That $5 discount is because he's doing bulk sales from a pallet, vs individual sales with shipping & receiving. Administratively, it's probably more efficient for him than charging the $5 and dealing with the pick & pack for 1s & 2s per mail order customer.

A single-day pass at Gencon is $50+, so that's the delta on 10 items right there. If you're local, great. If you're flying/driving, and getting a hotel, waiting to buy is cheaper.

The store now has the gencon stuff up

(note ordering stock from a warehouse outside your region will add $100 to your shipping bill so if they've run out you may want to wait till the inevitable restock)

Fade is currently missing I can't complete the order until they fix that. The new minis can only be ordered from the US warehouse

and here's the post gencon newsletter & KS update

Drat I really, really wanted her

(I hope there's stock on the way the the EU and AUS warehouses if the current US only is deliberate as I'm happy to wait as I cant afford the extra cost hit)

sigh 200$ plus another 100$ for shipping and unknown custom tax....

Yeah, shipping prices are outrageous.

I added the new plastic bundle to my cart ($200?? I must be out of my mind) and the old plastic bundle, along with a t-shirt.

Shipping came to $66.

$66??????

I removed the old plastic set and the t-shirt, shipping then became a slightly less ball-bustingly absurd $43.

I pulled the trigger, then had instant buyer's remorse.

The OP current has something about Kingdom Death Quest, a mass-market game with PVC minis.

Is there any more information on this anywhere, or is this brand new info?

Thanks!

Order complete - 6 new minis shipping was $29. Fade can be ordered. The order button is hidden but if you move the mouse around the cursor will change to a hand when you hover over the (hidden) add to cart button.

VAT might add another €37 to the order :(

EDIT: Fade is now totally gone they must be fixing it.

Maybe I'm totally wrong, but it's looking like the high shipping prices is a way to increase the profit margins?

Hopefully my American cousins can educate me, does it realy cost £66 to post some plastic figures and a t-shirt to Europe?

I've got a lot of good will towards Poots, but no-one likes to be bent over and taken advantage of.

Shipping from the US to ROW has certainly gone up considerably over the last few years, but nothing we can do about it except buy stuff elsewhere whenever possible.

probably less to make more money, but more to keep the paperwork and time needed to do the international shipping all over the planet from flooding the US office (which I think is still basically the development crew too)

since he now has warehouses elsewhere Adam will want the relevant people to use them

If he wanted me to order from the EU warehouse he would surely put some stock in said warehouse

Maybe it takes time and money to move items from the US to EU / other warehouses...

Yeah, I'm sure it does.

But all of the leftover gencon stock was/is being sold off from the main US warehouse so I'm not sure what point you are trying to make?

Unless there is some earlier info that I missed?

That says something when you have no qualms with dropping that kind of cash sight unseen on little plastic figures.

Well I guess not really sight unseen, as most of of us have scoped them out already.

Happy to have gotten both boxes of pinups. I had regretted not getting the pinups of death at all previous opportunities.

I think Fade and the Order Knight are probably my favorite of the new bunch.

Having a plastic Warrior of the Sun has put my resin one on indefinite hold sadly.

I have slight angst at paying a few bucks more for expansions when they were available earlier, but then I consider how much less I paid overall, and I'm good with it.

If you haven't already gotten the various expansions, saving ~20% via the post-Gencon sale is a great time to get them!

So, I haven't been following that closely and this might be a silly question, but the board game that the Kickstarter was for, will that ever be released properly?

These LE models only being available in the US warehouse is going to end up pissing off a lot of people.... No way am I ordering with those shipping fees + custom charges on top.

You're asking whether the $400 MSRP Kickstarter version of Kingdom Death : Monster was released properly to non-backers?

As far as I'm concerned, it was.

I mean, you weren't expecting to find boxes of KD:M at Toys R Us at a $500 retail price point, were you?

No, that's not what I mean. I mean will it be available on the webstore.

The game is getting a reprint, but that's all that's known.

I'm sure as details surface they'll end up on all corners of the web, Dakka included.

Did anyone notice this?



They're sold out but I didn't see them in the newsletter and weren't available on the site when I placed my order earlier. Just noticed them by chance because I went back to see what exactly was in the new $200 pinup set.

Oh, if that's the question, then, yes, the Kickstarter edition of KD:M was available on the KD:M webstore for a while. I saw it up there at one point. It has since been sold out for months now, much to many people's surprise.

Adam has announced that there will be some sort of encore production of KD:M, although he has not yet specified what, exactly, it will be. Aside from including an improved rulebook.

Personally, I suspect that he will repackage it as a less expensive, smaller, easier-to-ship product, with an optional hardback rulebook. The gameboard will likely have another fold in it, and he should probably move some of the monsters and/or extra content to separate expansions.

It reminds me that the thing I want most from my KD:M pledge is the digital art book - which seems like would be the EASIEST thing in the world to fulfill, but somehow we still don't have it.

I've got a lot of good will towards Poots, but no-one likes to be bent over and taken advantage of.

Trying to ship a small 2"x4" box of bits to the UK was going to cost me $100 talking to Fedex or UPS apparently, but it was supposedly going to arrive in a few days. Cheapest flat-rate box I've found to UK was USPS at $33.

Probably depends on what carrier he's going to use.

Thanks!

It's from around last December I think- don't remember exactly when. No other info about it, other than Poots is hoping he can do it someday.

You're totally wrong.

It would definitely cost $66 USD to ship a few figures and T-shirt to the UK.

I'm pretty sure Adam doesn't want to be taken advantage of, which is why he's passing the actual $66 USD cost through.

Yeah, I recall him posting somewhere that they had gotten over 5000 messages regarding "missing items" for KD:M shipments, hence the shift in shipping costs a number of months ago to more trackable methods.

To be fair, 5,000 messages could easily have been the Spidicules leg issues alone.

Wow, other US companies that are able to ship items to me of a similar weight and size for a fraction of the cost being charged here must be using some kind of super-secret teleportation method that Poots doesn't have access to

Anyway, I don't think it's been mentioned yet but there will be an announcement regarding the Lantern Festival in September, I'm guessing we may have to pay shipping for that too, but who knows? It may be good news.

***EDIT**** Wait, I entirely forgot, Poots himself must have found one of the secret cheaper methods of posting because my shipping was reduced to approx $40 when I eventually placed my reduced order!

Just so long as this shipping fee is announced in advance and not shoved down our throats like the last one.
