    Maybe you should add a poster to it or something so you get more out off the transport costs?

    I'd like one. It'd be pretty awesome, I'd think.

    My fiancé and I love playing NS, and we would definitely buy one. So <!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro--><b>YES</b><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->.

    I would like to see the following:
    * dimensions
    * prototype pic
    * final price, but not as much as the cost for shipping within the US.

    Depending on price, I might buy one <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pudgy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::gorge::" border="0" alt="pudgy.gif" /> ftw

    Regarding shipping, how about this idea: send boxes of gorgies to a distributor on each continent (US, UK, Europe, Aus/NZ). Then send them on to the people who want to buy them from the regional distributor. This would cut down shipping costs considerably.

    Another major issue is who fronts the cash for the manufacturing costs. Pre-orders paid in full before hand? I guess the objective should be to deliver a toy gorge to anyone who wants one for the least cost possible.

    The chuckle is a definite must, but it should be a random alien sound from all the alien noises.

    <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    It should be the default chuckle noise from ingame, IMO.

    Also, if we could market this right, and show commercials, these plushies could make millions, even more than NS2.

    We'll need:

    Regular gorge - $15

    Battle gorge - $15

    Ninja gorge, comes with two plush kodachi's and a plush shuriken - $25

    Kyliegirl's gorge, based on her gorge model - $15

    Other things:

    Plush Hive, Res tower, and includes all chambers(OC, DC, MC, SC, etc) set - $30

    Plush mini skulks(for babblers) - $10 for five

    Plush Lerk on a plush cliff - $10

    Plush scorpian that hovars without flapping(really) - $20

    Plush yellow BUS, also includes 2 mini skulks - $15

    I didn't read every post; sorry if one asked before.

    Delivery in Europe? how much?
    Any view of the finished toy ? At least a good drawing.

    Maybee you should put all these infos in the first post.

    Thx

    Someone let Flayra in on this one: if you need some extra dough, don't worry about coding and marketing a whole game (ZoS), just make NS merchandise, starting with a plush gorge.

    Should've done that 2 years ago to be honest ;/
    <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->


    I agree... I think it's great that the community is exploring whatever options they can to get / create a plushie. BUT I think that if it's done it ought to be done by UWE. They should cover the upfront costs / figure things out (most of the research seems to have been done already - so it should be easy). They could even make a few bucks on the deal.

    If Flayra's worried about upfront costs, have a 'preorder' where those who REALLY want one and who really want to see this through to completion can pay early.

    Another way he could handle it (and probably make more money) is saying 'with a minimum donation of X you get a plushie' That way, X could be whatever he'd be selling it for, and people who want to go above / beyond to show support can give a few more bucks.

    Who wouldn't buy a plush gorge!? I mean they're just so damn cute.
  • JitokiriJitokiri Join Date: 2003-09-14 Member: 20867Members
    I would buy one for sure <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
  • SLizerSLizer Join Date: 2003-11-07 Member: 22363Members, Constellation
    Zma and Jiri are prolly just testing the waters here. Must have came into their minds to ask about the devs if this poll/topic interests enough people. I for one would buy even several of them!
  • PetcoPetco Join Date: 2003-07-27 Member: 18478Members, Constellation
    Spread the news guys, we need like 200-300+ more people to confirm they will definitely buy this.
  • DoppyDoppy Join Date: 2006-11-15 Member: 58624Members, Reinforced - Supporter
    I can buy two or three if I have to! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
  • bongbong Join Date: 2005-03-06 Member: 43688Members, Constellation
    OMG this is the best idea ever. Sign me up? And why cant you house 250 gorgies. Lol its not like a real alien invasion. But gorges are cute as heck.
  • AdmirableAdmirable Ireland Join Date: 2003-08-31 Member: 20410Members, Constellation
    If Flayra is in bed with Valve now, maybe he could get a good plushie deal from them, there definitely must be some economies of scale to exploit there.

    I'd buy one fo sho!
  • Voodo_HUNVoodo_HUN Join Date: 2006-11-29 Member: 58773Members
    Hi!
    i say we would have to find another company in the center of EU (like france, germany) and make the shipment from there, i think it would be cheaper.

    We've never made tons of money with the NS merchandise, so this is something I've never really considered. It's also a diversion away from what we're here to do: make games.

    I also imagine VALVe has got some great deal because they can sell a lot of headcrabs!
  • Cereal_KillRCereal_KillR Join Date: 2002-10-31 Member: 1837Members
    Well that's because there wasn't any plush gorgie D:

    To be honest, I would definitely buy a "fade eye" t-shirt if it's otherwise plain, but I'm not generally fond of apparel that explicitly states "NATURAL SELECTION" or whatever it is you're fan of. I like the "wow" factor of good art, but I usually don't like huge wordmarks or slogans (which, if I'm not mistaken, was what the old store was filled with)

    Sandman[SA] said he would buy me a plush gorgey if one is made! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pudgy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::gorge::" border="0" alt="pudgy.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    I'll take a fade if they make them. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
