Just got my survey. Any body else notice the THI suits went down $5 in price?

About the surveys. As I'm filling it out I'm wondering if they're asking how many X, Y, Z I want to order on top of what I've already pledged. Is that how I should read it? Or is this the survey where I distribute my pledge money thoughout the extras?

Yeah, down to $10.

Gah, if I had known THI suits were $10 a piece, I would have saved up some money for them

I'm sure we ALL noticed it. Probably a typo....

Oh nice on the THI, can upgrade to the we've got movement and still get three of them for what I had already figured I'd pay out.

It may be a Copy+Paste Error considering it's the only thing that's $15.

Yeah cmon have just posted that they goofed up and there suposed to be $15 tho the aphid suit and the knosis one are being reduced to $20 each. ..
Remember this one is just to give them a idea on how many of each product they need to start on.
And the later ckpm will be the one where you sort any extra payments etc.

Okay. Everything ordered and set up correctly. Man, this is going to be great to have all these shiny new figures.

Wow that survey is bad. Besides the suit prices, they forgot to add the price for the crabs (which we know) and they never say if we are supposed to enter the cost, or the quantity of the items.

I don't think this survey is binding and official.
It seems to be an initial survey to see the general numbers of things they will need to produce for the upcoming November releases.

The Late-July/Early-August survey that'll be sent out will be the binding and final one.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

No, I think you're right.

Which is good because:

when I saw the $10 price for the THI suits, I ordered extra!

hmmm.....haven't gotten mine yet

Mine only had the option to "upgrade to biohazard" I assume because I accidentally didn't select it originally and didn't realize it until today. Sadface. I sent them a message - maybe they'll still let me throw money at them for some of the upgrades.

I didn't see the THI price was a typo soon enough, so I ordered a bit more stuff. Damn >_<

Sacrificed a couple of THI suits to get some more characters!

Am I right in thinking that you need to buy at least one suit in order to receive the head so that Tank Girl can ride in a THI?

Now all I need to do is drum my fingers and wait for November to roll around!

What if it wasn't a typo at all but a dastardly scheme to pull a few extra dollars out of backers.

We were meant to just put in 1's? Right?

So as a newbie, I am assuming that this is the preemptive survey of what you figured you wanted with your initial pledge money, and the later CMON manager site they will launch is what you can use to buy additional product (paying the difference with PayPal)?

Hmm...today is the first time Ive actually looked at this...interesting. Might eventually pick up a copy of the game, always nice for some board game variety...

...but some of the individual minis really interest me for use with other things...like the big armored suits (TNI IIRC) and some of the character figs, especially the not-Riddick. SO the question is...will this stuff be available separate, or do you have to buy big expansion sets? (like the Doom board game)

Im sure its been answered, but I dont have the time to read 70+ pages of "im in" and "oh wow".

Reckon so, that's what I did

H.B.M.C. wrote:We were meant to just put in 1's? Right?

I think so. I did. Either we got it right or we'll be disappointed when miniature day comes...

So the original artwork for the Calamity crew had 4 characters. Now its only 2- Mal and Zoe. No River and no Jayne, evidently. Wow I feel ripped off.

Note, I understand there was likely some small print or something saying 2 models, but I didn't realize it, and was suckered by the artwork. Doesn't change that I feel very unhappy.

I'm still seeing the 4 characters.... I'm pretty sure they're all still in...

Uh, what?

Where are you getting information that you only get the original two? Have you some evidence to support the proposition that they are not following the terms of the $470k stretch goal?

They always were 2 characters. We got another 2 when we hit the stretch they were in. So 2+2=4

It is on the front page. But, they have the first two near the top, then the stretch goal, including the other two characters, waaayyyy down the page. Here I was thinking it would be summarized all in one place now that the fundraising is over...

Specifically detailed here.

Complete the crew of the Calamity! If we hit this stretch, Phoenix and Delta join the Cap in his (mis)-adventures on Alabaster Station! They'll ship the same time as the Captain and XO and are free with every set of the Mercenary Crew!

To repeate myself, what are you talking about?


The optional load-outs look pretty up-to-date to me....

Buzzsaw, seriously, lay off the caffeine, buddy. Take a look at the main page.


"The crew of the Calamity never thought they'd get caught up in the going's on of a remote science station. Still, the take from handling the "special" cargo they hauled from that creepy moon made everything worth it. That and a bit of RnR on a cushy science facility with all the mod cons unavailable on a deep space freighter was a good morale booster for the crew.

Still, the crew has dealt with misfortune before, and they intend to get out of this bit of worry like they always do... intact, alive, and broke."

The Captain and his lovely XO will glady report for duty for paltry $20! Like the rest of the promo figures, please limit yourself to 3 each per Biohazard set you're pledging for. Ships in March 2013, unpainted and unassembled.

Not to belabor the point, but you realize to get to that part, you had to actually scroll past the updated image, right? It's literally the 3rd content image on the page.

In other words, your complaint that

You wanted it summarized all in one place. Which it is. Which you had to scroll past (since it's at the top of the page) to get to the part that apparently misled you.

Also, you opened this with;

Perhaps it's not caffeine, per se, that is affecting your judgement, but you might be in need of some...
