Coins and variety
So first is the coin. I get it, you collect money up front for credits to be used later. Unused credits mean unused money in your pocket. Maybe this is to not deal with exchange rates, but it feels scammy. I’m not saying it’s a scam! I’m saying it’s the same feeling when using the system. I never purchased anything before (didn’t even browse much) because I immediately recognized the inevitability of my money not being used 100% (having one or more coins left over). Disney doesn’t even do Disney Bucks anymore, a small group of modelers shouldn’t either. I took advantage of a free offer, and that’s likely where my experience with purchasing from Atlas ends. Next is selection. The art is very nice, but you’re missing striking a chord in me. It’s not a criticism, I’m only pointing out that the variety could use some expansion. I’m into fantasy but more masculine themes. I found it difficult to find something I really wanted to paint. EDIT: I never implied you were robbing people or intended to. Converting money to a symbolic representation and using that representation to purchase simply means people will be left with your coins, which leaves their money on the table. It’s a result of such systems, simple as that. Also a note to future readers, I didn’t ask for a refund or any compensation. This review is one of dissatisfied using the site and browsing goods. Buy as much as you want from these guys, I’m not suggesting you do otherwise.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you missed the point of our coin system, which is not as you say to capture your lost money but rather a way for us to easily pair models with resin, i will have to work better at visually communicating that. We have gone out of our way to make sure ppl are in point of fact not left with hanging coins. Additionally, if you had taken a chance to look into us, you would have found we have an option for those who wish to pay straight cash, we have a My Mini factory store, like the rest of the market. The implication that we are attempting to rob ppl is offensive, but I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, your just letting us know your preferences right? I am sorry that your free coins left you unsatisfied and that you find our art not to your liking, i will endeavor to ensure we remove you from our mailing lists so you aren't bothered by our art again. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review - I'd offer to refund you, but you haven't even payed us anything.
