FMG Issue

Flat dice vs round dice… it reminds me of the debate between “I always turn-off my computer when I’m not using it” vs the “I always leave my computer on when I’m not using it” guys… in the end, no matter the argument both sides put forward, both computers seem to last longer than they’re relevant… to me, all dice seem to still roll when I toss them… [shrug]

@ProtesT:

Excellent, excellent, excellent! I waited a grand total of 6 business days, on the 7th I received my order of Global grey, green and red chips. Packaged nicely and even got an Italian roundel coaster as a bonus! Will most definately buy from HBG again. In fact I already have my second order on its way, a bunch of the nice rounded edge dice from the 42.2 edition. A bunch more stuff will be needed, like Italian and Anzac pieces to bolster those nations to just name a couple starters.

Won’t be much longer and you’ll have so many coasters from HBG, you won’t know what to do with them all.  I have a pretty big stack of them myself.

As for dice, once I started using the national Battle Dice (from FMG, sold through IWNGU), I can never go back to “regular” dice for A&A.

@IWillNeverGrowUp:

We’ve been asked this a couple of times. We have the authority to do whatever we want with the stock that we have. The issue arises when we do this and end up with a ton of individual pieces that (for whatever reasons) don’t sell yet we’ve paid for them as full sets. It’s a potential inventory nightmare for a small hobby company with limited funds.

It’s possible that we may be able to if we can figure out a way to do it well and not take a big hit on it. That’s going to take some time though. Really it’s mostly just the potential dead inventory issue. If we could perhaps get an idea of what people want most and/or what they do not want at all in those sets, it may make it easier. Perhaps I’ll have to make a poll on it in the near future!

I certainly understand and figured that may be the case. Thanks for the info. If you make a poll, I will definitely vote.

@coachofmany:

we have space holders for now, we are working on adds as we speak. Thanks for all of your support.

Don’t forget large, full-motion-video adds with blaring music and “click here to minimize” button that constantly repositions the add to a different place on the screen when you try and click on it!    :wink:

No…. we will not be doing those!!!

I concur, their contact is terrible to non-existent, and they are slow to deliver… but at least they do (eventually) deliver… and for some very nice things that you can’t seem to find elsewhere (Combat Dice comes to mind)… it’s worth one poor customer service episode, and a little longer wait time to get something very nice for Axis and Allies that you will have for years… I don’t intend on dealing with FMG again, unless they offer something I can never get anywhere else… but at least they DO deliver (eventually), and I now have my Combat Dice!

P.S.
I had to toss that 7th Russian die into my “random dice collection can”… you have no idea how that 7th oddball 31st dice messes with someone suffering from acute OCD.

never mind I found the thread about FMG flight stands.

@jluna1273:

Sounds good. I’ll keep an eye on the website and check when they’re back in stock.

We currently have them all in production with a new factory.

I will post here once they are ready.

Thanks!
