Those new heroes with the removable bases are an interesting idea.

I wonder if they're going to just use basic slotta tabs. Might be able to stick any old figure on there. Maybe we'll see more bases available later on as well.

I'm already quite happy with the base pledge and this is just barely getting started!

this will break 1 mil by dinner time, midnight at the latest.

I'm in for now, but I WILL cancel my pledge if we don't see solid international shipping info with cushioning. I see no reason why I should subsidize shipping for american backers.

You're not; you're paying what it'll cost to ship to your country, so they don't need to provide a single ROW shipping cost. Maybe they'll provide a few tiers of shipping as well so you can chose whatever level you feel provides the best value. I think they also underestimated the shipping cost last time and got burned pretty badly.

US shipping is free, that means the cost of it is spread amongst all backers. I pay actual cost for my own shipping and part of the cost for the free US shipping that I do not benefit form.

Not necessarily. US Shipping is factored into US pledges. International shipping is partially factored into the International pledges. You are likely paying the difference between that and the actual cost.

If they aren't doing it that way, they are idiots. They don't strike me as idiots.

But hey, I don't know for sure.

As of now we only have the "International Customers will pay Actual Shipping costs." to go by, which seems to indicate that International shipping is not subsidized. But they will probably explain it better when this has cooled down a bit.

That's pretty sneaky Alpharius... Renaming the thread instead of making a new one. Living up to your handle I see...

I'm not even seeing the updates/stretch goals on the KS page, so could not update the OP even if I wanted to.

Tim

I live to serve, and aim to please!

I'm curious about this, as its not an option in the Kickstarter backend...

I'm thinking the Kickstarter e-mail system might have choked.

Even ignoring the "what is factored, whom is subsidizing whom" aspect of international S&H, the fact that it's basically " vOv " for how much it will be makes me very skittish. Yes the $100 tier is obviously a massive and incredible value in figures, but it it ends up being a ten or twenty pound box of plastic and packaging that needs a small crate to ship, costs $100 in S&H and another $100 at the boarder, that's an issue.

As long as it's an unknown, I don't think it's unreasonable for international backers to feel skittish. The higher the total goes, the more figures we get and the bigger/heavier the box becomes, the higher the risk that we'll get dinged heavily at least once, if not twice. That's a pretty reasonable consideration, imo.

Depending on what they have saved for goals a couple million down the line, the final guess might end up just being pure speculation. Obviously we're tearing through goals left and right now, and while all projects generally slow down in the middle, I'm sure that at the end it'll be fast and furious once more. Unless they're a bunch of awesome but small/light things, who knows how it could all blow up?

So I went with $1. Might snag some paints ($20 plus S&H for 12 paints seems like it'll be a good value, assuming said S&H isn't too high), and I'm hoping some dungeon setting stuff can be separated out as an add on, as that's what has really caught my eye so far.

Kickstarter's Email Server: "You want to send WHAT to WHOM??"

If these skeletons, ratmen and beastmen are going to be offerred, after the end of the campaign, as unit boxes by their shop, I see some competitors to feel a bit uncomfortable...

whatever it is im greatful to not get a million ks emails today, unless they are just queuing up and ill get spammed later

I'm expecting some email vomit later today.

Loving all of these minis so far, a lot of them are going to be extremely useful for making a Kings of War Nature army (which is basically filled with a variety of assorted wilderness beasties).

The skeletons, beastmen and ratmen are definitely smart moves.

If they release a witch elves set in bones that would be nuts!

Woo! I got one of the early bird slots thanks to Dakka reminding me this started today. Yay for you all!

It's already gotten pretty crazy but this should be a fun ride.

I fear that is what might happen.

My phone app hasn't dinged either.

Im starting to get old updates in my email so it looks like KS email server was just choked

I"m getting a bunch of emails all of a sudden from Kickstarter...

Well im starting to get update emails. But i think i can taste the servers tears....

I think it's the whole system. I still haven't gotten the last Mierce email update.

distance between stretch goals was 25,000 and now it's 33,000 :(

I know it will slow down, but as of right now Kicktraq has this trending towards $7,865,182

If the Reaper KS sent you...15 emails today, would it really be that big a deal?

I know I would actually like to get these emails, to see what's unlocked, and what's pending, since there seems to be a shocking lack of said pics in this thread!

ahhhhhh crap. Just couldn't resist. I last all this time though. Kept promising myself I don't need it I don't need it I don't need I don't .... oh how did I end up on this page authorizing a payment. Damn it.

It'll be interesting to see if this reaches my $10 million prediction.

Already it has smashed the crap out of Zombicide II in terms of its opening day. $1mil on day 1 is looking like it is very much on-track.

@OP - Can we get a text breakdown of all the stuff in this Kickstarter? I'm having trouble even counting how many minis I'm getting right now .

Bet they'd make $12 million if they made a Firefly crew!

You predict 10 Million for this one?!?

Where?

Here, just now?

Wow!

I'd say between $3M and $5M - if I was predicting, of course...

People keep mentioning this, but amazingly as this campaign is doing (and will continue to do), trying to extrapolate nearly 4 weeks of data off an hour or two is absolutely meaningless.

No offense, and yes you do recognize that it will slow down, but people throwing out KT numbers even as funny asides can make people get a little funny in campaigns. Like the sky is suddenly falling because it's 'only' trending towards "$Texas" instead of "$DeathStar" when a day rolls over.

Anyway, I hope the scenery pieces become available as an add on. Similar to the pain, assuming a reasonable S&H fee, I could totally see grabbing a pack to improve my tables.

I'm doubtful it'll get that high. Willing to bet your scenery pieces on that? :-P

I love to have a guess before a KS launches and see how close I get!

based on a quick count the core set is sitting on around a 100 models with a margin of error of 1-5

This is exactly what I was thinking - how can I use these in a KOW army. Forces of Nature should work well...

Stretches are $29,000 right now.

101 is current model count..
