I did get the DVD. I'm in the US though so my shipment was packed at a different location than yours.

I bought the battlebox and a heavy vector. I only finished assembling Syntherion and the heavy vector. Bad parts as follows:
Syntherion's spindly arms and weaponry (spinning disc and pointy drill bit with pipes are the worst bits)
Heavy vector legs and weapon arms (gears, off-round distorted missiles)
The light vectors (pretty much the whole thing but pay special attention to the legs, spindly arms, and the lower torso (hip?) that has a systemic molding defect on the piping (no casts exist where this has been molded correctly).
If you buy them and clean them up I would love to see pics.

...That's a bit expensive, lol. Name one model (rather not a heavy vector  ) and I'll be happy to oblige

You could see if anyone in your area bought two battle boxes and has an extra Syntherion or light vector to sell. Or buy a box and then return it to PP for being crap.
On topic, yeah I got my DVD with my second wave. Still haven't opened it. I've been too busy selling off the wave two models.

The figures really aren't all that hard to work with. But agreed, that's a nice cost just for the figurs alone.

Comes close to being worth it for the bases... @angryboy2k "Syntherion or light vector" Will have a look around  edit and forget about it for now; nothing second hand around here, and they don't sell the *&%( base box models separately as far as I can see...

I got my DVD. Haven't watched it yet. I should also download that HD torrent of the video that they put out awhile back. Anyone still got the link?

Sweet, bought. Going to see if I can use these minis for Deadzone Plague and Rebs. The Strain are nicer minis than the Plague for that sci-fi zombie/mutant design although the style is so different I might just use them as a generic zombie horde for sci-fi. Mainly interested in the human stuff though, with Rebs the more sculpt variety the better really, they're supposed to be an "everything and the kitchen sink" faction and mine will have minis from deadzone, urban war, sedition wars and even mars attacks (alien tiger corp and mercs) in there.
Had a look at the contents and a little surprised at the number of repeat sculpts... isn't that something that the kickstarter should have funded, making the core game good quality instead of going off and doing a bazillion random KS exclusives that contributed crap all to making it a retail success? Think there's a lesson to be learned there, with a mil of funding they could have done hard plastic modular 3d spaceship interior terrain and made a killing at retail.
If it's one thing I do like about Mars Attacks, it's the fact that while the minis are 1-piece, there are 10 different martian and 10 different US soldier poses to avoid the repetition problem.
Oh well, very glad I didn't back this but on the other hand also very glad to have snagged a ton of cheap minis that are excellent sculpts.
The scale is okay on the base game, right? It's only the wave 2 stuff that went all stick insect?
Also, is the game any good, or should I just keep the minis and bin the rules/ tiles?

yeah,
Almost worth buying just for the cool plastic bases.
40p a base not bad.
Is there a market for reselling the minis without bases?

If anyone is looking at this just for the bases and not the minis, I'll happily trade a full set of bases for a full set of minis.

Did you guys see that apparently, folks asking for refunds were asked to destroy their models?
Quote from one user on October 18th:
Andreas Øwre wrote:i mailed them about 6 hours ago and asked for a full refund. They sent me a confirmation email stating I would get a returnslip and a full refund about an hour later. Glad to be rid of this terrible product. Poor game, poor quality (tiles and cardboard w1, miniatures w2) Post campain customer service however is top notch.
Followed by this on November 13th:
Andreas Øwre wrote:I was just asked to Destroy the contents. And destroy them I will!
Another user from November 5th:
Guillaume Bernard wrote:I just asked a refund and got an answer the same day telling me to destroy my figs to get the refund. Then it took almost 2 weeks to get the refund by paypal.
Guillaume Bernard wrote:They ask for a picture of the destroyed minis.
Must say was a real pleasure doing that, almost cathartic.
I don't know if this is just for overseas backers as both had interesting names. There was one other user who also said they were asked to destroy theirs, but one just 2 days ago said that they were asked to return theirs to the warehouse in the US (and they were in the UK). So, maybe it depends on what the items are- the backer asked to return the models was for wave 3 (I'm assuming that's just some of the exclusives, whereas maybe the others were the base box).
Certainly interesting... I think Andreas is right in the way he characterizes his disappointment- it was with the tiles in wave 1, and the miniatures in wave 2. If you can snag the base box for a deal, or the terrain, I think that'd be very smart imo.

I'm perfectly serious about it - anyone interested in more of the minis should drop me a line, I'll gladly buy the bases at somewhere around that rate

If it doesn't sell, I'll PM you guys on the terrain.

Just to clarify, is this folks requesting a refund for sedition wars stuff? because if so, now that theyve started it could open the flood gates....

I own several Studio McVey miniatures and will attest to their excellent quality and good customer service.
I have been leery of CMON ever since I bought an elf on a giant owl because they were 'Limited Edition' and there were only a handful left... and then they changed their minds and kept making and selling more. I spent money leaving me short one week to get that figure, because I feared that once gone, I'd have no opportunity to get it again.
There is something 'off' about CMON and their business ethos.
I will happily continue to purchase from Studio McVey in the future, I will continue to tread with wariness around CMON and continue to refuse participation in any of their projects as I did when it was clear they were involved in this.

Does throwing boxes of miniatures into the ocean count as destroying them? Because I reckon you could have some fun with that.
