--- Quote from: Azarkhel on February 17, 2012, 01:38:39 AM ---That's a whole bunch of cases for this kickstart thing. When you have a prototype to show get onto all the big gaming blogs about your product. Your going to need all the advertising you can get. Surely a smaller run without this program would be easier for you to manage? I'm not sure of the maths or the markets for this but 100k seems like a huge amount to start with. --- End quote --- Yeah, I'd be inclined to agree. Trying to raise $100k for this project over the course of 30 days would be a colossal undertaking even with decent exposure. It's kind of stupid that Kickstart only gives you a 30 day window. |

Aaargh. Nes case is the only one I don't need 😥 I do however wish you the best of luck. I can't help but feel that separating out the different systems is going to make it difficult to reach your target, as well as cause you warehousing issues in the long run. It may be late in the day for you, but have you thought about a universal empty case with a removable tray for the different carts? Not sure if an empty inner would drive the cost of injection moulding down at all? I would happily buy up the outer cases I need, knowing that the inner trays to fit my carts would be available at some point in the future. This would perhaps make it easier to reach a goal of 10000 outer cases. You could then do a smaller run of the insert trays to go inside. (perhaps the trays could be modifiable to fit a smaller outer case similar in dimension to the 12 disk poly too?) Just a thought. I know you've already done considerable research, so you may have already decided this approach was a bad idea. Good luck with whichever ones you decide on. |

$2 is also okay with me. That's roughly what I buy double-wide DVD cases for. Though I would like to know how much would it cost to ship to Poland. |

You make an excellent point about the prototype. I'm going to get some prototypes made before I do the Kickstarter thing. I'm going to start meeting with some local companies and get some made. That right there is going to knock 5,000 off of the 100,000 goal. As part of the prototyping process, 3D CAD Files will be generated. With the 3D CAD Files, and photographs of the Prototypes, I can quickly get quotes from multiple injection molding companies, across the country, via e-mail. And you know what that means! A lower overall price could be had for this project. ;) If I could make fewer cases, and still qualify for the ideal price-per-case, that would be sweet, since I am going to be limited on warehouse space, for a while. When I ran the numbers for Shipping Quotes yesterday, I added 1 inch to each dimension of the 100-Pack Shipping Box, and I also added 1 pound, to be on the safe side. Using that method, Shipping to Poland is 114 USD. When you add that to the previous cost estimate of the cases, that works out to about $2.39 per case. Poland is the most expensive country to ship to. |

I've been following this thread and it seems too good to be true. It's a very good idea! I would probably just stick to UGC for NES games as I am already 200 deep. I would still suggest to start with the NES cases for production though. I think they would sell the best initially. I'd like to offer my services free of charge if you need them .. I'm a certified accountant so I could help with budgeting / cost tracking, cost / benefit analysis, etc. If you have some different production options with cost estimates I can help evaluate the alternatives. Perhaps free your time to work on the cases. I'd love to see the project succeed. Cheers and good luck! |
