$600 WOW! That's some serious outlay right there! God, I hope you enjoy this game, hell, for $600 you better feel like your Kara's lover and you're fighting by her side on the Space Station......that's virtual experience money that is!

I wonder if people like me just sat pressing F5 is spoiling the KS for other people?

Wow up to $866,000 now! You know, it might just do it!

Incidentally, why is there so much bad air being blown about on the BGG forums?
The miniature quality in this game looks like it will crap on most of the stuff you get in 98% of board games by a country mile.

A false sense of entitlement, which leads them to believe that Studio McVey should have published the rulebook (& cards) months before release.

Also, a lot of them have "issues" with the homage models, despite them not being needed to play. I get the impression that a lot of them couldn't care less about the miniatures, the heathens...

Well, I save a lot of money by not owning a car.

No insurance, no gas, no check ups, no repairs.

Nope, he was on the list, but not even a hint to his hidden post was to be found for half an hour in the thread and suddenly it pops up.

Servers are back, but still be carefull.

I hope weg get that hour+ back from Kickstarter.

This one is quite accurate, just add 2-3% to the sum for conversion charges and credit card charges and you should be spot on.

Dollar is nose-diving right now, so you can pledge higher but still pay as much in Euro as you were before anyway willing to pledge.


Just for those on the fence whether they can afford some more.

Good god, $50k to go. I can scarcely believe it.

Aye, when they put that stretch up, I thought we'd never see it smashed. But at the rate its climbing there is a small chance! It'd be nice to see Mike's game knock off Ogre's crown!

well for $600 you can get Kara to give you a piggy back around town......probably still better than a car!

Just got in on a We Got Movement and some extras for 250

Forgive my internet ignorance..whats BBC - I assume it some other forum?

This will easily meet the stretch goal, the Mantic one managed to blow through $50k or so in its last few hours, so this one can do the same with ease.

Do you mean BGG, thommed? If so, that's Board Game Geek.

Otherwise, I'm going to need a little context to translate

We're currently sat at $848.5k, so I think $850k is fairly likely in the next five hours

whoops, I meant $920,000; Though it now seems possible with about $890,000 and 3 hours left.

We might almost make it, despite them trying to throw these near impossible goals at us!

If the stretch is reached, you'll hear this loud thud as Mike, Ali and Rob collectively fall off their chairs! $30K to go as well - they may have to prepare a $1 million stretch!

According to Kicktraq, today has the most backers and most pledges - and we're over 4,000 backers now.

Yes..thats it. Thanks!
I was referring to the talk about the posts being negative on the SW stuff.

Well they already have the trilogy of books planned for $1 million, but I would like to see a $1 million stretch too.

I think we will hit it at the rate people are now pledging, all these last minute bandwagon jumpers!!!!

Seeing this to be very successful. Will it be available through normal toy stores after some time?

That's the plan, Max, yes.

Just broke 900k

All my hopes for this to earn as much money as possible then! At approximately one million dollars they could easily afford a mold for plastic injection however. Wouldn't that keep the production costs down? (The miniatures are still planned to be this kind of sprueless plastic aren't they?)

Anyway, my best wishes for this project and any further ones after that.

And we just broke $900,000

Edit: Beaten by 12 seconds!

900k passed - it's getting closer. I think this has now got a good chance at pulverizing ogre!

Um, over 900k... I think we might actually make this!

Been out for most of the day. I was still feeling we would probably struggle to get the last goal who could imagine we would now be discussing whether we get ogre or not. Pledge the $25 for baxter if we get him will get dice and another thi suit probably

I cannot believe that a board game with miniatures almost pre-sold a million dollars worth of product. That boggles my mind.

spoke to soon, 1 refresh later, 903... only 20k to go!

My god, this could actually happen......

I love how every time someone says it will never hit X amount, it does. It's like this project is looking to prove everyone wrong.
