tooldini Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Does anyone know how this will work with the mania products having a code in/on them? Do you think there will only be a couple per 250 bag with a code? Just wondering how this will work because I know it will boost sales ALOT. I pre ordered 5 bags but I am gonna order more cause I am almost out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterling Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 It is not going to hurt sales. If the game is good and the kids play it like club penguin, then you better order cases and cases of mania not just five bags. It is my understanding that all capsules will have a code. I suspect that the majority will be the same and to get into the really cool places of the game there will be "rare" codes just like "rare" mania capsules.

BluePlate Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I always thought this would be a good idea.... My son plays Club Penguin like crazy. It is actually fun and sort of addicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I think that this will be a good item to vend. Just dont put all your eggs in one basket. I would NOT order cases and cases lol. Any word on prices changes to carry the cost of the web site or is brand paying for is with the money they make by jacking up freight cost.

sherlock Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 NO word on cost as far as I've been able to find. I also wondered about that and tried to find some pricing --- but, nothing. There's a small blurp about the new Mania w/codes in the latest vending times, but no mention of price. Considering Brand is adding the codes into the caps via notes like you would find in a fortune cookie, there HAS to be some added production cost to them. I would be very surprised if that cost isn't passed onto the vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Here are some interesting quotes from the article Sherlock mentioned. The full article is posted on our Facebook page. The key difference between traditionally distributed products and Sqwishland is the price point and its broad distribution, the Brand executive explained. "Whereas most ‘Web-enriched' toys sell for $15 or more, a Sqwishland collectible retails for just 50¢," he said. "This makes it incredibly affordable to create collections, and provides kids with access to feature-rich gaming and social content for a fraction of the price of other Web-enabled alternatives." To help fund the Squishland project, which began a year ago, Brand partnered with a New York City game developer, which is said to have its own successful game. A separate company was formed in the Philippines to leverage an inexpensive but talented labor pool. Brand's own design studio, Desert Sky Graphics, is also involved in the project.

amc-vending Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 When I went by Brand a couple of weeks ago and talked to them about it - the price is 19.75 per 250 caps or 19.00 per bag for quanity break, but that was the lowest cost per bag. As far as I know there is no additional costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Awesome,, when I ordered mine a couple weeks ago they did not mention price change but I never asked either she just said $19.75 a bag. I think it will be great and I think kids would pay .50 for them easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooldini Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 If the site is fun and there are different codes for each animal it will do good and help sales ALOT. I think I should get some .50 coin mechs for my 1800 is I there is a such thing. I know kids would pay .50 or more for them. I got 10 bags on the way thats all I could afford for now.

tooldini Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 DId anyone else sign up for beta testing? I think kids will really like it especially for the small price they will pay. I see they are gonna have memberships also so kids will have to pay more to get to some items. Kinda like webkinz starting doing. Altogether I would say its pretty sweet.

havending Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Im not impressed at all with the squashland site. I see that they are selling memberships to the site. So i guess the free code doesnt unlock the entire land. Brand always finds ways to add cost. I do like the machine finder this will be a GREAT locating tool.

mizugori Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm a little confused... the toys with the code to go play online are being sold by brand or by this coolzips company?? Does anyone have a link to where you can buy them... I am looking on brand's website but I don't see any mention of the internet codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Brand sells them. So kids get a code to play online stuff along with the pencil topper they were gonna buy anyway f reakin awesome idea and sales should go up. if not no big deal cause they still sell like crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Snacks Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Yea, that delivery date just keeps moving back. Back in April, I was told early June, then is was mid June, late June and now July! I did receive some stuff, but it was too late for this cycle. It seems like stuff gets shipped piece meal "when we can get to it". I had a feeling that this was going to happen. So I am glad that I found some squishy alternatives from SSM, Actionmatic, Cardinal and All Star. Brand may have actually done me a favor, since this new mega animal mix is moving pretty well and is a bit cheaper. Let Brand know that competition is on the rise and there are some new squishies in town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
