Current status: not yet in production
hexodic’s physical edition is engineered and costed but not manufactured. No tooling has been cut. This page exists so the terms are on the record and so a shop can register interest with a real order sheet rather than an email that gets lost — not because stock is sitting in a warehouse.
No order placed today will be fulfilled today. A purchase order sent now is a statement of interest at a stated quantity, which is genuinely useful: demonstrated demand is what unlocks a production run, and it is the thing this project does not yet have.
Discount structure
These follow the standard the hobby trade already uses, so there are no surprises in either direction:
| Buying as | Discount off MSRP | You pay |
|---|---|---|
| Distributor | 60–65% | 35–40% of MSRP |
| Retailer, direct from us | 45–50% | 50–55% of MSRP |
Retailers buying direct pay more than a distributor and get a shorter chain; distributors take a deeper discount and carry the warehousing and the retail relationships. Both are normal.
Returns. There are none. A shop that stocks a title which does not sell is stuck with it, and that is true across the trade — it is why we would rather you order a small first quantity that sells through than a large one that sits. Order shallow, reorder often.
Minimums and lead time
- Retailer direct: 6 units minimum, in multiples of 6.
- Distributor: by discussion — quantities at that level change the manufacturing decision itself rather than fitting inside it.
- Lead time: from a cut tool, roughly 4–6 weeks manufacturing plus 4–6 weeks ocean freight. From a standing start with no tooling, add the tool: 2–4 weeks for aluminium bridge tooling, 6–12 weeks for steel.
Those are honest ranges, not promises. Until a moulder is engaged and a tool exists, every date is an estimate.
Purchase order
A printable, fillable purchase order sheet is at /trade/purchase-order. It works entirely in your browser, calculates line and order totals from the quantity and discount you select, and prints or saves as PDF. Nothing is transmitted anywhere — you send the finished sheet yourself, to the address printed on it.
