I know folks wanted to get past the holidays for a potential group order of shields. Well, we've definitely let some time pass. Who is still interested?

Actually, can you guys chime in with which models you're interested in? To recap, here's what Allan quoted us:

Quote from: Allan Senefelder on 2011-12-12, 16:06:03
Late heater $160.00, early heater $190.00, Anglo-Saxon/Viking round shield $250.00, teardrop w/ boss $250.00, teardrop/no boss $210.00. Those are all less than we used to sell them for.

I'm in for possibly a late heater and an early heater, but I need to decide that. I'm getting at least one.

The other question then becomes (and this may be a question for Allan), how would be the best way to handle this, in terms of shipping? I'd be OK with having them shipped to me, and I can hand them off to people as opportunities arise, if it'll save on shipping costs.

Sir Edward, if you wouldn't mind taking that on, that would be great!  Of us all, you're the one we're all likely to see at some point, being as you're the Knight Commander and all.  I'm not volunteering you, mind you, just stating that I'd be in agreement, and hopefully we all would.

For me, I'll go with a late heater as I'm slowly moving into the 14thC which that shield should fit right in, no?  25" long x 22" wide or thereabouts, right?

I'm in for a late heater. I'm not sure if it would fit in a mid to late 14th Century kit or not, but I really like them.

OK, I have people down for these:

Sir William:  1 late heater
Sir James:  1 early heater
Sir Matthew: 1 late heater

Anyone else want to jump in at the last minute?

If no one else has anything to add, we can probably go ahead and get the ball rolling on this.

What's the plan for collecting the money? Should we all send our payments to Sir Edward or individually to Allen? It might coordinate better if we have one person collect all our monies and then send it off to Allen.

I was going to suggest everyone pay Allan, but I'm flexible. I'm waiting for him to get back to me after he does some math on materials, and see if we have enough shields in the group order.

Hey all, Allan wrote back and it looks like we're ready to go. Do you all want to send me the money so I can pay him in one lump sum? Or would you rather all get in touch with him individually?

He's OK with either, and so am I. He's estimating something like $40-50 shipping each, but he said he can settle on that as they're finished. Since he doesn't have the materials yet, we need to pay up front so he can get them.

Let me know what you want to do.
