Wait, they own the molds already but still need money to produce the figures? I assume they mean they need to buy casting equipment? Dunno, just sounds a little odd to me. |

Here is last week's thread from the KS organizer, who never returned to answer any questions. TMP link |

My question remains….if you already own the molds why do you need to do a kickstarter? Open a web shop and cast to order…. |

10 guys for $30 USD with shipping. Hmmm You think they could have at least painted them. 30 of their guys for $90. USD 30 Bolt Action guys for $41. USD Granted, there plastic, but half price. |

EC: my point exactly in the referenced thread. |

Is it just me or do the numbers not add up for his last Kickstarter? Weird. |

Could simply be to enable them to make the initial stock – both metal and time – before sales start to cover the costs. |

I noticed that "19th Century Miniatures" joined TMP last week. Maybe one of the Steves could shed some light on the subject. |
| Dave Jackson | 08 Apr 2016 7:37 a.m. PST |
Joe, thx, I thought I recognized the figures! I thought both Steves had stepped back form running the company and handed it over to Jason. N'est-ce pas? |
| Hafen von Schlockenberg | 08 Apr 2016 8:42 a.m. PST |
Could be,I haven't seen them in several years. I see they just put their Quality Casting molds on the Marketplace. Maybe they sold the WWII to these guys. |

Huh. It was there this morning. Did anyone else see it,or was I hallucinating? |

This topic is everywhere… Again, I would imagine there is a lot of start up cost taking on a line this size and maybe trying to re-coup some of the buy in so I can see why a KS. Looks like the $85.00 USD deal is the best if I am looking at this correctly… 4 x 10 man infantry squad
1 x 3 man command squad
1 x 4 man mortar team
1 x 4 man Anti-tank rifle team (1 team moving & one deployed)
1 x 2 man tank hunter team That is not bad, about a $1.60 USD USD not including the other loose parts. link |

I wonder if Henry Ford would've ever gotten his car business off the ground if he had to rely on a kick starter program? Whatever happened to good old American self investment, mortgage the house, borrow money from the parents or a bank.? Maybe I'm just a little sour on the KS business as the last time (first time) I tried this, the product was supposed to be delivered November 2015. I'm still waiting. |
