Not trying to be confrontational at all snakees ... just your post really confused me. Its just we carry other company's minis ... so if you have a no positional clone 16 player team for $55 ... I'm just curious who makes it as we might want to add it to our store.
I realy don't know the cost of a sculpt. I just maid a simple Cross-multiplication as ignorant as I am in this business. I deduct price for 11 sculpts: (35*11)/7 = 55. It was a quick price approximation. I know this is not that simple...

I could also find just arms/head/weapon bits on ebay and convert the 4 positionnal clones (but they look not so easy to convert). :roll:

Anyway I enjoy the fact that you offer a full team for 35$ for the BB community. I hope you will sell a lot of them !

I'm absolutely certain, everyone appreciates the $35 initiative and everybody agrees it's great value for the money.
That being said, I personally put a great value in being able to field individual miniatures - especially for the positionals. On the other hand, I refuse to pay $100+ for a team and thus, many of the new productions are simply way to expensive for me. I don't have an answer to this conundrum. I'm just stating my contradicting views. ;-)

Am I alone in actually preferring duplicates for positionals? I find it much easier to identify players on the pitch and will always prioritise function over form.
That said, I do prefer unique sculpts where positionals are still easily differentiated. Most obvious recent example would be Meiko's lizardmen team. However, that's clearly easier with some races than others.
Will definitely pick up this set soon.

I hate this team!

I was 14/16ths through painting up my shadowforge elves as Amazons (cos I don't like any other Zon alternatives) and then you release this lot.

Now I'm £25 lighter and I've got a redundant elf (ex-Amazon) team with 4 blitzers and only 2 catchers!

Damn you, Impact! for releasing affordable teams I have to buy :evil:

I cannot imagine using resin or plastic minis with out base weights. Might as well use small pieces of paper. :)

Personally I don't care about individual poses, as long as the positionals have different poses I'm happy. I think it's a fabulous team and well done, if I had any inclination at all to play zons I would take it lol!!

Received the team earlier this week......trying to figure out a way NOT to give it away at the weekend.

They look better than pictured, no issues with the casting that I can see.

Someone's going to be very happy with these.....
