Craig,how are sales doing?

[ZICA]

Yay! $500. Ok so supposing that tooling is already finished, we just need to multiply this by what... 10? 20?

You guys are determined, I have to give you that much.

Trust me when I say that I'll do my absolute best to try and find a company that will at least make Hawk. Maybe one of the larger online retailers would be interested in doing it as an exclusive. Start putting pressure on Joel over at Big Bad Toy Store, just don't tell him I told you to do it.

OK, we have a mission...
Letting retailers know that we want more BR. Maybe they'll finally wake up.
For me, the BR figures are top notch all the way (from figure to clothing to packaging), so I've bought three Bucks so far. We can all make a difference!
Buy some for your collection, or for resale, or for the perfect Christmas gift.

I second the motion.

I saw one guy, just ONE at DragonCon with the Buck and Tigerman figures.

Not only that, I think his prices were in the outrageous range.

It's too bad that no one else was selling them. There were at least 40,000 people there, and I KNOW that quite a few of them were fans of the show.

If I had the money, I'd get a booth next year, and have a bunch for sale, as well as take orders for them.

Craig, are you guys going to have a booth at ComicCon here in NY this year?

Maybe you can take a bunch of orders that way, as well as sell a few.

There's got to be a way to keep this line in production.

Unfortunately I wont' be attending the NYCC this year.

I've got almost a year left with license so hopefully within that time frame I'll find a way to keep the line going.

[JediJaida]

Well, I wish you the best of luck, my friend.

There aren't enough good quality figures like yours out there, and that's the sad truth.

Maybe we can try putting the word out to places that sell action figures, like comic shops. I haven't really seen them in any of the ones that I patronize.

TRU is out. Look at the way they DIDN'T sell the Mattel style figures.

FAO Schwartz, while a good place to buy stuff, has only a given amount of room for action figures, and they'd probably demand too much money.

Grrrrrrr! I HATE the fact that we can only do so much to help you out, Craig.

hopefully you'll find a way to get Wilma and the Vorvon in there before the license expires (since you have the vorvon's clothes prototyped)

craig, what can we do as a group to help sales? do you have a warehouse full of buck and tigerman figures? out of curiosity, are you selling more of buck or tigerman? there's got to be a way to help you. i'll be picking up a few more figures from you.

The simple solution would be just to buy more figures. Honestly though, I think the Mego Museum crowd has been very supportive of the line and I'm very thankful for that. I don't have a warehouse full of the figures and yes, Buck is selling much than Tiger Man.

One way you might be able to help is ask you're local comic book/hobby shops to contact me directly and I can give them a very good wholesale price. The markup that Diamond put on the cases was insane which is probably why a lot of comic shops didn't place orders.

I'm crushed that this line has stalled Craig. I'd have bought everything you would have produced, (doubles on some), whatever the price.

At least we have the two that got made. And that by far is better than nothing. Thank you for that.

I wish Craig would make these "In House" (Screw China)...Even if it meant paying more and making these by order...

What do you think Craig???

If you have the Bodies,couldn't you cast the head,paint it,and do the clothes?? these could be made by order basis and there would be no middle man.

There's no way that's gonna happen for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately for now the best choice for production is China, especially if you're trying to maintain certain standards.

I had a phone call earlier today which was somewhat promising in regards to another company taking over the Buck Rogers line. Hopefully that will happen and at least you'll have the chance to get the remaining three figures.
