OK, so right now it's Wave 1a - Survivor Games with Resin

I don't have the resins, so I guess I wait a bit for Wave 1b - Game only.

I don't know about that - I'm pretty sure I didn't order anything resin, but I got a shipping notice today as well.

I'm willing to bet that the statement about Wave 1.1 - 1.3 was all about the shipments leaving the warehouse in NY. So all of the small rewards. We know that they are trying to pick each order in a logical fashion, as it appears they started with just pinups and promos (1.1) then started overseas (1.2), then we don't know. Maybe everything with armor kits (a wave 1.3), everything with resin (a wave 1.4), and the poor souls getting everything (a wave 1.5). (Note that the Wave #'s I've been giving are wild guesses! and I want my armor kits to show up....)

The Wave 2 was just survivor and base game pledges going out, nothing to do with resin. I know I didn't get any resin, but got a shipping notice! It is coming from a shipping company though, so should go out much faster.

Ya, Adam handling wave 1 was probably a mistake. It looks like he made it more confusing for everyone and more work for himself. Given the amount of miss packed boxes, I wonder if it would have been cheaper to have someone else have handled wave 1.

Im glad a shipping company will be handling the core game and hopefully the expansions. Im in Oregon and I hear they are shipping out of Cali! No shipping notice for me on either wave, but at least its looking more promising.

I should've had wave 1 items and still haven't heard anything. Should I be contacting Adam?

You had armor sets though. I thought those were all getting mailed out later.

Haven't heard a peep about anyone getting Green Dragon armor or whatever it was called, and I know you pledged for that Barzam.

Hm, I seem to recall Adam was pushing to get resin games out first, for playtesting, etc. But plastic Survivor is shipping now? Do we know if resin is moving for those who ordered it?

Also, Green Armor is included in Herald of Death, so a LOT of people are getting those (assume a Herald of Death reward box, picked during Wave 3 expansions)

The resin backers already have theirs. There are in boxing photos on Facebook already

I had ba ked at the $30 or so level, so I for sure have the two exclusive survivors. I did order sone extra armor sets, namely the Green Armor and a set of Dragon Armor. I also had several Messengers, Candy & Cola, a Kingsmen regiment, and several monster expansions. Shouldn't the exclusive survivors, the crossovers, and the messengers be shipping in wave 1?

Based on information shared by SPM on their recently-concluded KickStarter, I don't think farming out Wave 1 would be financially feasible:



Now, they go on to say they found distribution partners, but I suspect that there's a reason the Wave 1 shipments which have the most variety are being handled in-house while the things coming from the fulfillment partner are the ones that have a minimal number of SKUs.

I have neither notice yet, so I'll be over here with the other likely-thousands of red-headed step-children.

+1

So thirsty. The only thing I can say is that things will likely be interesting now that presumably the core game delivery looks to be overlapping with wave 1 fulfillment.

I'm OK with the overlap - more people getting their stuff sooner is a good thing. Yay for parallel distribution!

Have there been any hissy fits on kickstarter about it yet?

Just figured out what the UPS ship notification I received this afternoon was. Set to be delivered on the 23rd. Wasn't expecting it for at least another month!

Some of that for certain - the Messengers and Candy & Cola.

I'm not sure if it is 'panic' time yet, but it is odd that you haven't heard anything about your Wave 1 stuff yet - you are in the USA right?

I don't believe we've heard of any Wave 1 orders with "loose" armor kits being sent out, which is likely why both Barzam and I are in the cold, cold darkness.

Good point - if you're NOT getting the core game, maybe you are in Wave 3?

Which of these should I have received from Adam?

Promo: Candy and Cola
Promo: Kara Black
Messenger of Courage
Messenger of the Spiral Path
Messenger of the First Story
Messenger of Humanity
Lantern Armor x5 (makes 20 minis)
Silk Assassin Resin
Promo: Holiday White Speaker Nico
Allison the Twilight Knight: Plastic

None yet. Just to recap from a support ticket Adam answered for me a couple weeks ago. Wave 1.1 was plastics only US (which is complete), 1.2 would be internationa (which they are working on; not sure if this is just plastics or plastics/resins/armor as well)l, then wave 1.3 would be armor/resins/plastics US, so if you ordered even a single resin or armor add-on it would be part of the last wave shipped.

Everything except the Lantern Armor, I think!

EDIT:

Maybe not?

I didn't know about the "If you ordered ANY armor kits, everything's coming in Wave 3" provision!

I didn't order resins or armor kits - still heard nothing.

Mine was just pin-ups + misc (watcher, that big tree, it's all a little hazy really).

I'm not in any hurry - but if/when we know wave 1 is done shipping for sure I may need to send out an email.

There's pics of the full, unboxed Survivor pledge level boxes appearing all over the shop now, particularly on Facebook. Is it indicative that Adam is getting ahead of shipping?

Okay. Wave three it is.

You mean the pre-order? That stuff has been up for a month or so at least.

Not, sorry, mate. A couple of folks on Facebook have provided shots of the Survivor game box. Not the pre-order on the KD shop, but shots of the monster box I somebody's home, and an assembled Nico of holiday model.

The core game has already started to show up at some peoples homes. Wave 2 was sent out by an actual distribution company. So alot of people are getting Wave 2 ( core game/survivor level pledge) if that is what you mean.

As for Wave 1, Adams handling all that and I would not expect it any time in the near future..

Those unboxing photos are likely to be the famous few that got their boxes airlifted over because of their pledge level. As of next week we should start seeing a lot more as the American ship seems to have reached port and cleared customs well ahead of schedule. This part is Wave 2, so is not being handled by Adam.

Ah, I see. I have no email at all from KD. What's another few months?

Any one got links to the people posting pics on facebook of wave 2?
