Nato I'm like everyone else, just let me know when you are ready to sell your weapon sets and how much you want for them. Your weapons are much better than the others. excellent work on the blue prints as well. Those are really well drawn out, we need someone like you at work. Most of the engineers at work suck at drawn blue prints.

These are just some protos I had done to see if everything fit together.  The actual kit will come with 2 missile launchers, the hand gun with attachments for 2 modes, and will come in all grey, red and grey, and white and grey (everything that's on the 2 parts trees above).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I think you will want to chrome the parts (guns and missiles that is, not the launchers which I would prefer in black).  If you're not going to crome them, I would recomend black.  the grey looks unfinished IMHO.  Asside from that they look great.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Chroming is way expensive, and very messy.  Plus, I'll be doing the sets myself to keep costs down.  I hope, however, if the first few sets sell well I'll be able to outsource production.  If all goes well my first bot will have some chromed parts.

i totaly forgot about that whole arm wheel thing, that looks badass too!  what's your price estimate on the bot?

Really I have no idea, as all that is finished in the computer is the arm.  It would depend on the actual production cost of the toy, but I am planning on around $50-$60 price range, maybe more maybe less.

Sorry if you already mentioned it elsewhere but I was wondering exactly how much do you expect the weapon kits to go for. Considering I have about 13 of em as is I may need at least a dozen. :eek

I am definitely in on a future release of your weapons kit Nato.

I am one of the few that wouldn't mind an undecorated/unassembled kit.

 

And yeah, I would require a good half dozen as well.  ;)

OK, here's the official price (I just did the math) $16.00 US per kit.  I estimate they will cost me around $11.50 to make (if I could make 1000), so that's a little less than a 40% mark up(Hasbro makes 60% BTW).  I know that's not between $10-$15 like I first mentioned, but it's the best I could do.  If it costs more than my estimate, or I can't sell 1000 units, then I make even fewer profits. 

 

BUT, as for the first set [bA WS-01 (A, B, and C)] it'll be $16.00 US.

 

Sound good? :thumb

DEFINATELY. You can put me down for a few prolly.

If you'll ship internationally, you can definitely count me in for a few too.

$16, not half bad, considering I'd expect  the official releases to be twice that and there not even designed anywhere near as cool as these. :thumb

 

Seeing as you ship internationally I'm definitely in. :thumb

 

BTW peorders are up.  :clap

WTF! Why was Nato's thread deleted? I looked for it in the End Cap and it was gone. I know one of the post's by someone said that him selling "pre-orders" was a no-no of stuff he didn't have, but Nato was MAKING these parts himself. Hell, I remember someone else selling pre-orders of one of their own custom/cast Transformers and I don't recall this happening. Nato, I hope this doesn't ruin this for the rest of us that did want your items
