The 7th of the 24 official races has been added to the store tonight.

You may now buy the Lizardman team and single figures from BBFigs.com.

Hi, any chance that you'll ever be able to stock any BB snotlings? I have a snotling team but they're just ordinary snotlings..... the BB ones look sweet though.

I am in the market for a Pro Elf team boxed set and an Amazon team boxed set. I woulda ssume that if I buy them from you, even with the cost increase for my incredibly weakend dollar, then it will go to help keeping your service alive. Please PM me if this would be feasable, as you do not have these up in your store yet. If it will be a few weeks, I can wait, as I would rather you have the money anyway.

When you release a new wave, does that mean you'll still be stocking the older waves? Some of the teams I still don't have are Nurgle and Vampire - so do I need to buy those before you move on to other teams or I'll miss out?

The Ethos* for BBFigs it to keep all teams in stock, but they need to sell some of the first wave in order to have the funds to stock the next wave.

So you will not miss out but the quicker you buy, the quicker you will get the other teams. I am waiting for Norse as a Friend wants them.

You understand correctly. The plan is that as each new wave is added that the old waves are also restocked as needed.

As for the old BB Snotlings. I will not be able to stock 2nd edition figures.

If I could offer GW a 1M GBP I've been told I could license the 2nd edition moulds ... but the rub is that if I had 1M GBP ... I'm not sure I would offer to GW for 2nd edition figures.

The problem boils down to size. If I could develop a better relationship with GW I'd love to try and negoiate for them to spin those moulds for a custom order of 2nd edition figures. Problem for me is that even with a great relationship ... I have a feeling that such an order would probably have a minimum size of 1000 to 10000 figures .... so the cost / benefit on proceeding with such a plan would be difficult to say the least.

So for right now ... the only figures that BBFigs.com will have in it will be figures that you can purchase from GW right now. So if you don't see it in their store I unfortunately cannot get it.

Imagine that - a re-release of 2nd edition figs! Would probably damage my bank balance and destroy my marriage as my wife already frowns on my elf hunting on ebay...

Ruddy hell, that means they're capable of giving us back all those old classics and the gits are just sitting on them instead. I'd be all over a 2nd Ed Dwarf, Chaos, Goblin & Dark Elf team if I could get them without faffing about with eBay.

Oh boy I really don't like GW right now...

(ftr I don't think those molds are worth 1M GBP as much as I'd like to see the models come back).

Heh, like GW couldn't EASILY sell off the minimum 1000 BB snotlings they'd cast

I had heard at one time there was rumbling of trying to licence ALL of bloodbowl, and the cost was 1 Million GBP, and that did not include rights to figures or the artwork in the book. Was that just a rumor?

Head of GW very recently confirmed that BB as a license is not for sale for any price.

That comment WAS made once upon a time off the top of JJ's head at the 2006 Blood Bowl ... but its not longer true.

Talking to GW about some ideas I had for BB licenseable items ... I was told that the minimum price for them to consider a licensed product is around 1M GBP. So I assume that this would extend to trying to get the 2nd edition figures cast for BBFigs.com

I expect the Computer Game is to blame for that!

What figures do you think you will use for the chaos pact marauders.

I know this is a long way off but i just wondered if its worth waithing or go for 2ed humans and use them as marauders.
