I got a fresh quote from Chessex on the custom dice for Goalsystem / SuperSystem/ Super Mission Force games.
This would be the dice used in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfse7LL67lM
(hot dice rolling action occurs around the 5:50 mark)
In order to get them at the price-break of $1 per die, and have them in even quantities, I need to order 600.
So that's $615 with shipping.
What I am proposing is getting interested parties together and have them Paypal me the cost of the dice quantities they want along with shipping and packing costs. I need to get commitments taking us close to 600 to make it worthwhile. If interested, respond with your desired quantity. Once I feel like it's a go, I will give folks a few days to pay me, then place the order with Chessex.
It's a two month turnaround as well.
Let me know what you folks think!
-
Put me in for 40, plus silly shipping rate to Aus.
-
Before I dive in, what options are there for colours. As far as I understand the different colours don't have any specific role, right?
-
I'll take 30, 2 different colours would be nice.
Shipping to Belgium.
Greetings,
Zeebeest.
-
The colors would be same as the video--red, blue, ivory.
If I get 600, it would be 200 of each, but I guess based on your orders I could tailor that quantity so we get enough of what everyone wants. We'll see. Ideally, everyone would take each color, the same quantity of each color, but I understand folks want certain things, and that's why I'll try to be flexible.
So far:
-- eMills 20 (5 blue, 5 red, 10 ivory)
-- Zeebeest 30 (10 blue, 10 red, 10 ivory)
-- Troll 20 (all ivory)
-- Malebolgia 20 (10 blue, 10 red)
-- Hat Guy 30 (10 blue, 10 red, 10 ivory)
-- Fergal 30 (10 blue, 10 red, 10 ivory)
-- Randall 60 (20 blue, 20 red, 20 ivory)
-- pltac 45 (15 blue, 15 red, 15 ivory)
-- styx 20 (red)
-- leegwonfu 30 (10 blue, 10 red, 10 ivory)
-- Cait Sidhe 30 (10 blue, 10 red, 10 ivory)
-
10 blue dice
10 red dice
Total: 20 dice
-
What is the shipping cost going to be to Europe?
-
I'm in for $30, I prefer white but I'll take whatever is easiest.
USA shipping.
-
Tomorrow I'll throw some dice into a packet and see what shipping will be to various spots. We shall see.
-
60 dice for me, please (20 of each color).
Super excited! ;D
Shipping to USA.
-
I'll take the easy way and go 10 of each colour then ;)
Greetings,
Zeebeest.
-
Change mine to 30 and ten of each colour thanks.

What's up with the face with two "goals" on it?
Might be interested in some of these myself.

The face with two symbols counts as 2 goals. It would be the 6 on a normal D6.
-
I'd like to know the shipping to UK before I commit please.
-
Up to:
25 Red
25 Blue
15 Ivory
Ordering for friends now as well, ::)

Despite owning every rule set you've released, I haven't played any since SuperSystem 1e. Lol. Is there an extra goal mechanic for rolling 6 now? Meaning rolling 4 or 5 equals one goal and rolling 6 equals two?
If so, I'd be interested in 10 white and 5 each of the other two colors.

Yes, when we went from 1E to 2E, and moving forward in all of our games, the goal rolls yield 1 goal on 4s and 5s, and 2 goals on a 6. Super grants re-rolls on failed dice.

Working on that. Will have info tomorrow, I hope.

That'll teach me to ignore the basic rules in new editions. Lol.
10 white, 5 red, and 5 blue for me please.

16,16,16 for me.
Thanks,
David Ross
-
20 dice red.
-
10 of each. And more if need be.
Love the cover of SMF.
-
Sorry for the delay. I hope to get to the PO today and get some cost estimates on shipping.
I have 27 sample dice, so I'll use those as my guide. I'll like add $1 for packing as I will need to buy some padded envelopes to ship them in.
More as I know it!
-
Ok, the shipping rates are as follows:
United States: $6.45
Canada: $9.50
South America: $13.50
United Kingdom: $13.50
EU: $13.50
Australia: $13.75
Hong Kong: $13.75
For non-U.S. orders I would ask you to add $1.00 to cover packing materials.
I hope this does not cause shipping shock, but this is the best the USPS can do for me.
Thanks! And keep the orders coming. At some point I will begin to tally them and think about next steps, i.e., initiating PayPal requests and placing the order.
-
Those are great rates, still in! 8)
-
Used to it sadly. And the USA wonders why they don't export many goods anymore... :?
-
Sorry, I'm out.
-
I would take 20 in any color combination, but would prefer all white. US shipping.
Thanks,
Troll

I've added you to the list for 20 ivory dice.
Thanks!
-
Cost will be brutal with shipping and taxes but put me down for 10 of each colour.
-
Ok, this is the last call for pledges to the project.
As it stands now I'll be producing 600 dice, and going over the numbers, I have pledges for 110 Blue, 120 Red, and 115 Ivory.
I'm willing to hold on to the extra dice and sell them off slowly somehow as we move forward. The cost will rise to $1.25 per dice for these later sales, so if you want to up your number now at a $1 per dice, please let me know.
I plan to just get 200 of each color done.
Once I place the order, Chessex tells me it will be about two months for fulfillment.
Once I call for the actual PayPal transactions to be done, don't forget to add the shipping for your part of the world. I outlined all of that on the first page of this thread. I'll dig that out and add it to this post for clarity. Thanks!

I threw you guys into the pot.
Thanks!

I realise I may be too late but I would like to have 10 of each colour please (30 dice all up). I am in Australia and realise the postage is a lot, but have been considering getting my own dice made for the last week or so and have only just come across this thread. Thanks!

:o I really hope I'm not too late for this!
I'm in Alberta Canada and I'd gladly take 10 of each colour
BTW I just bought a ton of Heroclix to play with my kids and I stumbled on your "Super Mission Force" :) Just reading the rules and they look great
Thanks for all the hard work you've put in :)

Hey Scott,
Any news on the dice?
Greetings,
Zeebeest.

Sorry for the delay on this. Bit of upheaval on other fronts. Changed firehouses twice and just bought my own home. Nice being a home owner again but moving is a bear.
Also we've been working through tech issues with getting SMF's layout done, but I think Joe D. is now in a place where he can rip it out in a few weeks.
Now the dice. Here's what I am going to do. I've decided to front the production from my own funds. Seeing the "pre-orders" has given me confidence I can eventually sell them. It may be at $1.25 a dice as I would not mind making some small profit on them. The production cost is $1 per die, so it's not a huge margin.
This way once I have them shipped to me, and they're in hand, I can take orders via Paypal, and you folks can decide then what your quantities are. If you get only 10, but decide you love them and want more, you can always place a second order.
I hope to move on this in the next week or so.
-
Ok, I paid for the custom dice order! I've decided that anyone who placed his or her name on the Scott-Starter list will get them at the original price of $1 per dice plus shipping. That's cost. Anyone else will pay $1.25/dice.
I will not hold you to the quantities listed below. You can change up if you want. Just let me know when you Paypal me.
Don't paypal me your order until I announce I have the dice in hand.
Thanks!

Great news, Scott! I can't wait to see the finished product!

Sounds good Scott :)

Folks, just talked to Chessex--dice should be shipping early next week! With the impending release of Super Mission Force, it's shaping up to be a big couple of weeks for Four-Color Studios!

This is great news.
Can't wait to get my hands on both dice and SMF.

One side note. Next week I have a tone of overtime. I will have almost no time to ship orders next week.
So get your orders in tonight/tomorrow and I will ship as many as I can on May 3, May 5, and May 6.
After that I won't be able to ship anything until Saturday, May 13.
Thanks!
-
Order sent. :D
-
Will have to wait until the weekend to order, I don't get my free money from the government until tomorrow.

I shipped out 5 packets yesterday. Thanks to all who ordered!
I found a better way to do U.S. shipping, so that price changed to $4.00. SO here are the rates:

I may be able to ship out a packet or two tomorrow, but otherwise, I don't think I can ship anything else until the following Saturday, May 13.
P.S. I have a $2.45 refund to issue to a couple of U.S. buyers.

Ordered 8 red, 8 blue, 8 white... So adjusted my list somewhat :)
Now to avoid customs...

Actually, it's not. Just PM me your address. Thanks!

Folks, I am getting requests from folks to increase their dice orders.
I am inclined to allow this. This means I will run out sooner. If you're on the LAF pre-order list, it insures you get the $1 / dice price, but it does not lock down dice for you. You have to pull the trigger and buy them while I have them in stock. ;)
Just letting you know. And as an aside, because of the quantities and advance demand, I have fewer Ivory dice than Blue or Red.
Thanks!
-
Order placed 30 dice, 10 of each colour.
Greetings,
Zeebeest.
-
Received, Zeebeast. At the rate we're going i may need to do another order!
;D
-
Six more packets are going out tomorrow morning. Quantities are very low now.
Sorry about this. I ordered too close to the numbers from the pledges and don't have a lot of leeway. If you don't get an order in soon, this round will be mostly gone. :(
The good news is I might do another round and add some different colors.
Not sure yet. I plan to use the sales from Super Mission Force to finance this next round.
We'll see...
-
Mine arrived yesterday and look awesome. Thanks, Scott! Looking forward to getting them rolling.

Appreciated!

Dice arrived today, somehow avoided customs charges as well. ;D
-
And arrived...! They look awesome.
(http://paintoholic.nl/temp/dice.jpg)
Thanks Scott!!
-
Awesome pic! My pleasure!
-
Just an update on quantities--I don't have exact numbers but I think I have around 20 Ivory, 40 Blue, and 40 Red left.
These are rough estimates.
I am contemplating doing another order. What other colors might folks like to see?
Thanks!
-
Yellow and Green for me
-
My dice finally arrived today. Small delay because I'm one of those lucky few who get to pay
a little (a lot actually) more for the exellent service of our custom officers.
Apparently a envelope filled with custom dice is a huge treat for the Belgian customs.
Either way, very happy with my new and overly expensive dice. They'd better roll in my favor now.
Greeting,
Zeebeest.
-
Hello
Mine arrived on a few days ago in sunny Oz (Brisbane). They look great. I shall be using them in the next few days and cannot wait!
-shaun
-
I don't have the count with me now, but tomorrow I will update the thread with what's left available.
Just a handful of Ivory, maybe twenty red and twenty blue.
Thinking of a second order. Maybe including green and another new color. Any thoughts?
-
I have to bow out. Sorry Scott.
Surgery in the US isn't cheap, even with good insurance...

Green and Yellow are definite, I think. Going to get some samples made...
-
Just wondering if you have any of the dice left?
-
Wow, just got an email that this thread updated... it had been so long I had forgotten about the dice. I had requested an order ages ago, I assume they're all done now?
-
Are there still dice available Scott? I would like to get a bunch more for a big TMNT game I am hosting in a while. These will be *so much cooler* than regular dice. And currently I don't have enough for all players :)

Alas, no. I need to do another batch. I am waiting on a rules book layout project to get done, then I can try to look at another round of dice. When is the event?
-
February next year...so not that fast :)
But thanks for the reply!!

I should have them by then!

I am close to pulling the trigger on another dice order. So who wants more dice, and what colors are folks interested in?
:)
-
YEAH!
Since I'll be needing them for my Turtles game I need blue (Leonardo), red (Raphael), orange (Michaelangelo) and purple (Donatello). Last time I bought blue and red dice...so I would love to buy purple and orange ones to get complete sets for my project :-*!
-
I'm interested. Black, White and Blue.
-
I too am interested, I suspect any colour will do, classic red and blue, maybe some other colour for my C in C games (Chaos & Carpathia) maybe black and white.
-
Hi Scott,
I was fortunate to get some of the red, white and blue dice so would love to see some new colors. Any of the new colors mentioned above would be great--I'll buy buckets of them! ;D
-
I am thinking Black, Yellow, and Green.
I got some samples of Yellow and Green made up last year and they're great.
-
I would be interested in buying some, I missed out last time and I would like to snag a few.

Ditto! Thanks, Scott.

Just as I was poised to make the order, Chessex tells me they have suspended custom orders for the foreseeable future.
Ouch.
Does anyone have a suggestion for another custom dice vendor? Ideally one located in the USA or Canada.
I have sent email to Koplow and I am waiting on a reply.
Thanks!
-
Chessex is back doing custom orders!
I am thinking of starting with a single color--Opaque Black. Do folks have any interest in this? I could also add in White / Ivory for two colors.
The Black would have gold symbols, and the white would have black symbols.
http://www.chessex.com/Dice/Opaque%20Dice/opaquemainpg.htm
Let me know!
-
I am attaching images of the Black dice. I will also be getting a quantity of White opaque dice.
Based on production costs, I will be charging $1.75 per dice, plus shipping. I will let folks know when the dice arrive.
If you want to claim your share, PM me here with desired quantities. To be fair to folks who find this thread late, I will initially limit orders to 10 of each color. If you want to claim your dice, send me your name, address, email address, and desired quantities.
Thanks!

PM Sent
-
Count me in as well. PM sent.
-
Interested!
-
Do you have any left or plan for another order?
Are these engraved or printed?

They're engraved. I still need to do another production run. I got sidetracked getting SMF 2nd ed. completed, but now that it is done, it's time to think about dice again.
I have a big training to prep for in mid-October, but once that is done, I will get the custom dice going again. Thanks!
