I would like to introduce myself. I am John Olsen, President of Black Tree Design. This is my first time posting on Grogheads.
I have been actively involved in the Miniatures Business for over 30 years (ouch!) and have recently taken over the reins at BTD. We have an enormous range of Miniatures and are looking to the future. We are planning a great deal of expansion in 2015 and I would like your help. We have a hefty WWII Range, what should we add? Anything particular you would really like to see? Your thoughts and suggestions would be really appreciated.
I look forward to hearing from you.
John Olsen

Panzerkleins! Definitely Panzerkleins!
J/K :)
Actually, I checked out the site and had some trouble navigating. For example, under 'Historical-WW2-German forces... ' there is a clickable image that says 'Vehicles and Guns-36 items' but there are only 9 items visible with no 'page 2, 3 etc' showing. There's a Pz3 as page art at the top but it was not listed as a buyable item.
Are you in the process of setting up a new web site? If so I look forward to checking out the vehicle minis when it's all set. O0
First, thanks for checking in John. I've been buying Black Tree minis for over a decade. You folks have some great figs. I really appreciate your dedication to WWII.
Keep going with the Dr Who stuff! I was only recently made aware of Black Tree's Dr Who line. It's awesome and I hope you can expand it to include the modern crop of Doctors.
Fantasy football teams! You're close already; you have a number of the correct races but remove the weapons and have them in sets of 12. For example, a Dwarf football team would consist of 6 blockers, 2 runners, 2 blitzers and 2 "special" players. I'd love to buy some FF teams from you guys.
Hi Staggerwing,
Thanks for taking the time to post.
My apologies for the confusion regarding the vehicles. We recently removed all vehicles from the website. We plan on Re-doing many of them next year. We are working on a new Website and have not updated some of the items pictured on the current site. Sorry about that.
Hi Mirth,
Thanks for your continued support :) Really glad you like our minis.
We are thinking about expanding the Dr. Who line. Do you think there would be enough interest?
Hi GJK,
We have a small foray into this market many, many moons ago with the Slaughterbowl miniatures. Only a few were done and it never really went anywhere. With the huge and increasing interest in Fantasy Football, maybe we should look into this again...
Thanks again for all the thoughts and suggestions.
Cheers
John
You do Dr. Who stuff!? :o
[rushes off to check...]
Yes we do mate :)
Doctor Who is about as popular globally as its ever going to get. strike while the irons hot.
