Re: Starforged GF Stats

This is super helpful data. For me, it's a bit of a relief, as it indicates that this campaign isn't doing as poorly as I feared. We all knew this one was a reach -- the resin sci-fi sets did not sell well, and the team has been VERY reluctant to get back into this arena. It's surprising to me that ...

Re: So expensive :(

FWIW, I find that these kinds of discussions are almost always somewhat empty, because what underlies everything is just "I think they should make the stuff I personally like." ;) We don't have access to any relevant data. We don't know their costs. We don't know their profit margins. We d...

Re: So expensive :(

I think the other elephant in the room, something various DF folks have mentioned in the past, is that everyone on the DF team is a fan of this stuff. And while that often means nothing more than "woo-hoo, we're just like you!", in this case the more important gloss is that it means they'r...

Another use for Starforged

Watching the stream build of the underground bunker (linked in campaign Update 9, for day 7) made me realize that there's a hidden use for Starforged that really appeals to me (and may not appeal to anyone else): present-day builds! Until now I've only been thinking of Starforged as a futurist line,...

Re: What else do you want for StarForge?

I would love some version of the modular consoles we got in the resin Sci-fi line. They were a late edition, in one of the harder-to-track-down sets, and they were amazing. You could line the walls of almost any shaped room with them, to make classic 1960s and 70s "computer that fills a room&qu...

Re: So expensive :(

Another thing I was thinking of this morning is the difference between cost-per-piece and value-per-piece. Cost-per-piece is easy to measure, albeit an imperfect indicator of anything because not all pieces are the same. The real question is, of course, whether a piece is "worth" the cost....

Re: So expensive :(

So just for fun... Alpha Core - 18 pieces, $140 = $7.77/piece DoD Vaulted Starter - 18 pieces, $48 = $2.66/piece DoD Remastered Core - 45 Pieces, $96 = $2.13/piece KS1 2 sets - 148 Pieces, $170 = $1.15/piece I realize KS1 can't be counted in the same calculations... but it sure was fun ;) Looking a...

Can we post in Ask the Knightess?

Seems like permissions haven't been opened up there. I have a question! I would love to see some photos of "builds" with the core sets. What I mean is -- obviously with something like the Straight Catwalk/Pipeline set, you can't "build" a layout or a room. But I'm having trouble ...

Re: What is your favourite sculpt?

The various pieces highlighted in the launch video -- like the "cockpit" of the "starship" and the dome -- look OUTSTANDING. But they haven't been dropped yet, it seems. I suppose they're SGs....

Re: So expensive :(

It's definitely pricey, but come on -- what on earth costs the same as it did in 2011? There may be some things, but the vast majority of consumer goods have gone way up in price. All due respect, comparing prices on consumer goods in 2024 to what they cost in 2011 seems counterproductive to me. I d...
