stikfas bulk order!
Jan. 22nd, 2004 12:17 pmOkay, for people looking to order bulk stikfas, it appears that shipping for a case of 20 (4 each of the 5 colors) is $22.00.
This makes the total 112.00 for the case, or 5.60 each.
Thus, for each group of 5, it would be 28 bucks. Compare this to the roughly 8.50 (or 9 bucks, or 10 if you get them at Newbury Comics) per guy (with accessories) and much larger box they come in if you get them separately (42.50 at least), and it's a good deal.
If you want in on it, I'll go for it at cost. Let me know if you are _definitely_ in. I would prefer people to go for sets of 5, but if you REALLY don't want the yellow guy, say, I'll see what I can do (but I don't want to end up with tons of one color, say, or no blue ones). So I'm really leaning toward sets of 5...
I believe
pir,
thastygliax, and
qedrakmar have expressed interest in a set of 5 each. (Drak, I'm rounding yours up from "3 or 4." Deal.) That's a whole case right there, assuming I only want 5, and I'll probably spill over and order another case and end up giving everyone Stikfas at every possible gift-giving opportunity for the next year or so. Again.
Anyone else? If anyone who's not local to Boston wants in, I'll want postage... Boston-local folks, I have a pretty good idea of how I can easily relay them. I won't ask for funds until they get here, though, but when they do, I'll kind of poke people about it...
If I get people's commitments, I will place the order the last day of January.
(Each standard Alpha Male soldier figure comes with enough guns and stuff for about 15 guys. Whoo, instant army!)

Date: 2004-01-22 09:48 am (UTC)No, I'm sure these ones don't... The 9-10 dollar boxed ones do.
Sorry that wasn't clear...

I'm checking out the website you had in your previous entry. These things are spiffy.

Date: 2004-01-22 10:07 am (UTC)I wish they were selling them all of a color and that you could pick up an accessory sprue or two. :(
Still, it's a deal. I'll take a 5-pack.

The best cross-figure-accessory-swapping so far has resulted in the mighty SKATE NINJAS.

Date: 2004-01-22 06:44 pm (UTC)Would be nice to get accessories with 'em, but hey, can't beat the price. The dragonrider has at least 1 or 2 to spare, and I'll likely get at least one more set sometime in the next several months, and that will have spares to share out. (Hmm, need to add Stikfas to the gift list...)
