+1 for the Multiforce grid layout - seeing all the various different combinations would be way cool!

I've only ordered one set of books at present, but on the last day if a couple of hundred dollars is the difference between success and failure I'll stump up for a second copy. Rather have two of each than none at all...

 

Talk to the guy who just did the TMNT collections book on Kickstarter

He might have some advice on shipping.

Or try and make an account with UPS or ShipNaked. I know UPS can offer some great discounts when you have a business account.

They are books so can you send them via Media Mail via USPS?

Just throwing out ideas as it seems shipping is really holding some people back.

 

Seeing that TMNT book almost makes me wish there was a way to make a "super book" with the boxes (or box art), tech specs, bios, and any other interesting information for each figure... but that would take up A LOT of space and be very ambitious.

 

This is a great idea, I'm sure there are Facebook groups, or even non-TF sites and message boards out there that it would be beneficial to get word out on! Unfortunately I really only frequent here and Seibertron, but I'm sure others do.

 

I knew this was happening but I didn't see the Kickstarter campaign until it showed up on Daimchoc's Facebook feed this morning.
Will definitely support this but just worried that it's not getting the reach it deserves.

 

I'll just point out that you'll likely get a flurry of backers in the last few days of the campaign. Myself, I'm just waiting to put the Kickstarter payment on my next credit card statement, as it's a bit full right now with other purchases. I'm sure there are other folks interested, but who have to get the funds together.

 

Payment isn't due until the Kickstarter ends and succeeds, so no money is taken yet. There's literally no reason not to back it now so it has a better chance at succeeding.

 

You know what, I did not know that. Guess I have no excuse now.  

 

Welcome to the club!  

I'm really looking forward to these books...

 

Being able to get a single book, shipped to Canada, would make a lot of members happy!

 

Pledged, for both books! I'm stoked for them as well, especially the Japanese/European book. I do think we'll see some fence-sitters come in on the last few days.

 

A post has been added and submitted for news, but I will be surprised if Seibertron will post it as news, because they only post news about official products.

 

You might consider reaching out to these guys. http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/ They are a retail shop in Japan that specialize in selling Transformers. They carry a lot of hard to find items. Your book might be a niche for their customers.

 

I just found this thread tonight, what a great project. I have never supported a KS project before, but this could be my first. I am browsed the KS page quickly but could not discern quickly how much will this cost for 1 or both books shipped to Canada (Vancouver).

Mind stating this for me here?

Depending on total price, I could be the "200th" backer.

 

...have you reached out to A3+U yet?..you probably need to contact each of the major retailers directly - don't expect them to come to you - but overseas retailers like ages 3+up, kapow toys, or planet steel express may be your best bet for capturing international sales...

...worst case scenario, if the kickstarter doesn't go through, contact IDW and see if they'll publish it as an officially-licensed book...

 

Thanks very much for this.

Probably only viable for those of you that live in a concentrated area of forum members, but maybe a group-buy to one shipping address may save some of you money.

For me, I don't see how I can warrant spending 45~ on shipping for 2 books. Shame, I REALLY do want these.

 

there's a bunch of people in the van area that would probably split with you

 

Yeah, i mean...YES! I mean, i don't have the capacity to start a group buy myself.... but if another Vancouverite does, i'm IN 100%.
