumbsup:

[tuladin]

Bruce

ACD Distribution is a wholesaler that supplies independent game stores. You can't deal with them directly unless you are a store and have an account with them.

[pstapleton53]

So when will 12-7 games have them?

[wargamer]

Sheesh, they just announce the stuff today, and you want the stuff in your stores yesterday. What next, extra eggs in yer beer?

[Boney10]

Yes please, though I'll take the beer without the egg ;)

So - New year then....

[robdimeglio]

The pegs are already shipping to some of the distributors, so any good retailer may have them within the next two to three weeks.

[jbmacek]

Sweet! I'm looking forward to grabbing a bag or four myself!

[Watchdog]

Any news on availability in any online shops, anyone?

[robert t]

As for bent/angled pegs, couldn't you just put a peg section over a candle to soften the plastic and then bend it slightly?
I'd use pliers to grip the peg section at each end. With 100 pegs, you can afford to practice a few times to get it right.
Depending on where the peg is then placed, you can get various angles by the time you attach your plane.
Just a thought for you DIY's.

[Rabbit 3]

Any chance they might be thinking of doing this with the bomber pegs as well.
There are a lot of `unnoficial` bomber models out there needing pegs!

[Oberst Hajj]

Unless the situation has changed, the pegs we are getting are "production over runs" and once gone, they are gone. Unless the bombers also had a peg over run, I don't see us getting those.

[Baron Rolf]

Great news I need some of them for my new planes I'm planning to buy :thumbsup:

[Timmo UK]

Dom

Do you intend to stock these?

[Dom S]

If I can get them, yes I will, but the distribution on these is an unknown for me - if and when they pop up at Esdevium I'll grab some.

PS - For future reference, I only visit here very occasionally these days; I caught your post by luck, but emailing me's a much better bet than posting questions on a forum - odds are that I won't see the latter.

[Doug]

I contacted 12-7-Games and Bill had not heard anything about them, but he will be investigating and hopeful will do his best to get some :thumbsup:

[Zoe Brain]

The pegs are already shipping to some of the distributors, so any good retailer may have them within the next two to three weeks.

"Good Retailers" are pretty scarce in this hemisphere. My nearest retailer is 1000km away - their list price for a Gotha is $50 plus postage, on sale for $32.50.

[Angiolillo]

Any news on availability in any online shops, anyone?

I found them in these German shops:

https://www.siclarium.de/shop/product_info.php/products_id/1482756/cPath///wings-of-glory-bag-of-100-additional-flight-stands-wga501.html

[Naharaht]

If these pegs are 'production over-runs', does that mean that the quantity will be limited and there may not be enought to reach all parts of the world? Also will Ares not produce any more bags of pegs once hese are gone?

[Angiolillo]

I have no details about how they were produdced and quantities. But if there is demand, they will be produced again.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

That is good news Andrea. I'm sure there will be a demand for them judging by the groundswell of opinion just on the Drome site alone.
Rob.

[Oberst Hajj]

Ares told me initially that they were just over-run production parts. However, as with anything, if sale are good they will continue them. There is also a LOT of the bags out there. I don't think we have to worry about them not reaching all the countries.

[Dom S]

That's welcome news, thanks.

[Guntruck]

Well, if you do get hold of some Dom, put me down for a bag or three.

[Niclas]

I wouldn't say no to some Dom either, but I prefer mine in a glass...

/Niclas

[HTRAINo]

I used up a couple of pegs on 'customizing'. A very welcome addition to many methinks.

[Dom S]

OK chaps, will make a note, thanks.

[Timmo UK]

If they come in at a reasonable price I'll definitely have a bag from you Dom.

[flash]

I'll go for a bag if you can get them Dom - and I might have to buy a plane and some more decals to go with them !

[Jager]

Alliance Dis has it in their catalog (though it's listed as 100 flight stands :D)
No sku number or price yet, but that's a start.
Karl

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I will also take a bag of pegs from you Dom.
Rob.

Ares calls them flight stands... not pegs and the suggested retail price is $4.99. I should have them on the AA site this coming week or next.

[Jager]

Great! :thumbsup:
Karl

[Grey Knight]

I'll take the pegs,pass on the eggs

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I'll take the pegs,pass on the eggs

I agree Chuck. It was a very bad yolk the first time round.

G'day Keith!
So I presume you have ordered them.
Can we put up a pre-order yet?
I definately want 2 packs.:D

[Oberst Hajj]

I'll try and add them to the site this week as a pre-order along with another new product ;)

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Great stuff Keith.
I will also place an order with you.
Rob.

[Doug]

Keith can I place a pre-order for 2 bags. Doug

[brucewallace]

And 4 bags for me, please.
Bruce

[Oberst Hajj]

They are up on the site for pre-order now along with these:

62430

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I like those flames Herr Oberst! Now what took you so long.;)
Pre order sent for pegs, and I have added on some of your glue to my order.
Rob.

[Jager]

Wicked looking flame:thumbsup:
Too bad I don't play with balloons.
Peg order sent, though. Thanks.
Karl

[pstapleton53]

Just ordered four bags for myself.

Pat

[Oberst Hajj]

Look what showed up on my door step today... on Columbus Day no less!

62492

Looks like these are no longer on Pre-order and will be shipping out tomorrow afternoon.

[Oberst Hajj]

Rob.

Humm, life? lol

I'm going to have a go at bending the tips of my personal set up similar to yours. It's not really practical on the sets that I sell as it would be really hard/expensive to ship. They are already really big and will have to go in boxes, and not the normal padded envelopes I normally use.

[pstapleton53]

Sweeto! Glad I put my order in earlier!

Pat

[wargamer]

Well well, order up for pegs and a glue.... nice arrivals :)

[Baron Rolf]

Thanks Keith I really needed a bag of pegs and flightstands , one step closer to having my customs on the tabletop :thumbsup:

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Well those should do for me! When are the pegs for the rest of you coming?:lol:
Rob.

[Oberst Hajj]

Well those should do for me! When are the pegs for the rest of you coming?:lol:
Rob.

Sorry rob, but only ten of those bags are for sell, the rest our mine, all mine!!! lol

[Doug]

Ordered 2 bags for myself, and that is just the start. I will probably have to order more for my sons and son-in-law when they work out what they need. :lol:

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Sorry rob, but only ten of those bags are for sell, the rest our mine, all mine!!! lol

Bit short on the manic laughter bit there Boss.;)
Rob.

[Oberst Hajj]

Bit short on the manic laughter bit there Boss.;)
Rob.

Well, I am at work and I'd hate for them to think I'm crazier then they already do!!

[Oberst Hajj]

Notice to UK shoppers

For some reason the shipping is be calculated incorrectly for the altitude pegs. I should have this sorted out some time this morning. Once I do, I'll contact you about either refunding the excess shipping, or putting something extra into your order.

Sorry about this!

[LewdDude]

I ordered mine yesterday... Glad I didn't hesitate by the looks of the interest...lol

Cant wait!

S!~

[Oberst Hajj]

The shipping problem has been fixed and I'll work on the refunds after I get some sleep :crash: :sleep:

[Oberst Hajj]

All required partial shipping refunds have been made. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

[BobP]

I see another preorder. I think I will wait and see what happens if I order them.

[Naharaht]

I have ordered a bag of pegs.

[gully_raker]

:thumbsup: Great News!
Just ordered 2 Bags.

[Burt]

Infinity Games in the UK now has bags of pegs for £4.29 delivered.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Still waiting for my bag to arrive, will this over sight include my order?

[BobP]

I have my bag of pegs and I see where they are offering the bomber pegs now. Another order

Thanks for the heads up Don. Might be worth mentioning on the U.K. Sub Forum.

Is this just on the Ares site, or have you another source Bob?
Rob.

[Naharaht]

My local games shop owner told me that he will be receiving some bags of pegs next week.

[Captain Chum]

Got me a couple of bags. ;)

[Waxfrance]

I've taken two bags. Very useful. And just perfect, today, i'm teaching Wings of Glory with a new pilot ! Cheers !

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

mine arrived last Tuesday, just in time to replace the pegs I've lost and butchered for the gimbal mounts.
