Thank you backers ... funded and more! Some more details on the miniatures

First off thank you backers. The project funded in under one hour. I know we have done several KickStarters but that type of speed of funding is always amazing to see and was not expected! So thank you.

I've had some questions on the miniatures from people that backed the project in 2012 so wanted to make sure I list the details.
•The miniatures are shown painted so you can see the details but they will come to you unpainted (so you can paint them up in the colors of your favorite local team)
•All the miniatures in resin are one piece miniatures. Most of the metal miniatures in 2012 were two piece miniatures. We have fixed that so all the resin miniatures are now one piece.
•In the initial offering I neglected to realize that someone might want both the Punk/Glamour teams and the 2 Pro teams with their reward. I added a reward that allows you to get the board game and all 4 teams now. You can also add $20 to any reward level to get another set of roller derby minis (so you can get all 4 teams).
•How can we be sure we'll have shipping of miniatures done by December 5th when so many miniature KickStarter get delayed? Originally we had planned on creating resin Punk/Glamour teams 2 years ago. So we had new masters made and the work was going forward. We had some more important projects come up so the resin mold was delayed. So when the chance came up to buy back the rights to the board game, we were in a position to call our caster and tell him to start working. The resin molds are already finished and with funding so quickly ... castings will be poured and will be bagged up and ready for shipping by Saturday. So we will definitely be ready. The plan is to send out surveys the day after the KickStarter and plan to start shipping rewards within 2 to 3 days of the end of the KickStarter.

So we've funding ... any stretch goals?

Yes ... the funding goal of $500 let us pay to make the resin molds. Now comes the bigger goal which is covering the cost of buying back the rights to get Impact City Roller Derby back to Impact! I want to be clear that Impact! will cover any short fall on this ... but being able to cover this large expense for our small company will be the basis of the stretch goals.

So the half-way point for paying for rights and inventory is at $4000.

When we reach $4000 for Stretch Goal #1, we will add a Joan of Dark jammer mini to every backer who is getting miniatures or the board game. Joan of Dark was a jammer for the Naptown Roller Girls and she was converted into a miniature as part of the reward level for a new roller derby miniature from the 2012 KickStarter.



Thank you again backers!

Apologies to anyone outside the USA trying to get the board game. This was a quick opportunity to buy back my game and so there was not time to search out fullfillment companies to offset the shipping charges outside the USA. The amount I put for postage to both Canada and everywhere else was the amounts giving to me by USPS for the weight the package will be. No one wishes more than me that it was A) less expensive or B) that I had more time on the clock to seek out a less expensive option for shipping outside the USA. Not trying to gouge anyone ... in fact the point of the KickStarter was to offer the game itself for as little as I could possibly charge for it. Unfortunately I have no control on reducing the amount charged by the USPS or I would make it less. And I completely understand if the community outside the US passes on this KickStarter as a result. For buyers in the US ... its a great deal and this project will be huge on helping me buy back the rights to Impact City Roller Derby.

STRETCH GOAL #1 reached! Joan of Dark unlocked! Salacious T for Stretch Goal #2

We reached $4000 this morning backers ... Thank You! This means the project has made sufficient funds to cover the cost of creating the resin punk/glamour miniatures and pay for half of the fee to buy back the rights and stock of Impact City Roller Derby from Game Salute. That is great ... many thanks. (as a reminder Impact! Miniatures will cover any amount remaining to buy back the rights and stock even if this KickStarter cannot cover the full expense).

That means all of the 2 team resin sets of miniatures (either Glamour/Punk or Pro) will contain one free Joan of Dark jammer miniature. The miniature will be unpainted and is a two piece metal miniature.

If you have an derby friends or teams you can let know about the final 6 days of this KickStarter ... that support is greatly appreciated!

STRETCH GOAL #2

At $9000, this KickStarter will reach enough funding to fully pay for all the expenses to buy back the rights from Game Salute. If we reach that level, we'll include an unpainted one piece metal copy of a miniature of blocker Salacious T from the Naptown Roller Girls. Salacious T gives your team a more full bodied blocker to add to the team and really lay the beat down on opposing players. I saw her once with a legal block lift a Jammer completely a foot off the ground and sailing out of bounds. She was a fun player to watch in action and we will include her for free with each 2 team resin set when we reach $9000.

However ... if you are concerned we will not make $9000 or are saying that you want both of your teams to be able to have a Salacious T model. Fear not ... you can add one (or more) Salacious T models to your reward for $3 each. Just increase your pledge amount by $3 for each copy of Salacious T you would like to add to your reward.

Salacious T full figured blocker miniature - $3 add-on (and/or one free with each resin set if we reach $9000 for Stretch Goal #2)
