I'm a little surprised no one has let the actual link slip yet, given we're over a third of the way through the 72 hour release window and could expect ~1000 people to have been given access.

When asked to not give something away because it could have an adverse effect on everyone's experience down the line, I'll do as asked. I imagine by the end of the weekend everyone will have invites.

The PM closes on the 15th of June, so there's a few weeks to allow people the flexibility to manage their pledge without feeling rushed.

I'd rather not see it "leak" and "get out" because that could create a backlash that could, well.. Set things back even further I suppose.

If so, you'd think the RH apologists would be among the first.

However, I've yet to get my invite.

Well, unless they're hosting it on an old 486 hanging off a dialup line, I can't see how sending out the details to everyone would have a detrimental impact on people trying to use it.

The only impact it could have, is if RH were inundated with questions that they had to sort out answers to. Staggering the release like this might appear to mitigate that, but then so would putting out a detailed and helpful update.

I got mine and have no idea what to do. I really would rather have resin that I can imperialize, but I assume I won't have time to do that, with kids, job and the house, that I'm going to get within these next 20 years.



Decisions, decisions. I suppose that's also a way to sell the pledge, just sell the webstore credentials..

Also it seems I have 420$ store credit, I don't even remember. That means so much crap, oh dear.

Well I got mine, I guess I should check it.

I wonder if all the sculpts will be finalised by the 15th of june. Since they told us that our choices will not be locked in until they are.

I wonder if they'll also have decided which models will be in which wave (or even how many waves there'll be). Since without this information, I cannot complete the pledge manager.

Oooh, right for those who already have access to it: Is that live chat function present?

Dunno, couldn't be bothered to try it out. It's down there in the bottom right corner though.

Interesting. Though from the feedback I've seen both here and in the comments, the actual PM is clunky but easy enough to understand.

Yes but I'm a traitor from the ranks of the commissariat

Ahhh, one of us now eh?

Well, I still think you were nowhere near as verbal as some of us.

I got a link but I haven't had the chance to do anything. I need to work up an IG list and a SoB list before I can know what to get and what to ignore.

Just remember, the clock is ticking!

Aye it was just slow tbh... but nothing too bad, Its got one of those systems where you put it in the basket and it then takes you back to that figure, so you need to click on the faction list again, have it load, pick the next one.. rinse and repeat. For the amount I had to select.. it took some time.

BrookM: remember you weren't one of those turn coats who could badmouth them in both languages. There is a special place in hell for me. Mold slippage and flash, here I come!

...as soon as I get the PM invite.

Any minute now.

Here's the thing, their statements during the campaign (which I quoted above) are material. There is no wiggle room in "your choices will NOT be locked-in. You will make your final choices once the sculpts are finalised[sic]."

Not having the pledge manager yet, I can't say whether they are meeting this requirement or not, but failing to do so would be a) ethically and legally problematic, and b) par for the course, in all honesty.

That said, the biggest problem I foresee is having people add their free items themselves. The amount of work they are inviting upon themselves with that is simply mind-blowing. People not realizing they needed to do so, people not realizing which wave what comes in, people attempting to get credit for items and tying up the chat line... another innovation really.

Still no email or PM here. I pledged via their website, so I'll probably be one of the last. Then it's a matter of looking at four different items that were pushed back a year from their alleged release date and deciding which is least likely to suffer from crippling damage caused by idiotic posing.

As far as I can see, your choices are locked in. There is no wiggle room for sculpts that don't exist yet. Submit once, that's it.

Still nothing. Boo-ing the hoo right about now.

Chances are they'll send out a batch today and save the rest for after the weekend.

Well, I just asked them about this. Although I do not expect any answer on my "snarky remark", that does not appreciate the genius of the wave shipping strategy.

I guess that puts you right at the bottom with the other malcontents I suppose.

This made me sigh, then laugh.

It's not just the malcontents

I pledged in the first 5 mins,
am right at the start at the alphabet,
and haven't gone over to the dark side like you 'monsters

and still no invite for me either


I suspect they're making the invites a special art production too with strange and mysterious rules

Le (or is it La) Sigh

Looks like the sins of the few have become the sins of Dakka as a whole.

Yeah...

A thing I wondered about:
They released sooo many updates talking about the PM.. but when it is finally out.. they say absolutely nothing O_o?

Because that's how they roll obv.

Though it may have been to avoid any backlash over the staggered access to the site.

Yes, because nothing soothes the masses like having to figure that one out on your own, with no obvious clue about who gets invited when.

...or a three sentence update. 1-We're opening it. 2-It's going to be staggered invite so as not to overload it. 3-Everyone should be invited by date X.

"Who shall we grant access today?"

Back on form Brook.
