I believe that unless your order was US$600+ in the initial pledge (not surveys) you don't get it. (I think it was US$600). You get the three other rulebooks in the slip case if your order is over US$300 (including pledge managers).

What freebies does one get for an order of 'tree fiddy'?

I think my invoice was on the outside of the box, in the clear plastic envelope taped/stuck to the side which had shipping documents in it. If you haven't looked there and are missing your invoice, you may want to check.

Mine was there, ecept it wasn't an invoice, it was a list of contents. It was also underneath a note explaining to customs that it wasn't an invoice, and that the contents of the box were a kickstarter reward, not a purchased product. No receipt exists, no proof of purchase exists, the declared value of the game contents is $20, and the contents of the box constitute a gift as a thankyou for investing in manufacturing.

And because of that note, I didn't have to pay any import tax. If customs even inspected it anyway

Good suggestion, but no dice. However, thanks for prompting me, because in one corner on the side was written in ink "box" and then beneath the wrapping tape, "1 / 2".

So, there we go. Looks like I have to put that missing items form on hold. Thanks mate.

Really? Japanese customs made a stink, and I had to get an itemized invoice and pay ￥2000 to get my first box. They just let the second one through, though.

Forgot what working with metal was like. only bad one so far was scraping a chunk of something out of Howletts taint.

Is 2000 yen expensive?

Google says it's 18 bucks. I tend to think of each yen as an American penny, and it comes out pretty close.

So how long do we have for survey 3 again? I think I'm gonna plan to bank whatever I'd spend on that and save it for entirely new DZ2.0 stuff, especially if it's gonna focus on hard plastic sprues of infantry. Still torn though, if I got 10-20 more enforcers I would have enough to cover most/all marine lists I'd wanna try (if ever) and could sell/wontonly covert my marines with even less regret. And I dunno if 10 peacekeepers is enough

Did I put this in the Mantic thread? It was supposed to be for Myth. Although I did have to pay about that much ($20 US, or thereabouts) for my first Kings of War shipment, but nothing else since then (at least from Mantic). Japanese customs seems just a little random to me.

My dude in forgefall armor or whatever had some gritty crud on his legs, which I couldn't really do much about.

And Chief Ragrad? That guy is a hunk of metal. Geeze. And he's standing on one foot!

I assembled Ragrad yesterday, I really like him.

He's awesome, but I have a feeling I should have pinned him to that base.

I switched his base out for one of the 40mm solid discs that came with some of the models.

So, basically, you switched his base for a base?

Yeah, the mystery material bases are a little heavier, so it seemed more appropriate.

Was Radgrad supposed to be on a 30mm or something? Dude seems like he should be on a 40, since that's what the Ripper suits were on, and he's wearing a custom one, right?

I just put him on a 40 that he came with.

Radgrad uses the same sized base as the Ripper Suits. He should have the same thick plastic base that the Peacekeeper Enforcers will use.

Can someone reedumacate me on how many sprues you get in each battlezone?

If I grab a core world or ruins bundle, just how many sprues would I be looking at?

Had to go back a bit to find that

The Landing Pad set changed for retail - http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/battlezones/product/battlezones-sci-fi-landing-pad.html

Ruins are 2 types of sprue - 4 of each plus a connector sprue.
Expansion are 2 types of sprue - 4 of each

as seen here http://www.manticgames.com/SiteData/Root/File/Mission%20Control/Deadzone%20Kicksarter%20Wave%202%20assembly%20guide-scenerysprues.pdf

So I thought I filled out my DBX survey before. Got a message from them today telling me I hadn't, and they sent me the survey to do. Super easy this time. Better than the previous surveys!

Paypal invoice a few days after the survey and you then have until October 31st to pay for it.

Still waiting on my last shipment. I got that heads up e-mail about them needing backers to make sure we got any change of address into them before that waved shipped out. I did that then got a message a few days later saying it already went out to the old address. Why post a message asking us to update before they shipped them and not use the information!? No idea where it went I was hoping it would get forwarded to my new place but my real estate agent never saw a package at the old place and I still have yet to get Mantic to send a replacement. I am only my 3rd or 4th message to them and still no response. Getting a little heated about this now. Any one else having this sort of issue?

I've switched addresses on them 4-5 times, always emailed Stew Gibbs about the changes, and I've never had a package go to the wrong location. Trust me, I've been their address nightmare-I haven't made their work easy. But they've gotten it done. I think you just had a whoopsy moment from them.
