Ya, people would definitely steal them . Or unless you mean they are a gift from the hotel?

Plastic vs. casting metal makes a difference, you're looking at about half the tooling cost. Havn't thought about glow in the dark plastic but that is the nice thing with injection molding plastic, you can change colors and plastic types from each run. To answer your question, yes, they'd be very st...

Actually, I've been finessing some numbers and now I can do 15$US selling price, so about 20$CAD. I plan to offer the first 150 backers a discount @ 15$CAD which is about 11.25$ per Piggy Blox! what do you guys think?, more interested now? but obviously they'd be made of plastic and not metal .........

Well, some good news, I looked at the numbers again and I was able to get the final price down to about 25$US for the plastic Piggy Blox! That would be about the best I could do.

To calculate final cost of the product I've included the mold & tooling cost because obviously it has to be paid somehow. All the other misc. costs like shipping, packaging, tax & duties, KS fee's, no show percentage etc. basically add up drastically... but I don't really care because I thin...

Rozebuds,

Ok, thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Can you go here, http://thecoin8oy.wix.com/piggyblox, and sign up to my mailing list so I can keep you posted on the progress?

What do you think you'd be comfortable paying for the product? in metal and in plastic?

Ok, I appreciate it, I've replied to your message. Looking forward to chatting.

Yes, I'm basically ready to go with the project, my final price is a little on the high side but I think I will try it anyway. I might actually start by making them in plastic first, that would bring the price down.... They really are a cool looking, I have the three prototypes I made here in my roo...

Nope, havn't received one e-mail . That's from posting it on thunderclap and from that landing page linked to a mail chimp list .
