Would you like some Renaissance Dice?

Not sure if this is the right part of the forum, but here goes.....
My club (Wessex Wargames Society) is commissioning several sets of dice in commemoration of an "average joes" FoGR competition we are currently running, incorporating a few sets already made for Stuart Mulligan of Army Royal blog fame - some of you may already be familiar with sets 1) to 4); the two Tudor sets were originally done on white dice, but these only come with black spots, and I think green dice with white spots would look more "Tudor".
If any of you would like to come in on this, it would take most of the sets into a lower price bracket, which would be quids in for everyone, plus you'd have some unique dice. Here are the sets we are looking at, all are 16mm dice (so standard size), with the device always printed (not lasered as some are two colours) on the 6 side:-
1) Tudor Set #1 (Tudor rose): green dice/white spots/Tudor Rose
2) Tudor Set #2 (dragon): green dice/white spots/Red Dragon
3) Maximilian Imperial (eagle): yellow dice/black spots/black Double-headed Eagle
4) Valois French (fleur-de-lys): blue dice/white spots/gold Fleur-de-Lys
5) Imperial Spanish (cross of Burgundy): yellow dice/black spots/red Ragged Cross
6) Royal Scottish (lion): yellow dice/red spots*/red Lion of Scotland
7) Venetian (lion): red dice/white spots/gold Winged Lion
8) Milanese (red cross): red dice/cross of St George on white shield
Other designs could also be considered - eg Swiss, or Papal (not PayPal!).
(* The normal format for yellow dice is black spots; however, the company does a yellow die with red spots as a special item and we are investigating that option; if not, it will be yellow dice/black spots. Another alternative, which would cover the Civil War era as well, is blue dice/white spots/ yellow shield with red lion.)
Apart from the Milanese, we are past the minimum order of 25 per design on all of them, and already up to 50 on types 2) and 3), so you are free to order as many, or few, as you want. We are hoping to put in an order in time to have them back before Xmas (28-day turn-around), so if there is any interest, please let me know asap. I should stress that this is not a profit-making exercise, so what you will be charged will be the unit price (times however many you order), plus VAT, plus a share of the P&P. We currently reckon this is somewhere between 60-70p per die, but more orders will take us into a lower unit price bracket which could lower that by 10-15p or so each.
Any takers?
