I closed mine on February 12, and I still haven't received anything yet. Does anyone know if you get tracking information or a shipment notice?


I didn't get a tracking number before my parcel arrived.

I imagine that from the date that you have provided you will be in the last batch of parcels dispatched, so no need to worry yet.

Mine just arrived, haven't had a chance to unbox it yet.

Seems like it was posted 2 days ago, if that helps anyone.

Anyone in the U.S. get this yet, just wondering as its been a month since the last package supposedly went out?

Yes, I got my pledge about...2 weeks ago?

You should have yours by now as all pledges were (allegedly) shipped by the end of July.

The only reasons for not having yours yet would be:

1) Lost in the mail
2) You didn't complete the Pledge Manager

I definitely filled out the pledge manager, and PayPal took my money, still waiting from a reply from each scale75. Do you remember what shipping company brought your order?

It came by usps. Finally got a tracking number last night checked and it was sent on 7/12, but didn't leave the Spanish postal system until 8/23.

Preorder prices for the forces don't look terrible, however it will be interesting to see what they go to. Sadly the prices for characters seem pretty high so I doubt I'd pick this up at retail unless it had amazing rules.

Yes, the prices for the heroes are a bit on the high side, but I can't remember the last time I was more impressed by figures in this approximate scale. I bought a fair amount during the KS, but once I had the figures in hand they were so much more impressive than I had anticipated from the screenshots.

I will definitely be buying more when they become available, Scale75 really have excelled themselves IMHO.

I agree - I love it all so far, and I hope that they continue to expand and grow the entire line.

Did you pick up any of the vehicles during the KS? I wonder how they turned out?

I didn't , because they were (pretty universally) the only things I didn't like.

Well, that and the entire 'Harvester' range.

I did get everything else though!

Everything else?

Holy gak, I saw that you had gone big on this one, but I didn't realise quite how big! If only I could have been so bold

I don't know why I 'trusted' them with that much, but based on their previous larger...scale efforts and their paint line, I felt that it would be a 'safe' bet.

And, for the most part, it was!

I as well, got everything except for the vehicles and the mercenary characters. Regretting not getting everything though, I emailed scale games and they said the vehicles and mercs would likely be hitting retail in 2017.

So I have two of my starter factions painted, and got my first game in last night.

A quick review/overview of the game and pictures of my minis painted in the link https://darkerdaysradio.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/review-fallen-frontiers.html?zx=99f59939b72ab7f0

You've done a good job with your Riffs, the red armour looks pretty striking.

I'm still wondering what colour scheme to paint mine in, I'm hoping that I will have settled on one by the time that they reach the front of the painting queue!

Has SCALE75 started talking about 'what's next' yet?

No, at least I haven't heard anything. Now that the first "wave" of FF stuff has been released I would expect the next batch to be released in a month or two.

Speaking of the first wave of releases, I've just checked the site and the prices seemed to have dropped...or am I mistaken?

I could have sworn that there was a pre-order offer of 10% off of the RRP. I remember the heroes being 16.20 Euros (reduced from 18 Euros), but now they are 14.88?

I'm certainly not complaining, but I would be a bit disappointed if I had bought some at the pre-order special offer price!

I am still dealing with "issues" with Scale 75 over my pledge. I am fairly sure I know what they are going to do to "fix" it and I'm probably not going to like it given the initial responses. However I am waiting until it is finalized before I go into more details. How they handle it though will definitely be determining if Fallen Frontiers is something I want to play and promote.

Yeah they definitely dropped the prices on the heroes.

I thought so, wonder if the price was lowered on anything else?

I love your Sayx heavy dudes with gatling guns, very well done!

Cheers. http://www.scale75.com/Newsletters/2016/FF_NL_PRE-ORDER.pdf

So yes looks like price drops across the board.

Is it possible you guys are missing the +IVA?

That's Spain's version of VAT and it's 21%, so the heroes are still 18 euro.

The casting was totally fine btw, I briefly checked the box before it went on the shelf (No disrespect to FF, almost everything I buy does that ).

Lots of grammatical errors and the like in the rulebook but not unexpected.

I was hoping, when I heard they were doing a different starter set than the Kickstarter box, that they'd put the Sayx in it. Still calling themselves a '35mm game' when not a single mini in either box set is below 40mm is never going to sit well with me but that's their business now.

So the Sayx Hero Dianne is 14.88 € + IVA on the site

In the pdf preorder she is priced at 18 €, and on preorder was 16.20 (and that is including vat). So no, the prices have been dropped.

As for the models being 35mm and none being in the box that are that scale, while the Sayx are (I did some comparison shots with all the model ranges I have currently) is really more your issue more than anything.

14.88+IVA is 18.

Sadly Arty is correct, I just did a checkout test on the scale website.

While I was there I was blown away by the cost of shipping one resin figure to the UK from Spain; the total cost for purchasing one figure came to 29.20 Euros.

Does anyone know of any UK friendly online stores that stock FF stuff?

Id also be interested in getting a starter, but really would like to know if US distributors will carry it.
