SoCal resident who also received their package today. I did receive a notification about it however.

Awww.

Nothing on the porch but a couple of cheap Hell Dorado guys I got off ebay.

Shucks.

Still haven't gotten an email though. I also have a base game rather than a Survivor pledge, since I didn't get the pledge levels at the time (being my first Kickstarter, and nobody helping me upgrade my pledge).

Oh well. Guess I'm painting ugly Christians tonight.

We should probably try to keep the "delivery updates" to a minimum here in the KD: N&R thread.

So got my box this morning, and began assembling the prologue figures. They go together easy enough, but there's a few leftover butcher bits and loincloths I cant match up. Are there assembly instructions anywhere?

Very cool. Mine is slated to arrive tomorrow.

Can anyone who has got it provide an inventory of the sprues in the survivor bonus rewards box? Between not getting my wave 1 yet and the reward organization being a bit disjointed, I'm not sure what extras are supposed to be in there. The unboxings I watched tend to hold up the Phoenix and then move along.

People in Seattle are receiving there boxes... Im literally right off I-5 and they are probably driving right past me on their way to Washington... I think im going to have to stand on the side of the road and jump out in front of an Ontrac truck!

EDIT: Wife just sent me text of Survive Level box on out front porch, whew, no having to jump out in front of OnTrac truck now!

Got my wave 1 yesterday. Contents were as expected.

Packing slip said:
1x t-shirt, 1x messenger of the spiral path, 1x messenger of courage, 1x messenger of humanity

Box contents:
1x t-shirt, 1x messenger of the spiral path, 1x messenger of courage, 1x messenger of humanity, 1x white speaker, 1x bag of hairdo candy


I posted a craptastic unboxing on my youtube, along with some other random KD shipments. Craptastic because i kept holding stuff outside of the view of the camera.

They're meant to be up on build.kingdomdeath.com as noted on the sub-box that contains the miniatures. However, the site isn't live yet. The best option we have is just improvising and looking at pictures.

I'm having a similar problem figuring out the pieces especially for the top-covered female adventurer who seems to be in several pieces.

Got my box here in Texas today. I knew it was supposed to be a big box, but damn is it big. I think I'll focus on assembling just the base survivors and the initial monsters, first,

Have to say that it's really lame that the site with the onstructions is not live yet.

I jumped right to the Phoenix, I never would have imagined this level of detail and quality out of a board game. This stuff is insane. I can easily say the Phoenix is a table top show piece. That being said, holy feth me in the poop hole these have so many little pieces AND no indication of where they go. The Phoenix has 30 little hands, and 3 other traily bits and its been 30min alone of "does this go there, no.. try again, Found it! next one, does this go there, no..."

For comparison, this Phoenix is larger than a Games Workshop Blood Thirster.

Australian backers have all just been spammed with emails from a company called Pik Pak Logistics, this is our big box and its shipping today

Yeah, some of this stuff is crazy complex, so those instructions are going to be needed sooner rather than later.

Pik Pak are HQ-ed in VIC, so our VIC backers should be getting them first. I think.

Did they manage to do EU-friendly shipping?

For the big boxes (core game and expansions) I believe they have an EU-friendly shipper. The Wave 1 box, which you now might get second and is the complex orders of single miniatures and extra armor kits, will be coming from the U.S.

So not entirely EU friendly, but dramatically more so than they were thinking it was going to be earlier.

I got my wave 1 stuff without any customs charges, which was a pleasant surprise because the last orders of the resins I made direct from KD did get charged (and subsequently made it too expensive to get )

Adam did make oblique references that the declared value of the wave 1 packages would reflect that the focus of the campaign, and thus your pledge, was on the big boxes in the expansion while the extra money KD themselves put in with the delays went towards those small rewards. However, I think that's a "the first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club" thing.

You, me outside now!

£6.49 custom charges and £8 waa- waa-we-don't-like-competition-but-we-fleece-you-as-soon-as-we-have-a-monopoly charge from Royal Mail

I dodged a bullet then!

Perhaps I had less than you? I just had the t-shirt, white speaker, nico, kara and candy & cola - so maybe it was small enough that they didn't realise the opportunity to screw me was there

Very glad the main box is coming from inside the EU

Could be, I had 8 or 9 models in my wave 1, plus 50 skull base inserts and t-shirt.

Regretting not getting a few more of the base inserts. Hope they're avail again. Doh.

I'm annoyed with myself that I based the PU Collection normally, completely forgetting the base inserts coming in the KS, hopefully there are 8 spares in the 50 and I can rebase them

I received my core box but im still pretty annoyed honestly. No tracking from UPS who passed the delivery down to OnTrac. When I contacted them with my name and address they told me they had no information in regards to a package being delivered there. It showed up the following day. I feel I dodged a bullet.. For a game valued at $400 I really didnt feel comfortable with how shipping was handled.

Otherwise the models are amazing, game looks like it should be fun. Hope to play this weekend.

@Chopxsticks - that may be an OnTrac issue, and I wonder what the experience is for others in their coverage area. My game box was poorly packaged in a thin skin of cardboard, cut down from a double core shipper. It got a little beat up, and the vacuum-formed organizer tray was cracked in several places.

My cardboard was stamped with a Kingdom Death Surviver Pledge logo, box looked like it was custom made for this size. Hot damn though I cant express how nice these models are. Assembled a Kingsman model, this is not a board game!! This is something else entirely.

I think im going to make my own bases, I dont particularly like the face bases. I will make some mold copies and break them up and make some custom bases.

My box (both shipping and game) had minor damage from OnTrac shipping, but not really worse than I've seen from any of the other carriers. If I was buying it retail it would really annoy me, but I unfortunately have learned to accept it from mail order.

The shipping box mine came was clearly custom made to fit, as it even said Kingdom Death Survivor-something on the side. That did mean there was no padding to protect the game box inside, but fortunately it didn't suffer even one bit of damage to a corner. By some sheer miracle, mine must have been the one box that somehow slipped past all the UPS handlers without getting dropped even once.

Mine thankfully was ok. its got some crease lines ontop where you can tell other boxes had sat on it. I took a photo of this box with my 2 year old laying next to it. Its Huge!! Like you dont really believe it when you read the dimensions online... now if I could just get time to play a game

From the reports, it looks like I got the short end of the stick. :(
