13k in 6 hours.

**xole**

This is simply fantastic. I may have to bump up ten dollars for the sake of bumping up ten dollars. I may get a second number 6, but I have no idea why.

**Hulksmash**

@HBMC

At that pace we'll hit tomorrow night around 7pm central american time. That'll give us 3 more days to go until it closes so I hope there are some more stretches

**H.B.M.C.**

Two more days I’d say. There are points in the 24 hour cycle where North America and Western Europe sleeps. It can’t all be down to us Aussies to make things happen.

**CURNOW**

Wow only $1200 off the next target and did twice as much money yesterday as the 2nd best day $55.395 in 24hr

Think there gona have to look at another strech goal after ridick

Well, they're both - you get a set of drones and facehuggerheadcrabs with each biohazard set, but you can buy extras.

And if you don't have enough of these things....
Each Biohazard set already comes with these, but if you need more, here they are! Ships with the rest of them in March 2013, unpainted and unassembled.

You're $30,000 off. And you got my hopes up.

**Sikil**

not-Riddik is the win, as is the not-Serenity crew...

DAMN YOU McVEY! You freakin' kill my poor wallet!

Yeah for some reason i was thinking there was a 490 target. ..need more coffee in the morning

**Kroothawk**

Just to show what everybody is talking about but is not yet posted:

And so... the end is near. We therefore present you the violent, dangerous, mysterious, Keegan Kor! If we hit this stretch every Biohazard set will have Keegan lurking within! (You'll need to paint and assemble him though, if he'll let you).

"The Solar Conglomerate rarely issues death orders for escaped convicts or conscripts, but the fugitive known as Keegan Kor, the Snake of Garrado, the Blade, King Kor, or Keegan Rampage, is one such individual.

A top ten fugitive on the Bounty Dog Network for six years running, his crimes pale in comparison to his exploits as a fugitive. Convicted to a conscription sentence for illegal free running and snatch theft, Keegan soon found himself evading the law using quick wits and an unnatural talent as an autodidact. He has been at large for almost ten years, becoming increasingly more skilled at escape and evasion to the frustration of Solcom enforcement and BDN agents.

Prior to his conviction Keegan was a non-augmented human in perfect physical condition. Since then, he has been amplified by black market chop docs and Gazui clan enforcement medics. He boasts an impressive array of edge Amps that enhance his considerable survival instincts and acrobatic abilities. Considered an expert knife fighter, Keegan is to be approached with extreme caution.

Despite his reputation, when faced with life or death survival he often places the survival of others above his own. In many cases he has saved his own potential captors from death, and even put an end to the pirate Czarna Kolt’s reign of terror along the Meridian Edge.

His status as a cult figure and the ratings he pulls in on the BDN has led some to believe that he may actually be a media figure created for the benefit of public manipulation. Still it is assumed that the Fugitive has now made contact with the Firebrand in order to find amnesty from the constant pursuit by the BDN and Solcom Regulators.

The reward for his live capture is substantial."

BTW there should be fan rules for all the Sedition Wars and Zombicide and Hasslefree characters, transferred to each of the two games.

**Panic**

Yeah,
I'm debating On increasing to we've got movement.
I could buy these for $45 (Second set of tiles $25, 6 drones $10, 6 facehuggers $10)
Or for $105 for a complete second biohazard set. (including international postage)

I think I need to stay strong and just get the game terrain and characters.... Does AI drone two need baby drones?

panic...

**zedmeister**

Good grief, take your eyes off for a few days and its nearing $500,000! Not keen on the not-riddick as I am about all homage minis, but if its free so be it! Wonder what else they'll roll out. I'm currently sat at $175 - Biohazard, Lights Out pack and the $25 P&P. Everything else can wait.

Shame they don't look at releasing some limited resin in-universe not homage character boosters. I can see those being popular as I've seen a lot people voicing disinterest in homage characters.

**Makaleth**

I'm all for more homage characters, they are still in game special characters and in this game we can expect a VERY high quality sculpt. Perfect for a one off like a kickstarter.

I would also suggest that they start adding freebies at higher levels of combined pledging. This would encourage people to bump up to higher levels and be a way to keep some of the freebies rolling in without it being too onerous.

I am currently at around $200, but that's because I love the homage stuff (getting all of it). But if for the next freebies I need to add a little more to share in them, I would most likely push my goal up.

Exact same way that Mantic rolled me and my poor wallet of $245!!!! Needed to hit that $225 goal (darn non inclusive postage costs

)

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Yeah I got the lights out as well, was unsure when I first looked because something in my addled brain said I needed to buy all three packs at $110.

When I saw it was only the $50 one, I was right in.

Hoping to see more things added, and can stretch maybe another $50 if need be

I do like the idea of Lights Out now. I hope they'll give us an option to get lights out versions of the AI Drone, Grendlr and Cthonian

**Avariel**

Yay Serenity crew. In for $20 more.

Will they be doing strain versions of the Serenity crew and main characters from the box set. All the extra characters up to this point seem to get strain versions.

**Commander Cain**

While these stretch goals are nice, I don't recognize any of the homage characters apart from not-6. I think there may be others out there like me who would be more interested in some more alt sculpts for the strain or vanguard. Whatever the case I will probably just spend the money saved on not buying the characters on more drones and scenery!

Also, I could not figure out if all the tokens in the set had been upgraded to plastic. The infection markers obviously have but I would love to see some cool looking see-through nano cloud markers also!

I would enjoy some vanguard who were in poses other than pointing gun forward

**Commander Cain**

Indeed, a couple of kneeling troopers would also be nice.

I'll bet Mike and co. are counting down the hours until they can stop with all the stretch goals

**Alpharius**

Doubtful - as each stretch goal brings in a LOT more money!

**Myrthe**

I think I'm going to HAVE TO double my initial Biohazard pledge !! And get a few of the not-Serenity crew ...

I'd love to see them make those scenic bases available, too. Maybe in sets of 10 of each size? I'd use them with so many other miniatures !!

Ok, let me rephrase that... I'm sure they will be relieved when it's all over and they can sleep

Yes! Pretty sure these are the same bases but we certainly need some bigger sets and maybe in plastic also.

THAT is a good idea - I'd like to get more of the bases, and in plastic too!

Maybe?

This has got to be an exciting time for them.

I have to think they've got something special lying in wait for us in an attempt to whip the gaming public into a pledging/increasing their pledge frenzy in an effort to overtake Zombicide's ~$700K - with a 'dare to dream' goal of topping Ogre's ~$900K!

OH, I didn't know they offered those. Thanks.

And the KS campaign just topped $500K !!!!!

**Grot 6**

By the way,

What was that company that made the either plastic or resin spaceship hallways, ala spacehulk?

I would like to get me a delux set of them to add in between the cardstock tiles.

Along with that, I really like the range that this game is poping out.

going to end up padding around 500 or so for the final count, seeing how this is shaping up. Along with that, is there a sourcebook already out there, on this "Sedition Wars" world? I see on the site that there are a few metal guys, do they work in this game as well?

*Note to self, make sure you fill out the survey correctly so I don't end up forking over a cool grand for the damage.

**Alpharius**

With 4 days left to go and surprise stretch goals to come (I'm convinced!), this thing will end up over $600K most likely!

I can't figure out what would be a good stretch goal to really get everyone going though...

It will undoubtedly be a 'homage' character figure though - but who?!?

**MajorTom11**

Hit 500k just now, where you at now doubters? lol

I don't think that would work, at the moment I see this jumping if there is a big advantage in jumping up from biohazard. There seems to be a lot of people on the edge.
