December Mini of the Month – Zoners Gonk

With Krampus still flying his slay across the Atlantic, our free Mini of the Month for December is the alternate pose Zoners Gonk. If there’s a gang who always needs more Gonks, it’s the Zoners and this one’s certainly dressed for the harsh weather.

To get one, order any Monster Fight Club product(s) during December we’ll add a Zoners Gonk into the delivery. As it’s holiday season, we’ll also extend this to anyone buying R Talsorian’s Cyberpunk RPG products too!

The EU’s General Product Safety Regulation

In front of an EU flag, with the circle of gold stars on a blue background, the gold text reads "Important News for EU/EEA & Northern Ireland Customers", relating to the EU's General Product Safety Regulation

By now you may have started to see messages from other smaller games producers and retailers about the European Union’s GPSR – General Product Safety Regulation. This is a new law that comes in next month which places demands on companies selling products to the EU and associated areas. These new requirements are currently expensive to comply with, have serious penalties if you fail to meet them and more than a little unclear.

Changes to UK Delivery Charges

Hi chooms. We’ve made some changes to UK delivery charges so I just wanted to explain what they are and why we’ve made them. It’s not the most riveting topic so I’ll try and keep it short.

October 27th is Shiny Games’ anniversary, so it’s time for another ‘state of the company’ post. It’s mixed news and big changes this year, so I’ll try and keep this clear and to the point. Finally, we’ve got details of our Shiny Day sale to tempt you into celebrating with us.

Shiny Games Christmas Posting 2022

We’re happy to say that during the busy run-up to Christmas we’ve been able to keep the orders flowing out swiftly. Unfortunately the combination of the Christmas post and Royal Mail staff strikes has meant that some orders are taking longer than they should to arrive, and the tracking information is not always kept updated.

Shiny Games Day: 7 Years of Shiny Games

Shiny Games is seven years old today, so it seemed like a good point to reflect on where we are and where we’re going in the next year (or seven).

27th October 2015

While Shiny Games didn’t begin overnight, the company officially came into being on 27th October 2015. That was the point it was declared to be more than just a nice idea, or wishful thinking. The idea was to support great games that were hard to find in the United Kingdom. This seemed especially true of many good skirmish games, but we knew it needed to include roleplaying games too.

Fantasy Flight/Asmodee Price Rises from Feb

We’ve had notification from our main supplier that the prices and RRPs (Recommended Retail Prices) on some Asmodee/Fantasy Flight games will increase from 1st February 2022.

For recent products, this is mostly to bring existing products in line with recent price rises for newer releases, so it’s not another price rise on top of recent price rises. Still, for older books these changes are quite significant; for the Star Wars RPG books, for example, the rise to RRP will be £8-9 per book!
