Nothings confirmed but...they would be crazy not to, they made like 4 million in one weekend this opening, lots of people that might not have had the spare money now likely will in future openings.

No it didn't here's the link to the running total and original post where it was $2.6 million

It's now $5.2 million postage accounted for some of the rise but it's not $4 million probably $2 million which is still impressive

I will say he made.. $10 million !

That is still a ridiculous amount of money for a miniatures board game.

Would make an interesting business studies coursework for someone trying to analyse exactly what it is about Kingdom Death that has made it just so popular.

Unique creative vision with a style that is appealing to many, executed very well both rules- and miniature-wise, extremely passionate creator/auteur of the type that inspires a cult-like mentality in his followers... and titties.

I`d say that`s 50%, another 50% is powered by the fact, that one was able to get all this only during KS with a bit of a discount (or he`ll have to wait an unforeseeable amount of time/be scalped by ebay).

I really hope so, and am planning on it. Since they reopened it for Wave 2 (which delivers in February, and already had the plastics for it produced), I would be very surprised if they didn't reopen it again for later waves that aren't even completely written yet.

I was planning on adding Abyssal Woods, Spidicules, Campaigns of Death and the Screaming God to my order, but instead I decided to complete my set of the original expansions and plan on adding more cash to Wave 4 next time the pledge manager opens.

I ended up getting Spidicules, Lion Knight, Lion God, Manhunter, Dung Beetle Knight, Green Knight Armour, and yes, even the Lonely Tree. I figured there are a few expansions I wouldn't pay full price for but still want to get (I'm a completeness freak), so now was the time to buy them.

Kingdom Death completeness is very expensive. Fortunately, I cured myself of that compulsion years ago, which saved me a lot of trouble.

Of course, I still overbuy things that I like.

Oh, I know. Fortunately I've managed to keep it strictly limited to Kingdom Death material with rules content. It will still be expensive, but once Wave 2 hits I will have everything... Until Wave 3 and 4 of course...

For those that are curious, the Holiday Nico's are up for sale in the store.

Is the armor kit bundle back up? It's spending time.

Sadly just overpriced Christmas ladies, and the holiday white speaker has already disappeared. Also dice.

For those that've built her, is the Xmas Twilight Knight any larger herself? I know she's on a 50mm base, but it's a pretty detailed scenic base. I'm wondering if the lady herself is a regular sized human.

I believe the model is indeed oversized.

You are correct.

Update is coming on Valentine's Day!

Valentines day!

Soon...

I was wondering about this too - Good to see that it’s less than a week away until we get more info.

Odds of there also being Valentine Day figures on the store? Would not bet against.

I haven’t even played the game yet! I’m still waiting for my sleeves -.-

Not Mage company KS?

Not the KS, but Mage, yeah.

Damn. Still waiting on the KS that ran at the same time as KD (or nearly?) seems they have run into some bad cash flow problems.

No cash flow problems, it was just some coordination issues from what I understand, China sometimes does that.

Well worth the wait though, they are the best sleeves in the market in my opinion, extremely hard and durable and way better manufactured than anyone out there, especially for that price.

This is my honest opinion, but I have to disclose that I know some of the people from the Mage Company.

That's not what the person running the KS has said, they ran out of funds and went looking for a cheaper distributor, which they didn't find. Due to that we are waiting on the pleasure of Games Quest to send stuff as and when they can and when Mage can pay.
Link to KS comments;
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/magecompany/mcg-premium-sleeves-and-accessories/comments

As you know them personally can you ask them very, very nicely to get the sleeves sent out sometime soon? Its comical that the KDM first wave was delivered before some sleeves...

Mage flat out admitted they are trying to finance the completion of their Kickstarter with money from future business... that is a VERY BAD sign.

Last time I checked with them, their "future business" is simply selling sleeves they already have, by the normal channels.

I cannot see the comments from MC in the link, probably a KS thing, I can ask them when I have the time to visit, that though may be a long time ahead, given my work schedule...

Unfortunately if it is a GQ prioritising bigger companies over MC I do not think there is much they can do, especially if the stuff have already been delivered to GQ...

I am on the same side with you I have not received my pledge, but I do have bought a few packs for my copy of Aristeia, that is why I can vow for the quality of the product, it is just that my stance with every kickstarter is it will be delivered when it is delivered, so I do not care much about them be late.

Just to chime in about the Mage KS. I got my pledge rewards last Sunday, so they are still shipping them out, despite the massive delays. I can confirm that the sleeves are very quality though. I have been playing KDM with my cards sleeved in regular card sleeves since I wasn't going to wait, and the Mage ones are a lot better. I actually just ordered a bunch more for my Descent cards and the KDM cards coming in wave 2. Hopefully that cash will help push some other people's KS rewards closer to shipping too.

Yeah I ordered mine after the Kickstarter so mine will be sent after the KS ones are sent.
