They do look smaller than I was expecting for dragons.

My thoughts exactly.

Huh, conspiracy maybe?

Seems like any dragon that started life as a metal mold would likely be small due to expense but it could also be some misrepresentation has occurred.

Wonder what the case will be with Khanjira, Mashaf, the kraken, and similar.

Maybe the casting company "accidentally" hit -10% on the scale to make up for Kaladrax

Should be easy enough to prove. Which one specifically are you talking about and we'll go dig up the scale photo?

BIt of a strange question, and I'm going to guess that the answer is actually 'unknown'

but what's the street date for the bones 2 stuff?

seen some nice minis I wouldn't mind picking up, plus there's the computer terminals I wouldn't mind obtaining for some infinity terrain...

Probably after the first of the year(2015) I'm guessing. It won't be too long after everything is shipped out to backers.

Surely not after CNY 2015 though, right?

Dunno, are they manufacturing only kickstarter backer rewards, or enough for retail as well? I would assume the latter.

Early waves may be delayed, later ones not. Reaper built in padding into the Estimated Delivery Dates (as any project should...).

Looking at it quickly, I would say the Dracolisk, the Tortoise Dragon and Cinder? Cindel? The upright one.

Been a while, but supposedly shipping may begin in 11-35 days.

First January 2015 Update!
Posted by Reaper Miniatures
First of all, Happy New Year to everyone!
Container Update!
In our last Update on December 19th, we announced that our final Containers from China would be arriving in the US on January 11th. We have good news! Up-to-the-hour ship tracking and schedule software confirms that the Container Ship will be arriving in dock today - well ahead of the original schedule!
As a quick "behind the curtain" peek - our original schedule given to us the day the ship was loaded said January 12th, and by the time we posted the Update, this had been revised to January 11th. Late last week, the schedule was revised to say January 10th, and yesterday midday, we were informed that it was moving up again to today. So this has been a very dynamic situation, and this is one reason why giving precise timelines is so difficult!
What does this mean for the Backers?
When do we begin shipping Wave 1, and when will be start shipping Wave 2? Or 3? Etc.
We still have to get the last two Containers (both are on the same ship) from port in California to Dallas - this takes 3-5 days. Then the Customs facility in Dallas must process and clear these Containers, a process which has in the past taken as few as 6 days, or as long as 28 days.
Then, once they are in hand, it will take 2-3 days to sort and organize the 217 different Part Numbers that are a part of this shipment. Given all of that uncertainty, we're looking at having them in hand in a time range as short as 11 days, and as long as 35 days. Which means that right now, we cannot be certain of when we will be able to start Fulfillment. We are however, confident that Fulfillmentwill begin as soon as possible!
Managing your Address
Updates will be posted when we are 24-72 hours from beginning Wave One fulfillment, to give everyone one last warning to update their shipping addresses.
If you do need to change your shipping address, please log in to your Pledge Manager at ks.reapermini.com and you can change it at any time. You do not need to e-mail or message us to change your address. In fact, it is easier for you to change your address than it is for us to change it for you.
If your address is incorrect in our system, and it becomes necessary for us to ship a second package to you, you will be responsible for any additional shipping fees. By contrast, if your address is correct and we must reship the package (basically if it is our error) we will pay postage.
If you are changing the Country, however, you will need to contact us at help@reapermini.com as the system does not allow the Country to be changed without approval.
We are now fielding 50-80 questions a week asking when we are going to begin shipping, and it is our hope that this information helps to answer that question a little better. We are doing everything we can to get organized here so that we can begin fulfillment as soon as possible after the final two containers arrive, including dry runs of the shipping process to test efficiency, system speed, and find improvements before we begin.
It is our intent to make up for these shipping delays by accelerating our shipping timetables and shortening the time it takes to process each Wave.
Who do I contact with my questions?
Well, we're still checking the Comments Tab regularly, although we will not be able to have anybody watching the comments once we begin Fulfillment because anybody who might be watching Comments will instead be helping to ship your rewards to you. So between now and then, you can leave a comment on the Comment Tab, or send us a message directly via the Kickstarter Messaging system, or you can send an e-mail to help@reapermini.com
If you send an e-mail or a Message, please be sure to specify which project you are asking about, and include as much information s you can to help us locate your records - your name, e-mail address, Invoice Number (this will be found on your Pledge Manager) and a description of what we can help you with.
Convention Appearance - PAX South
We will be conducting a Paint and Take event and having a full sales booth at PAX South, January 23-26th in San Antonio, Texas. If you are planning to be there, we would love to meet you and have you join us in the painting of a free miniature! We will be in space D103, ready to have some fun!
We may have some of the Bones II reward models on display but will not have any for sale at the event, nor will be able to pack rewards onto the truck, so it will not be possible to pick up your rewards there.
Update Schedule Change
in our last Update, we mentioned that we would be posting the 2nd January 2015 Update on January 23rd. Because of the PAX event, we cannot guarantee that anybody will have access to this site to post an Update, so we are moving that Update to January 30th. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Of course, if timelines continue to move quickly, we may post updates about shipping and fulfillment times before then, and we promise to interrupt the regular schedule if this happens.
Adventures of Sir Forscale
Sir Forscale has had many grand adventures - traveling through underground caverns, dungeons, been to Heaven and hell, and even found a new world in need of Justice. His adventures are at an end for now - Thank you all for indulging us in a little silly fun while we filled the long months of "no news to report", and we look forward to seeing your Adventures of Sir Forscale when your rewards are in hand!
Thank You,
~Reaper

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Sorry for the bad formatting, I copy/pasted from an email.

Starting to get pretty excited what with being in Wave 1... I've got my Sir Forscale painted up and waiting to measure up the new recruits!

I only got Dragons Don't Share, really regretting not going in big!

Well, you *kind of* did, I think that's the next biggest model after the Worldbreaker. I'm really hoping I enjoy the double expansion 3 I ordered. I had put down for like 2 or 3x dragons don't share I think, and then changed my mind to get 2x expansion 3 and a couple of the big single dudes. I wanted the ruins in triplicate and figured I could sell off the dragons and the extra adventurers were just that, extra. But the scifi set started to look pretty nice too.

I went in for a few things, but I am really looking forward to the retail release of the shooting IMEF Marines and the ...uh...tentacled aliens...I want to call them Basilians but I know that's not right.

But I'm even more excited for the CAV Bones release.

Bathalians or whatever? Yeah, those are cool. I also kind of like the four-armed tentacle-faced marauding aliens. Supposedly you get like 6 of them in the bag instead of the show 3. Kulathi or something. Still trying to decide wtf I'm gonna do with my mini-horde of little grey men though, two sets of expansion 3 is gonna leave me with quite a few of them =/

When the CAV stuff hits shelves I may have to get some of those too. I wasn't interested in backing as I would only want a couple... but I still kind of want to check out those two or three eventually.

I am pretty much in the same boat. I want to get a few tanks and planes for DZC and some mechs for playing with or to convert to 28mm enforcement drones. I didn't pledge for the sci if add ons because I didn't want the greys or the terrain.

I only regret not getting expansion 2, as I really wanted that minotaur lord.

I think I'll get a Sir ForScale to paint up in anticipation. Might actually have my Bones box of goodies in hand by the time I'm done with the knight!

Haha. I got mine back when the campaign was running and just now got to him. I went with black armor and red tabard though, you know, since I'm a snowflake and all of my models have to be too

Yes, curse them for not making him available separately, it's an awesome design, I just didn't want the other miniatures it came with.

You can still pick him up at retail.

Can't remember how!

^Right? When I walk into a store I have to consciously remind myself that the listed prices are what everything costs, as there is no 50% off MSRP sticker anywhere!

Then I get all huffy and think they're charging too much

Oh well, for some of the bones stuff I missed, I may just have to make an exception!

The final shipping container of the Bones II rewards has just arrived at reaper HQ



so this may well start shipping soon

They said Feb 9th in the update.

(Crosses fingers that he's one of the lucky ones to get sent out Friday)

At least I'm in the first wave of shipping!

Lord knows I don't have enough stuff to paint at the moment. I've noticed the unpainted hordes have started to encroach on my wife's side of our worktable. Thankfully she hasn't really noticed. She might notice when some of these new giant figures show up though...

Also, why pay retail when I can get ripped off by scalpers on EBay?

I want that stinkin' minotaur lord. NOW.

I would not mind getting an early shipment either

Hell first wave of shipping is good enough at this point. I go back up to full time in march so I'm barely gonna get a chance to sort my stuff out as it is =/

The update-

The Containers Are Here! Fulfillment is About to Begin!
Posted by Reaper Miniatures
We have received the last containers, and now have all product on hand to begin fulfillment!

Some of the Pallets of Boxes being sorted.
We will be working over the next few days to get everything that just arrived (and everything that has been here) sorted and organized into their proper place to make fulfillment easier. During the next few days, we will also start to work out the bugs and shake out the kinks in our fulfillment process.
This means that we're going to start shipping some Wave One orders over the next few days, training our people and breaking in the software.
Wave One shipping to begin Monday, February 9th.
As stated above, some orders will be shipped sooner, these are the lucky ones whose orders helped us test our logistics and make the system bulletproof.
PLEASE be sure your address is correct before Thursday, February 5, so that we can be confident in shipping any orders that we need to in order to perfect our process.
What about Wave 2? Wave 3? Etc?
We'll be progressing on to each Wave with only a small gap of a few hours to half a day between. This gap is so we can resupply any parts that were sent out, and refill supplies (tape boxes, labels, paper) that ran low. So each successive wave will, for the most part, appear generally seamless from the outside. That is, it will be difficult to spot when Wave 1 ends and Wave 2 begins.
We will not be making daily announcements of progress, or announcing via update when Each Wave begins, so we ask that Waves 2-10 please get their addresses in order as well.
Questions?
If you have any questions, contact us at help@reapermini.com and we'll do everything we can to help you out. You will need to provide us your Order Number, your e-mail address, and tell us that you are asking about Bones II.
Note: we cannot tell you when your package will ship.
Pick Up On Site:
A little less than 60 of our backers have asked to be able to pick theirs up on site. We will be pulling your orders in with your wave, and setting them aside. Bryan will be e-mailing you to notify you when you can come get your package.
We will NOT be doing our Originally Scheduled Update on Friday, February 6th.
Thank you all so much for your patience! We're honored to have been able to work with all of you on this, and we look forward to hearing of your adventures, and seeing your wonderful paint jobs and builds!

I'm going to be fascinated to see if use overseas backers with early wave shipping really get our stuff sent out alongside the US backers

I know that's the plan but I have a horrible feeling stuff will start to go wrong, and then they won't want to delay the local stuff they can ship so things will start slipping

anyway I want my Kracken...... Dread Cthulhu needs his pet as he's getting lonely
