Hey now...

Not around the corner for me, but not too darned far either. Hmm...

EDIT: Also, "(added May 16, 2014)"? What? This information was sufficiently unimportant that it could wait an entire month?

Why start being logical and efficient now eh?

This appears to be a change

We will begin sorting and shipping Rewards beginning June 18! Those shipments will include yours, if
•your Reward Selection only includes First Wave items and nothing else, or
•if you chose 'Drop Ship Waves', or
•f you chose 'Personal Wave Shipping – 3 Waves'. (Some Personal Wave Shipping – 2 Waves will also be shipped, depending on what's in your selection.)


from what was written in the pledge manager it appeared that if you picked 2 waves you'd get your wave 1 stuff 'immediately',

and then whatever was left once it had all arrived (so probably wave 3)

annoying

Wouldn't be the first time they've contradicted themselves...

God, I wish I loved by there.

Once the got the pledge manager going, this looks like it's moving faster than I expected.

Hey, found that hidden in the comments. Might be interesting.

Edit: If they stick to their plans, it means I won't have to wait till Wave 3, which is good news. I need my delicious resin/metal crack!

Only one thing I realized. Why would Zerga waste time with that pistol, when she's got that huge fething thing harnessed to her belt? Worried about overkill? really?

She's executing one of her troops for being too wimpy to carry a feth hueg cannon.

Oddly I am also driving distance from Showcase, but I'll be moving in the next month, so drop shipping still won't help me.

Did I read correctly? Raging Heroes seems to think that they'll have all waves out during Q3 2014?

Hard to believe considering they're still doing renders.

You read it correctly. They seem to think so. But as thought experiments go, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one coming to fruition.

Actually, I think Wave 3 would be considered Q4.

I find this tidbit weird:

Please note that this date is firm and will not be moved again. We are strongly committed to show you as many new renders and sculpts as possible before we close, but we can't promise anything specific, since we're also really busy with finishing the entire production of the TGG on one hand, and preparing all the logistics on the other hand, in order to be ready to ship the girls to you all over the globe. But you can expect a new Update with new images before June 17.

How can you be finishing the production of the range if you don't have a render to hoist onto your webst...edge manager?

Because such artistes as these do not work with mere physical materials, they hold the concept with startling clarity in their minds eye and over a period of many, many months they will it into being with pure force of mind.

So, 19 days to announce that the pledge manager was live via a Kickstarter update? Doesn't bode well for the extra renders that they keep promising or the accompanying update.

I'm not surprised that so many have finalised their pledges, there'll be quite a few people who just want to get it over with / want things that are already at the render stage / don't care about RH's onoing antics. What is surprising is that there's still almost a thousand people who haven't locked in their rewards yet.

That's because they needed those self-indulgent praise quotes on their amazing live support to put into the update

I'm one of those 1000 that still haven't finalised. I guess I will have to do it over the weekend, doubt that Mon/Tue will see much in terms of new renders... Which is funny, as after the latest updates I am seriously considering that last IE girl, that with alternate parts makes a kickin' Commissar. Makes you wonder how many great alternate parts there are that we will never see.

To be fair to them there may well be almost finished renders for a lot (or even all) of the remaining figures

but their workflow seems to involve final tweeking/modifying en mass by the maestro

and after boobgate they don't want to show WIPS

(and yes this is annoying, but part of the cross we have to carry)

Only for a few months, though... if you believe their estimates.

Well, another live chat session and still no real idea as to when we'll see the renders. Though they're closer than we think, apparently.

Also, pledge manager will be closed the evening of the 17th (though there's no closer time than that)

Either way, under 100 hours until it's done with and we're just waiting on shipping.

We won't be seeing those renders or pictures before the times up.

But, but, they said we would!

I hope you like disappointment, because it's going to be another serving of that topped off with a sprinkling of broken dreams and a snooty chef telling you to shut up and accept it as is.

We shall see them 5 seconds before the PM closes,

those that have not completed it will be unable to do so until everybody elses stuff has shipped

people will cry

And then, they will go.

Must they?

Ninja'd.... like a pro.

Thank you, Gents.

So the only non-render I really tossed in my cart is Ludmilla... hoping that goes okay. If I can get a source in the U.S. on this stuff I may actually end up picking up some IE heroines at retail, but for now I think I'll just wait. I am glad the wereshewolf renders came out prior to the Pledge Manager closing... based on certain preferences in clothing style I changed the ones I was picking original based on concept art, and I STILL might decide to sculpt up something resembling the tattered remnants of a pre-transformation undershirt in the name of preserving the shewolf's human modesty and avoiding getting called a furry at my LGS.

The only model I bailed on was the Tech Priestess. That model is a lock to be a massive pain in the ass to assemble and if it doesn't look just so it's not worth the effort.
