The Rise of a new UGC :)
scottmog:
Sweet! Cant wait!
Shadowfox:
OK.
So the factory received my "care-package" yesterday and they have already giving me the price for the moulds and cases in the 10,000pcs qty.
The SEGA Clamshells mould is the same price as the NES mould... HAHA!
The Width and Heigh of the NEW cases would be exactly the same as the standard UGC the spine, however, would go from 21mm to 27mm. (This is not too, too bigger... but the artwork will have to be altered to be usable.... :-\ HELP!)
Shadowfox:
The price per unit is twice as much on my end for these larger cases and for the GB cases. I'd still be selling them in and around $1.00ea but it will take longer for me to save up and attain the next mould.
If I'm doing my math right, in about 5 weeks I'll receive my next batch, with that batch I break even with all the costs and stuff. I will have half of the funds for the next mould at that time, and that will get them started on the building of the next mould. It took about a month to build the last set, Get proofs, send proofs out to a few guys here on TCP, get feedback. Tweak, alter anything that needs to be altered with. At this time I SHOULD be continuing selling my GB Cases, if so I SHOULD have the other half of the mould money set aside and WHAM! Mould number 2 will be built and the first batch will be about 3 weeks from that point. It's middle of June now... So I'm guessing early September will be when the next cases come out to buy. :) (Hopefully sooner)
scottmog:
What will be the difference between gameboy cases mold 1 and 2?
As others have suggested the gba clips a hair tight but it doesnt bother me one bit.
BadChad:
So a rough estimate of early September for Genesis cases? I'll get some funds put aside! ;)
