I pledge for an even split of minis and game based on what I saw and what Adam had said during the KS,

(although to be fair I would have pledged for the minis even if I had thought the game was going to be a non starter

I pledged for minis. Unless there's a lot of fluff and sumptuous artwork on them, I'll sell off the gaming components to whoever wants them. If there are tiles, I'll sell them to the highest bidder.

Came for the minis. Stayed for the game. And the minis.

I'm REALLY glad I imagined that extra C in your username...

Poots just sent out an update. Lots of stuff in it, but here's the important bit, on wave 2 shipping (no word on w3):

Kings of Death and Resin Beta Bakcers:
Shipped at ninja speed directly from us in NY, Sept 15 - 20th

Domestic Bakcers:
Shipped via USA warehouse, October 1st - October 15

International Bakcers:
Shipped via EU, CAN and AU Warehouse: October 15 - November 1st

He says to add 5 business days to these figures, and that they're not set in stone. (He specifically cites customs as a possible monkey wrench.)

And in actual news a sneek peek at a non KS expansion

Sneak Peak!

As a treat between rounds of packing we have been play testing the Nightmare Ram expansion! It has some more "classic" dungeon crawling elements and right now the Monster loves to slam you through unexplored rooms and directly into spikes! We are messing with cold climates and giant Hissing Cockroaches filled with boiling water, to you know... keep you warm at night.

Lol, found myself in the gencon pictures- Camo shirt and ballcap.

I like that he starts the Update...

"Hello Bakcers!"




Not surprisingly, Expansions push to 2016, delayed due to expanded print elements... Oh well, more time to work on the Core Game.

Breaking my heart. I am, however, quite interested ;-)

So, October for my box and "sometime" in 2016 for my expansions.

And here I was hoping to see it all by Christmas.

You have to admit, the update art was a nice touch. Got my package with some pin-ups, though had to put in a correction order. My Kara Black fig was missing.

It really seems that kickstarter backer and people who ordered last month will be receiving their games at the same time. Is what it is I suppose.

Functionally you are correct; backers and pre-orders will be getting them so close in proximity as to be the same time and I can see where some pre-orders right near the shipper will get it before more remote backers even if the latter were sent first.

On the other hand, backers saved $40-60 per year on the price of the core game (varying with how one decides what dates to use) versus the pre-orders, and are getting freebies that the pre-orders do not get with Wave 1, which may include Herald of Death freebies depending on individual pledge amount. Additionally, backers are also getting paid extras that the pre-orders do not have any access to yet, but naturally an option is a nebulous thing when discussing such matters; if you didn't buy any of that stuff then the access wasn't worth anything.

I can see where it may rankle if you examine the shipping window of the big ticket item of the project in isolation, but from a wider view there's still perks that backers get over late-comers. How those different factors compare is, as always, in the sight of the individual.

It's a little annoying, but yeah, Krinsath has it right- having sent out a bunch of custom packages to a tiny fraction of the crowd behind this, I know it's be a nightmare to fulfill based on anything other than similar packages at the same time.

So the next thing that's shipping is the core game, right? All the expansions (gorm, various knights, dragon king, etc) are all next year?

Correct.

There is a small chance that they ship a few (very simple) Expansion orders this year, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I read Adam's "January 2016" and mentally replaced it with "1st Quarter 2016", just as I read "summer, 2015" as "late Q3, 2015". As it turned out, I was lucky to actually receive my 2 pinups at the very tail of Q3. That worked very well for my mental state.

I think Adam will be shipping Wave 1 for the rest of September, possibly going into October. At that point, he'll have his hands full dealing with Wave 2 and any screwups. Then it'll be the mid-November, and everybody will be exhausted, with no time to push expansions out for X-mas, so Q1.

Of course, if I get the Expansions as an X-mas present, I will be completely delighted. In this KS, I my hopes and expectations are for quality, not promptness.

I will be pleasantly surprised if my Core game arrives in October, but I have also mentally prepared myself to receive it late November/ possibly December

It looked like from the update that they'll be shipping the next wave (core game) starting very soon here - does that mean they'll be done shipping the first wave?

Still no word on my order of pin-ups and misc one-offs.

My understanding was they are still working on Wave 1, and they have only shipped 1500 orders... which if one assumes every ba backer is getting something wave 1, thats 5000 orders. If it took them a month to do 1500 orders I would think its going to be awhile still...

Just got my box. Missing four models (strangely, they were the last four listed on the packing list, possibly a connection? Also, there was a small bag of gummy bears in the box.
There was one model I had to puzzle over, as it was the one sprue that wasn't actually labeled (all of the other sprues have the model name printed on it). I thought it might have been one of the missing models, but after Googling each one of them, one of the pictures that did show up matched what I got: a plastic White Speaker. I wasn't sure about that, as it wasn't on my packing list, but it was in the email I received listing what was being sent.

I actually got two extra models, and one I do not recognize, but have already in resin, just forgot who she is. My t-shirt is now too large for me as I have lost 70lbs since this Kickstarter began.

Shame about the shirt, but awesome on bettering yourself in the process!

I'm still not sure if I was supposed to get my plastic Twilight Knight now or with the game. I'm sure it'll be a while before they get around to fixing order errors too.

Is it wrong of me to hope that people start dumping some of these plastics on ebay for reasonable prices to tide me over? I want a Messenger of the Spiral now.

Congrats on the box, bummer on the T-shirt but congrats again on the weight loss!

Random thought...when they get to the armor kit orders are they shipping all the armor kits that were ordered "loose", even those not in the Core box? If so, that might make the wait for my shipping notice go by a bit easier as I'm reasonably sure I'm getting extra Dragon King armor. Suppose I could dig up my receipt and check...

Yes, Grats on the weight loss!

You can hope, but if it's like anything else KD on eBay you're going to be disappointed.

If you got the game the twilight knight will be with that, she's only coming with this wave for people who didn't get the main box

Mine was all correct including the t-shirt size. I did get Allison even though I got the main game as well, so we'll see what happens with that next time. I also got two versions of the White Speaker, this one: http://gallery.kingdomdeath.com/White-Speaker and the seated "holiday" one, so I assume that's intentional.

It isn't on the White Speaker, count... but I got the exact same mispack. Who knows? :-p

Man, Im only getting a shirt and 1 model in wave one, I hope they miss pack the gak out of mine!!

Well, I've got the $30 or so pledge with the exclusive survivors and the digital artbook. I know i have some of the messengers, Kingsmen, green knight armor, dragon armor, and a handful of expansions. Shouldn't I be in wave 1 shipping for my non expansion stuff?
