Well, it does look like the warcasters are going to be $20.....which, I have to admit, seems a bit high, especially on a KS.

I assume its because they are limited runs, so the molds will get less use, and so they need to charge more per unit to make up the difference? But still... seems rather high. What did the Druid Gone Wilder sell for?

Somebody pointed out on the PP boards that Gastone is Italian.

Personally I lean more towards him being Ordic.

Yes, but the images all show "+20$" which usually means that if you wan't to get those extra models you'll have to add +20$ on top of your pledge.

What really matters is that he's roughly the size of a baaaaaaaaaarge.

Read the images again. They all say "Or pledge at X levels".

and?
"if you pledge XYZ, we'll give you a kickstarter only limited ed. high 5 for an additional $20"
"WHAT $20 FOR A HIGH 5 I DONT CARE IF YOU'RE TRYING TO FUND SOMETHING THATS A RIPOFF AND I DONT WANT TO WAIT FOR THE REGULAR MODEL EITHER I WANT THE SPECIAL ONE YOU PROBABLY WONT RECOUP COSTS FOR, CAUSE I'M WORTH IT!"

Kind of off topic question, but why do Cygnarians tend to have red hair...or is it just the two?

Can't wait!

So far, just the two: this one and Stryker.

I don't quite get your all caps little rant there at the end, I simply said I was a bit surprised.

IIRC, Druid Gone Wilder was....$16? You can get the Kilt Lifter on their website now for $15.

It just means for me, if they are in fact $20, that I won't be getting all of them. I'll probably just get the Cygnar one and maybe another. If they were, say, less than $15 a piece (and for a KS exclusive, I think $12 would have been a good price), I'd have been more inclined to get all of them, just because.

Ups, hadn't noticed that part!

Limited run+being a character+the coin and limited card version+Shipping. $20 is about right for the cost when compared to other single model character costs.

Black hair, my bad

Trying to make a little beyond production costs =/= trying to fully fund an expensive project with profits
if you dont like it wait for the "real" models is a fully acceptable option.

Casually F5ing the 'Recently Launched' page... still no known start time, right?

Whoops, meant Coleman.

Y'know, the ginger poster boy uber-dick-sue.

Well, you did a very poor job making your point. Getting all caps-locky doesn't help, either.

And you apparently stopped reading my comment at the Kilt Lifter price (which, like the Druid Gone Wilder, is ALSO a limited run model, so it's a valid comparison) because I said I'm still going to purchase, at the very least, the Cygnar model. I simply noted that were they less, their chances of getting MORE money from me would have increased.

Well, Privateer doesn't "officially" open for another half hour, so I'd imagine we'll see this launch around 12 or 1 EST.

Which one of those were created to directly fund a video game and weren't just limited run models again?

To be fair I guessed 9-10pst so I could still be right Got another 27 minutes till my low estimate

Urk, I'll give them an hour and then flee to my warm warm bed. They better not have any early bird stuff or I'll be a grumpy Aussie.

And Hulk, I refuse to be fair, as is my right as a random person on the internet...but I do hope your guess is correct

Their Insider typically go up around midday Pacific time, which works out as 8pm British time.

Though we'll see.

I'll most likely get the Ret mini. I just hope they fix the hair, it just look off to me.

Considering that PP is an entertainment company, there's very little chance anything big gets announced before noon PST.

Only if it's an unsuccessful entertainment company

The problem with sitting on the recently launched page and refreshing it every so often, you hit things like this http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1567917619/my-little-po-mo-volume-one-season-one?ref=recently_launched

Come on PP

Ah I have to give up, I need to be up in 4 or 5 hours and actually functioning. Dammit, at least it will be waiting for me on the morr-...later this morning

Maybe they're still waiting on approval / anounced too early? It's happened (to other campaigns) before!

They'll probably start it midday Pacific time, thats the time they typically put up their Insiders.

Ohhh, it's been July 10th for hours and it's still not live yet!!
