The Ogre has been slain - huzzah!

The most successful board game on Kickstarter with Ogre 2nd!

Wow, ogre has been beat.

Now we need to reach 1 million!

DONE!

Good job everyone. Thanks for the minis!

lol I guess they never expected to hit that stretch lol! No more stretches incoming it seems!

Still, wow what a great story, what great news for Mike and Ali too. Well deserved! And hell, we all made out like bandits too with all these minis... even if you spent 300 bucks, you have sooooooooooo much more stuff than 300 bucks would get you anywhere else...

Wow I just went out for about 20mins before I left it was at 902,000 odd, now I'm back its hit 924,407!!!

Well done Studio Mc'vey well done.

I am honestly surprised. I thought this last stretch wasan unattainable joke stretch. Congratulations to Studio McVey and all the customers and fans that supported them. This had been a win-win for all parties involved.

It keeps rising!

$927,917 last I checked

Bananas!
Now what am I supposed to do with the $25 I added to cover Exo-Barker?
Mike Mcvey is historys greatest monster!

Excellent news! I guess the extra $25 will pay for a second set of boards. I might even need to add $30 more for extra scenery...

The only things not availabe outside of conventions later are the "Lights Out" stuff and some of the named characters correct?
I think I'll wait on the terrain, even if it costs me a little more.

Biohazard is such a ridiculous deal that its making me second guess buying the other characters etc. and just going for We've Got Movement. Without shipping to Canada I would probably do both.

If they had had a truly insane stretch mini at 1million, I think they might have been able to make it...

Really didn't think they were going to hit that. I've just upped to WGM, and my credit card is still smouldering from Mantic

"Play Sedition Wars for the first time with Mike Mcvey while you live in his newly founded commune!
If we reach this stretch goal, most of you will have defaulted on your mortgage for the next few months! Come live in a shanty town with other backers in a field near Mike Mcvey's house! You will need to get to Sheffield on your own though..."

Even if it doesn't go much farther, they've had an amazing run. The past 24 have been so much fun rooting for the stretches.

Wow - I go out for a few hours, come back to check on the progress and find that SW is the MOST successful Kickstarter Board/Card game... ever!

Congrats to the McVey's!

I cracked with 60 minutes to go, I'm in for $155.

I'm not looking forward to the Mrs seeing kickstarter on the CC bill again.

[shame mode on]

Tis why I'm glad I have my own account, wife doesn't know how much of my allowance is going towards a single source.

Totally giving them at least $45 more on the 15th for 3 THI suits, too.

So how much of the last week push was new backers and how much was current backers losing their minds?

Same here, actually!

Things is weren't those suits already available or are they different in some way to what has been seen before?

Amazing, been off for a while, and Ogre falls. Great news, and will look forward to seeing that guy in March.

notprop wrote:Things is weren't those suits already available or are they different in some way to what has been seen before?

They come with both weapon sets. The current ones only come with one.

Also, don't quote me on this, but I think it was insinuated that they're plastic.

I'm hoping they give us rules for dual clamper arm suits, too. I've wanted one for a while.

They're currently available in metal from the US (CMON) and Resin in the UK. Also, on the StudioMcvey store, you can buy the arms separately if you want a dual power claw suit!

Agreed. The power of beautiful plastic dollies has triumphed over the cardboard chits of Ogre.

I bet GW is looking at KS potential with more than passing interest...

Congrats to everyone for the mutually beneficial funding. I feel like a communist now.

Fitting words.. from a Kroothawk! xD

Great googly moogly!

I saw the new stretch goal this morning and though, never happen. Wow, was I wrong. Hmmm.. now what to do with the extra $25 I put up yesterday for the suited up Kara? Extra tiles look tempting
