Another stretch goal unlocked! Security droid stretch goals alone exceed the $30 of the Salvage Crew metal miniatures pledge level!

Cool!
However to be accurate, we're still 5 bucks away from $30 worth of droids. Not complaining though. This was a great deal long before any stretch goals were reached!

I've been in other kickstarters that were more "exciting", but I'm not sure I've ever pledged for a kickstarter where I was more sure of what I'd be getting, that it would be delivered in a timely manner and that it would be useful in my gaming.

Just logged in to say i backed this for both sets so its now gone past that $5..... I dont know wtf im going to do with a load of dead animals but your know, its limited ed.

Salvage Crew Workbench updates

With less than 30 days remaining, The Salvage Crew Kickstarter and Road Kill Corpses limited edition set will be ending on the last day of this month. As of this posting, the project has over 160 supporters. Check out the “UPDATE” section where I will be posting workbench images of molds and casting production of the more than 27 science fiction 28mm metal figures you can receive when you pledge $30.

8K reached! 7 drones and 20 Salvage Crew miniatures for only $30!

Awesome! I was hoping to get another one of those mini droids. I wouldn't be surprised if this makes it to 10k, but if it doesn't I'm already more than pleased.

Salvage Crew is only $72 away from the next stretch goal! That will be 28 metal post-apocalyptic figures for $30! Also useful for the upcoming Paranoia RPG!

A buddy of mine just painted up 6 of the figs that are in this kickstarter.  I put up a blog post about them and 3 other salvage crew type figs that he painted up for me.

A sample of what's inside.

7 backers away from the 10K SG! That will be 29 metal post-apocalyptic miniatures (including droids!) for $30! Only 4 days to go!

EDIT: Ten bucks more to the 10K SG!

$10k has been reached!

This is a pretty amazing deal with less than 60 hours left so jump in before it is too late.

And has been pointed out, this make an excellent starter set of models for a game of the (newly-kickstarted) Paranoia! Loyal troubleshooters, mutants and lunatics, and over-zealous security bots.

I don't know where he's getting his metal from, but it's clearly at a better rate than some manufacturers are complaining about!

Also, it's not just about metal costs, time is a factor also. A bunch of nearly identical kickstarter orders are much faster to cast and deliver en-masse than many varied orders. This is especially true for a small company MegaMinis/JohnnyBorg who used to do much of their casting on-demand as figures were ordered.

But yes, it's an amazing deal.

My Pledge was shipped this weekend! Looks like he's on track to ship everything out on schedule as promised.

If anyone missed out on the KS, I'll be willing to part with the following figs. Mostly one's I already have.
Up for trade:
-5 body-armored troopers and..
Based on the main pic (proceeding L to R, top to bottom)...
-Missile launcher girl
-Guy with cutting saw
-Leader pointing
-SAW girl
-Armored sniper
-Punchy armored guy
-Might also be willing to part with not-C3PO

PM me if you're interested.

Arrived today. With a couple exceptions (nothing major), these are really clean casts!
