He's got a combo order with a few other people so there is that...
But at a glance, I'd say the answer is "A lot" - and most likely battlezones upon battlezones of scenery!
Yeah, I let my gaming group get in on my order. 'A lot' is a good way to put it. I'll take a pic when it gets here this morning.
Seems crazy that they shipped it yesterday and it'll be here this morning.

I think I got the new 'extra shapes' battlezone, (anyone got that and taken pictures yet?) and my two ruins sprues from the first survey, 90 zombies, and a starter+bundle for the expanded universe factions. Oh and 6 striders. So... quasi-modest box, surely.
you can click the link on mission control for sprue pics of the new scenery sprues. I've already desprued/rebagged all of mine so I can't take larger ones but if you need pics of specific bits or anythig, holler

I did the same for the Mantis case kickstarter. 18 cases will be showing up at some stage, should be fun haha. Your group would have managed some decent savings by ensuring they get strike teams and bogofs to split rather than buying individual faction starters.
--- Glad I went in for a few of each of these, should be fun to play and paint ; ) WTB giant mutated mantics though. My pet Mantis can ride his slave giant ant to battle though I guess.
Hot on the heels of the Masters of Science released yesterday is today’s newest preview! So here we go – a few weeks ago we showed off the Giant Mutant Ant…
... today you get the Giant Mutant Spider!

Actually, that's my cut. Everyone ordered what they wanted and then I fit it together using bogofs and such. So any extra goes towards my cut (I put in 262 on second survey after discounts).

Your wish is my command. Only available for Deadzone right? As it's the most complex iirc. No shipping notice for any Mantic stuff for me lately -_-. Ahh well, absence makes the heart grow bitter and jealous.
Those are probably master bugs. Here's hoping the production ones come out well. I was content to trust as I really do think Mantic has improved steadily in a lot of respects but can deffo see why you wouldn't still.
--- Yay mine has shipped, though an inferior 8kgs. Deffo picking up some more peacekeeprs for wave 3. Prolly some other stuff too -_-
Good news folks - all of the Deadzone Wave 2 Order have been picked!
The vast majority have now been shipped, but we’ve some last orders that need to be booked for courier shipping.
Spoiler:
Some of the remaining orders. These are really heavy items that are sent by courier, and they take a little time to log in to the system.
This will take a couple of days to complete – but that means we should be finished by Friday –and the great news is that they arrive the next working day so we are really nearly there!
As we near the end of shipping, all of the reports we’ve seen have been mostly positive on how much better the quality of the miniatures and how much better the packing of orders have been. In context, few packages have had anything reported as being missing, which is fantastic!
One item that has been brought to our attention as missing is the Inferno Drill and Brokkr Engineer from the Forge Father Booster Bundle. Unfortunately this item was indeed mis-packed. Anyone who is owed one will receive it as part of their final shipment. Please do not fill out the missing bits form if you've not received one of these in your Booster Bundle.
Some people who have paid for courier shipping may have also got dispatch emails from the courier (usually UPS or Fedex) as well as a Royal Mail dispatch email. Please ignore the Royal Mail email, it was sent in error.
Third Shipment Update
Below is a photo of the first test shot from the Forge Guard mold. As you can see, we’ve highlighted some of the pitting and details that needed fixing.
We’ve delayed the models so that we can improve the quality of them. However, you can also see how sharp the rest of the components are. With the work that’s going into the three sprues, October looks increasingly unlikely as the delivery date, with November looking much more realistic. This means that we’ve time for a third Deadzone survey if you want a final chance of getting stuff from the Deadzone Kickstarter!
Third Survey
A third survey gives you a chance to get some of the items you might not have been able to pick up before, and a final opportunity to make use of some of the silly Kickstarter prices, like Enforcers in Peacekeeper armour for just $10! They will not be this price after this survey closes!!!
Not everything was shown off before we closed the last survey. The Asterians and Forge Fathers were concept art for example, so now you’ve seen all the photos, you might want to dip back in and pick some up.
Similarly, you will be able to get extra mats if you’ve been dying to try out a multi-mat game since reading Deadzone: Incursion, or play with the A.I. rules from Contagion with a set of Plague Zombies and the A.I. Deck.
And the icing on the cake - everything will ship post free!
The Third Survey will be released on the 22nd September and will close on the 5th October, giving you two weeks to fill your boots with as much Deadzone as you can handle.
This will give us time to tick off your paypal requests, process your orders and add them to your third shipment.
And finally...
The time has come again where hobbyists from the 4 corners of the globe converge on Nottingham for a day of complete and total hobby madness.
Yes the Mantic Open Day returns on the 29th November at our Nottingham HQ.
We'll have loads of learn-to-play events, a DreadBall Tournament, and big Mars Attacks and Kings of War games, plus all of the latest previews and sneak peaks from the studio and the seminars with Ronnie.
You can read more about what is going on here, and you fancy coming to see us for a day of gaming (maybe even bring your strike force with us to show off!) then pop along to Notts and see us. We've got a very low-priced single ticket, a discounted family/group ticket for four people and then a separate ticket for tournament entry. Each ticket also includes a goodie bag full of lovely stuff.
Grabs yours on the website!

Sounds like dz wave 2 may well beat battle systems arriving to my door. And I'm sure some folks will be thrilled to see a third survey especially after we've gotten to see a lot more production shots now.
Deadzone wave 2 is going to beat Robotech wave 1, which was originally supposed to be a single shipment, to my door, so even with an unexpected 3rd wave Mantic are gaking all over Palladium on meeting expectations.

My wife looks at the table. "We're gonna need to clean off some more shelves."
Automatically Appended Next Post: Anyone else have issues with the Asterian Booster Bundle? Mine has two little bags of dudes in it and the specialist booster. No jetbikes at all. I think they put two starter bags in instead of two faction booster bags.
Automatically Appended Next Post: It also appears I did not get my free compendium (which I was promised in KS message) or the two special edition miniatures (which scarletsquig predicted).
Automatically Appended Next Post: I have most of an extra marauder booster bundle though.

I'll be needing to check my soon to arrive order - today!
Yeah I got these gratis from Mantic- $55 of credit . I hope I get some decent casts though. Some of my scenery from the World Cup discount offer came all warped (mainly on the fortifications sprue). Not too bothered about it though as I'm sure I'll find a use for it elsewhere.

Is anyone here getting the dead figures? I'd be curious to see pics of them, as Mantic mission control doesn't have any.
Unless I'm mistaken, the dead figures are shown in that photo of the Giant Mutant Ant/Spider
Warped tiles? Was it shipped in a tight box or excessively hot or anything? Jeez, I have... maybe... 12 battlezones... or more? worth of terrain, the only problems I've had is a couple pieces having popped off at some point during transit/being manhandled by my ponderous hamfists.

I do a lot of swapping in the SS and Bartertown, so I'm getting really good at sorting stuff. As for the pile, I packed up the boxes for each person who ordered with me and now I'm good to go. I think mine was only about $400 all told (between both surveys).

Pleased they're going with a 3rd survey, ~$60 for an entire Peacekeeper/proxy Terminator army I only just resisted at survey 2 (in favour of more battlezones) sounds like a goer this time round !
And I thought the packing was bad on Wave 1. Brace for impact, here's my missing parts list.
Enforcer Booster Bundle
3 Striders
Iron Ancestor
Pathfinder on Bike
Stuntbot
Enforcer wit Thermal Rifle
Plague Enforcer
Sorak Swordspawn
Metal Marauder Upgrade Pack
Any and all bases outside the starter/boosters
Also everything they still owed me from wave 1:
Boomer
Helfather
3 Marauder Pyros
Chovar
And the cheeky devil marked off everything on the order form...
The old meta is dead and the new meta struggles to be born. Now is the time of munchkins.
You sure there isn't a box missing? I had two and a lot of that kind of stuff was in the second box.

Did you have a tracking number? A Shipment can have multiple Packages, each with their own Tracking. However, one Tracking for a single Package from a Shipment can reference the entire Shipment, and all Packages can be viewed. At least, that's how UPS works.
