The ratio of what we'd LIKE to do, against what we're ABLE to do seems
to
be around 10:1....usually due to time, money or both - lack thereof,
that
is.  ;)

BDS will happen one day (probably about the time my third clone is grown
enough to use a computer... <grin>).  Things like dice and decals are
gambles that we haven't been in a position to take yet - they both
require
a fair outlay to get started, and there is no way to really predict
whether
they would sell enough to be worthwhile - you have to make A LOT of
something like this to get a sensible unit price. Of course, if everyone
on
the list pre-ordered a dozen sheets of decals each, THEN we could be
sure
enough to print them.... ;)
We have a number of regular visitors to our stand at the shows (I won't
call them "customers", because that would imply that they buy
something....) who are very fond of saying "Hey, why don't you make
XXXXX
(insert odd or obscure item of choice here), that'd be really good!".
What
they actually mean is, "If you spent a lot of money and time getting
XXXXX
sculpted and into production, I MIGHT buy ONE, if I haven't started
collecting something else entirely by then....."

Jon (GZG) - feeling just a little bit cynical tonight... <grin!>
