any brave soul wanna start a new thread for this kickstarter and keep it updated?

I asked if there was any more scenery coming, and if it'd be able to purchase those bits separately. They plead the fifth, but hopefully that keeps them aware people are interested. Given they mentioned being able to buy extras of things included in the main tier, I imagine it'll be possible, but figured it was worth mentioning to them and passing along.

I really don't need hundreds of figures these days, already have over 300 coming from Robotech as it is, but some cost effective scenery stuff to flesh out my Dwarven Forge sets wouldn't go awry either.

So glad the US government has shut down, collapsed their unstable economy and the dollar is in freefall... it makes this KS much cheaper to back for us overseas folk.

Exchange rate was £67 for $100 a few days ago, it's now £62 and probably going to fall further.

It's only, what, the 17th time it's happened in the last 35 years? And no useful agency is actually shut down. It's meaningless.

I wonder if there will be a large number of people who pledge under two identities. Once for a basic $100 pledge, and another for a $1 pledge to add on the extras. That way if Reaper ships out like they did for Bones the First, people will get their $100 early and just wait for the extras.

The minor and greater demons are really going for GW's throat.

500k hit and the Gelatinous Cube is IN!!

CUBE IS GO!

Well there is $10 more dollars I need for me to make up with taking the gf out.. lol..

Grrr... stupid phone took ages so the last of wave 2 had gone by the time i got through the amazon payments. Have to settle for wave 3 i guess... not that i expect overseas stuff to be much of a priority compared to us backers anyway

should hit 5,000 backers by the next stretch goal

Yeah its going crazy fast.. lol.. We will have 112 figures in about 15 mins at the most lol..

If the large water elemental looks half as good as the fire did... I may be adding a gak-load later on. I wonder if they'll include more giants, and when they'll show up?

I'm wondering if they'll do more Chronoscope figures. Maybe they'll hold off on that till later.

Hmm...Savage Worlds figures. These kind of fit the Chronoscope vibe...

I am interested on it, how ever i would not commit money to it with out a single picture. Dont know if there is anything in there i would like.

Also, since it looks like the value is still going to be there for this Bones KS, I think they'll beat the last one in total money and backers. I'll say over 20K backers and over $5 million raised.

The main pic keeps going down, refresh after a few minutes and you'll see it.

Were there any disappointing releases with the first Bones KS? I was pretty happy with the Vampire box I got.

I like that they have limited the number of vampire backers. Shows that they learned an important lesson that many kickstarters should learn. Sure the massive numbers look good but hitting that early promised shipping date when your numbers have ballooned a thousand percent is almost an impossibility, having the tiers being waves and a limited overall number will help make hitting those goals a more likely possibility.

They aren't limiting the Vampire backers. They're just setting a rolling release schedule.

Unless I've missed something each of the vampire tiers is limited to 2000 backers with an additional $1 tier for those just getting add-ons.

each shipping group is limited to 2000, as a group nears sell out, they add a new shipping wave with a later date

Guaranteed they will add additional ones with later shipping waves.

We are sitting at 120 figs for the current $100 dollars.. Making them $0.83 each..

Thanks for all the answers on the add-ons (hopefully to be included as options at the end) guys

ooo Hill Giants... not as cool as the Frost/Fire/Storm giants from Bones1, but still cool to have. 600k and beyond!

Wow, $634K to get giants and next stretch is $750K. That's $116K to get the next stretch goal. Things are going to unlock slower now.

Nevermind, looks like that was a typo on their part. Only need to get to $672K

$672k is the Sylvan creatures stretch goal.

I like the hill giants better than the Bones1 giants. Much more general purpose.

The lack of pictures in here... so disappointing.

I, of course, blame timd.

I am using the Bones 1 giants as gods. The Hill giants just don't work for that. Maybe as Titans or proto-gods... Are they the same size as the Bones 1 giants? They look bigger.
