      Question about the dice. KoW had 10 dice with mantic splat for $5. Here you want $10 for 6 dice. I can understand there are more colors and the multiple options on the six side. The price still seems a bit much.

      In reference to your comments about the reason for putting names on the back. True one might want a players name, but what if you are a fan of the team but not of that particular MVP. Any thoughts on number but no name( for a cheaper price. Maybe)

      +1 for dice with a dreadball logo. :D

      New backer here...

      I didn't see an answer on whether or not the dice would be etched or screen printed. Was there an official word on this? I would prefer dice that had a "Dreadball" logo over the team logos. I doubt I'll be painting any of the teams the same colors as the studio colors so getting dice that are those colors doesn't tempt me as much.

      I'd be more likely to buy a set of dice which had one for each team and two of the generic logo. Of course the mix would depend on how many dice are usually rolled.

      My feelings about team shirts are kind of in the line of thinking as the dice, though I would be more likely to buy one which said "coach". Being weak willed, I will likely buy dice and/or a shirt before this is done... :)

      Honestly I'm not very fond of the dices and the shirts - they look good - no doubt, but If ever I have Team-dices I will want my teams dices (the same for the shirt), in the colors I paint them. What I would appreciate is a kind of Dreadball Dice, with a Dreadball-Logo instead of a 6.

    6. Avatar-ubume.small

      Creator James Curtis on September 8, 2012

      I do love these t-shirts but since I don't know what team I will be playing (hopefully the tentacle cthulhu dudes if we get them) I don't know what one or set of dice to get. Now if you did some standard Dreadball ones I would snap them up. I'll end up getting a t-shirt and set of dice but atm I just really don't know which one.

    7. Sammie.small

      Creator Ole Ellehøj on September 8, 2012

      @Mantic, i see you point, and i would like to see a DB loge shirt as well, you guys know how to get money from people.

    8. Torment-portrait001a.small

      Creator Malochai, Exiled in Torment on September 8, 2012

      I like the idea of a black Coach shirt, could wear it for all the teams :D

    9. Mantic-logo.small

      Creator Mantic Games on September 8, 2012

      The T-shirt sparked debate in the office - we had "Coach" (since you're the guys in charge) Fanatic (which is a Mantic fan) or the MVP name. We've chosen the latter because of the real-world touch, when you buy a soccer t-shirt, you go for Messi or Rooney, rather than Ferguson or Wenger (or just Coach).

      BUT - I think we could probably do a black shirt, white lettering, with a DB logo and Coach on the back as well. Hmm, we'll look into it.

    10. Robot_icon.small

      Creator John Rees on September 8, 2012

      +1 Coach or basic DB logo on back of T shirts;

      A discount on the full set of dice would seem fair as well rather than $40 which seems a lot.

    11. Missing_small

      Creator Michael Bell on September 8, 2012

      Any chance of a bundle deal to get all the shirts, and/or all the dice? Rather than picking one I would prefer to just grab them all.

    12. Db_judwan_mee-kel.small

      Creator Kris P on September 7, 2012

      Will there be T-shirts for the Female Corporation Team..? Seeing as we're going to reach the stretch goal for them.!!
      I would like to see them get a T aswell with Wildcard on the back.
      Having said that I'm in the same boat that all the other Ts should have Coach, while the F-Corp Team should have Wildcard (Wildcard is just such a cooler name ;) ).

      What are the F-Corp team going to be called..
      The Sarah Connors..?,
      The Isotek 19ers ..!! (I think this would be fitting of the theme.)

      Something along the lines of ISO would be perfect.

    13. Section%208.small

      Creator ray bans on September 7, 2012

      I agree I would rather see COACH on the t-shirts.

      I am hoping for an Alien team with a coach

    14. _yongsoochung.small

      Creator Y. Chung on September 7, 2012

      How about a simple DreadBall logo on the back of the shirts? It would be near the top.

    15. Missing_small

      Creator Adrian williams on September 7, 2012

      Hi. I'm at striker already and I love the dice. Would you a consider $30 for all 4 sets, as the price for sets of six seem a little high, I would still like them all :))))) they do look great

    16. Db-vm-avatar-small.small

      Creator Zen Fairborn on September 7, 2012

      At first I was thinking "Yay! T-Shirts" but now I'm a little bit meh.

      I agree with Ahmad that I'd VERY much prefer shirts that say "COACH" on their backs instead of the MVP's of each team, as we ARE ment to represent the Coaches of the teams we're playing. If they were all changed to that, I'd definitely be keen to buy them.

      Also, a buy-3-get-1-free deal would also encourage me to have a pokemon mindset (gotta have em all!). And $75 is still a decent investment - especially for strikers who are wanting all four teams.

      The dice are cute, but I also agree that $10 for colored dice is a bit high. Maybe throw them in as a lesser stretch goal (i.e.: 185k, with Buzzcut being the 195k reward)

    17. Aquaman_1_0.small

      Creator Aldermac on September 7, 2012

      Besides a possible bulk deal, I'm with some of the others about not having a MVP name on it. How about, as has been discussed, coach plus a number of 00. Or just the number and no name on it.

    18. Charizard%20avatar.small

      Creator Jamie Searle on September 7, 2012

      Actually looking in detail I take it back. Whilst I would still love to get Neon 'Tron' dice I'll put in for all four team dice, they look great. However I'd really like the T's without the MVP names on them. Pretty Please.

    19. Charizard%20avatar.small

      Creator Jamie Searle on September 7, 2012

      I'm well in for the T's! The dice are cool, I also would have prefered a neon-y sci-fi style. I will check the prices of the dice before I add them (likely Corporation only (alongside four T's)). :)

    20. Db-avatar.small

      Creator Bluerodeo on September 7, 2012

      Love the shirt. Any chance the Mantic Splat will be on it somewhere? Like the KOW one.

    21. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Joseph Prozinski on September 7, 2012

      Sorry, you are gonna need to put up something else to get my pledge increased. These just don't do anything for me, especially the dice. I've got tons of dice an I'm going to name my own teams so these just aren't for me. You get something more miniature related and I'll go for it.

    22. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Michael Morfeld on September 7, 2012

      1) Will the logos on the dice be screened or engraved?

      2) Will the logo colors match the pip colors?

      I'm not a big fan of screened logos (especially since it's easy enough to get engraved these days) and I know it may seem anal, but it's kind of off-putting to have the logo color mismatch the pip color.

    23. Avatar-ubume.small

      Creator James Curtis on September 7, 2012

      Well my pledge just went up! I love this kind of stuff!

    24. Torment-portrait001a.small

      Creator Malochai, Exiled in Torment on September 7, 2012

      I'm thinking generic dice would be well received; I'd certainly get some so I don't feel like I'm favouring a team - I love them all :P

    25. Missing_small

      Creator Chris on September 7, 2012

      Hmm, not enamoured of the dice to be honest. Yes they are nice enough, but was hoping for more sci fi looking ones to be honest.

    26. Missing_small

      Creator David Fisher on September 7, 2012

      @Vegabond - cos it's a play on the NFL team, Greenbay Packers. Plus, their armour is red, but underneath they're green. And they can't play in their birthday suits! ;)

      Will the T shirts be the same material as the Kings of War ones?

      Creator Adam Clarke on September 7, 2012

      I agree with the others about price/quantity of dice, it would have been nice to buy some for KoW as well. I'll just stick to the one pack forndreadball though.

    31. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Lee Lowe on September 7, 2012

      They are only concepts, but I have to admit the collector in me says get them all but my other half says no chance!

      Is it possible to have some Dreadball dice that are generic, dreadball logo ?? maybe translucent for that sci fi look ?

    32. Sdogs.small

      Creator Norb on September 7, 2012

      @mindg4m3 - Too late!

      @Mantic - Will the Skittersneak Stealers dice be weighted to roll a 6 every time? It would be fitting :0)

    34. Missing_small

      Creator Joseph on September 7, 2012

      some kind of bulk deal would make it easier for me to get the dice, I wouldn't want just one team not to spend 40 usd on dice.

      Are the dice etched or printed?

    42. Torment-portrait001a.small

      Creator Malochai, Exiled in Torment on September 7, 2012

      @Mantic, are these dice KS exclusive or not? Because I have other dice through pledges, and whilst they're not as awesome, I don't really NEED more at the moment, and can't afford the $40 for a full set if the stretches are what I hope they are ... I would like them in the future, though, if at all possible ...
