I am in for one scatter and one artillery. (Got the rest of what I needed when I did the last order. )Not sure what you mean by variations, but what happened last time was any "style" or "dice category" (see first post in this thread for all four choices), no matter the colour, counted together towards the pricing. So 300 green 1-custom siders plus 250 ivory 1-custom siders meant that we paid for 550 1-costom siders total. In that way, we all saved money at the time because our orders jumped pricing bands. The reason I had limited colour choices was for my own sanity. As Mahtobedis mentioned, once the pricing started decreasing, more folks started joining and the existing orders increased. Because we skaven are an opportunistic lot, I reckon.

to hopefully make things easier on us all. If you feel like it go ahead and fill this out. I can't imagine it would hurt us to know what everyone is thinking in some more clear format: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnkK6E3F2AdAdDZKSi1ud3N6R19ILWNTc09JN1RfN2c only fill out the specific dice numbers (i.e. 1 sided, 6 sided, artillery and scatter) the rest is automatic. Also, this is my suggestion for a color: http://wondertrail.com/images/detailed/14/CHX25310.jpg EXCITING UPDATE: I've added what people have said they want, and we're definitely in the 58% discount range, maybe more. Feel free to double check it or add some more! Edited by Scar3crow3, 10th January 2012 - 11:41 PM.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. Firstly let me say we are certianly getting some decent interest in the order and that is going to be good for everyone. Thanks also to Nurglitch for his insight from the previous order and Scarecrow for the spreadsheet he lovingly created. I have not managed to get in contact with the supplier at this stage as my e-mail has been playing up for some reason... Is anyone else having troubles sending messages through hotmail recently? I have however drafted a request for availability and pricing on all 4 designs and will post their response as soon as I have one for you. I am also estimated requesting shipping costs as well as the colour combinations available to us for the order. Will be back with more info in the next day or two. |

Two international issues that you need to consider. Last time, Nurglitch recruited a couple of people to be the international 'hubs' (one in Oz, one in EU, and one in Canada as I recall). He broke the dice out into the correct bundles, then sent these bundles to the hub person, who then sent the individual packets of dice on to their final destinations. That seemed to work (Rusty?), so you'd perhaps want to try to repeat the process, assuming that there are non-U.S. orders in this batch. Second, there was something of an issue with the cost of the international shipments being spread across all (including the U.S.) orders. I think that some people were a bit unhappy about this, but I thought it reasonable. Without having the domestic orders help to pay for the shipping of the international orders, the international ones might have been prohibitively expensive; and without the international orders there would have been fewer overall orders and so the purchase cost for all of us would have been higher. But it is something that you probably need to consider, and be clear as to how to handle it this time around. Thank you again for being brave enough to take this effort on! I hope that it works out, I really like the scatter dice. |

Great to see this thread is still very much alive. Scar3crow3 I love the dice colour you suggested, runic and other-worldly. As a non-US orderer I would be happy to pay a little more provided that doesn't double the cost or something for my order. I've just finished undercoating the last 60 rats in my 2.5k army. They needs some shiny rocks to roll in combat

@ Skavendrool: Thanks. I have considered both these points and will organise hubs as soon as I get an idea of shipping costs. While I have had a moment once or twice around Christmas where I went "I so don't want to do this - I need another drink" I got over it pretty quick. It will be done @tkohlmetz: Thanks, I will keep you in mind when the time comes. Finally @farthestgoose (and Scare3crow3): I love the dice you have sugessted but what I have got from the supplier so far is that we are a little limited in terms of colour. They seem to only offer custom pieces in very standard colours but I will of course confirm for sure before I put my foot in it. Mutate: Again @ Skavendrool: I am inclined to agree that the domestic members can bear a little of the international shipping cost for other members as it is the combination of international's as well as the domestic's orders that are bringing the price down for everyone. So it seems only fair to me that in turn everyone should be okay with sharing a small amount of the cost so all can have their share - I know I am. Edited by Grinner, 11th January 2012 - 11:43 PM.

Same goes for me... 30ish of the 6 sided ones, and 2 of each the artillery and scatter dice I don't care about the color. When/if order is placed I'll happily prepay all expenses through Pay-pal... And thank the guy who goes through all that trouble for us.

D6 with one custom side (6th side):![]() Current price not yet quoted - approx $0.45 each D6 with 6 custom sides: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Current price - $3.60 each Artillery dice with 6 custom sides: ![]() Current price - $4.50 each Scatter dice with 6 custom sides: ![]() Current price - $4.50 each Remember the more we get in each design brings the price lower and lower. Below I have posted some links to a few of my favourites for the colour options. Ideally I would like to go with no more than 2, maybe 3 options for each design but I will organise a vote or similar later on the remaining colours http://chessex.com/Dice/Vortex/Green.htm - These are available for the 1 custom sided D6 only. http://chessex.com/Dice/Speckled%20pages/25325.htm - I like these ones for the six custom sided D6 http://chessex.com/Dice/Speckled%20pages/25311.htm , http://chessex.com/Dice/Speckled%20pages/25318.htm - Was thinking these would be good for artillery/scatter. Keep the interest rolling in. Will keep everyone posted as price drops through each band. Can't remember who it was but someone posted the following prices earlier which seem to be current accorsing to the supplier: 10-25 dice: $1.00 per side 26-99 dice: $0.75 per side 100-199 dice: $0.60 per side 200-499 dice: $0.50 per side 500-999 dice: $0.42 per side 1000+: please ask for quotes Edited by Grinner, 19th January 2012 - 10:45 AM.
