Do we know whether stuff thats been available on their store before thats now out of stock will be buyable again in the near future? Had my eye on the smoke knight and a few other models for forever now, but has never been available when i visit the store page sadly...

Most of the popular stuff comes back with an encore- although it sells out incredibly fast. There's no known rhyme or reason to it, sadly.

Iirc he mostly puts new stuff up around the 20th late at night, so you might try haunting the Kingdom Death news thread around then. Dakkanauts are usually pretty good about letting others know when stuff hits the store.

Also make sure you're signed up for the newsletter, as you'll get notified of releases

(although stuff can sell out in the time between them pressing send and you getting the mail it isn't always)

I think the smoke knight has also been spotted as a plastic sprue, so I would imagine if/when it comes back, it will be as a proper KD expansion set

Keep in mind this is only a rumour for now but a backer emailed Adam about the expansions and got a response that backers will have to cover shipping .

2 days ago

In update 97 Adam said that we should have the expansions by the end of January. I emailed him this morning to ask if they will be sending tracking numbers this time since I haven't received one yet and got this response:

"I never mentioned a date that expansions would ship.

When they are ready, we are also going to require people to cover shipping fees for them."

and update #97 said

Expansions Here is exactly where we are with the expansions......
We are hoping to get these out before the holidays, but I am more realistic about Jan 2016.

That reads as shipping in January to me not that I actually expected January shipping to happen.

Wait and see I suppose.

I don't remember conversations about having to pay additional shipping either - though I certainly may have missed them!

I believe that'd be a new thing, but I'd like more confirmation than a random backer posting the text of a supposed email. It could be misunderstanding in the conversation and it refers to the previously mentioned promo and scenario cards since we only have the reply and not the original question.

It wouldn't be surprising though, unfortunately. If that is going to be the case then that should go out sooner than later via official update.

Huh? That I'm suddenly on the hook for Wave 3 (Expansions) shipping charges news to me.

When I open Update #97, and just look at the Wave 3 bits, Poots said:

Wave 3 - Expansions
Details TBA. These will most likely be handled by the same warehousing partners we are using for wave 2. So they will also ship locally.

...

Expansions Here is exactly where we are with the expansions.

- All expansion miniatures have been produced.
- I approved digital proofs.
- There is so much artwork in these it makes me want to throw up!
- Next step is to receive and approve final boxed physical samples.
- Ive been given an “end of September” date for these being ready to ship.
- I suggest you take that with a fistful of salt, as historically the dates I’ve been provided have not met with reality.
- We are hoping to get these out before the holidays, but I am more realistic about Jan 2016.

Nowhere did he call out additional shipping charges.

If he's changing the deal, I think it's in his best interest to 'fess up and tell backers NOW.

I'm going to assume it was crossed wires with the Promo hard copies requiring extra shipping myself.

But I'm sure we'll know soon enough.

Wait and see, it could be miscommunication or plain old trolling.

Yeah, definitely waiting for anything official before getting emotionally invested.

I'm thinking Sinful Hero has the right of it:

I believe Krinsath mentioned it in this thread before I did.

Fair enough!

All credit and glory to Krinsath and Sinful Hero!

Personally, paying additional shipping makes no difference to me. I didn't pitch in for all the expansions, just the Dragon, Tree, and Spider. Now I've played the game I'll want some of the other expansions like the Lantern Festival, Gorm and Sunstalker (basically, the Major Game expansions).

So eitherway, I'll be paying for shipping when these are availale on the store, so if my Wave 3 can be added to this, I've no issue. I'll be pee'd off if I have to pay shipping for just my Wave 3, and not combined with the other stuff I want to order. Also need an additonal set of dice as I campain with a Dice Hog.

Well there is a new help site for them now (today)

http://kingdomdeath.com/support/

(the old one support@kingdomdeath.zendesk.com no longer works)

Adam just surfaced in the KS comment,



he's prepping the Expansions fulfilment update (no time scale and I'm sure there's tons to photo etc)

Heck yeah! Can't wait for my expansions to come in.

Also: Mandatory mobile gripe about giant images not in spoiler tags.

Dakka resizes them - they're not that big!

(Currently viewing on my iPhone 6 and everything looks great!)

It does resize, but sometimes it takes a while(on my i6 as well ATM). Also when using "First Unread" it occasionally drags you back a couple posts because of the resize. Not really a big deal, but more of a minor inconvenience.

Not sure what going on with your setup, but I'm not seeing any of that here.

Anyway, what I'm most interested in is a ship date for all the Wave 3 stuff, as the last we kind of sort of tentatively heard was 'January' I thought...

Happens to me periodically too, mostly in the Mierce thread where there are like 3-4 giant images at a shot.

Also, goddamn I am excited to finally get my expansions, armor sets and character extras!

Alpharius, pretty sure that was hope/speculation that put it in january

You're probably right, but I would've sworn it was also based on us reading into something Adam said!

Wandering if the latest KDM sales from the online store are an attempt to make some $$$ to pay for KS Wave 3 shipping? I’d love some extra dice, but $10 dice plus $26 shipping isn’t viable for me. Unfortunately, (and everyone has this person in their group), we have a dice hoarder. Can’t find a dice? Then look over to their corner and you’ll find them all!

There is more meat on the Wave 3 shipping costs. Recently in the KS comments an individual has been given a full refund for their pledge as their box was lost in the post. Poots was unwilling to send a replacement due to the high cost of shipping.

Poot’s has said he’s preparing an update, but the last time we had an update to tell us there is an update coming, it was 2 months inbetween…..

The postage costs are (sadly) what he actually gets charged for the service so he's not making anything there

(although I would not be surprised if at least some of the profits from the minis end up subsidising our postage costs)

there did seem to be a glitch were some people were only able to get more expensive postage costs, but not the basic slower service ($14 and change last time round)

$23 for just dice seems that you've hit the glitch

(not relevant to you but also possible that people exceeding the insured value of the cheaper service may have been blocked from getting it which would fit in with Adams suggestion that he's seen a big rise in dubious non-delivery claims)

For those not in the know, Wave 3 is now shipping immediately from warehouses across the world. $17 shipping fee is required. All is explained in the latest update:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/poots/kingdom-death-monster/posts/1493648

The KS Savings for buying the expansions are huge. RRP for the Dragon King Expansion will be $125, whilst KS backers paid $45. The only expansion not to ship is the Latern Festival.

Really stupidly excited by this, even though I've only managed a couple of Lantern Years so far. On the plus side, this means I can restart a campaign with everything except the lantern festival

Hope he puts up the expansions for sale after everyone gets their rewards- I missed a few, and want to rectify that.
