Cyp - Thanks (although I don't think the approval will come through in time, it's good to know for future reference!)

Blacksails - Cheers, I'm personally the most excited about Guildball, but those FSA players were extremely patient!

You might even get a little more money out of me yet. I'd like some tokens for 40k (or sorry, 'Sci-fi'), X-Wing, and FSA. I'm work blocked at the moment (but can still access Dakka...yay government), there's still time left right?

**Stormwall**

I originally backed for FSA but, that was before the Halo ship game came out.

Going in for a 40k set. Thinking of making one of your cubes into an Aquatic 6mm diorama to go with my other aquatic ideas.

**RiTides**

Blacksails - Yes, the campaign ends tomorrow, so you've still got time to add a set!

Stormwall - Which 40K set are you thinking? The Vehicles set is the one I made first, but I think the Objectives set is actually the one I like best - it's just such a great fit

. When the edition changes you won't be stuck with custom dice for 7th ed objectives, you can just get an upgrade token set! And flipping them to the face of the mysterious objective just feels natural

I will probably get the vehicles one, even if the second one is tempting.

Very cool, NTRabbit, what forum was that?

The 40k thread in the SomethingAwful TG forum, though it was Carl from the Independent Characters who posted about it, so it makes sense

**Sinful Hero**

Looks to be about 9 hours to go, and I managed to snag an early bird last night. Here's hoping to a good finish!

**Vanguard-13**

Free Tokens at 48,000!!!

Quick, everyone up it by $25!

**RiTides**

Vanguard beat me to it, here's the final stretch goal!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1388589874/modcube-part-tokens-part-dice-fully-modular/posts/1254452

Final stretch goal - free tokens!! Just 10 hours to go!

Here is the final stretch goal - a free token with every set of ModCubes you pledge for =)

We're able to include these free (your choice of arrow or exclamation point with each set!) because we will be cutting them out of the interior of the ModCube Tool pieces! If you missed the ModCube Tool update earlier, it's also free with every set you pledge for, and you can see a video of how you can use it to easily pop the ModCubes apart here:

Here are the final remaining stretch goals... can we do it?!

- $44,000 - ModCube set compatible with Mantic's Deadzone
- $46,000 - ModCube set compatible with the new game Guildball!
- $48,000 - Final Stretch Goal - Free Tokens!

Finally, here is something we've been waiting for - an independent video review of the ModCube for use with X-wing, by a very reputable X-wing gamer, Aaron Utley who runs the Stele Open (one of the most concentrated high level groups of X-wing players you're ever going to run into). Check out his thoughts below!

We'll make a thorough update showing our timeline for the survey tomorrow, and if we're able to unlock these last two sets we'll be revealing them over the next week and a half (before the survey goes out!), along with the Firestorm Armada set we unlocked yesterday. We hit an amazing 100 new backers yesterday alone!!

Until next time, keep on modding!

Bumped mine by $30, lets go folks

43,918 with 8 hours left.

**RiTides**

Excellent, thanks Theophony! We've hit the Deadzone set now

so I think it is possible!

**Theophony**

So $44,663 with 6 hours to go, I think we can still hit the 48,000 easy. That's only 150 more sets give or take.

I know I want to grab a fourth set, but not sure what I'd do for them. Right now my selection is

X-wing
Infinity
(Unknown) maybe crates

Black set (extra grey)
Yellow set (extra grey)
Rainbow set (with $5 extra four cubes) if this comes with an extra cube then grey here as well.

Now if I bump to a fourth set then I'll change the unknown/crates to be the sci-fi game cubes (might get back to 40K some year) and the 4th set be the vehicle set.
Then the cubes themselves do a second rainbow and add another $5 bonus four colors.

I think that takes me to $119 with shipping if I figure correctly.
$55 mod duex
$30 rainbow set with all 12 color cubes
$30 rainbow set with all 12 color cubes again
$4 shipping for my zip code from the mod duex order.

Do I need to add more shipping because of the extra sets?

**RiTides**

No extra shipping required, Theophony, thanks for asking! Also, I sent you a PM

We crossed the $46K stretch goal and the 2 hours remaining mark nearly simultaneously, so it's going to be close to hit the last goal at $48K! Any of your lurkers, give it a look while it's still live, even pledging $1 will give you a chance to up it later!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1388589874/modcube-part-tokens-part-dice-fully-modular

I know I've said it a bunch, but the support from Dakka has been amazing, so thank you guys! I'll have to make it up somehow

**Sinful Hero**

Well, you got a few extra bucks out of me. Here's hoping you hit 48k!

**RiTides**

You are a gentleman and a scholar, Sinful Hero

**Theophony**

46,318 with 45 minutes left. Come on DakkaDakka, daddy needs some exclamation tokens. (Cue sound of MODcubes rolling)

**RiTides**

Just posted in the comments, if we can hit 47K, we'll call them unlocked

. Just about $500 to go!

Linkage for the lurkers: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1388589874/modcube-part-tokens-part-dice-fully-modular

**Theophony**

While I won't pass them up if we only get to $47,000, I must point out

"WE ARE DAKKADAKKA" what other website has members that come up with, create, kickstart, fund and deliver Flying Assault Butts? We can do $48k

**RiTides**

I appreciate it Theophony

. You guys' support has been incredible!

**Cyporiean**

Congrats Tides!

**RiTides**

Woot, thanks Cyporiean! It was really funny seeing like 4 people scramble to pledge in the last 30 seconds

with the final one being HP Lovecraft... creepy!

We're going to call that close enough for the free tokens

. Update coming now! I'm especially thrilled with the backer count, 740 backers is just incredible and more than I had imagined.

My wife and I are going to go celebrate and then it's back to work getting this fulfilled for you all!

**dashrendar**

Yeah. My buddy tried pledging at the last minute and had issues with his connection or something. When he it the button on the last step, it was too late. Anyway for him to still get in?

**Sinful Hero**

Congratulations, and roll on RhodeIslandTides, roll on!

**RiTides**

Thanks, Sinful Hero!

Dashrendar, I'll shoot you a PM! I don't have anything set up for this but since he was in the process of pledging I will make an exception for him

Here's the final results:

Despite backing so many campaigns, nothing could really prepare me for seeing this from the other side

with 63% of our funds raised and backer totals coming from the 2 starting and 2 ending days of the campaign!

**Ramos Asura**

Big Congrats, RiTides!!

Now comes the real challenge- Getting everyone their stuff!!

**NoseGoblin**

WOW!

Well done and congrats.

Very exciting finish!

**Necros**

I have no idea which cubes I wanna get.. So many tasty options

**shade1313**

Between GW and GF9, I already had a crapload of tokens for 40k, and huge loads of the included tokens for X-Wing.

Still pledged for 4 sets, because I am clearly a sucker for tokens.

**Smuttbudgie**

Congrats, Only wish i could have backed this but with my car giving up the ghost a few times this month and now needing a new one made it imoposible for me. I hope to get these when you hit retail with them, and wish you all the best with all the packing and shipping.

**Theophony**

Well I have to say this was one of the better run Kickstarters. Great interaction with the creator, 23 updates, crap load of new ideas and he took feedback and made MODifications on the fly. True innovation I. The works and all with a passion from gaming

. Was hoping my wife got her promotion so I could have gotten more, but I'll settle for the four sets I ordered. Now onto fulfillment

, the part where great kickstarters go to die.

I want a picture of the boxes full of parts organized into a giant rainbow of colors before you start sorting and shipping.
