============ OGRE/GEV list, February 14th (Last: February 7th) ============= ===== Photos of OGRE Macrotures available. From: SFsupply@aol.com ===== Non-Partha Minis From: Jeffery.M.Miller@Dartmouth.EDU (Jeffery M. Miller) ------------------------------ From: SFsupply@aol.com Subject: Photos of OGRE Macrotures available. I've been receiving requests both for pictures and sales information for our 1/35 Ogre models. Sorry, can't sell any models -yet. It's not a matter of licensing, Steve Jackson Games has given us the green light on that. Our problem is economics and time. We're working on getting bulk materials cheaper so that we can have a higher production capacity. Only then will we be able to produce models at a resonable price. Our target retail price would be $25 to $35 each for most defense units (HVY, MSL, GEV, LT, LGEV), $50 to $60 for larger models (SHVY, HWZ, MHWZ), $250 for a MK III Ogre and $300 for a MK V Ogre. This will put the models in a range that individual enthusiasts can buy several of for modeling (and gaming with "other" systems) and a small group of gamers can buy an Ogre and enough armor to play the classic CP scenario. Until we can do this though, the only way you can play is to be at one of the conventions that we go to regularly. The next two we are going to are WARFAIR '97 in Atlanta (March) and GENCON in Milwaukee (August). Email us at SFsupply@aol.com if you'd like more info. Note that we would (probably) not be producing powered infantry. This is because there is already any number of powered armor troop models available from several minatures companies that you can obtain far cheaper than what we would have to sell at. The pictures are a different story. I have 'em available and WILL send them to anyone who really wants them. ("Really" being defined as willing to pay for reprinting the negatives (.25A2 per) and mailing cost ($1.00 total). There are shots available of the individual armor units sitting on a grass yard and shots of a game in progress at a convention. Tell me how many shots you want and include the proper amount for reprinting the negatives plus one dollar for shipping and I'll send 'em. Please allow up to three weeks for delivery. If you want specific shots of the models (say, plane, angle and overhead shots to help you build your own models) please email me for an estimate of film/developing costs. I am doing this at cost for everyone because of the amount of interest that has been expressed. best, flunky ------------------------------ From: Jeffery.M.Miller@Dartmouth.EDU (Jeffery M. Miller) Subject: Non-Partha Minis What ever happened to the project by the non-Partha company to make Ogre-minis? Stone-Mountain was it? I worked at a place that got their little catalog (with no pictures and big promises) but heard through the grapevine that the quality was sub-standard. Is this what happend? Will we of the Minis set never see a good Mk4? -j ------------------------------ Henry J. Cobb hcobb@io.com http://www.io.com/~hcobb All OGRE-related items Copyright (c) 1997, by Steve Jackson Games.
