Hey everyone!
It has been a while since we've done one of these, so I am proposing we draft the Hogwarts Great Hall - 75954 and am checking to see who's interested!
As you can see, pretty much everything in here is useful for castle-building, and the figs are also pretty good (lots of Hogwarts sweaters, but even those figs have some new hair molds - we could discuss parting these figs out as opposed to drafting complete figs)
The set retails for $99.99, and I would propose that 1 share = $50, so that people can go in for a half-set. Max shares would be 2 per person.
IF THERE IS A DIFFERENT SET YOU'D RATHER DRAFT, CHIME IN!!
Once we get enough people interested, I'll start procuring the sets and prepping the list Excel spreadsheet. Payment for the set would be due up front, and I'll charge individual shipping depending on the weight of your drafted parts later. If you've never done one of these online before, they are really fun and have been quite successful over the last few years, particularly once we started using an editable spreadsheet in Google Sheets, which really makes it easy.
I would like to shoot for starting in early-mid February (I might be traveling that first week of the month).
Please chime in if interested!
I am proposing that the "adult" figures be drafted as complete figs (one pick per fig), since several of them have printing that extends from the torso onto the legs (robes). The "students" could be drafted complete or parted out.
Sign-ups:
1 - AK_Brickster 2 - Ludzik (1 share)
3 - Lil Curt (2 shares) 4 - Excalibur (2 shares)
5 - Lady Alice (2 shares)
6 - Capemadness (2 shares)
7 - Falsus (2 shares)
8 -

I'm in for 1 share. But I do propose that figs are parted out. Why? I looked at the torsos and legs and I believe that there are other legs and torsos that can be used to work with this print. If someone wants a matching set, they can bid for it and or trade My $0.02

I am still working on falsus, she's interested but I have not had a chance to sit down and see what her verdict is.

I was thinking we should wait until the participants were finalized, but feel free to draft your opening statements, haha

OK, Falsus is in for 2 shares, so that means there's only one spot remaining, with only a few days left until the end of the month. Anyone who's interested can sign up for either 1 share (approx $50 + tax) or 2 shares (approx $100 + tax). I'll adjust my buy-in to balance things out either way.
For those of you who would like to purchase the set yourself and ship to me, so that you can get the VIP points, just DM me for my address and to let me know that you're going to do that so that I don't buy an extra set accidentally.
Thanks!

OK, we are going to go ahead and start this thing! Please send me $55 for one share, or $110 for two shares (cost + 10% WA Sales Tax) or purchase the set and ship it to me. PM me for my mailing address or Paypal/Venmo handle, whichever you prefer.
Let's also start discussion of any lots that you want to see split, and how the figs should be divvied up. I will start ordering sets as the funds are received.
I'm excited to get started!!

Update: I've rec'd funds from Excalibur and Ludzik and will be ordering their sets as soon as snowmageddon clears up a little out here. I'll also be contacting some of the folks who are primarily offline to see about getting theirs going as well. Thanks for your patience. I got about 24" of snow at my place the last week, and we just aren't set up for that kind of thing around here.

With AK getting all that snow I have kinda held off on ordering the sets, till the weather was a hit better out there. But I should be able to get the first one ordered this weekend.
