Possible new Wyrm items

So, I am considering starting to offer up "starter kit" breeding pairs. It would be the usual cost per Wyrm, but you would get two, a guarenteed male and female of the same breed, with a random breeding charm and handler chain, perhaps with some other small accessory like chain collars. I'd have to decide if it would be random common, uncommon or rare, or if I'd offer different sets with known rarity. (IE you could ick a common, uncommon, or rare breeding pair.) you wouldn't know what TYPE they would be, just what rarity. Obviously, the commons would be cheapest, and then uncommons, then rares. I'm thinking $60 for a Common pair, $70 for Uncommons, and $80 for Rares.
Would folks be at all interested in getting mating pairs in a set like this? Might be a good start up for new handlers.

That would actually be pretty cool! It'd be a great idea for new handlers, and if we could pick guaranteed rares [and a breeding pair at that!] it would be a great way to expand breeding populations.
If it's open to all handlers I'd definitely be interested in a rare breeding pair. c: I think this is a really fantastic idea; I know some new handlers are really scared about contacting other owners to find breedings and it would possibly open up more abilities to do so.

That does sound like a good idea c: Especially for those who want to start breeding a certain breed together, but don't know where to start out.

I definitely think this would be a neat addition, but with the usual additions that we need to watch the counts on the Rares/Uncommons. Obviously, a lot of people are going to be interested in picking up rare-pairings, and those will probably sell out like hot-cakes.
It might be nice to see one that comes with the Wyrm-box, too. So like, the two wyrms, their cards/eggs, the charm, and the box to store it all.
Probably a little more expensive, but they would make great gifts, especially for parents who want to buy their kids something they can wrap up.

Oh that goes without saying.....if I did sets, there would be a couple commons, some uncommons, and like, one rare. That's easy enough to moderate.
That would be really cute! Yeah, it would have to figure in the price of the boxes, but I could even discount them slightly to sell as the set. Hmm...definitely something to think about for the upcoming convention season and etsy store. :3

Of course, my brain just went: Box o' Fu
Which is far more amusing than it probably should be.

I love the idea, I'd be totally into it. :D
Would the pair be made to go with each other? Or just two that you picked to put together?
If I were to get one I'd want 2 wyrms that complimented each other color wise.

I think they would just be a random male and female from a specific breed.
When it comes to if 'colors go together', it's completely a matter of opinion.
I mean, some people can't stand orange, for instance. *teases*

I'd think also a random color pick would allow for more interesting results, especially for new handlers. Obviously if you got two blue ones, you'd know the baby was going to end up blue unless there were some weird genes in the mix, but if one was brown and one was pink, the babies you get out of the starter pair would be a fun surprise and be a good intro to how the system works.

Oh woah. These sound like a great idea. ^^ And a wonderful way for newbies to get into/get the hang of wyrms. Fabulous. (Also yes. Box o' Fu. I support this.)
