Competition: Guess the best selling figs of 2007!

brownrob · Competition: Guess the best selling figs of 2007!

what were the top 3 best selling figs and teams from last year?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Could have a "just for fun" competition

***Edited out silly guesses before I knew this was a more serious competition!

I don't track team sales.

I do track figure sales.

Okay prize will be a new Impact! Minotaur with all 5 heads coming out at the beginning of February.

We'll do this like the GenCon contest.

Guess what you think the top 5 selling pewter figurines were (no guessing either of the base weights) for 2007. I'll add up how many miniatures actually sold for your guess and that will be your score.

Good luck.

I'll allow the contest to run through the 10th of January.

Only posts to this thread will be considered. Please do NOT duplicate exactly someone's 5 guesses.

And here's the tough decision for you all ... when was a figure introduced ... how popular was it. And if it came out in 2006... did it still sell well in 2007 or did most folks get it in 2006 ... is being available for 12 months offsetting to having already been bought?

Do the GenCon top sales figures (which were published on the forums) ... give any hints?

Interesting.

Added up the scores of the first 5 guesses to see who was in the lead to win. Right now there is a 266 point spread between 1st and 5th.

Will be very interesting to see how this all ends up.

I'll ask folks not to change their votes from now on ... I've given out the only hints (or were they hints???) that I'll give. The only reason I posted the response that I did that Dark Lord referred to as hints was because I wanted to keep the playing field level for information for newer folks to the Impact! forums. Doesn't mean that information is the key to the puzzle... just wanted to be sure the contest was even and fair.

Sort of all eggs in one basket here, putting 4 of my five as the Vikhotira's team. But what the hey I think that team is the best set of mini's in the store (my opinion anyway)

(I was going to chuck in the Goblin commentator as a dark horse but IIRC he hasn't been in the store for that long)

Darkson

Hey, I didn't call him that first - I just think it fits...

Of course, in the same vein (all meant in humour):

"Don't you dare step on my contact lense!"

lahatiel

And now the Thoth is huddled in the corner, crying and scribbling out a poem about how no one understands him... see what you've done?

On another note ... last day for guesses on this one guys!

There is a clear leader at this point in the guesses ... but there is a still a good margin where said leader could be beaten.

Contest over!

Congrats to GreedySmurf .. please feel free to contact us with your address to ship the Minotaur to.

And for Stout .... we'll it looks like you used all your mojo on the last competition.

And no ... I'm not going to say what the sales were of each figure. Because I want this contest to be a little more interesting next year ...

Thanks to everyone who took the time to make a guess.

Highest possible score was 1828 (so there was a lot of room for someone to get higher).

Here were the final results:
