In regards to "limited run". Unlike our Napoleonics, where we say "Limited to 500" or "Limited to 250" or what not, we're not going to formally state any limit to these. That being said, our initial run on these figures was between 200 and 300, doing anymore than this at our quality level just takes too long and costs us too much to produce, particularly as a direct sales company where we ourselves hold nearly all of the inventory and don't parcel it out to dealers for them to hold it. Doing a reorder later means we're not making new figures, so a re-order is unlikely, though not impossible. Thus, at some point, these figures will be "retired" and put on the shelf, we do not intend on offering them indefinitely. Really we just have no idea how well they'll sell and until the range is out for some time and we get a better idea, we're approaching it conseratively. Remember, we're only a year old and our customers at this point could all be considered "early adopters" - think of how few of you collected K&C the very first year they made figures. My guess is that in five years from now, everything we currently have in all of our toy soldier catalogs will be long gone and highly sought after.
From a customer perspective, there seems to be two schools I see amongst you. Those who want everything to be produced in low quantity for it's collectibility and those who want everything to be produced in high enough quantity so it is around for awhile and they have to chance to buy it later should they not buy it upon initial release. It can be challenging to please both crowds. However, as we are businesses, it is our goal to produce about the amount that we'll sell so that we don't produce too few and lose sales and don't produce too many so that we have inventory laying around forever.
