I really hope the PM allows some upgrades as well!

Just really, really bad timing for me no way I can be as committed as I would like to be by the end of the KS run

Assuming it will remain a 200$ cost with the stuff included I am not sure 2 years down the line it will cost only 200$.

Yeah, that occurred to me as well. When the update first dropped, I skimmed over the price and went straight to the contents. When I scrolled back up to check the price, I was shocked that it wasn't at least $200. I'd imagine an expansion of that size, with so many monsters, including a Dragon King-sized one, to be at least $300 at retail. Poots' estimate seems a little optimistic to me.

On the bright side, he's got enough money to cover it. : P



I can see it viable for the KS probably been at cost or slightly above cost, given some of the contents are already tooled, but outside the KS? I can see it rise easily.

What has Poots done to me, I'm going to have to ebay off some of the 40k I never touch anymore as I'm in at Satan plus the three crossovers that aren't included, totally don't need the two extra t-shirts as well right?

Just so long as he doesn't add another crossover I might just get to keep my man parts when the charge appears on the credit card.

Well, My final pledge is in at this point. I don't think I will be awake over the next 9 hours, so I hope I was able to cover everything.

I am hoping there is nothing big after Abyssal Woods!

I was wondering about that as it seemed like there was an odd number left? I'm surprised he wouldn't want them available for people to up to at the end? Still 9 hours to go!

He also slightly duped a lot of people promising an "all things gameplay, slightly discounted" pledge earlier, and then apparently just forgetting about it when it was clear $2000 pledges were still moving quickly.

I'm in, God help me, for $2k, but his enthusiasm oscillates between "infectious" and "I don't trust you".

Wow

The only time I spent that much on a KS was for the Form 1 3d printer, and in looking back I think it was a bit of madness that I took the risk . It worked out well for the most part, but there were so many other similar campaigns that didn't...

I think his tiered delivery schedule is really going to help, along with the fact that none of that is included in the amount pledged now (man - if shipping wave costs were included, can you imagine what the total would be now!?).

I doubt he overstreched but he likes to min/max his profits like a good capitalist RPG fan. Plus he has now ensured a fortune when he opens the pledge manager.

Just doing the quick math based on the sprues and I reckon he is going to clear an easy 5mil profit after costs and before tax etc.

Like GW he is selling cheap mass produced plastic at the price of boutique resin, his per unit cost is pennies. If your cynical like myself and assume that everything he has unveiled since he doubled his funding goal in a few hours was unlocked in those first few hours and then dribbled out for the rest of the campagin to maximise profits he is laughing all the way to the bank.

As such I am not surprised that he has purged another set of pledges.

Your last point is especially laughable and comical, because not only the 7th ed Valkyrie shown dumber things (like being able to throw the troopers without parachutes out of its hatches, no harm done) - Irbis

It's the programming labor costs for the video games that drive the price, of course... not the cost of the CD itself!

He's added so much stuff since the God Frogdog pledge he's no longer confident with the margin on them,

hence the extras have been pulled and a new more expensive pledge level appears

(Percival is a sculpt from the KD store that ties in with the Black Knight

People buying Percival's Lantern are paying almost a grand more than Satan's Lantern for the same stuff (well, 1 extra mini and a dice set, woooo...)

And people thought the Shadows of Brimstone Minecart situation was bad...

Yeah, it looks like pure greed motivated Adam with the Perceval pledge.

Only two people have taken it, so it looks like it's not working...

Well you get a lot of stuff, so I'm not saying it's greed, but the price difference is significant...

Yeah... this KD will be a fascinating post-mortem, and a snap-shot of what kind of spending extremes/value propositions people will consider for trendy/boutique items.

Fact is... if my brain was working properly I would remember that I could build two LARGE 40k armies which I might play for the next twenty years, for what the wife and I are throwing at this.

Meanwhile, Percival Lantern has definitely crossed a threshold, by its non-reception, into the realm of people just refusing it outright.

Yes; per Update #35

The Add-On amount for extra Gambler’s Chest is now +$150, with two exceptions. If you have a Black Friday Lantern pledge or a Black Friday Lantern Upgrade Pledge, you may add 1 Gambler’s Chest to your rewards for $100. Thank you in advance for understanding.

One of the significant factors of dropping my pledge was when I realised I could finish 6 of my 40k armies for the same money.

In my opinion if you've waited until the last 12 hours of a kickstarter to pledge you deserve to pay more than people who took a gamble earlier when half the stuff was unknown.

How is it a gamble when you can pull your pledge at any time before the end?

Answer: it's not a gamble!

So am I seeing the sprue right in that there's a "ball" between the miniature piece and the sprue itself? That would make it *much* easier to cut the piece from the sprue! (Cut between the ball and sprue to remove the piece with the ball. Then cut between the ball and piece.)
