So one mold can be of more than one sculpt?
I guess a mold is the plastic tree where the pieces are connected and the buyer needs to remove like in MB AA?
If the cost becomes $64,000 for 8 nations or 8K each, I would just make 6 nations and come out with recolored versions for the others.
6 x $8,000= $48,000 or sell 960 units at $50 each to get back your money.
I think on this site alone they will generate at least 500 units within 1 year. The rest is links on BGG and FMG site direct. The profit is when they clear deals with the majors to supply game parts for all sorts of new games.
Conquest Games will buy them
Fantasy Flight Games might buy them for a AA knockoff
Eagle Games might
WOTC might
Xeno games will replace their crappy games with these pieces.
who else?
