Sounds like what I said earlier, charity after costs

We may be using the likenesses of characters, but that makes us no different from a fan artist at a convention. That being said I will be meeting with an IP lawyer. But this is the main reason for not allowing people to buy 50 of them to sell at their store. That's not what we're about. This is an expensive project, and we're doing it for the fun of it.
Sorry but I don't think you're doing it for the fun of it.

This sounds like you have a business idea and we're your market research and also your main market. If you pull off pre-sales we're also your funding, reducing your risk considerably.

Problem I see is we have no idea who you are and how reliable your company is. You could just as well make 4000 copies to meet the steelbook MOQ, print 4 sets of 1-1000 certs and seal them. Then sell them in different markets. Chances are most collectors won't open theirs and nobody would know better.
