For those who are interested. The Russians and Chechens are coming along nicely. I'm hoping these will be the first dedicated Chechens released in 15mm! Modern Australians 300+
Eastern European NATO infantry 300+
Current Chechen Rebels 400+
Current Russian Infantry 500+
Current PLA (Chinese Communist) Infantry 200+
Current French Infantry 1+
Busmaster APC 1+

So what's the magic number for the 300 club these days? Dan |

600 is the official #, but it depends on the owner of Eureka minis. Sometimes he starts a project early even though it hasnt hit the required 600.
The following is an example:

Only 400+ ordered but going into production.
From what I know, Eureka has 2 regular sculptors. It would also depend on their schedules and whether they were interested in the proposed line. I would say the Modern Russians look pretty certain to go into production some time in 2011. The others, I wont hold my breath unless there are significant changes in the lists. I would love to see the Modern Nato (Poles for me) and PLA produced, but mostly I'm hoping for Russians & Chechens! |

thanks for the head-up, Uesugi. Could you explain what we need to do? I'd like to sign up for some Chechens and Russian troops. |

You hop over to the Eureka website and place an order for whatever items on the 300 club section grab your attention. When they hit production, you'll get an email confirming your purchase. Also, if the packaging has changed (like it did for the SciFi Germans), you'll get an email asking how many of each new pack you want. |

Please note that the Danish and Swedish Napoleonics hit the magic 600+ years ago, but are still not available. |

Helmet101, exactly as Lion states. Just place an order for any(!) number of figures you are interested in at the Eureka site and you will get a confirmation email when the line is set to go into pre-production. If you have any problems ordering on their site just send them (or me!) an email. They are very helpful. Glad you are interested in the Modern Russians and Chechens. I think they will both be successful mini lines if produced. Redcurrant, sorry to hear about the Nappies! |

Please note that the Danish and Swedish Napoleonics hit the magic 600+ years ago, but are still not available. Nic also needs at least 10 separate people placing orders to convince him of commercial viability. I need about 500 napoleonics for my Brit forces alone, so it's probable that there's only a couple people that placed an order for the Danes and Swedes. |

A very true and important point Lion! My 15mm Huaxtecs are passed 600 orders but only from 8 customers so no dice for me on those yet! I would guess thats the same for the Nappies hold up. Nic is usually very forthcoming with info on whats holding up a particular range when you ask him. |

I don't know how Nic's costs work out, but I just did a rough calculation that we need to sell about 130 packs before they have covered costs and start generating any profit – profit which we use to start paying for the next set of masters. And that is based on a single pack with 3 poses. If you're looking at 8 individual poses then it's more like 300 packs, and if you are looking at a range (so something like 8-10 packs) then it could be as high as 800 packs… |
says these Possessed Zombies would lend themselves well to a zombie game based on the world of the Evil Dead movies.
