My package is marked "shipment received" so I guess mine in on it's way? Though it has said that since the 17th...

I'm guessing that is 'electronic shipping info received', which means it's waiting at Reaper for the truck to arrive (as mine has been since the 17th)...

but a few minutes ago mine has had two new entries

'arrived sort facility: Chicago' & 'processed through sort facility: Chicago'

so I guess Reaper has had another USPS truck in and my are Bones are on the way!

Hopefully your's will be on the move too

(note that despite filling in the bit on the USPS site that promises to email you when your shipment status changes I didn't get an email (and it's not in spam either) so you probably need to check manually

Ditto!

I've just received another parcel via the same method - A handy hint for Brits - once it's in this country, use the same reference number on the Parcelforce tracking page, you get more details.

Minw is in Seacargo too

Status Report
Update #96 · Jul 19, 2013 · 24 comments

We wanted to take a moment to give everyone a quick update.

International customers: we're still working through our international shipments. USPS's international shipment policies caused our shipping counter to fall out of sync, so we took it down. Please don't be alarmed.

When we get to your order, our system will send you a shipping confirmation.

Undertakers: your rewards are being processed and we will begin shipping next week.

When we get to your order, our system will send you a shipping confirmation.

As always, if you have any questions regarding your shipments, contact questions@reapermini.com. Our front office is flooded with emails and phone calls, so please be patient. We will get back with you as soon as we can. And make sure you include your Kickstarter email address and/or your order number in all correspondence.

As always, thank you!

So... still chewing their way through, but no view of how far to go.

Finally got back to the country and unboxed my rewards. Woot!

**TheAuldGrump**

That's... a lot of Bones.

That is pretty epic

I don't suppose you would be able to do a close up of some of the "clear" elementals and spirits would you? I've not seen many pictures of them and was wondering what they were like.

Edit: I've also got the bones KS open in a tab and every so often I have to just have a look at all the stuff I am getting

The clears are the same quality as the others but they are impossible to get a good picture of unless painted.
links to metal equivalents and the large fire elemental painted, and scale shot.

Thanks guys - i was wondering just what kind of property the coloured plastic models would have.

Looking at the images above i might forgoe inks to add depth and just spray them white and paint them up in flames etc.

Everything on the table, now in storage containers. This is what you get when you cross a compulsive gamer with a compulsive organizer.

However, a friend did mention that one batch of Duplicolor White that he got a few months ago on sale at Walmart has been tacky on his metal and resin models... so folks having trouble with Duplicolor on Bones may want to test the primer on metal as well - there is a bad batch out there, maybe.

The Auld Grump

Correction to this - I saw his primed minis yesterday - he put on gobs of the stuff.

Odds are good that it was not the primer in this case, just a heavy hand with a spray can.....

The thing was shiny because of how much primer he had on it.

I am going to show him how to prime before he kills any more minis....

HA!! Been there, bought the t-shirt

**Azazelx**

Nice Haul, Robby! How many Vampire sets is that?

**SavageRobby**

Two vamps plus thirty other add-ons or so (and a few paint sets).

It was an awesome 2 hours spent doing it, to!

But how compulsive are you really? One more post and you'll be at 5555... might not have to post for a week to preserve that

I have some massive bones envy right now...

Oh well, I'll pick up a few when they hit retail. Up until now the only bones figure I had was a unicorn that my four year old daughter decided she wanted to paint...so, I have no bones figures of my own still.

Dude... comments of having envy over massive bones... you gotta be careful about straight lines like that.

I'm used to it.

**Wehrkind**

Compulsive... not always observant

**porkuslime**

Anyone know what the regular retail is going to be on Cthulhu?

I got one, and now have caused envy amongst friends..

**BobtheInquisitor**

I believe he is $40, but will probably be around $32-35 after discount from The War Store.

Looks like the Sponginess thread on the Reaper forums got locked. I may have played a part in that. Sorry, guys.

**Colfax**

Just got my box today and everything looks in order except Im missing the cases that I ordered.
Did I miss a posting that said that they were being delivered later?
