If we can get 70, I can get a decent price break. All would be prepainted, prone, AR. Or.......

Un-painted was 42 + 15 shipping. Little pricy? I guess but fun shit always is. Besides I don't mind spending a few extra bucks to support dudes like that.

They are also substantially bigger than imagined...about a foot long in prone and 5 inches high.

I do agree that there has to be a cheaper shipping method. FWIW, I got the AK prone do to there being no AR prunes. I will also get an AR or two.

I'd buy one if there was a group buy!

Do I need to contact any moderators to start a group buy thread? And if so, who?

Posted: 10/1/2011 9:58:57 AM EDT

[#14]

Lets do this!!! I want one!

Posted: 10/1/2011 10:01:34 AM EDT

I take one standing with an AR.
In a group buy.

Put me down for one in a group buy...AK / AR either one...

Posted: 10/1/2011 10:04:56 AM EDT

[#17]

Put me down for 1 AR and 1 AK

If we do a group buy of 70 , the price for each is only reduced $5. If we got a 40% deposit now, the batch would be ready in late November. Prone/kneeling/painted/unpainted/ar/ak does NOT matter.

At a $5 savings, I think that a group buy would be more of a headache.

I can also say that there will be a GRENADE throwing gnome as well, but can't access the picture right now.

Also, at this point, what a group buy would "guarantee" is that we all get combat gnomes by the end of November. Otherwise, they way they are selling so fast, it could easily be a lot longer.

That's still to high for me.

Agreed. As cool as they are I'll have to pass at that price. Thanks for asking though

Why would anyone buy a gnome wielding a Glock fotay?

In for at least two from a group buy. Nothing says "Get off my lawn!" like a combat gnome in full battle rattle.

Posted: 10/1/2011 11:13:54 PM EDT

I'd buy two unpainted ones if the price was right.

Unpainted ones would be $37 and the painted ones would be $52.

It doesn't seem like enough people are willing to spend $40/$50 plus shipping on these, so I doubt I could get 70 in a group buy. I think that I could do 50, but that is irrelevant.

But again/how/where/do I need permission to start a group buy? And can I put it in GD?

Posted: 10/2/2011 6:02:51 AM EDT

[#30]

Definitely in for at least 2, one AR and AK.

So, tag for follow ups.

Posted: 10/2/2011 6:06:38 AM EDT

I would be up for 1 or 2.

If my neighbor had these I would steal them in the night and put them on my lawn.......pointing at my neighbor.

I'll probably throw down for a couple for the planter and a gift for mom.

I'm still waiting to find out about how I go about starting a group buy within the GD rules, or who to contact...

Mine arrived!!!

Hey OP: What kind of paint did you use? I like the more matte finish on yours VS the other pics I have seen.

Some real cheap acrylic paint. Shawn recommends oil-based Rustoleum, but I wonder if some good ole Testors model paint would work well.
