<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Is there a market for GW snap together figures?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/7.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Is there a market for GW snap together figures?
I finally cracked open my McCragge to build some of the models. And they are good models - though the marines are "slightly" less detailed than the Black Reach ones. The tyranids on the other hand - holy cow are they EVER an improvement over the actual ones in terms of ease of building. Granted, you get no weapon options, but when building a swarm, having 50% Mccragge guants isn't going to matter.

While I like the amazing customization of the normal figures, the time saving aspect of the snap-togethers is appealing to me now that I have less time to model. If GW re-released the mccragge sprues, as "snap-together squad with objective markers", would anyone buy them? Would anyone buy similarly packaged squads of snap-together squads with army specific objective markers? (Maybe price them at ~$25 USD as they don't come with any options?)

No. These are overpriced for what they are - it would be different if they were much LESS expensive figure for figure as the regular squad box. I mean, actual re-use of the Mccragge moulds.

-edit- In Canada, they are $12cdn a box. $4 for a snap-tite marine is too much. $2 is about right.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/626336.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/626336.page GMT Is there a market for GW snap together figures?

Ah, that does make a difference. I'd be paying $2.67 a Marine if I bought one(which I won't, as I'm practically swimming in marines). Although, I'm almost tempted by the Guard set(US$1.60 a model)...

AOBR Ork frames are any indication, I think there would be a high demand. I put together 70+ of them and they look right at home with the horde of other Orks I have.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/626345.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/626345.page GMT Is there a market for GW snap together figures? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/626730.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/626730.page GMT Is there a market for GW snap together figures? GW sold the BfSP dwarf sprue for a little more than what I am paying now on ebay, I'd stop bidding and buy a bunch from them. Of course, I am sure the price would be much more than the ebay prices, so I do not know if it would be worth it for either of us.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/626942.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/626942.page GMT Is there a market for GW snap together figures? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/626968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/626968.page GMT Is there a market for GW snap together figures?

The snap together guardsmen are really simple to make, but they of course lack flexibility for conversion. The current cadian box is $35 for 20, which is a much better deal than $14 for 5, $1.75 per model vs $2.8 per model for the snap togethers. However with the new guard boxes being $22 for 10 or $2.20 each they will be a lot closer, and maybe worth getting to quickly add models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/627021.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/627021.page GMT Is there a market for GW snap together figures? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/627103.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234065/627103.page GMT Is there a market for GW snap together figures?

Um, that would be an AUSTRALIAN flag under Cheese's name. Check mine for the New Zealand version

On topic: Yes, I think there would definitely be a market for the MaCragge/Black Reach sprues. I don't even think it would detract from regular sales, as the poses are so fixed and not a lot can be done with them.
