[QUOTE="payn, post: 9614129, member: 90374"] I think there are two schools when it comes to starter sets. One is a cheap get it exposed on as many store fronts as possible starter set. The goal of this set is to just get somebody to sit down for a night and try it out. If it captures them, they will then go on to buying the regular items and the starter set will likley be retired. The point is to make it as cheap and accessible to try and hook new players. The second option, is to put together a quality starter set. This isnt the most affordable option, but its inclusion is mindful of a player that will keep using it, [I]and[/I] add more products to enhance their game. The starter set will be an investment that is useful throughout the hobby. The first is for exposure and brand awareness, the second is for helping your initiated players build a solid foundation. I'd consider those two things when choosing materials and items of inclusion. Also, as I mentioned, if you dont plan to ever use/sell pawns again, maybe skip them in the starter set unless you are aiming for option one here. [/QUOTE]
