Crowdfunding

Greetings to all toy soldier enthusiasts:

Introduction
Our current production line not only produces toy soldiers, it also produces sundry plastic items such as plastic containers, buckets and such. For that reason, we have decided to start a second production line which focuses on plastic toy soldiers only. As this is a dedicated line, sets on this line should be fast moving and not slowed down by other jobs. Our original line is still producing sets but if the second line moves as quickly as we think it will, we will be moving all or most of our unmade sets here.

Project #1: 1/32 Napoleonic Austrians - cancelled/refunded
Project #2: 1/72 Unmarried Zulus
Project #3: 1/32 Napoleonic British Infantry - cancelled/refunded
Project #4: 1/32 7YW Austrian Infantry Marching - cancelled/refunded
Project #5: 1/72 Prussian Landwehr - 2 sets: marching and action

Funding
Because this is a secondary line, we have decided to kick start it by crowd funding. That is, it will be funded by pledges. This way it will not be restricted financially or slowed down by the original production line. This will also give us an idea of how popular a set is. If the set does not reach a preset amount of pledges, it tells us there is not enough interest and it will stop us from making a set that isn't popular anyway. So two birds with one stone: funding and popularity.

How
At the end of the product description, there will be an estimate and a Paypal link. Simply determine the number of sets you want to pledge and input the amount. Once the product is made, they will be shipped directly to you. If we don't get enough interest after a certain amount of time, all monies will be refunded. If you change your mind at any time before production, just ask us for a full refund. Alternatively, we can immediately ship you any items we have in stock of equal value any time you request.

Notes
As this is a new project for us, we will continue to fine tune it and make changes if necessary to ensure its success. Onward ho!
