Insider Trading (the DM's Craft way)

[Sleepy Hollow Mike]

Yes but I am also working that issue. I am not in desperate need but I hate waste!

[ogrestamp]

If it's over a certain weight, the Post Office will charge priority shipping regardless. But that is not all that expensive.

[ogrestamp]

Also, I would be interested in some bottles as well. I'll reimburse you for shipping.

[Erasmas]

Sorry for making you guys wait!

I finally got around to weighing one of the bottles here at work; and would you believe the looks I got.
LOL

The postage comes out to over $2 per bottle. Not sure exactly what I was expecting, but it was definitely not quite that much. Not sure what to do from this point though. That's more than the glue costs from most stores!


EDIT: Screw it. How many bottles do you guys each want, Sleepy Hollow Mike and ogrestamp?

[Sleepy Hollow Mike]

After checking my PVA supply I cant really get any I mean the cost isnt gonna really be worth the need sorry

Hello crafting family! So I'm being given a really sweet opportunity to run an after school RPG "class" at my sons school, already have 13 kids signed up! I'll be teaching them storytelling, game flow, tile creation as well as crafting on the cheap. Trying to get everything together to actually pull this off, so I'm here begging for any of the following you can spare

Cheap paint brushes
Cheap "hero" looking minis
Random dice
Any bits you think kids aged 12-14 might think are cool

Any help would be appreciated more then you can imagine. Our first session is Nov 9th.

Thank you!!!!

Erasmus, sorry this took so long for me to reply. If you want, you can probably stuff quite a few in a priority box and send it through the mail. The next to smallest book is about 6 dollars and looks like it will hold quite a few bottles. Again, I can reimburse you for this since this is somewhat more expensive, and we definitely wouldn't let that go to waste.

What kind of brushes? For painting scenarios or minis? How small? I think I picked some up at the dollar store near where I live the other day. I've been meaning to go and grab some supplies, I can look for the brushes while I am there.

Man, where were you when I was 13?

[leeinwashington]

Anything helps man, mostly doing terrain work...but i am going to get each of them a mini of there hero to paint

[ogrestamp]

Ok, I was planning on going tonight to the dollar store but putzed around enough that I decided to put it off until tomorrow. Looks like that was a good idea. I will look for some stuff to send your way.

Ok, I went to the Dollar Tree and they didn't have the brushes I thought they had (and yes, I was led astray by a few things...naturally). But I did go to Walmart, which is right next door (I needed some paint to make some flocking), and I found these:





I knew they were good because I was thinking how I could justify getting two

Anyway, give me your mailing address (either publicly or in a PM) and I will get these to you asap.

[grinningskull]

OK, love the idea of this, so wouldn't mind getting involved trading with anyone in the UK (if theres anyone who is up for it!)

I've always got an abundance of weird and wonderful junk, and always looking for new and different stuff.

I'm particularly needing some fantasy adventurer type minis in 28-32mm, as most of what I have is in 15mm (I have greenskins covered, just not much of everything else!) So if theres anyone in the UK who likes the idea of trading this side of the pond, let me know!

As a reminder, there are still dropship options, IE, if you see someone needs something and you know where to get it (online) and you want to contribute to someone's project you can get a shipping addy, and just plug it in when you order it. Billing addy is still yours, but you can ship to another location. Like for us Amazon prime members, I can just search for "craft brushes" and send it off with the usual two day prime shipping. Maulmart still has a lot of free ship to home things, but you need to get over a certain dollar amount. I'm toying with the idea of public wish lists, it might make it unnecessary to even share an address.

The edit: Amazon still sells pounds of polyhedrals, that would supply the random dice need well enough. . .

I am on the look-out for two samurai-styled heads that would fit scale-wise onto a figure roughly 5 inches tall. An action figure or something like that where the head could be easily removed (even easily cut off would be fine). I am looking to modify two of the knight figures pictured below into giant stone samurai statues.

Yesterday I saw a pack of samurai figures, probably 5" tall (or very close to it).  It was at the Dollar General.  I don't remember exactly what it was called, but it was something like Karate Masters, or Kung-Fu Heroes.... or something in that vein.   There were three figures in each pack with a bunch of weapons.  They all had human faces with classic style open-face samurai helmets.  I cant remember if the figures were different sculpts or just different colors.  Anyway, the figure pack was $5.   

[Erasmas]

Awesome! My wife had already checked at the Dollar Tree for me to no avail. Thanks for the heads-up curufin!

[bluecloud2k2]

I myself am looking for the Comicbooks character miniatures that Dollar Tree had at one point in time. My local one doesn't have any except a couple of Supermans... I might buy them to make statues out of or kitbash into demons or something.

I have a TON of 10" cakeboards from work (they didn't have the wax-seal put on them and are useless for food service). I was planning on making some platforms before I decided I needed new Dungeon Tiles.

Anyone State-side interested in a trade? Or I can take pictures of what my local Dollar Tree does offer.

[Erasmas]

Sadly, I struck out at the Dollar General with those samurai. Ours did not have anything like that.

C'est la vie!

[bluecloud2k2]

Erasmus, lemme check mine in the morning. Maybe we can work out a trade if your Dollar Tree has something good.

[Erasmas]

Absolutely, brother. That would be excellent! Just let me know what you're after and I will see what I can do. I'll even send you some glue with it!
Lol
