Keep in mind that once they are available in normal retail channels - you should be able to pick that one up for around $55 or so...which although pricier than the KS price, it is still an amazingly good deal when compared to other large figures.

Some sites like Miniature-Giant offer up to 36% off on Reaper products - so if you get together a large enough order...it could be down below $50.

I probably won't though. To be perfectly honest, I'm extremely pleased with what I got, just a little sad that I'm missing out on that piece. I didn't think I would, but the model has turned out better than I thought.

Edit:

UGH D: Well there goes my chances of seeing my KS rewards during April... :-\ I haven't gotten my "shipped" email, and they aren't processing any more until after the 23rd of April because of ReaperCon...

a truly huge undead dragon (even bigger, I think, than Kaladrax) that in bones will retail for $74.99

it's so beautiful

This is pretty much the one model that swung the whole KS for me

Looks like they are planning on keeping working the shipments over the weekend as opposed to stopping them today for Reapercon...

Pretty sure Bryan had said single vampires were done last week.

Most the stuff I have been seeing people get confirmations for since Thursday of last week have been 3-5 options.

My single Vampire + figure case (swapped Sophie for it) was postmarked Tuesday April 9th. Supposed to arrive this coming Monday.

**dalsiandon**

I got my email. Very exciting.

**Alfndrate**

I have a feeling I will be one of the people down the road to get my stuff since I have a Vampire, Cthulhu, and Kaladrax... and the link from Sean someone mentioned that none of the big three had been shipped :-\

**Polonius**

I figure to be near the end as well. I added the clockwork dragon, the demons, the forces of nature, and the pathfinder red dragon. (Yes, I not only delayed my shipment, but avoided every incredibly awesome model they did in this KS...)

I also ordered three of the paint sets, which I haven't heard anything about shipping.

One the one hand, I'm in no hurry between Adepticon and moving in May. On the other.. I wish I had made different choices.

**Taarnak**

I ordered at least one of every Bones figure/set. No paints, cases or Sophies, but I figure I'm still very near the end.

Can't wait.

**Sean_OBrien**

So far the most complicated order I have seen shipped was Vampire plus 6 options...and then there is this:

Bryan Stiltz about 2 hours ago

@Charwoman Gene: I had no idea that that guy stole my identity before I even had it! Funny stuff, though!Everybody - please do not read too much into the Dakka comment. YES we are still receiving in trucks. We ordered tens of thousands of each model, and have received a few hundred, or a few thousand, or in some cases, all. I loathe to give specifics, as every time I do somebody jumps on the words as applicable to everything, so I'll give one very vague example. There's an item we have received only 80% of our order for. We have exactly (with +200 units) enough to fulfill, but not enough to ship to distributors, so I am anxious to get those in so we can package them. Are there products that we haven't done yet? YES. Vampires plus paints and a few (1-7) add ons can all fit into my smallest box, and we're working on those first. We have not added in C'thulus and kaladraxes etc. to our filters yet, because those boxes are the size of a vamp and change my calculations considerably. Giants and such also cannot fit inside the vamp box, so they're in the next wave of shipments. And no, I probably won't announce when I begin that wave, I'll probably just do it.So is everything in? No. Is it a problem, not really. Anything I don't have enough of now, I will soon enough.

**Alfndrate**

Dakka Comment? did I miss something?

**Alpharius**

And... aren't there some Giants in "Vampire" sets already?

The Vampires were pre-packed, so I'm assuming he's referring to add-on giants

Somebody speculated (wrongly) that Reaper didn't have some of the figures at all yet and it caused a mild wave of panic/oh noes

(yes they are still getting shipments in but remember they are planning to sell them after KS fulfilment both themselves and via distribution and this is stuff for that)

but it's just progressing as planned.

As far as I can tell what they are doing is using one size of box (which may well be the recycled boxes pairs of vampire boxes came in), if it can fit in there cool, if the pledge needs a bigger box you've got to wait till they move to the next box up

**Sean_OBrien**

Think this is the first shot of Special K being painted...

Really liking the extra detail on that base...didn't notice that it had details like a head from a statue on it too.

**Sinful Hero**

Is that the dragon from before or after the adjustments they mentioned they were going to do it? Looks like the bones around the neck aren't as fat. Pretty sweet model too.

While I'm still a bit sad that I won't be getting Nethyrmaul, that photo made me feel better about it, thanks for the updates Sean!

**Sean_OBrien**

I ended up getting all the dragons (well, all of everything and then some...except the Orcpocalypse thing...). Reaper do a wonderful job on dragons, and I have everyone of their metal ones...I figured that bigger and lighter that wouldn't need me to put on my back brace to move them about (not really...but those big pewter dragons are heavy) could not be a bad thing.

In other news...they must be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, because Bryan had time to comment on this thread:

http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/48718-rumors/

"I am aware of having suggested over a dozen product ideas for future Kickstarters. Warlord was one of the many ideas suggested. Cloning me (and a few others) was also suggested."

Hrmmm...inexpensive, plastic, warlord armies? They have a lot of nice figures through that range.

**Eilif**

I know there was at least one, (slightly modified) Warlord fig that was included in the kickstarter. It was a paladin'ish guy with a big shield.

Anyone know how many other Warlord figs made it into the KS?

**Sean_OBrien**

I think the fire and ice giants are Warlord figures, same with the spidertaurs, the big demon, I think one or two mummies, the big frost wyrm...with all the little guys, I would need to check them. There was a thread in their forum that listed them out and what could be used as logical proxies...pretty sure they had covered most the factions.

**gunslingerpro**

Still no email. Kaladrax is a gift and a curse, or so it would appear.

I feel your pain, unfortunately...they are dealing with Reapercon now and have a couple hundred people hanging out in the factory and warehouse talking with their paint folks and sculptors...and generally having a good time. We should see shipments start back up rather quickly after it gets done and they will be getting into more complicated and larger orders too based on the confirmation emails and recieved packages.

**H.B.M.C.**

No E-mails for me. I got Vampire - Sophie + figure case + 4 add-ons (fish people, Hydra, Frost Wyrm & spider-elf people). Guess I'll be waiting 'til the end.

Enjoy your models, gents, I'll unpack mine in June some time, hah.

**Sean_OBrien**

Couple of pictures of the Bones display from Reapercon...

Pretty good view of Big K's base (with even more detail that I didnt notice on the other pictures)

A picture of Nethermaul and the Bone Giant...to put things in perspective, the bone giant is around 4.5-5 inches tall

Another shot of everything all in one frame

More pictures in the thread on their forum

**Maddermax**

Just been watching the Video of the bones set up at ReaperCon... Man, I'm glad I grabbed Kaladrax and Cthulu, even if I have to wait an extra month thanks to them.

Also, you can hear Reaper-Bryan talking about how Kaladrax was actually meant to be a fair bit smaller, except they read the sizing wrong at the Chinese factory (It was meant to be 11" wide, but they though it was supposed to be 11" Tall, and scaled it up to that), so thanks random factory people for making out miniatures even more epically scaled
