I upped my pledge I knew I was going to add on some of the post apoc guys anyway but this way it 'counts' towards the strech goal. Him and the captain are nice models with a lot of uses, maybe they could throw him in and make a 2 model set?

**BrookM**

While every little bit helps, we're still €750,- short on getting there.

**Kid_Kyoto**

It's really facinating how Kickstarter (etc) gets paying customers to say 'we' about the project rather than 'they'.

Nothing against you Brook,I just saw that and it was really interesting.

**BrookM**

We all chip in don't we?

Okay, €450,- to go, maybe this can happen after all.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Yeah I chip in for my electric company too, I don't talk about how 'we' only need $3 billion more for that new power plant.

It's just really interesting.

**BrookM**

He's unlocked, here's hoping it will stay that way until the timer runs out in three hours.

**RiTides**

"We" did it

Good work lads!

**BrookM**

It is done.

The First Officer has been unlocked:

And also..

Spacefarers, we did it!

Thank you all for your support, the last 30 days were amazing! We're very pleased with our first Kickstarter and we want to give you this alternative version of this robot (without the box) for free! All pledges starting with Service Unit level and higher will get this little guy!

We will get back to you very soon with the survey We'll need your postal address and we'll need to know about your choice of sets and add-ins.

Thank you again And be sure, the journey of the Astropolis is just at its beginning, so stay tuned!

**Polonius**

I'm excited! These look like they'll be fun to paint.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Strange thing is it got me to finally take out my Colony 87 guys to prime.

**BrookM**

The pledge manager has been sent out earlier this evening.

And the official post: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/astropolis/posts/1717729

Dear backers,

today we've sent the surveys out for all pledge levels.

There are some issues with radio button options for the pledge level Support Squad and Technical Support Crew, you actually can pick only one of them. We're very sorry, it's a Kickstarter feature and we've supposed it allows multiple choices. You know, it's our first KS after all So please just use one of the question fields like "Please let us know which additional sets you've chosen" and type in the set codes and numbers you receive there.

If you have any questions or other issues with the survey, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank you!

**BrookM**

Also, update #13: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/astropolis/posts/1719341

Spacefarers,

Thanks to all of you who’ve already filled out the survey. As soon as we have all your responds, we’ll immediately will order the casts. The production moulds are being made just right now, so we’re still right on schedule!

And in the meantime Igor was busy starting on some ideas for the next wave of Astropolis and we’re very happy to be able to show you an armed Kroglogg. Igor created an amazing level of detail on him and this very nice armor and the very cool rifle makes this figure definitely to one of our favorites in the next release.

Stay tuned!

So.. Fill in those pledge managers you lazy fethers!

**Kid_Kyoto**

Mine's in. e55, not too too bad.

More lead for the closet of shame.

**RiTides**

I seriously can't wait for these, fast turn around and characterful sculpts, what more could you ask for!

Maybe a Wookie?

**Kid_Kyoto**

I'd really like inspectors and security guards. The sort of folks you'd see walking around a space port.

Vendors are also good.

**BrookM**

If the next campaign is even half as characterful as this one, I'll back for sure. It's refreshing to back a campaign that doesn't have its head up its own backside for a change and stay on target without making false promises.

**BrookM**

Update #14: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/astropolis/posts/1736079

Spacefarers!

we have some great news for you, we've received the Astropolis production casts! We guess the mail guy is still cursing, there wass about 70 Kg to transport

We're now already preparing the single sets and then we will immediately begin with the delivery, thus definitely next week. We will let you know as soon we sent out the first pledges.

We have no particular order base on geo zone. We will just start from the beginning of the backer list. You know, first come first serve

Kind regards

Your LAM Team

After backing quite a few projects that ran / are still running, late, all I can say is.. Oh happy days! Backer #5 over here.

**RiTides**

Brilliant! I'm loving absolutely everything about how they're running this campaign and fulfillment

**Kid_Kyoto**

First good news all month.

**BrookM**

Update #15: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/astropolis/posts/1743765

Spacefarers,

After some titanic work in the last four days we were able to ship almost all of your pledges. Only very few are still in work as we're waiting for surveys or more details. So please if you want your reward as soon as possible, please get back to us and provide us with your postal address etc.

We expect the packages to hit your mail box for Germany in the next 1-2 days, at the end of the week or at the beginning of the next for Europe and in the next 10-15 days worldwide. Please consider that delivery times could be different from country to country and sometimes it could take longer. If you have any questions or issues with your delivery, please don't hesitate to drop a PM to us.

Best regards

Your LAM team

All I can do is..

**BrookM**

So, this happened during dinner..

As far as I can tell, nothing damaged, models neatly packed per set in their own bag, unlike the first Bombshell Babes KS, which had everything in one pile.. Not sure what I'm going to do with all of these, I mainly pledged for the captain model. The first officer model is a nice bonus though!

So, once more, with extra feeling..

**RiTides**

That's great, that have fulfilled this excellently! Can't wait to get them

**Kid_Kyoto**

Whoa.

There's only one things I can say to that level of service:

**BrookM**

And now that I've had the time to clean the load of them, here's an obligatory scale shot:

They are quite on the big side, though given as how scale is usually all over the place with the hobby, it shouldn't be too much of a problem in the long run.

Next up.. buying bases for these all.

**Polonius**

I got my shipment! The thank you note was a really nice touch, but I ageee that it was well packed,

What shocked me was how well cast everything looks, and that it's alll one piece. I'm excited to paint them up, I figure I'll use the merchants as either astropath or henchmen, the first officer is a great commissar, the captain will be either an officer of the fleet or a master of ordnance (or perhaps a high ranking officer?), and the engineers will be techpriests, with mechanics as servitors.

**BrookM**

Sorry for the slight necro, but Lead Adventure is doing another KS now, this time fantasy related: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/dwarven-gold-fever

However, they also dropped this titbit:

And in the meantime we are working on the sesond wave for Astropolis, which be launched after the current campaign, more news and previews soon!

Oh my days, yes!

**Kid_Kyoto**

The Dwarves probably deserve their own thread, not my poison but they are nice.

I would just add that the Astropolis shipped on time and I was very happy with it! I wouldn't hesitate to do business with Lead Adventure again.

(Now I just need to paint...)

**BrookM**

Same here, I am eagerly awaiting their next Astropolis KS, as the minis are full of character. I doubt I'll paint them all any time soon, but some of them are excellent for future projects.

**Brunius**

I like some of the dwarves...others not so much. Pledging for three sets for RPGs, so we'll see how that turns out.

**Polonius**

A second set of Astropolis Miniatures are up on Kickstarter!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/822163699/astropolis-ii-the-galactic-melting-pot

If you like characterful minis that work in a wide range of settings, from Steam Punk to gothic sci-fi, I highly recommend them. I pledged the first Kickstarter, and I love the models I got.

While this is threadomancy, I do want to alert those following this thread!
