Unreleased Mighty Zug - postponed

[Glowworm]

Naz, stick me down for 1 @ $20 or below, any more than that is a no go.....Its a nice model but not 1 I really need (my humans are shadowforge Nuns)

[evenflow123]

For my buck, I'd pay $15-$20.

Count me in for 2 (say $35?)

I just hope I get a PM

You know the guy who can make them isn't posting on the forum right?

Yes I know that but isn't this handled by Nazgob (who is posting on this forum and started this thread)

I'd love to have a "copy" of this.

Haven't read the oodles of pages but it's clear with such demand that hoping you might get one for $20 is a little impractical.

Am interested in all future developments though and would definately want to be on "the list".

[Smythe]

I'd be interested in one of these and would happily pay about $30

I fear I have bad news to report, and I am more than willing to take the blame for my inability to communicate. ip*hb (the seller) was under the impression that I was interested in acquiring 20 copies for myself and my local play group, not for the larger commmunity (the problem was that when I used the word community, I was referring to this place, whilst ip*hb thought I meant my local playgroup).

I would also like to point out that ip*hb had never suggested a price range, I was merely looking for a starting point open negotiations.

i_am_nazgob, I'm sorry that I misunderstood your question. At this time I do not want to do a large scale bulk sale to a public group. Such a sale would be very disrespectful to the bidders on the auction. I do plan on having more auctions for the figure in the future as well as another unreleased Tomb Guardian figure I obtained at the same time which I'm working on having moulded and cast.

However, I will remain hopeful that a large order may be possible sometime in the future.

Sorry to get everyone's hopes up.

Thanks for communicating with him and trying to get this mini accessible to the community! Maybe we didn't get the mini, but we have learned a lot about casting costs thanks to this post

As we are only 15 people who are willing to pay 30$ or more; why not sell to us only? That way the seller will have a small, defined group and avoid spamming Ebay with Zugs from people who have bought 2 or more.

I understand the seller's problem; he has a product that can go for 50-300$ for a long time and make him a nice profit.
If he sells them at 10-20USD to everyone on TFF, he will never make any money out of it.

hm, first i had a bit hope, but now i guess, we, or at last some of us, will meet again at ebay...

@nazgob... thx for the try!

'What's your ideal price point for a copy of this model?'

Willing != Ideal.

ip*hb is not willing to undercut his current auction, as he does not feel that it is fair to those bidding on that (over $100 now), if he then sells lots for $20.

Yeah, yeah; I know that. I was just trying to find a good solution that would suit me well.
(But there are still quite a lot of people who say 20$ is the maximum they will pay for this.)

I guess we'll just have to wait a while until the +100$ buyers start to fade away from Ebay.

He has a fair point.

If i would be one of those +100$ bidders i would be very pissed hearing later about this maybe 20-30$ deal!!!

Yes, i understand him!

[Grumbledook]

well given that we know he has more to sell, the ebay price will surely drop anyway for those who are prepared to wait

[Buggrit]

I would like one, $20 inc postage would be great.
