Subject: [GZG] Mix N Match, was: Of Vehicles and Nations, Part II - revision
I think a certain amount of Mix N Match is feasible if the manufacturers chose to do it this way. Let's start with the sculptor. You don't have to make every miniature in your line compatible with each other. Instead, you could have a line of 4 miniatures, let's say. I'm not a sculptor, but he could standarize the turret/hull interface for these 4 miniatures. Next, to keep from having to stock all of the various piece, don't do it. Just sell these 4 miniatures with some default combination. Then you market the whole thing as interchangeable. Buy these two packs, and you can interchange the turrets and hulls giving you 4 different models. If you buy 3 different packs, you can create 9 different models. Hoo boy! --Greg
