Wow that has got to be the funniest thing I've seen on Dakka for a while. Bad day today for you, buddy?

Uh huh...

You make a post talking about how "ripped off" and "unhappy" you are, which requires people to spoon-feed you the summary you managed to miss. This for you is... a good day?

Impressive. Just get out of the lab, Doctor?

**Alpharius**

Settle down guys!

G's confusion has been cleared up - I say it is a good day for all if us!

**Absolutionis**

We need less fighting.

It's $20 for all 4 members of the Calamity Crew; shipping in 2013. Simple as that.

Survey still lists suits at 10$, so I upped my order to 3. Wasn't aware of any possible typo until I read this thread. Still got no official info on that, we will see.

The characters are all exclusive to this kickstarter. If you really wanted some I would recommend finding a pledger near you who can just tag on the models for you. The THI suits however will still be available afterwards. They are currently sold in metal and resin but this is the plastic set for sale.

Hope this clears everything up!

**Hulksmash**

Well if the price doesn't change on the Suits (i.e. stays $10) then I'm in for 10 of them. They'll make amazing Ogryns for my IG. I also picked up another biohazard set, some extra calamity crew for gifts for my geek friends, and 2 more gnosis suits since they are so awesome looking. Here's hoping they have a sealed helmet option!

**AegisGrimm**

I'm getting 1 THI suit along with my Ridley and the Opticamo, but I am seriously thinking about getting another when the CMON manager goes live, but I dunno.

Originally I wanted them as power armored support for my vanguard, but I had forgotten that we all now get two of the tanks, as well as a Gnosis suit for a leader to be equipped with.

I'm still trying to find out whether Studio McVey will release the cards for minis that you can get as metal figs on their site. I could have a THI suit on the table at game-launch if I knew I could field one of the metal sculpts with a downloaded card.

Over on the Studio McVey forums they showed an "oops" quote from CMON, they should be $15

However I think the survey is only used to populate the CKPM, so there will be a chance to "take back" your extra THI order...

Mike has confirmed that all currently available minis will have stats for use ingame, including the current line of Vanguard soldiers (confirmed somewhere either in this thread or on the Kickstarter comments). As for when the stats are available, not sure.

**notprop**

Thats it, they are running this as per their Zombiecide KS. I received the final oprion manager email for that yesterday to finalise quantities and firm up on details and that's over a month since the KS closed.

So they have plenty of time to correct errors and we have plenty of time revise pledges/orders.

**Kilkrazy**

I hope they use some of the spare money to make the game more widely available.

I subscribed $25 for the Kara model only, because the game as a whole wasn't offered to the UK.

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

Wasn't offered to the UK?

Not sure what you mean? I will have 2 sets come November

And I'm afraid that I think the rule was no promo figures unless you ordered a game...

**notprop**

Yeah, there's a $25 shipping charge bolted on but it's full available here and the RotW.

Im pretty sure Studio McVey will be selling it when the KS bit clears and hey have stock.

Am I right in saying its only the game that CmoN are producing, the Sedition wars line will continue to be from SM.

**CURNOW**

Yeap I've got a set coming. And the game is being sold from the mcvey site aswell as cmon.

Studio mcvey are going to be doing any further releases. But its possible that any large expansions will be produced alongside cmon.

**Duncan_Idaho**

The THI suit ist $15, but the prices for the other two suits are correct, they went down slightly.

That information is as official as it can be.

**Grot 6**

I for one would like to get a couple of extra squads of Vanguard, and Strain.

I put in for an extra Suit, and if its a litle extra, so be it.

The stuff is almost here.....

All the more time to convince myself that I need more suits. Must resist!

**General Seric**

So, just to be certain, this survey out now is just to allocate pledge money? There will be another to add to the pledge?

The survey that is out now is intended to judge demand (so they get and idea of what they have to actually make) the CMKPM thingy will let you manage your pledges add items (and pay for them using Paypal) and allocate your pledged dollars.

(I've determined this by reading the McVey forums ).

Did you mean to say Studio McVey aren't going to be doing any further releases?

**CURNOW**

No. Lol
Slipped a "any" in by mistake. (can't help it was eating my pasty

)
Mike and Ali have a long list of future releases that are in the works. According to hints on the blog.

Yes, that should be the case, IF they follow the "Zombicide" model they used before - and I imagine they will!

**Azazelx**

Hm. Looks like a small change to the limits on the character models. In the survey it says "limit 3 per box set" wheras it used to a flat limit of 3 per customer.

edit - speeling

**Slinky**

Here's the latest update which aims to clear things up:

This is a general announcement.

There was a mistake in the survey with the THI suits erroneously listed at $10 rather than $15 (which is the correct pricing).

The survey will be used to populate our database, and you will receive an email confirmation with a link to the CoolMiniOrNot Kickstarter Pledge Manager (CKPM) later this month to confirm everything you've selected, as well as pay for any additional extras.

Please don't worry if you make a mistake on your survey, in the end it only matters if you are uncontactable by email. You will have ample opportunity to tweak to your heart's content later.

In summary, please don't send a message if it's about:
THI pricing (it's $15).
Survey errors or shipping info corrections - you can fix it later
Adding / paying for additional items / upgrading to Biohazard / Getting additional sets - you can add them later

Thank you for your attention.

Yes, perfect answer. Kinda a bummer on the characters, but I was most interested in the suits, so Im good to go.

**CURNOW**

Not seen these here yet. Box art and contents mock ups. And sample page from the rulebook.

I noticed FRPGames already has a pre-order page for the boxed set. I'm sure others will follow:
