OKOKOKOK - this is a bit of a long post, so bear with me.
As per the previous ones, I am looking to set up a UK based stock holding of the finest that pinball has to offer. LED wise, there is one name that shines above the rest (see what I did there) and as we know, it is Comet. However, the requirements to stock Comet in the UK is, well, in all honesty, quite vast. The bulbs themselves aren't cheap, I toyed with the idea briefly of getting in some cheaper, Alibaba style bulbs in, but it wouldn't sit well with the other brands coming in and I wanted Comet, because I think that really, everyone else wants Comet (please tell me if we don't!). Getting them here isn't cheap. Holding so much stock of them isn't cheap. Packing kits up isn't cheap. I am talking of dumping £,000's into LED's here, nuts right.
However, we know the transport from Comet, and smaller order values just don't make sense and if people want... Comet. Then that's what it takes.
So in that light (god I'm non-stop aren't I) - does anyone have any requirements to get me started and make the first batch, this can be anything from small batches, to entire game kits. I *think* all in its going to £1.00 - £1.20 per bulb for individuals, flashers will be more.
Game kits will be kits though, so top to toe, backbox, inserts, GI, flashers. All that you need. Inserts will be 1SMD non ghosting bulbs, GI 1SMD or 2SMD -frosted, unfrosted, sunlight or warm white, if there is the demand for cool white I'll get those in frosted and unfrosted too, what's another few £X00 hey
.
As an example, Addams Family - this would be as follows:
GI (Backbox and Playfield) - x 71 Bulbs
Playfield Bulbs x 72
Flashers x 15
Comet Price - $129.99
UK Comet Stock Price - £128.99
Thanks all, your support to get this one off the ground is going to be needed. If you're thinking of a kit, or need some comets, I'm your man
Of course shipping can be combined, more to come, as things get over the line.
