so here's my 2 cents Get it started.... set order.... get contact information and confirmation (at one point I got phone numbers from certain folks - just in case). Once things start rolling interest grows, people want to join in on the fun and so on..... you wait too long, interest dwindles away and things fizzle out....
If you want to get it started and do the leg work of getting peoples contact info (I guess if someone doesn't reply then we put them at the bottom of the list until they surface) then I'm sure we'd all be happy for you to be the 'starter'.
I still think we need a minimum number, to make the trade interesting and varied enough but we can leave that up to your discretion.
Reached out to all (except for you Andhe since you know your mailing info ) and got so far confirmations from LilCurt and AK. Hoping to hear back from the rest as lost momentum is hard to regain....
With the official blessing of AndHe and Merlins Beard Gods I will be starting the Jambalaya shortly. I started working on the minifigs last night and working out the order (all will be random with potential exception of one member that will be moving so I am working with him to work around the move)

Would it be possible to have everyone in the US to be in order and then other countries like GB (doesn't have to be first). I recall last time a lot of people paying overseas shipping for it to go back and forth a lot over the continents. Other than that, can't wait!

That usually is a plan - last time that one kinda snuck in there.

Since it goes round-robin, it will have to "cross the pond and back" once, but it would be ideal if it only had to be once!
Looking forward to it. Put me toward the first half of the list in case I have to pack my Lego though (but not *right* away, since then it's over too fast, haha). I'm actively house-hunting, so it could happen at any time
To ease everyone's fears of crossing the pond back and forth, we only have one subject of the Queen, and the rest are us - rebel colonists
Regarding the order, below are the results of Excel spreadsheet and formulas I used. Here's an explanation of the process I used: I put everyone's names in order of signup, then generated 5 random numbers, then added them, multiplied by ten and drop off past the decimal for ease of reading. The shipping will occur in the order of lowest to highest number. Btw, Gunnar is going to be <pending> as I haven't heard from him when I reached out to people to confirm their interest. If he doesn't reply back in time, we'll skip him and can always add him on the tail end of it. New people that decide to join in after this starts will be placed at the tail end (unless shipping across the pond becomes the issue and makes sense)
So shipping order Ludzik -> AK -> Lord Silver -> Gunnar -> Jarek -> Andhe -> LilCurt -> new people -> ludzik
I should be able to get things started this week. I am almost done with the figs, need to put some finish touches on them and take some pics and get the accessories and hand/head bag going as well.
So here are the pics - I am pretty happy with how they came out though I will admit to a dilemma between the Custom and Premium Custom. They could easily be exchanged I think as to which one is which.....
< edit > <disclaimer> the figs might get one more upgrade prior to shipping I posted them in their current state to wet peoples appetite and to get the interest up and increase participation - I'm mainly thinking weapons and armor < / edit > < / disclaimer >
