IMPACT! MINIATURES

Hi,
just bought Siringit team 4, and I know that loads of people love these miniatures. Could you put together a team deal with none of the "fat boys" ie lions, cheetahs, mekats, hyenas? This could work as some sort of elf team, then.

Keep up the good work!
Mike

PS Impact dice cups would be cool.

All the dice cups I've priced so far just cost so much that we could not sell them for a profit.

Unfortunately being a business means that you have to be able to markup the price by a certain amount before you can pull the trigger on certain cool things.

As for a team deal with just furry creatures ... that is basically team deal #5.

Although as an advertising tool used at, say a great big FF tourney, for people that aren't aware of Impact, that might pay long-term?

I think we would need to sponsor a monster tourney (like 100 or so attendees) for that to be viable

There are plastic dice cups for around $1.50 retail. Get some Impact decals printed and affix them.

And here's a place that prints them.

Just a thought.

But there's still the problem of Americans not using them. My game group still looks at me funny when I use mine. Even at the Vampire table when I'm rolling 7 or 8 dice.

they're probably looking at you funny for a whole lot of other reasons Eric..

BTW,

great offer - but we still have to fork out $750 up front and then hope we could sell 250 of them - would probably take 3 or more years to shift that much stock, even if we sold them at cost..
