Title: New Glorious Empires website
Post by: jacques2 on May 24, 2015, 05:07:54 PM
Hello All,

After a long absence, due to my previous site being hacked and destroyed, I am now working on a new site, or a better name would be an e-commerce shop...
My daughter helped choose the set-up and helped with the geeky stuff, we are shooting and loading over 1000 figures now and hope to have the English version ready by the end of May.
After that there will be a French and a German version, more about that later.
There will be more than 600 x 54mm figures (many never before seen), over 30 vignettes and 500 plus 30mm figures including most of the sets that were sold off 4/6 years ago and have not been available since.
I invite you all to have a look at the shop now, I have left it open to get helpfull advice, constructive opinions and ideas.

As before the adress is: www.gloriousempires.com
As a teaser I have included a photo of 1 of the new 54mm sets to celebrate Waterloo..

Looking forward to hear your opinions,

Jacques.

I went to the site and it looks very interesting!

I notice that the flashing images at the top causes the rest of the page contents below to move up or down, depending on the size of the image being flashed. You may wish to stabilise this feature.

Fantastic site, but it opened onoly prpgressively as I was questionning it, so not wth immediate access to all figures ;; I thought it was only starting with a few... So keep moving around, and ore and more are coming up.
 
The painted figures are absolutely magnificient !!!!!!!!

No flashing images for me, but I don't think the site is fully operational. There still some place holder data from the developers that suggest what to put in certain areas about the business, a blog, etc.


I'll wait for the inevitable flood of 54mm+ fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, and 1940s - 1960s era pinup girls. I'm thinking 'Glorious Babes'.  8)

Well were in business!  the last new figures are being keyed in, the shop works, the orders are coming in.
as I read through the system manuals I discover more functions so it can only get better...
