I ordered 4 krakens. Considering other people have received their krakens, I would assume that my order shipped, Ive yet to receive anything though.

That's all of the ROW orders picked and packed,

they are now back to packing the wave 2 US orders where they left off

My wave 2 US order arrived Monday. The kraken is quite a kit and khanjira is even larger than I had anticipated. I have the kraken assembled but the poor weather is holding me back from priming it.

Finally got to opening my shipment yesterday. Only had one problem of missing/damaged parts; one guy's head is missing, and not lose in the bag anywhere, and I did not see any of my bases miscast.

There is some warping on the terrain in Dragons Don't Share, but none of it seems to be as badly warped/miscast as the smaller terrain from the first Kickstarter.

All my stuff turned out good except for a few bends here and there. Some hot water will cure it right up.

Mine has been stuck on "United Kingdom 02/19/2015 11:24 A.M. Package departed international carrier facility"

Mine is at Chicago IL as of 20/02/15

This is...Great News?

Good News?

...maybe...Interesting News?

We'll need to know what you've got planned for dinner tonight too, SilverMK2 and angelofvengeance!

All kidding aside, it is good to see people all over the place getting their stuffs, and hearing that it is all of good quality...

Hey, people are posting they are getting theirs, and I can't post that mine has been stuck on the ups tracker for a while?

I haven't looked at every mini, but the Bones II quality (so far) looks better than Bones I.

I'd agree with that. They look a little crisper, and I don't have as many minis that need to be reshaped.

Has anyone else noticed that the bent minis seem to straighten themselves out in near-boiling water? Not always 100%, but a lot of the swords and guns and stuff that i've wanted to straighten have been righting themselves, or getting close to it.

I guess that makes sense as they were cast straight, and they probably bent from being handled.

Yep, same with the ones from last Kickstarter. The only things that don't seem to do this are really thick pieces.

Yay, got mine (Wave 2) yesterday. Small order this time, just a Sophie & this cute little guy:

Anyone have the measurements for the shipping container?

My experience as well. Last weekend I sorted out the division of figs between our group. I didn't dawdle too long on inspection, but they do seem to be better then last time. I wasn't noticing the misformed hands and mushy faces on smaller minis as I did on a number of the first KS minis.

Exactly the same for me in Greece
I tried to contact UPS Greece to find more and they asked me for a specific UPS tracking number which I don't have. I have only a tracking number by Reaper which is not recognised by UPS and they cannot give me any further information without it. I contacted Reaper to ask for it but no response yet...

Mine's arrives in the UK,

again just a small order this time as I didn't want the big box of random stuff

so I'm sitting with part assembled Kraken, Great Old One and Dragon and a couple of now finished Hill Giants

The noses seem to be just as nubby as last time. I really don't see any jump in quality, but I was happy enough with Bones 1.

Bones received. It was a small package with only a handful of items, as I'd ordered, but aside from a little bend to a sword, they look pretty good.

Nice to check another off the list, and only a few months late at that.

Did you get anything from customs, or did it just turn up?

Also, did your ups tracker say anything much?

Still waiting to hear anything about mine - supposedly it is with the "local postal service" which I assume is royal mail.

It just turned up

(phew, if I had been hit with customs fees the £8 'handling' cut to RM would have more than the VAT which would have annoyed me)

and checking just now on UPS it still says in transit

so no help there, sorry, my guess is yours will just appear

Fair enough - cheers

Yeah. Mine has been almost the same for a week now:
Australia 02/21/2015 10:43 A.M. Package departed international carrier facility

I think USPS' webpage is telling Porkies.

A lot of them (from the first KS, anyway) are pretty good at bending themselves back into silly string after they've been reset.

Exactly the same situation here. Even the same date.

Mines been there since the 19th.

And I don't think the list of what I've been sent is what I ordered....

the email generating software would not cope with any name that had a comma in it so your list will not include them (although they were picked)

so just crosscheck what you do get with your pledge manager, but everything should be there

Well, the good news is I have a letter from Parcel Force saying they have my package from Reaper, the bad news is the quite large VAT, customs duty and "Royal Mail Tax" that I now have to pay :(

Ah well!

I thought a few scale shots of my haul would go down well


Great Cthulhu (from Bones I but you need to buy him) vs Mashaaf the Great Old One


Great Cthulhu vs the Kraken


Narthrax, Hill Giants, GW Ork Boy, Kraken

I really should have gotten Narthrax.

Narthrax and the minotaur lord are on my shortlist of must grabs when they become available.

I'm kind of wishing I didn't get Khanjira now. Sucker is just too big. I don't know when I'll ever get around to painting it.

Could have used the money for the kaiju to finance other add ons I won't get around to painting any time soon!
