4 times the funding goal already. Woah.

Mind you, a lot of that must be people grabbing early birds on spec, because no-one could have read and decided on a level in 10 minutes.

Off to sulk as KS crashed out on me while pledging so no earl bird for me

not impressed

2nd Lieutenant early bird level is up now!

looks like their adding earlybird tiers

Aye, grabbed a early bird General straight away, I want to make a couple of forces from this lot.

Got a colonel box

they need more stretch goals posted already.

Hrm...no lower-end pledge for just a heroine and a single 10 woman squad. Granted, $23 shipping probably makes it silly to go in that low anyway.

Might have to pass and try to pick up some stuff at retail.

Maybe it's me, but I can't seem to find the stretch goals on this one. Also, the minis I want seem to still be locked away at undetermined stretch levels.

Early bird general, yay!

You better be participating in the DCM hobby spending thread.

Not feelin it.

I dunno what Tann does for work but I want his job, got one of the second LT early bird boxes.

It looks like the medic mini is only available from $345+?

2nd round for Lieutenant early birds are gone as well.

Not much savings to the bundles over add-ons unless you go in REAL heavy. Col. level is $790 of stuff for $715/745, but Major and below you're pretty much paying value + $15. (Of course, I assume stretch goals and what not will improve the value.)

Well it let me back for the 2nd Lieutenant level and too my pledge,

but it does not seem to have registered on KS

Heh...they put up an early bird commander pledge level at $120 more than commander accidentally and someone pledged to it.

Decided to pledge for $40 for now, though I can always add to that one instead of jumping levels.

$17,000


$22,000


$25,000

Well, I'm in for an EB $345.

Is it too early to threaten to pull my pledge?

Yeah I'm in at early commander which is giving me about $240 worth of stuff for $250 (UK postage). Maybe the stretch goals will nudge it in my favour, but it's still a reasonable discount versus RRP.

Bummer all the early birds are gone.

Well i suppose they are still reeling from the shock, now 6 times the amount.

I'd wait a few days, for the spirit of it.

Yes, give it ten more minutes Az, word on the Herald comm nets is that they're scrambling to get the rest of the stretch goals up. I'm already probably boosting my pledge by one or two more heroes, two more squads of grunts and two squads and a command squad of heavy grunts.

I assumed they meant it was a captain level instead of commander.

Started watching the video at $60k. When it was done they were on $80k. Ouch.

With the mad rush to get an early bird, people were just grabbing whatever is available and roughly fit their budget. I'm assuming that stretch goals will make them better value than a slight RRP discount. And if they don't, it's easy enough to just...

So we're nearly at $90k... I guess those first few Stretch Goals were kinda meaningless? $17k? I think it had that much a few seconds in! LOL!

Early birds were gone before page loaded. Now I guess I'll wait to pledge. Yay

Here's hoping I can add dosh to my $40 pledge for some extra minis, don't want to pledge $95 just so I got to pay for a mini I don't want.
