Got mine, and.....OK, when they said "Monster", I thought they were talking about the premise of the game, not the size of the box. I won't be able to open mine before I shoo away all the ape-men who are learning the secrets of civilisation from it.

Nearly drowned my keyboard in coffee.

UK Backer. Core Survivor Box arrived today. No emails or anything. Still waiting on Wave 1.

Woo Hooooo!

Woop

Late backer Wave 2 turned up. Not even sorted my wave 1 yet! Busy evening ahead...

Apparently all EU orders were shipped out on Monday so it's just up to the postal system now. Ulisses Spiele confirmed that they sent all tracking information to Adam Poots Games to issue to backers so it looks like the game will arrive long before any tracking information.

Why am I not surprised?

Both wave one and two came in today, sadly I wasn't at home, so I only got the wave two box.

I HAVE KINGDOM DEATH MONSTER. MY BACK IS KILLING ME.

Unexpected parcel in the post today.

It's so big, I don't even know where in the house I can store it.

It feels more like a piece of art than a board game, I am in awe of it.

Got my wave 1 and 1.5 here in Wisconsin. Now all I have to look forward to are those awesome expansions (God I can't wait for the dragon king and spidaculies expansions )

Any word on when the instructions are supposed to go live? There's an extra mini on the introduction / prologue sprue that looks awesome, but how the fething feth is that thing supposed to go together? I tried dry-fitting but the parts don't exactly fit together, at all.

The butcher? This helped me with some of the pieces: http://shop.kingdomdeath.com/products/butcher

Many thanks!

It was still a bit of fething around but in the end, after clipping away the peg of the cloak that was supposed to go onto his back, I managed to stick it all together, fiddly bits included.

Sob nothing for me today (although it's probably for the best as nobody would have been in to accept it)

Fingers crossed for tomorrow

BGG has some assembly videos in their videos section

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/55690/kingdom-death-monster

apparently many (all) of the minis have all their parts labelled with the same letter/number so you should at least be able to identify what goes with what, also if things don't seen to fit try rotating them around, I've seen several who have found that things fitted in 180 degrees from the way they thought the were meant to if you see what I mean

I'm sticking together the prologue stuff for now and hope that gak gets together on the other end sooner rather than later. I get that for some figuring out the assembly is an adventure, but I want this done right and just get to it, not spend who knows how long trying to figure out how it should go together.

Also, I did notice that parts were labelled, which is nice, but when assembling the butcher, it would be nice to know which little jawbone piece goes where and when.

Adam posted in the comments a few days back that he hasn't had time to do the assembly instructions yet and it likely won't be available until the retail release date (which is probably Black Friday)

.....Build Guides were always meant for retail release. I was scheduled to work on them as of last week, however resolving tickets from bakcers, ensuring logistics companies do what we are paying them to do and packing the rest of Wave 1 takes priority. If I were to stop and finish the build guides, thats around 100 packages / issues that do not get resolved per day. And no, hiring someone to just "fix it" it does not always work out. I am the boss, the buck stops with me. They will go up when I am ready to post them.

My Monster box arrived today too, I can hardly believe it's finally here!

I haven't opened it yet because I've been too busy with other things, but damn, the matte black box covered in cellophane looks good

My wave 1 and 2 are here!!!! when are we expecting wave 3? (Also, still looking to buy up other folks wave 3 expansions)

Wave 3 expansions are Q1 2016.

Have patience, and work on your Wave 1 & 2 stuff.

There's a thread on BGG regarding assembling the hands on the Phoenixes' wings with numbered assembly. I would recommend checking it out when folks get to that point if you want to keep your sanity in check.

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1443242/phoenix-assembly

Those were really helpful for gluing in the 30 hands that need to be added to the two wings of the phoenix. I got my box last week and have been building the miniatures in a weird order. I started with the white lion, moved to the screaming antelope, then the phoenix. The kingsman, watcher, hand and butcher came next. Tonight I'm hoping to finish the starting survivors. Then I will be magnetizing all the armor sets and building the extra minis as I have time.

They are very nice minis, but require lots of filing to fit right. I built my lion a little too quickly and now I'm going back and filling a few gaps.

Mine arrived early this morning, the waiting till I can crack it open this evening is going to be hard

Just out of interest, was your T-shirt included in the package? I was a late pledge for Survivor-level only (although still qualified for a shirt), but I wasn't sure if those were being sent out separately if you didn't order anything else.

€34,87 for my wave one parcel. Could've been worse I suppose.

All the T-shirts will be coming direct from Adam in the US (as part of the Wave 1 package, as a late backer I'm not sure if you'd qualify for a free white speaker but if so that would be coming with the shirt)

(The survivor box will, however contain however contain the free twilight knight)

Decided to stick together some of the add-on content, including the Messengers of the Spiral Path, Humanity, Courage and the Twilight Knight. Wow, a massive step up from the lion and the prologue survivors, a bit fiddly here and there, especially the armour of Guts, but so much better looking!

You folks that are going to magnetize; braver and more patience people than I could ever be.

I was honestly considering it at one point, but looking at the size of the models, effort required and the fact that the magnets would have to be small enough (which would reduce their strength and probably result in more than a few disintegrations during gameplay), I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion of just assembling the armour sets and relying on gear cards.

Even if they release armour packs, I can see it being vastly expensive to build new survivors each time and that doesn't include continuously painting. Though, I suppose if a group of you are regularly playing, buying enough to build your own custom survivor would work fine

It's a flawed concept, we simply decide to only build the mini in question once we have a set bonus or scrounge together something that's suitably awesome.

I think this may be the path I take.

Or just build "cool gak."

I'm not touching them until I can figure out how to assemble the damned Watcher, though.

INSTRUCTIONS, POOTS! INSTRUCTIONS!

Same here, though I have stuck together the prologue contents, the Butcher, a King's Man and several of the promo / add-on minis. The rest will have to wait, Phoenix and armour kits in particular. We may opt to grind for parts here and there to outfit at least two survivors with something shiny.
