The new MU-Type system!
MU-Type system
Most of you have mentioned being interested in more than our current MUGs when reaching a certain threshold or just interested in more Gundam themed swag overall. Since all our merch is made-to-order inhouse and we do not like cutting corners, we had to take some time to plan and prepare what our future step would be.
While we are happy with our current cashback system (MLPS) it also felt like we could improve on it and try to give back something more appealing. We also understand that those of you who have walked this path along us for such a long time have cabinets full of MUGs and may be more interested in other rewards.
Furthermore, our current MLPS is a bit of a nightmare, especially for end-users when trying to grab the free MUG due to different VAT % applicable on all the countries we ship to. This is also a failure on our part for not conveying it properly and so, we also take advantage of this announcement to apology for any misunderstandings or issues you may have had when dealing with it!
With those two main reasons combined, the brand MU-Type program was born. The previous cashback system will be rolled into it and revamped. On every purchase you make, you will get a number of points which dependant on the product since they are also % based, that you can then use to grab free goodies, such as HG kits, paints and brushes or other seasonal goodies we may offer during special campaigns.
While the highest bracket of MLPS capped at a 5% cashback, our new system will instead go up to 10% which is the % it will launch at!
Furthermore, the new MU-Type points can be used on the same purchase you are acquiring them! So, if you want that extra kit, you can get it with the same order that makes you eligible for it.
Your current MLPS will obviously be there as we transition to this new system, but you will no longer earn them on every purchase. They will be your store credit that you can acquire via reviews special events or small tokens of gratitude and similar use cases.
As this system, neither MLPS nor MU-Type have an expiration date, so you may cash them out whenever you prefer.
Below, you will find a quick FAQ about the system if you prefer it that way!
As always, we thank you for your continued support all over the years and we hope we can be your first stop when looking for model kits.
