So I just placed the order for 120 of these... Some subtle changes from AI's drawing, mainly because of the complexity of fine lines. But they made the 'star' box bigger. Classic!
If you are interested in one: READ ON and read it all before posting.
According to Combat SWAG's estimate these will arrive on my doorstep in 3 - 5 weeks at a 'delivered' cost of $4.36 each. I'm fronting the cost.
After I give a few gratis to our design contest entrants (Tucker, AI and a couple of others), keep one for myself and give the rest to Frank, there will be 100 available on first-come first served basis one to a customer. Just 100. We're going to keep this small! Price will be... $4.36 each and whatever postage costs. Some kind of flat-rate first class, I am sure. It will be cheap. I am making no markup on these. Just my cost, plus postage and an envelope.
We need to do this on first-come basis, one each, please. So those who have already posted here with an "I'll Take one" are automatically in line and their names are below. I have counted up the folks early in this thread who have said they want one and we have 27 who have committed clearly enough for me to accept their input. Those who posted funny stuff or quips without a definite "I want one" or "I'll take one" are NOT in the list yet.
Note the count-off number. When you put in your I want one and number 'count off' please look at the last post with an "I'll take one" and please put in the next number in line! It's easy.
The guys I have in right now are:
JJbrand11 1.
Timmyb 2.
rotorjager 3.
stag556 4.
TheGerman (it does not say '***k CBS, but I'll take your comment as a yes) 5.

veerg (I know you didn't say it loud and clear, but I know you want one. You have a velcro Dastaar, right?) 27.
Anyone after this post with a firm "I'll take one" with the next number in line (that is number 28) ... is also in line.
Once reach "I'll take one... 100" here in this thread. we're done. Don't send me your addresses or info or anything until later... and please don't PM me! Post a firm "I'll take one" plus your number in line here in public. Once we have 100 spoken for... they are sold. I won't collect anything until I get the patches in my hands!
Again to be in line... the format for the next post is is:
I'll take one 28"
Next post after that should read "I'll take one 29"
Next post after that should read "I'll take one 30."
And noone please say "I'll take 5.... 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35. ONE to a person, please!!
Easy enough? From there, I'll compile the last 73 names and then once I get the patches in hand... get them out to you and collect, etc.
So there will be just 100 lucky Scount survivors who get one
That is unless Frank wants to take the 10 patches I send to him free... and auction him for the benefit of the Scout Sniper Association... I bought some of their rifle raffle tickets, BTW,. And we should all be getting in on that! I think that's a worthy cause that Frank supports.
So if you don't get in on the original 100 I'll take it list, perhaps you can still be one of 10 additional people who can get a patch and benefit the Marine Scout Sniper Assn. Fair enough?
So let the "I'll Take One's" Begin. And try not to turn this into a goat rope ;-)
Cheers,
Sirhr
