so 15 is arbitrary and we'll probably adjust or calibrate this on cost and how many actually want it.
but let me be transparent about my rationale:
If we assume the general run is copper, then we are left with disappointing the folks who DO want rose gold (I actually am personally among them).
So then the question becomes how to economically do both and SELL both.
If copper is true canon then the rose gold becomes a nice to have, and there will be less folks who want it vs the copper. So now we have to figure out how to make that a compelling offering to justify what most certainly will be a higher cost due to the smaller boutique nature of that offering and the pricier raw materials used.
The BIGGEST compelling way to do that is to set that offering apart by making it limited and exclusive. Because it being "absolute canon" is not the differentiator.
there is a "second kind of cool" that comes from being able to say "I own one of only X of these ever made."
I arbitrarily said 15 but that is just a number I threw out. The idea here is to make it a number that covers you all who've been supporting this from the start, while keeping the number small enough to achieve that exclusive nature.
I can't even be sure this is achievable in any sort of way yet until we hear back on costs and gold plating capabilities. But I suspect we can do it but it will be pricier. So we have to offset those costs somehow and still make it a compelling purchase for you guys.
make sense?
if we can do a rose gold offering, I assure you guys who have been loyal supporters of this since embarked will not be left without the hilt you truly want.
FWIW: the steel Solo's Hold Corran Horn is an example of this.
