Received my pledge today. I only went in for Ludus Magnus and no MIKH. Based my selections on aesthetic rather than playability.

Received:
Lupa, Aquila, Noxius, Vargr, Zahra and Gaius Pallidus

No broken pieces in transit. The Resin carried over very well from the masters and castings are quite good. Only flaws are a couple pinpricks in Noxious' butt-cape and Aquila's sword has a restic-like bend to it.

Favor dice have a good look and feel to them; cards/rules are nice, although wish the cards had rounded corners. Minor quibble for sure.

We HAVE A DELIVERY!!!!!

Where are you located?

I'm located in Mass. They're shipping USPS 2-day priority and it went out Tuesday.

What?!?

Me too!

Where in Massachusetts are you - could there actually be another ARENA REX player withing easy driving distance from me?

Holy gak. This could mean I'll get mine tomorrow.

Did they send you a shipping notice or anything?

RRG said they neglected to get email notification for the first 200 (out of 500) domestic packages they sent, so a good chunk will be happy little surprises.

Oh my! This is exciting!

I'm in Melrose. Would be cool if you were in the area; moving gladiators around solo and making pew-pew noises would just be silly.


No shipping notice, so was indeed a nice little surprise. I'll put up some shots later if I get a chance.

Melrose isn't too far away - we can probably meet up somewhere in the middle, maybe one of the Battlegrounds locations?

Been meaning to check that store out. The Abington one is a pretty straight shot for me.

Pictures of the minis I received. Nice clean casts and crisp detail for the most part. My photography skills don't do the quality of the faces justice. You can see the 2 minor flaws I mentioned earlier. The sword is going to be a PITA. Might see about getting that replaced.

Thanks for the pics, Triple9!

Also got a delivery. Out in CA.

Beautiful resin inside. Very well packed. I won't get a chance to play with the contents much this weekend, but I am super excited and pleased by what I can see so far.

Great to see a delivery,

and if the sword is just bent you'll easily be able to straighten it,

just boil some water, pour it into a cup and dip the sword in for a few seconds. It will become flexable and can be pressed flat easily then just let it cool (or quick cool in cold water)

Thanks, good to know. Thought the hot water trick only worked with PVC.

I got home last night and had a package on my doorstep. Arena Rex! Everything was there except the MIKH sculpt. As reported above the figures are clean, dice are gorgeous, cards and book are made of a nice stock and are well done. I like the character prints of the figures purchased. A nice touch.

Otho Mentulus is huge. He comes on a 40mm base. The bases are beautiful and clean casted. The fatigue counters are also simple and well done.

I'm in New Jersey.

My only concern is the where the feet of the models are attached to the base flash. I'm not sure how exactly I'm going to separate the delicate and small feet from the flash without snapping them.

I imagine this is an especially large concern with those that are barefoot, too.

No shipment for me today. Sad :(

Same here, unfortunately. Tried not to get my hopes up, but I failed miserably... only to be met with a sadly boxless front stoop when I got home from work.

Ah, well. I'll cross my fingers for tomorrow.

Got mine today.

Beautiful miniatures.

Resin seems to be quite a bit stronger than those used on the Wrath of Kings models but still fragile, you WILL need battle foam or some equivalent to transport these.

I thought these minis were suppose to come with little art prints with them too... no? I paid for a full set of them.

I'm guessing if we have 2 orders (1 via kickstarter 1 via paypa) they will come in seperate packages. I'm missing 200 bucks in miniatures all from my paypal order.

I'm going to break my key board.

the dice are so awesome I could make love to them right now.

I bought someone else's pledge off them and got my stuff in today and it looks awesome!

Downside is that I simply don't have time to assemble/play. If you'd be interested in buying my pledge, just let me know.

The figures I have:
Lupa
Aemillia
Ban Luca
Tiet khebi
Zahra
Frigge

Just asking what I paid ($100 + cost of shipping). PM me if interested!

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed right now. I emailed them asking if mine had shipped yet, and I'm glad I did. Apparently they had my order incorrectly recorded or something, and it hasn't even shipped yet. I question whether it would have ever shipped had I not reached out to them

Pretty unhappy that I was told on August 12 that my MIKH feth up order change was confirmed and correct only to find out as others are getting their product that it, in fact, was not resolved.

Ack, glad you reached out to them though, cincy! So do they have it sorted now?

I don't even know. They haven't responded yet, and I made my disappointment known.

I'll keep you all updates.

Should we be getting confirmation numbers or anything? I didn't get anything weird and am in the USA...

They also told me on this email that they've actually only even mailed about 15% of the orders, too....

I guess I'm not worried yet...maybe?

I too went for the "I'll buy something else from your store once MIKH is finally done" option.

I think I'll wait a week or so before asking them if they've sent mine yet...

Oh, good to hear, thanks for the info.

 spiralingcadaver wrote:

NP.

I mean, I probably shouldn't be as irritated as I am, but the thing is already late, and they told me I was good TWO MONTHS ago....

I just wish it had been resolved then, because like I said, I'm not sure it would have been had I not emailed them.

At least everything looks good

Admittedly, this goes a long way

Don't suppose anyone bought an extra Lupa they'd be willing to sell?

We need a puppy dog eyes Orkmoticon...

There's one listed in the swapshop here (although currently part of a lot, it wouldn't hurt to ask):

I've got a spare incoming, PM me if you're still looking...
