Let me pose this possibility if we choose to professionaly print these: To get the most out of our dollar, we obviously should make these sheets quite diverse (ie, not all one style or color). My thought is that we can fit at *least* 100 (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hmmm. Both of you have good points. Perhaps there could be two types of sticker sheets. One with half a dozen different "generic" designs, for larger armies, and A different one with lots of different sticker sets to create customized "characters", (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Personally, I think 20 of any one design would be too much. I think 10 should be the most of any one army builder. BTW, off my rough estimates the printer is telling me that he can get about 80-90 stickers on one 8.5x11 sheet. That means we (...) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

This is a great idea, not only for castle minifigs, but also themes as space, town, etc. Some generic town stuff. Who knows? FUT to town, space, etc. for specific discussions Scott S. -- ***...*** Please visit (URL) (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, lugnet.space)

(...) Yes, but the first one produced has to be specific to Castle, as the shields involved is only really applicable in Castle. Then, we can make a generic die for cutting out just torsos and possibly signs for use with all other themes. Jimmy (24 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, lugnet.space)
