So im sad I missed this, seeing it flooding stores and lots of people having all their stuff. Even watched everything "Watch it played" did on it and wish I didn't miss it as I feel id love it.

Kind of a bad situation as so many minis were KS only. (26 I think)

Unless there is some magical way I can get it for a good price, its ebaying for $400 or more for all of it.

The biggest cost is the KS only guys, which not only can they upcharge cause you cant get them else where, but even at a retail cost of 10$ a pop, its 260 bucks. Looked and saw just the 26 guy box set alone sell for over 300 earlier this week.

Also really want the token set of hearts, coins, statues for actions and the skulls.

Bottom line

Is it worth forking over the 400$, or is it better to just get all the retail stuff and suck up missing a huge amount of figures?

Just wait to buy it until you go to a convention. They'll have the promos available there and will probably give you 2-4 for purchasing the game from them.

I really enjoy the game, but I'm not sure any game is worth $400. With that being said, I don' think the extra heroes add enough that I'd be too worried about it.

If I had to tell you one KS exclusive to get, it would be the Nameless Campaign.

Buy the base set (for less than we paid on KS) and see if you like it.
The Nameless "campaign" is literally just the entire campaign from the base set redone with minuscule changes, and it's included in the Guildmaster box. If you break down and buy that in the future (don't pay $300, PM me if you're THAT desperate) you can get everything but one hero.

Well, something got delivered for me from Ikon today. Based on the KS comments, I'd say there's a very good chance of it being Arcadia Quest, but since I'm also a Popcultcha customer and have some pre-orders with them there's also a chance it's one of those finally having shipped. I'll find out Friday when I pick up my mail.

We got the base game. Played the Orc Hold mission. We had a blast. The minis are some of the best plastic/resin/whathaveyou ive seen. Such good details. I ended up forking out 65$ for the Nameless box. Mostly cause the GF is a harry potter nut. Kind of depressing that its the exact same as the base game.

I think I found an alternative for heroes. either Impact miniatures or suer dungeon explore heroes. I can find those pretty cheap, like 3-4 dollar cheap. I wont have them all but I can match as close as I can and just edit the card picture and print it out.

Such as the beserker in SDE to Sonja for AC

Well that's mine arrived in the UK,

very nice (well except the plastic upgrade coins which are just nasty even for plastic coins)

and all accounted for too

I'm still waiting on mines... stupid Scottish Highlands. :(

Yep - the box was my AC. I won't open it until I'm about to play it, and it seems my group has gotten right into Zombicide now, so it could be awhile.

I know its a long shot here, but if someone doesn't want their Guildmasters box and minis, id buy it! You can keep tokens! Just want the minis and cards. I could offer round 100$ USD give or take...please!

I'm in Sussex and I haven't heard anything yet either. I don't think there is much of a pattern geographically. I'd be super happy if mine turned up later today though.

Ahh okies, I'm just worried because of where I live I tend to get things a few days late anyway (there is no such thing as next day delivery here ).

I hope too

HUZZAH! My copy plus all the extras arrived today.

Super stoked to start playing it as soon as possible.

It is one of the best "board minis games" I have played in a long time. First mission takes a littlewhie because your also learning rules ( maybe hour-hour and a half) but after that the longest time seems to be set up for us. Cut that back a lot with tokens being in their own dividers. We have had it bout 2 weeks and just beat the third outer circle mission so time to move in! Once you get the rules its a very fast game. It needs more dice though, as my one character is rolling 10 defense dice.

And three days later I'm still waiting...

How the hell does the middle of nowhere in Scotland get mail first!

Ok it turns out mine was delivered last week... DPD just left it at the wrong address. But now it's mines!!!

Do you want to play the game or paint the mini's?

Check out the reviews on BoardGameGeek. Looks like you can download any game content from CMON that you're not getting in the KS, or any KS-related game content are minor changes.

As for miniatures, Impact Miniatures has a ton of chibi mini's, as does Super Dungeon Explore.

AQ at BGW for $60! Also pick up Start Wars: Imperial Assault for $65 and reach free shipping!

TL;DR:

If you are looking for Chibi Minis: You missed the boat... There are tons of the exclusives and you will never have them.

If you are looking for gameplay: All the HERO rules are downloadable. Added-Heroes add minimal to the game and actually get 'hero overload'. Some of the best heroes in the game are from the core boxed set. You can play AQ with just the core boxed set and be super happy with the gameplay. 12 core heroes with the 6 promo heroes is plenty of variety for most people.

It really is a great game and you are not missing much without the other heroes.

So we have had 5 games thus far, and possibly tonight we go agaisnt Lord Fang for the first time! It is one of the best games ive played to date. I did managed to get most of the KS items in piecemail.

spent 80$ on base game
spent 60$ on nameless campaign
spent 125$ on the guildmaster box (not including nameless in it)

So 265$ which is far cheaper then any ebay acution for it all ive seen. All that is left to get is extra dice!!! (man do we need them, atleast defense dice...) and Beyond the Grave. Im also sure I will be picking up the new extra heroes being released.

Jeezum crow! Any other auusies get their shipping bill?
$80 US!
That's my last c'mon kickstarter, the games are great, but seriously, didn't they start an Aussie hub?

Uh... I got mine probably a month ago. It sounds like yours is being shipped from the US - so I'd suggest that something went wrong with your order.

They confirmed they received my pledge manager payment before the deadline.

What can I say? I think you need to follow it up with them. I certainly didn't pay $80 for my postage, and got it ages ago...

How much did you pay?

US$17.31, and last year.

With a US$80 fee, yours is being shipped from the USA.

My friend is having a similar problem. Hers was supposed to be posted from Germany to Malta, which is relatively cheap, but for some reason they posted it from China, and now she is getting stung for loads of money by customs. She seemed pretty upset about it, especially after she exchanged loads of emails with them about it being posted from Germany.
