Just so you guys know, I have been listening to the comments being made and the desire to have the Standard Bearers remade for the Gordon Highlanders. I completely understand that some folks want them. On the flip side, they were available for quite some time. Of course that doesn't help the new collector/new customer who perhaps wasn't around when we created them and really wants them so that they can complete their collection. I had mentioned previously that we wanted to produce some more of them and really that hasn't changed, but we have to weigh the opportunity cost of doing so being a business after all. What are we going to sell more of, a brand new never before produced figure or Gordon Standard Bearers? Also, are those asking for it willing to pay the price for it? In 2010/2011 it was a $75 figure, pricey for it's time. Are you now willing to pay $99-$109 for them, because with the Tartan detail and at our current quality level and cost, that's roughly what the price will be for each.
I guess one way to find out is that perhaps I'll put them up on our website for sale and if we get enough firm orders for them, we'll produce them to order with a small amount of overrun. If we don't reach target production numbers, we'll just cancel the orders. If we do reach it, we'll make them and fill the orders. So the market can solely determine if wgoes. Butn
ke more of them...or not. Something of a "Mattstarter" project. :smile2:[/QUOTE
I am in even in that price point, and excellent idea about just in the web site, and see how it goes...
But please do let us know if its a go!!, so we can start collecting some if the other Gordon pieces.
