Jimmy, I looked and didn't see a price in your earlier posts for the
larger qualities printed, just a comment that printers don't like
small jobs (understandable some runs may take more time in setup and
cleanup then in the actual printing).

I might be interested depends upon the cost and the designs in getting
some of these sticker sheets.

I guess I'd like some repeats of the designs on each sheet but not too
many to allow for variety (if you want more of a design then trade
with others or get more sheets?).  I would also like SOME sort of
non-military torsos if possible, you want men-at-arms, get the KK
polybag, at $2 its a good deal.   Sure Star Wars provides peasant type
torso but after you aquire so many of them the whole kingdom can start
looking like clones of a few individuals...  I have many SW torsos I
got from the  most recent Auczilla, some without hands :^)


A question, when talking about shields are we talking the "Teardrop"
or 'Triangular' shaped ones, or both at the same time?

Pre-ordering doesn't bother me once what  is being ordered is locked
down.

1. Someone needs to volunteer to draw up a template to show how many stickers can fit on a standard (8.5" x 11") sheet of sticker paper. Current estimates are at 80-90 stickers per sheet. Whoever does this must give the printer 1/4" blank space on (...) (26 years ago, 8-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
