but nobody likes Aztecs,

FSN - are you trying to give FK a heart attack   :)

I think a wish list of things you want (that are already avaliable) is a brilliant idea.

Then Partners or children (Fathers day is comming) can go on the wish list see what you like.  Order it easilly not worrying if the figures have the correct hat etc ( as you have alreacy done that) and order you a nice present instead of Socks or a Coffee table book on views of Hadrians wall ( as its history?????) .

Stop pinching my lines.......

Least Aztecs would be marginally useful, unlike c18th Brits in strange headgear.....although one would need to do more than just Aztecs, it should be called "Mezzo American" and have Toltecs, Incas etc in it.

Marginally useful for what - conversion into feather dusters?  :d

Sorry.

What I want is some Centurions. Tanks. Not Romans with the plume on the wrong way. 

See, it's just not very catchy.

The Wish List idea is interesting, but we'd have to work out how best to go about it.  The website will currently store what you add to the Basket, so you can fill it and return again at a later date to Checkout, so you could always fill it for your family to pay for?  Having some kind of monitor on every Basket would be tricky, as it would recognise every Basket in the system, whether people had 'Wish List'ed the items or not, and potentially we'd have all sorts of stuff coming through, even though some of it may never have been intended for purchase?

It's a numbers game, and a tool built with experience. The idea is for projected/intended purchases rather than immediate shopping basket purchases.

For me it would help in planning my purchases, and Pendraken should be able to get an idea of overall purchase intentions.

For example, You WHEN you release the Centurion, 27 people add 83 Centurions to their wish list. Within a month, 14 people buy 39 Centurions. Next you release a T62. 35 people add 101 T62s. You know that then hit rate for a Centurion was about 50%, and so you could expect about 17-18 people to buy 50 T62s in the next month.

Like I say, it's a long game, but could be a predictor of sales volumes.

I think it would require a lot of coding work from Matt, so we'd have to put something like that at the end of the queue, as there's a lot of things we need doing on the website first.

Just found something for my wish list. see 10 million views topic.
can i get one of them at the check out or even borrow one for a short while.
oh and Centurions, T55s, Btr50s and some 6 day war infantry all sides BUT the 10 million views topic just keeps me wishing.

The main problem with wish-lists, and mine in particular, is that they change from day-to-day. Any wish list I devised would be obsolete by the time I could afford to pay for the figures.  :(
