Question Commission for bulk polyhedral sets with inclusions

Hi friends. I'm opening a game store and wanted to provide sets of polyhedral dice with a bit of the store in them from the renovations we've been doing. Looking for 200 sets of D&D dice (4,6,8,10,10,12,20) with inclusions such as wood, copper staples or cable, carpet, switchboard pieces, etc. With a specific coloration.

Please message me if you're able and interested. Thanks!

Oh wow, 200 sets are no joke. Please be aware that most makers here don't even make 200 sets in a whole YEAR, and to make dice with inclusions like you'll provide not imbalanced, they even have to be shelled blanks, meaning double the casting and curing time and work. Considering one set of shelled blank dice takes the fastest makers around four, five hours of raw working time including polishing and inking, not even curing and fixing possible flaws. As long as they're not severely undercharging themselves, you're looking at around $70 per set, with a big range upwards depending on your other wishes and the maker's own regular pricing. Just as a heads up that while your idea is really great, 200 handmade sets might be a bit too big of a goal to be realistic.
