As far as I can tell ND sent out everything (180 boxes) that they were provided by Prodos. This lot was collected by the postal service on 25th Sept and should have arrived with everybody who was lucky enough to be on the list

http://ninjadivision.com/avp-us-kickstarter-fullfillment-shipping/

as to whether any of the other boxes due US backers has made it to the 3rd party shipper Prodos decided to use, and if so whether any of it has been sent on it's way or whether they are sitting on it until all of it arrives you'll have to try and dissect Prodos's statements

Prodos said the shipment of game boxes reached the new shipper. They also said they will wait for the 2nd wave to hit that shipper so it can be shipped with the game boxes.

I didn't think there was another way to interpret Jarek/Prodos recent communication.

Sorry, temporarily forgot that ND was not shipping the latest round of Wave 1, even though they are still being called the NA distributer. Back to the regular confusion...

6 Prodos Aliens Predators EXPANSION BOARD SETS! Alt Space Hulk, etc! LOOK!

Because if/when I ever get my game I won't have enough tiles with three crates on them....

Especially if you have three copies of the game coming... in theory anyways...

Yeah

It really does look stupid.
I think I'll replace mine or print stickers to cover up.

Panic...

Im going to use battlesystems as theavp tiles look a bit repetitive

I've had battle systems sci fi terrain waiting for AvP for what seems like years.

Oh wait, it *has* been years.

Sorry if this has already been asked (219 pages, yo!), but is the hard-plastic edition happening? From what I can gather, the retail box is full-on resin, and I vaguely remember someone mentioning that only the KS version would be resin, to be eventually replaced with HIPS frames. Am I imagining it or is that still the plan?

I'm pretty sure they've abandond the idea of plastic, at least for now, due to the expense. So it will be resin for the forseeable future anyways.

Yep, the KS Exclusive Resin is also what is in the retail version.

Sorry Cap'n, I forgot to get that dig in there...

Yeah, I don't see the plastics happening anytime soon (and I was one of the folks who decided not to back last minute and wait for the plastics along with some of what became wave 2 resins). If they're having trouble financially with regards to half the rewards for the backers without dipping into retail profits, I don't see them splurging tens of thousands of GBP or zloty on plastic moulds that will undercut those existing sales.

Currently we don't even see them sending out backer rewards let alone making plastic moulds.

Well then, it's a good thing they reduced the part count for those casual gamers to take full advantage of the widespread appeal of ...resin.





Board gamers come running for the great taste of resin.

Thanks for the info, guys! I would've preferred to wait for the plastic, but it sounds like it might never materialize, so I'll grab the resin box for X-mas.

The resin ones are also looking like they may never materialise for most of us too.

You'll probably get yours if you buy it now before half the backers who paid years ago so it's a good time to get it if you absolutely must have the minis.

You can order it off the webstore and get it within a week! And remember that for every retail purchase, one backer gets a 10% higher chance of getting some of their rewards fulfilled. :(

More stuff going to backers.... Ow wait

I wonder if those marines are the same as the ones in the boxed game or if they are the 'other' squad funded in the KS.

The picture looks like it shows the same as the boxed marines, but I may well be wrong.

If only reinforcements had arrived at their shipping dept...with a piggy bank...

Could of painted the commandos its not as if they have been busy doing anything else

They've painted them that often while they weren't shipping us anything, that the only colour left uncannily matched the original resin.

I'm hoping the reason they are not painted is they didn't want to spend money on that when they have ks backers to look after, but I doubt thats it...

Well you know if backers had their stuff we could be painting it up and showing it off and generating sales for them ...but that's a silly idea .

Now thats just crazy talk! Not the painting, showing off and generating interest and sales part, but the backers having their stuff part...

Wow. Looks like I really dodged a bullet when I dropped this one. Sorry to hear that it's become such an awful clusterfeth, guys. I'll be sure and stay away from anything Prodos in future...

Eh, their store is actually pretty decent when it comes to shipping products in a timely manner.

It's everything else that seems to be stuck in some sort of time singularity.

After sending a rather snotty email or two, I may actually get my stuff next week. With exception to some Facehuggers, Predator Youngbloods and the objective markers.

I should be getting:
AvP box set w/Royal Guard, Pred Berserker, Pred doggies, Alien Queen, Alien Crusher, 5 Alien "Warrior" and a Pred-Alien.

We'll see...
