While DM Sothal is probably correct, the best way to find the cost of shipping a thing to you is to add it to your card and begin the checkout process. Once you're provided your address and chosen a shipping method, you'll be told exactly what the shipping cost will be before you have to commit to purchasing the item(s).

Forgive me if I overlooked this, but is there any difference between this one (2015) and the previous one (2013) ?
The only differences between the last few printings would have been the graphic design but otherwise the elements within the product should be identical.
Our new printing will have an extra sheet of magnets included to help give the product enough bulk to give the packaging a spine and help justify the price increase (that and our manufacturing costs have increased since the previous printing).

From here:
FYI, the purpose of the “Next Round” magnet is simply to be a visual reminder to advance the “Round Arrow” magnet. I would always forget… Now, when I see “Turn Arrow” magnet point at “Next Round”, I automatically advance the “Round Arrow”. I know a lot of people that don’t use it, which is fine by me. I like it though – I don’t really have to think, I just do what the magnet tells me to!

I can't find the product page, but last week, I ordered the extra magnet pack. The ones in that pack are NOT the ones that are pictured. The ones pictured are shorter, with small arrows on the right side of the magnet (I don't mean the arrow markers themselves, but the red, blue, and green ones.)
The pack I received were larger magnets that were black, blue, and green, and they do not match the ones I already have.
Really disappointed.

We have an Extra Magnet Pack here. We have graphically redesigned the Combat Pad since this pack was made, so you'll find the magnets *not* identical, to the ones pictured above. They are similar, though.
I wish I had seen this before ordering. The ones I got are terrible. The turn/round/end of round markers have text that is nearly illegible.
I'm confused as to which ones the redesigned ones are - are the redesigned ones the ones without the small arrow indicators on the side of the magnet? The ones with the arrows were far better, I think, and a lot nicer.
So, if I order a whole new combat pad, which will the magnets look like? If they aren't going to be the ones that are pictured in the item, you should put up an image of the new ones then.

The listing for the Extra Magnet Pack is here. It doesn't show you what the magnets look like at all; I'll see about getting that changed; at the very lest, we'll put some text on the product page that says they match the older design of the product.
If you order a new Combat Pad, the magnets will look like the images here.
If you're unhappy with what you received, please let Customer Service know—they're there to help!

I love the look of the new pad (it's the one I have, I was just trying to order an extra magnet pack of those same magnets, but what I got were not those magnets.
I'll contact CS.
Thanks, Vic!

We didn't make an Extra Magnet Pack for the new version, which has a lot more magnets to begin with. (The old one had 8 blue, 8 black, and 4 green, while the new one has 13 blue, 13 red, and 9 green.)
(Also, the ratio of Extra Magnet Packs to Combat Pads sold in the prior version was pretty darn low, as evidenced by the fact we still have lots of the old Extra Magnet Packs, while the old Combat Pad is long gone.)

Some fodder for thoughts here:
All singular pawns have a purple number printed on them. For multiple pawns of the same type then comes red(dish) for the 2nd, then blue for the 3rd and finally green for the 4th.
The combat pad magnets come in: red, blue and green.
So while the color purple is the most prevalent one for pawns it is not represented on the combat pad at all. Too bad. I think more colors would have been better than 13x the same color.
I solve this by putting little (8 mm) colored stickers on the pawn bases and the same sticker on the combat pad magnets. So colors on the bases match colors on the pad.

The Starfinder Combat Pad has light blue, orange and dark blue pads.
You could mix them.;-)

Of course, but not as much as setting up intellectual traps for you to fall in :)

Are the blue player character magnets in this product the same color as the dark blue non-player character magnets from the Starfinder Combat Pad? They look to be different. Want to confirm cause monitor colors can skew colors a bit.
Yes, both types of blue magnets in the SF version are lighter than the blue ones in the PF version.

Thanks for the hint! I went with the sticker approach and am quite happy with it. No more asking: "Who's Ghoul 1 or 2?"
And while I was at it I also invested (too much money) in magnetic status markers. No more asking: "Which Ghoul was the more injured one?"

What would be awesome, is an pack of just the magnets, like a booster pack. Mostly of enemy colours.
Open Mind Games, who created the first Combat Pad, offered an Extra Magnet Pack that's still available.
The magnets are a slightly different design—you can see them in this image... but having more ways to differentiate characters might actually be a good thing.
