that's pretty funny some people just want the billboards, others just want the BBQ stands =) The issue is that there is no room in the frame for a 3rd BBQ stand and we are running out of time for me to add something else to it before the kickstarter ends.

The good news is that you can just flip the billboard and have a blank face on it to put what ever you want on it.

I've managed to resist the urge so far, but it's getting really difficult.

Any chance of lazered acrylics? Don't even have to be new designs: just doors and windows of preexisting designs, or force-fields. *cough cough*halo-esque hard-light bridge *cough hack wheeze cough*

It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from.

Click the link that says "I'm in the US". Doesn't do anything aside from getting around the extra shipping charges.

Actually, it occured to me looking at the scaffolding, that some ramps or stairs for the ends would be nice.

but hey, just a suggestion, i know you said you're not going to be doing anything more, but.... maybe... just maybe..

At this point, WYSIWYG on the kickstarter, tomorrow is clean up day and I will have enough time to add a few left over items like the fantasy doors, some medieval arches, billboards and some new scatter terrain, as for acrylics we'll have to wait till the retail store opens, could not nail down an acrylic supplier in time for the run

Laser bridge... awesome idea hopefully by Octoberish when the web store opens.

IF you are from Canada and want the discount, then donate 50 bucks + 50 bucks shipping, then when the survey hits make sure you send me a message that you want the Canadian upgrade and I'll give you the 12 options for Delta.

Alright I added a pledge level for Canadians only 100 dollars with no shipping included for 12 items to keep
it simple
IF YOU ARE NOT FROM CANADA DO NOT PLEDGE THERE.

Also added a final 24 hour 96 dollar pledge Delta, its the same as the 100 dollar pledge level just 4 dollars cheaper

I'm off to work, last update with new stuff is tonight

Thanks to everyone that helped out, you guys did great.

ohh and October is just a "worst case" scenario shipping date, as soon as the money clears amazon I'll start shipping(T think it takes 3 weeks) , working my way up from the largest pledges on down. I'm pretty sure I can burn an Omega level in 4 days and beta levels in 1 hour or so

I should finish shipping by July/August

I'm hoping that Mantic provides information on how expensive their terrain is going to be before the survey for this goes out. Right now I'm not sure if I'll want to use this for Infinity terrain, or more of a zone mortalis type board.

Been following this since day 1, but I was hesitant because of price.

With the Red Light Special 12 choices, plus freebie billboard, for $96, and option 209 giving you a free walk way selection, I just couldn't resist.

I myself am torn. I can't see how well 40mm bases work with this. The guy running the KS from the uk has amaaaaaaaazing stuff, but I'm not ready to blow my entire. $750 tax refund on a space hulk set. If I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that 40mm could walk down a tight hallway that's ~~1 inch across + some space, I'd be har d pressed not to splurge $200 here. I see that one daemon figure in that one pic, but I don't know the model so I'm not sure if the scale is quite right for space hulk

Have you tried asking the guy running the kickstarter about it ?

Just looked at the descriptions, I don't see anything smaller than 3" (Walls,walkways,etc..) so that's 76mm minus the width (3mm) of the material, so 70mm at a tight spot ?

I was hoping to do a space hulk set for this kickstarter but we just ran out of time, as far as using the Underground laser stuff to play spacehulk I would wait till I come out with a set proper for it (that's right I'm telling some one not to buy my stuff) It can be done but will not look right. I have some great stuff on the works for it that will show up in my webstore once it opens late August

The web store will not open till every one in the Kickstarter gets shipped out, you guys get 100% of my laser time till done

I really wish I had been able to contribute more. I only got in at $10 :( Unfortunately now is not a good time financially. Unless you're willing to do any paypal pledge bumps over the next couple of weeks

Oh well, I do look forward to the 2 cargo containers I was able to pledge for.

Good luck in your endeavors, and I will definitely be picking up some more stuff in the future.

well considering that I'll start shipping the lower levels first and working my way up the ladder starting next week you might not get a chance at paypal =)

So you'll be shipping them as you produce them, instead of waiting until Ocotober ?

Oops. I thought you were starting high and going low. So much for my clever plan to add in an extra $10 to bump myself up the shipping schedule

well I figured I knock out 20 people in the first week or so to start clearing out my inbox. if I start high Omega levels will take about 6 - 7 days each unless they go blanks those actually go way faster.

Been busy the last 3 days doing some small dimension changes to the containers to make sure the dimensions are exactly 2 X 5 X 2 from edge to edge so they can be used on the grid of the dead zone kickstarter

The containers where actually 1/8th of an inch to short =)
