Hobby Maniacs - Thanks for making it to my Patreon page. For over SIX years we have brought you some of the best unboxings, product reviews, and tutorials out there!

For less than the cost of a few pots of paint, or an iced coffee, you can help support what we do here, and get a swag crate box of miniatures shipped to your every month as well!

Every month after your first, you will receive a box of rewards swag valued at the total amount you just pledged.

You even get to set the factions and game systems that you would prefer to receive for you support, so you can tailor you reward level and shipments to your most current gaming needs.

What comes in a monthly rewards swag shipment? Take a look at an one of our rewards shipments for the $200 level (minus fees):

Rewards come both new in box and also on sprue, and are always packed with hobby love!

It's like the Robin Hood of support, except for you get what you give... back in rewards!

All items are drawn from our Spikey Bits Miniature Vault of products that we've showcased in past video unboxings as well as new releases- so you know you'll be getting some fresh swag back each month from us just for being a supporter.

Generally each month we have a new sponsor that sends us a ton of swag to share with YOU our most passionate supporters! But that's not all, no sir!

When can I expect my first shipment of SWAG for signing up?

You will get your rewards for becoming a supporter the same month after signing up for support. Remember even though you get billed immediately for your support, we ship towards the end of the month for everyone as a whole.

PLEASE NOTE: Patreon will debit you for your next month of support starting on the FIRST OF EACH MONTH! So in some cases you will get two charges on your account before you get your first box of swag from us. Do not be alarmed, you will get a second swag shipment towards the end of the next month shipped out to you as well!

I don't play 40k, what else can I get?

If you want a certain brand or type of minis (we default to 40k and 40k type swag) like X-Wing, Armada, or Age of Sigmar just message us when you register to let us know, and we'll make it happen for you. Even if we didn't review that type of product that month we got your back, and will get you something fresh for signing up in your first swag bag!

When will I get billed for my support?

Patreon charges supporter's cards starting on the 1st of the month though the 5th of each month. If your support is declined, do not fret - it will charge you once you update your payment info from that decline. Easy Peasey.

Do you ship out swag internationally?

Yes we sure do, we've become exceedingly efficient in shipping internationally.

There is no shipping "upcharge" for being international. Everyone receives 85% of their support level each month after Patreon and shipping fees are taken out!.

We will also mark your package as a "Gift" for customs declarations as support falls under that category!

Note about VAT & Fees - rewards are technically gifts, that's how we will mark shipments overseas! Also we take 15% out of your support to pay Patreon's fees, and cover the costs of shipping your items to you, which across the board is only about $5-9 for most folks pledging $60 a month or less.

If I am a current supporter can I just cancel and resign up to get the "new swag" that you are giving away?

We prefer you did not, no. However most current supporters will get some of the "new swag" of the month back in their shipments that month regardless, as long as you're pledging $60 a month or more.

Can I cancel my support anytime?

Of course. If you do decide to cancel, please forward us your final receipt email from Patreon when you get it to support AT spikeybits.com (the one titled: Thank you for supporting Rob Baer on Patreon!) and we'll get your shipment out with the rest of the swag we ship to supporters at the end of the month.

Please also include your final name in the email if it is not apparent from your email profile as well too!

How do I ensure I get a box of free swag EVERY month?

Currently if you pledge the $60 a month support level, you will get a box of swag from us each month after your initial shipment. Keep in mind that while the $30 level is great for folks on a budget, you will only get a swag shipment in the mail Four times a year (quarterly)!

We may in the future change it up a bit, but for now that is the most cost effective way for us to get something to everyone who wants to help support us each month.

Can I get my support refunded?

Generally we do not refund support because of the way Patreon's interface requires us to click on each video post and scroll (not search) though every pledge and click refund individually.

If you do need a refund for you support pledge please message us and we'll see what we can do if there are extenuating circumstances involved that are not covered on the FAQ. But please be aware it is something that can take a week complete at the very least, if it is warranted.

We apologize but we are unable to refund supporters for anything that has already been shipped out.

Be sure to checkout our Patreon page / emails for updates, and new video features every few days!

Thanks again for all your support!

*Remember we take out 15% for shipping and Patreon's fee for each shipment as well. Bits are when available, we don't have left over parts every month, sorry.

* *New 8th Edition squads (Intercessor, Hellblaster, Inceptor Squad or Nurgle Plague Marines, Pox Walkers Foetid Bloat Drone squads ) or Characters (Primaris Lieutenants, Ancient, Captain in Gravis Armor, or Nurgle Lord of Contagion, Noxious Blightbringer, Malignant Plaguecaster) from the Dark Imperium box will come on the sprue and are shipped to each supporter based on which faction they pick when they message us back with their swag preferences.
