[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6273468, member: 2525"] I think, after years and years of experience importing manufactured goods from China through Ali Baba, that it is in fact a very safe assumption to say yes, the low price mentioned is the actual price, for each die, regardless of number of sides or color. So yes, $0.02/die. You do not. They come packaged per your requirements, and the bag is a small plastic bag. There is either no extra charge for it, or a fraction of a cent. It's not shipped as just a box of stuff, they always package it per your requirements (and in fact customs doesn't like it if they don't). Yes, but we were already talking about the boxed set. I am talking about just the dice. People constantly claim the dice themselves are expensive, and I am trying to put an end to that myth. And for some reason you have yet to explain, you're still defending the myth even after you know different. I don't get it. What is your motivation to try and tell people that adding dice is expensive when it's not? Even if the dice were a dollar, it's still not nearly as expensive as you were saying earlier. It's LESS THAN A BUCK. That's including the "rule of 5" to account for profit and overhead on those dice. In no way can anyone call that "expensive". The rest was your opinion on who will buy the starter set, and I'd rather not get into that other than to say I disagree and let's leave it at that and see what happens when the game comes out.
