Impact! Team Carrying Cases ... colour poll

Okay based on conversations on our website ... Impact! is seriously working on carrying small carrying cases that can hold one team worth of figures. The foam inside can be picked out to hold.

16 figures and 2 Big Guys
18 figures and 1 Big Guy
20 figures

What I need to know is what colour you would be MOST likely to purchase if we carried these in our store for somewhere around $20 / 15 GBP (estimated price could be a little lower (but hopefully not higher in the store)).

We are also pricing to make it so we could sell these with a thin metal plate in them to magnetically hold your players firmly during travel if you use Impact!'s magnetic base weights.

Here are the colour options for the cases:

Here are the details of the case measurements that we are looking at carrying.

I voted red, simply because there are far too many black cases out there. But at the end of the day I don't really care what colour it is, as long as it holds my figs.

I voted red for the same reason as Chaiface.

I'd go with red, most suited to your company logo if you were going to slap that onto the carry case as well, I take it two tone with the fading to yellowy/orange is out of the question? :wink:

That's actually not a bad idea, If you had stickers made and shipped one with every case, Many people would put them on and then instant free advertising at tournaments and league nights...

Now Stickers I'm not opposed to. But I thought many folks might like to customize these for their own teams and our logo would be a distraction.

However if we can ship them with a nice sticker for our logo that is an option. Something to consider. The company was willing to silkscreen our logo on them in a single colour for about the same price as ordering all the cases and foam would be ... so I passed ... :lol: However ... a sticker might be doable ... I have a feeling that will be a down the road option. To be honest ... I doubt I'd put the sticker on my case if I wasn't an owner in Impact! ... so I'll keep this in mind. But the current plan is NOT to put our logo on the case ... it would only be one colour and would double the price we'd need to charge for the case.

The key question ... would you honestly spend $140.00 to purchase a case of every colour?

My current plan was to stock the top 3 colours if possible ... but if they don't have minimum orders I could consider picking up a few of the other colours.

graphite is different without being way out there, so I voted for that...

and much as I would LOVE to advertise Impact! in as many ways as possible, I am not in favour of having Impact! stickers on the boxes.. that is where I will be putting my team emblem.. :wink: :lol: :lol:

Legal disclaimer voice pipes in: "Norse's team logo is a view expressed solely by Norse and is not an image endorsed by Impact! Miniatures."

classy norse, reeeeeeal classy. :)

i voted graphite, but like others, would not get overly hung up on the color.

what WOULD be really cool, though it would likely be cost prohibitive, would be to do a two-tone football field theme, green with white stripes and hashes...since impact does specialize in fantasy football stuff...










ok ok ok graphite's fine. really. :P

That, Mr.Norse sir, is completely and utterly tasteless.

I love it :wink:

TOPIC - Voted black for the case. Everything else reminds me of my kids lunchboxes, and it'd be just my luck to turn up at a tourney with a cheese&ham sandwich team with banana big guy and quaver blitzers.
