I'm gonna expect us to blaze through to 360k with that new stretch goal and the tiles!

I do like how they justify having two of the same character at the same time.

Indeed. I think I may have to name my Cthonian "Prime" Starscream. Cloning scheming lackeys from himself seems to be his new "thing" and it totally fits the Cthonian now.

I'm really hoping after this for strain versions of the current characters and for more promo figures. I'm in the camp that loves the idea of promo figures.

But this is a fun, solid stretch and the second set of tiles is definitely something people have been clamoring for. Me, I'd rather just buy a second box set at that point

Ooooo darmit. Now it's hit that point where I need to decide... Lights out pack and the floor tiles, or spend that extra $25 and get a second Biohazard level and just paint some of the mountain of extra models as camo/irradiated instead

I'm still staying with Biohazard .. Might add ripley later, but the regular $100 is still hella good on it's own. Extra tiles are tempting, but I'd rather start playing the game first before I decide if I'll ever even need em..

Graphical summary time:

Oh, there's a note on Kickstarter about what the different tiles are. In the base game we get

Cargo Bay
Engine control
Catwalks
Reactor Core
Personnel area
Living quarters
Control centre
Science Bay
Transit Station
Escape Pods

In addition to this, we also get two transit car tiles that are smaller, which makes me wonder if they sit on the Transit Station tile tracks, or if they represent a special level.

There's also confirmation that one terrain set and the boards from the box are enough to run all of the campaigns and they don't intend to make you buy extras in any campaign. The option for the extra boards etc. are purely there for board-junkies like H.B.M.C and me

However YES 2ND CTHONIAN. I've only wanted it since the beginning.

That is why I went with the 2nd complete set. I get extra dice, 80 more miniatures, and another set of boards. Seems the cheaper way to get things. I don't get the terrain but I can just get that later. I thought about the lights out but the models are per guy more expensive and I get less of them.

As I said earlier in the thread, I'm a sucker for gimmicky models. Also, don't need a second set of rules, I've had it confirmed that another member of my group is getting a Biohazard set, too.

Guess if we need the room, we'll combine our tiles.

Am having second thoughts on the terrain, though that would be just to save some money right now. Would still buy it later when it came out.

Welcome to my world........it's warm in here!!

Now I just have to hope I can get it all delivered to work, not home...

Yea I must admit if you're getting Light Out just for the figures and you're getting the extra tiles, maybe it'll be better to get x2 biohazards

Given that it has just jumped almost $4000 in an hour, I'm wondering how many people have just upgraded from Biohazard to We've Got Movement.

I'm still sad that I don't have a spare $2000 to go for the painting lessons from Mike and Ali :(

I think plenty of peeps also jumped onto Biohazard after they published that picture showing what you get. I know I got sucked in when Zombicide did that.

That's what you say, but it is what PEER PRESSURE does.

If any of those people frequent here, Lmk, maybe we can work something out, none icecream related.

Regarding getting games later cheaper CMON posted something interesting:

CMoN said on BGG:
Note: The Zombicide pre-order offers you're seeing are unlikely to be filled, at least at the pricing they're being offered at. Why? Because Zombicide is in short supply, we're allocating units, and we have a minimum advertised price policy. Breaching that means the stores in question won't be getting any. So, caveat emptor, especially on pre-orders from unauthorized sources.

Good for them.

That is a very nice summary indeed.

I wont be getting the tile pack... HBMC (in my gaming group) might have 3 by the end if this anyway...

What does that mean? Is CMoN accusing Zombicide of fraud, of making a preorder offer they can't keep? Will that affect the kickstarter orders of Zombicide?

Edit: Seems some stores make offers they can't keep, not Zombicide.

...Zombicide's a product, not a retailer. They appear to be saying that CMoN will not sell Zombicide to any third party retailer that sells below RRP.

Are those Opticamo figures going to be available outside of this?

Because I frickin' love those.
