Siringit teamsHi,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. |

Re: Siringit teams
Guessed that would happen. Are they available? |

Only in photoshop.

if only the production costs weren't so high...

What about a limited ed of say 100... how much would they cost? |
||||

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. Galak |

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.
http://www.gmdice.com/proddetail.php?prod=DC-04192 And here's a place that prints them. http://www.gameparts.net/dice_cup.htm 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,
http://www.gameparts.net/dice_cup.htm 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..

I am playing a Nosferatu who was a politician in his former life. I do a Bill Clinton voice for him and I gave him an attraction to some very nasty tastes. We were in a goth/emo club and I was obfuscated in the women's bathroom. I told the GM, "Orlando waits until a fat girl comes in to take a poop and then I feed on her in the stall while she does it." Everybody goes, "BAH! Gross!" and as we left the bathroom Orlando turns to the Assamite and says, "I'm not just ugly on the outside. "

I rest my case... so, those Siringit models, cool, huh?
|
||||
| sann0638 |
Good point, well made. Guess I wanted one without warthog and water buffalo, but easy to adjust it with individual models. Cheers. |

Are those plastic cups felt lined? If not then using them as an advertising tool might be a bad idea, as there would probably be a good sized group that was annoyed by the noise. | ||||

failing which, send Tom a PM or e-mail with exactly what you want - we're pretty flexible as a rule... |
||||

If you send an email immediately after you order and are substituting equal prices figures in the same range ... we can normally take care of this with no problems.
By same range I mean a Siringit figure of equal cost for another Siringit figure. I've had people try to sub a Black Widow figure in .... and that I don't do. Galak |
