FMG Italy ready before October?

Didnt quite understand your reply to: Why do the units total up to 150 pcs, but it says theItalians will have 138 pcs? :?

@FieldMarshalGames:

Consider this: If you look at the competition, you are getting more for your unit dollar at a quality untouchable by anyone in the industry.

Sorry if it is already asked, but this miniatures will be made of hard plastic, like AA?

I am VERY happy with the $29.99 price tag.  Heck, I would have paid the $39.99 they had up there so as far as I’m concerned, FMG just gave us a $10 off bonus.  As for all of you cheapies out there complaining that this is too high, you obviously fail to understand the immense investment FMG is making in this project just to get it going.  The cost of creating the detailed sculpts, making the molds to make these pieces and finding a factory that will work with you in creating all of this, not to mention having to go back on some pieces to fix them (like the Italian bomber), is simply enormous.  Plus, it isn’t like FMG is sitting back like Donald Trump, just raking in cash and laughing at all of us.  They are a small company that specializes in strategy games and accessories ran by people who like to play these games as much as the rest of us do.  Heck, it isn’t like they had the money just sitting around to start this.  They had to use money from combat dice and other A&A sales to fund the start up of this project.  All FMG is trying to do here is get back the money they spent for getting Italy going and to fund the Germans.  The more Italy sets they sell, the more able they will be able to fund Germany.  So, in a way, we are ALL investors in this project.  Do you want to see German units?  Do you want to see USA?  How about Russia, or France, or Canada?  Then you HAVE to get into this now!  Try thinking of it not as “Too much money for little plastic pieces” but more as helping to assure that future nations combat pieces see the light of day, maybe even ones that you personally would like to see.  Also, I’m sure the price will eventually decline.  This is a BRAND NEW item.  Almost everything that comes out is a little higher right at first then goes down after time when the factories get used to making them and the molds are already there.  For Example:  take DVD players.  When DVDs were still new, you had to pay $500+ to get a simple DVD player – no recording, no hi-def, no blue-ray – just simple DVD playing ability.  Now days, you can get a good quality DVD player for less than $100.  It just takes a little time.  So get on the bandwagon and pay what you consider “a little more” now so we can all keep this project funded and eventually see all the nations.

I am also mostly happy with the new line-up.  Personally, I would prefer 12 of each type of tank and I would have liked to see more transports, but overall it is a fine line-up.  By the way FMG, I come up with 150 piece count too.

$30.00 a set is not bad considering how many individual pieces your getting. Plus the quality. Its just alittle crazy when i think about how much money i will invest in this game to get all the countries. The good thing is you can buy 1 set at a time. If i had to buy the whole thing at once, i might hasitate. by the way, maybe i am not up to speed but what color is the Italy pieces going to be?

The final product will be brown to match the ITALY COMBAT DICE

150 pieces / $29.99 = 0.20¢ per piece.

That is unbelievably cheap.

Think about it, there are other sellers selling 48 pieces for $12.

And others I have seen that sell individual pieces for $2-4 each.  And people buy them!  :-o

Are there shipping options? Or is it a flat $10? Is there anyway to just ship it USPS for like 3 bucks instead?

We only ship US and Canadian orders via UPS.  It is fast / reliable with tracking… and protects us from charge backs and other fraud.  ALSO, these products are shipped from Canada so USPS is not an option.

The stuff I order from Field Marshal Games always gets to me really quick.  For example, my copies of A&A Europe 1940 – shipped on Monday the 23rd and on my doorstep by Friday the 27th.  That’s pretty good from Canada to Wichita, KS.

35 dollars your giving this poor canadian boy a headache.

hey if it pays why not?

Dude,FMG… I swear you’re trying to torture us…

Big announcement soon…

We’re getting close to an announcement…

Really close now…

Then… chirp, chirp, chirp…! :?

Hahahaha!  Oh but don’t forget the switch to this thread from the other one I was tracking - over there was nothing and someone referred me to this one where I had missed the past few days of….action…LOL.

Oh well, it will definitely be worth the wait!  Patiently waiting…

Don’t know if this is the wrong thread, but has anybody heard FMG confirm what colour the final Italy pieces will be? I take it they will be the same colour as the FMG Italy Combat Dice? Thanks guys.

You are correct sir!

Sorry guys.  When dealing with factories in China…  there are ALWAYS delays.  I am often told “two weeks” then I don’t get any results for three.

All I can say is we are very close.  Production has started.

Ok, thanks Jeremy.  :-)
