$$$ Value of Individual Pieces
I'm interested in what people think individual pieces might be worth.
Specifically I'm going to be interested in buying some extras of specific car minis like the Apollo, Hades, and Conestoga. I realize that some sculpts will be more desirable and have a higher price, just looking for baseline ideas. After the kickstarter is over individual Miniatures Sets are set to price a $50 So I'm thinking that about $8-$10 might be a good starting price. List price for Bases is $10, but there are going to be a lot of these going unused so maybe $1.50? Dice are are 20 for $18, so about $1 each, but since there are a lot more yellow, probably something like $.75 for yellow and $1.25-$1.50 for others? Not sure anything else except really popular build cards will end up being broken out and sold seperately by individuals. Anyone have any ideas about this? Anyone have specific plans to break up sets? Anyone have sculpts they really can't stand that they'll be selling off? |

Re: $$$ Value of Individual Pieces
Hi Jim,
While this will not be a terribly satisfying answer - depends on supply and demand. If the game's a hit upon release, the components will be worth more as folks try to get more. If lots of folks aren't interested in a certain piece... I'm sure you get it. In short, we'll have to wait and see. |

Re: $$$ Value of Individual Pieces
Not sure how the individual bits are going to pan out. I went a bit (ok a LOT) overboard when I ordered my stuff. I may decide that I have extras when all is said and done.
If I had to guess, I suspect that one of the first items that will run out are the clear bases. People are going to want to mount their die-cast cars, and as the cars don't have the bits for attaching and removing, people will be gluing them on directly. So... more bases needed and probably a higher demand.

Re: $$$ Value of Individual Pieces
Planning on going the other way with this for some of my clear bases. I'm going to flatten the ends of a couple of them and drive the Hades and Apollo in that other game as well.

Re: $$$ Value of Individual Pieces
Out of curiosity, why use the bases at all for another system, instead of just the model?

Re: $$$ Value of Individual Pieces
The other system has movement templates similar to X-Wing. They sometimes react oddly to odd shaped bumpers or noses that extend past the wheels. I've found that bases make it easier for me.
YMMV |
