The MBS Dice Ordering Thread - UPDATE: The Dice Have Arrived!
« on: September 18, 2014, 03:13:08 pm »
Ordering Instructions

Schedule:
Ordering will close on 1 October 2014
Production will be complete in mid-December
Goal is delivery in time for Christmas!

Colors:
The MBS dice will be offered in 4 colors as seen in the samples below:





For ordering purposes, the colors are (left to right):

Copper
Red
Blue
Grey

Pricing:
The dice will be sold in lots of 5 dice each, for $5. All 5 of the dice in the lot must be of the same color. This price includes shipping!

Here's what to do:

1. Send me (Ruckdog) a PM with the following information:
- Your full name
- Your full mailing address (Including country!)
- The number of dice you would like to order, measured in lots, and the color of each lot

For example:
Quote
Chester Nimitz
1 Battleship Row
Pearl Harbor, HI
USA

2 Lots Red D6s
1 Lot Blue D6s

2. Wait for me to tell you to pay before sending any money! I'm going to order all the dice before you pay, so you'll only pay once I have the dice in my posession.

3. Once I have confirmed your dice are in my hands via PM along with the amount to be paid, PayPal your payment to andyrucker@gmail.com. In the comments section, include your forum screen name and denote that it is a MBS Dice payment.

To reiterate prices:
 $5 for one lot of 5 dice, includes shipping.

That's about it! If you have any questions, please post them below.

Interesting dice, good price as well. 

Just to make sure the emblem is the 1 or 6?
Also you should of hit me up, could of kicked some design ideas your way.

You'll probably hear from me on a set of copper as soon as Paypal unlocks my account for not giving them my cell phone number.

I find accuracy increases exponentially when more rounds are placed down range.

Good question, I forgot to mention that! The logo is on the "6" face.

PM sent.  Is it sad that I find little things like this exciting?  Can't wait to see them!

I don't think it's sad at all! But then again, you've seen my dice collection, so maybe I'm not the best one to be offering encouragement  ;D!

Okay! I've gotten the order submitted. Chessex has quoted me a revised production timeline of 4 weeks, so we should have these guys in time for Thanksgiving, let alone Christmas!

Much to my surprise, a package arrived from Chessex a few days ago:



It contained the dice, a full 3 weeks early! Behold, 300+ D6s:



I will be getting these emailed out next week. Stay tuned for the final PM requesting payment!

Okay guys! Confirmation PMs have been sent. IF you have put in a dice order, but DID NOT get a PM from me, let me know right away. It means I may have missed your initial order (not to worry though, I have some extras "just in case"). Right now, my plan is to get all the dice sent out by the end of the week!

Any way I could persuade you to put the battle report up on the blog?
