HOW IT WORKS

In a Nutshell

You submit an idea for a kit of hard plastic figures, we post it up on the site and let other people "vote" on your idea by making no money down pre-orders. If enough people "order" your idea, we make it and YOU win!

If you submit an idea for a box set that reaches the minumum of 500 boxes and it is made into plastic -- you WIN the following:

Great! What Do I Do?

1. If you have an idea for a subject that you'd like to see in plastic, let us know what it is in this form here. Remember that it needs to be something that has potential to sell at least 500 boxes.
   • We are pretty sure that suggestions like "Bulgarian Militia in Bulky Winter Underwear, 1893" will never find enough buyers - but we're willing to put just about anything out there to see what generates a response!
2. We take your suggestion and put it up on the Wargames Factory Liberty and Union League Catalog. Wargames Factory fans and customers watching the league will "vote" for your idea by stating how many of the set they would buy if it were to be made. (limit of 9 per person)
3. Once your idea reaches 500 kits we will begin creating art of the actual figures and post them on our website so that everyone can provide feedback. Then we'll make any adjustments or tweaks according to your suggestions. We make figures for YOU and we want to make the figures that YOU want.
4. We finalize the sculpting and the kit goes into production. Including Box Art etc. Once the kit is produced we will send out the 5 free boxes to the individual who submitted the idea.

5. So get started! Click here to submit your suggestion!

Questions?

• Q: How much will these custom figures cost?
• We aim for all of our sets to cost $19.95. For infantry type sets this is generally 24 to 36 figures. For cavalry units, generally 12 figures on horses. War machines will be in quantities of 3 to 4 per set.
• Q: Do I have to pay anything up front?
• No! You don't pay anything. The Liberty and Union League is for gathering the interests of the Wargaming Community. Once your suggestion hits 500 kits we estimate that there is sufficient interest to produce it.
• Q: How much is shipping?
• We have real-time shipping quotes from USPS and UPS in our shopping cart. Once the new kit is available in our web store you can create an order with our shopping cart and get exact shipping.
• Q: Won't it be months between hitting the required 500 Box sets and having the kit go on sale?
• Plastic mold tooling does take some time, not to mention sculpting the figures! However our unique all digital sculpting workflow and close ties to our manufacturer allow us to move quickly. We will also be watching the league to see what ideas are rising quickly and begin prelimanary work on the same.
• Q: What if I don’t like the final figures?
• While this is a possibility, we can't please everyone, there will be pictures of the kit in progress posted for customers and fans to review and offer feedback. As there is no charge associated with our Liberty and Union League individuals are free to decline to purchase when the new kit is released.
• Q: Will Wargames Factory ONLY be making kits from the Liberty and Union League?
• No, we are excited to produce kits and ranges of product that our customers want but we do reserve the right to produce kits outside of the ideas presented in the Liberty and Union League.
• Q: What about other scales besides 28mm?
• While we are open to producing figures and products of a different scale we are asking for ideas focusing on the 28mm scale at this time.

A Brief Word About Copyright

Please refrain from submitting ideas concerning subject matter owned by 3rd parties. Please don't submit "Not 'X'" ideas. Please DO be creative, historical, and original!

Fantasy and Science Fiction Submissions - some guidelines.

When you submit a topic for consideration to the Liberty and Union League, there are some things to think about. Science fiction and other subjects drawn from imagination rather than fact are often the work of specific creators; that work is protected by international copyright and other intellectual property law. As an example, nobody owns the rights to the word "ogre". However, attaching the word "Shrek" to an ogre, and portraying him as green with funny ears and a smart-alec donkey leads to serious IP violation issues. Obviously, Wargames Factory is not about to accept submissions which lead to questions of IP violation.

YOU MAY ask for subjects of a generic or folkloric nature; elves, dwarves, goblins, orcs. You can ask for future soldiers in power armor. You can ask for tentacled aliens, grey aliens, big lizardy aliens.

YOU MAY NOT suggest models of things you saw in a movie or a comic book. It doesn't matter if nobody is making models of those items, or if nobody intends to. Some small companies in the past have chosen to make models that are 'almost---' or 'not ---', but Wargames Factory is not willing to do that. Unless we have a license to make proprietary models, we won't.

YOU MAY NOT suggest models that are copies of models made by another company, either presently or formerly in production. We will not make figures that mimic a previous version of another company's current product.

So, please use your imagination, and please look to sources that are not simply someone else's creation. We'll make all the wizards you like, as long as they aren't actually called "Gandalf". And no, 'Gandalf the Off White'; doesn't count! ;-)
