1. Are there now different sizes of men and fields, I ask because I keep hearing about the 67 big men?
There are a number of sizes but they all work together on one field.
-Original Tudor and Miggle men are the smallest scaled figures
-67 Bigmen were created in 1967 and recreated by Buzzball and Miggle in recent years. They are very close to the same size of each other but bigger than the original Tudor and Miggle men.
-FootballFigure.net has the largest scale but still close enough to the others to intermix them all. Reggie will give you more details on the sizes when you talk.
2. Where is the most trustworthy place to order prepainted NFL teams and College teams. I'll let someone else answer this in more detail but there are many customizers who make these. Check around the site and ask alot of questions. The only college licensed products come from Miggle. There are no licensed NFL teams available other than old Miggle and Tudor teams.
3. Where is the best place to order buy stadiums. Reg (footballfigure.net) is the only one I know that sells custom stadiums but there may be others that I do not know about.
What is the difference between a "380" field and a "620" field are they different sizes? Yes. A 620 is made by Miggle and originally by Tudor and is not as wide as a 308. A 308 is made by Footballfigure.net and has a fiberboard rather than metal field.
4. If I have been reading right some leagues use dice to decide passes other actually use the quarterback, which always seemed very difficult to me when I was younger. Yes dice are used in Texas Shootout Rules but not for passing. The dice determine injuries, penalties etc. Most leagues use the QB and the new TDQ in varied ways (sticks, targets and more) to complete their passes. There may be some that use dice but I am not aware of anyone on here who does that.
5. Is there a reliable place to buy custom made players? I have had good luck with just about everyone who posts in the trading forum but as always, it is a buyer beware environment and make sure you do your research.
6. Does everyone use the bases these days with the little dial? Yes. These are critical to most game plans.
Sorry for so many questions, but there seems to be a lot going on these days in Electronic (Electric or Miniature) football.
I am sure that my answers have only created more questions but keep asking and if at all possible get together with some one in your area. Much of this has a simple answer in speech and a long answer in type. There are alot of guys in the Columbus area who would be glad to help you get up to speed.
