Aye, I got in on the standard $150.. I was in the early bird mix.. but got kicked out after forty odd mins.. but as Alph already said it was only a tenner, so not too much to worry about.

Tbh with how bad my connection seems to be at the moment, I'm shocked I got in at all.. touch wood should be on a fibre line in four days.. so back to normality.. well if normal equals 38mb line compared to 50kb or less.

I'm not suggesting anyone actually drop their pledge or anything but CMoN has to know that this is negatively influencing their biggest fans.

Even if top line servers wont prevent you from being backer # 901 and missing the EB. 10 bucks isnt worth the headache of getting an EB if its a hassle, nor whining about after the fact.

I know the Blood Rage minis are looking awesome, so hopefully zombicide is following suit.

So bloody tempted by this, if the add on doesn't offer much exclusive stuff I'm thinking of the $100 effort

People found out more than an HOUR after they thought they had backed. It isn't about the $10 and it isn't acceptable. Now that they've switched payment systems Kickstarter makes more than 7% of each pledge, or about $50,000 so far today just on Zombicide, and their payment system is an absolute joke. I'm still going to back it, just like I did all the other versions, but I've also written to CMoN encouraging them to give an ultimatum to Kickstarter.

Took me 90 minutes to find out whether my pledge had actually gone through or not.

Crazy. Just crazy.

I doubt it'll be much better when Bones 3 starts either.

I like how on the hero box it has a picture of the American flag amongst others for language, didn't realise they stopped speaking English lol! Really excited for this especially the new character boards. Hopefully they will port this idea over to the rest of the games.

They did. That's why all the heroes are one color, too.

This is great news!

This one keeps getting better - and better!

Good gravy... I don't really need more models but the game does look pretty fun... and those dashboards... those alone are worth the trip. Still reluctant to tie up more money though... Posting here so you guys can keep me informed

What a great rollercoaster. I was other "got an EB! Oh... I didn't...", I backed at 12:07, with 300 EB remaining. An hour and a half later I got the sad trombone email... And backed at $150.

Whatevs.

Does Reaper Bones do early bird too? I can't recall. I wonder if that one will take off like the others. Jeez, my closet is full of unpainted figs...

Bones does EB, but there is no money difference, just order of fulfillment.

The bones EBs usually aren't anything to worry about, the diligent can often snipe those on the last day as people shift their priorities and some will inevitably drop out. At least I was able to get one without too much effort.

Once the containers came in, everything shipped out within a few weeks. So the Wave 1's were delayed, while the Wave 7's were shipped early. See the Reaper Bones III updates for details.

...

$850K+ and 5800+ backers in 7 hours.

Zombicide's a brand with some recognition and loyalty - sheesh!

Pancakeonions,

Don't feel too bad. I pledged for an EB spot at 12:01 with 850 left. I saw the 'pledge is being processed and tried to pledge again for the next 10 minutes. Not sure if I screwed myself out of an early bird spot but the email I got 2 hours later said all early bird spots were taken... when I pledged a minute in with 850 slots left after my pledge!

We all know zombicide is worth way more than that $10 in both fun, game value, and $ value. I'm just stoked to seething characters thwy have made so far -freeeeeedoooomm!

Now we need ragnar from the Vikings show and his buddy flokin

at this rate it's gonna be a million in less than 24 hours. Were the other Zombicide campaigns that fast?

We should set up a pool and place bets on what the final will be

2.8mil i reckon

Love the survivors so far, would be aweso eto have a tyrion lannister though

You can go to Kicktraq and see that all of the previous ZC campaigns funded slower.

The $781,598 stretch goal today was such an odd number because that was the TOTAL from the first Kickstarter campaign.

Is this a KS miniature boardgame record yet?

If we reach the amazing mark of $1,000,000 all backers will get to add the Abominotaur juggernaut to their games! This berserking beast comes with an amazing miniature, spawn cards, and broken wall tokens.

So, how will the Abominotaur work? For starters, it's an Abomination, with all that that entails. It can only be killed by a Damage 3 weapon (or Dragon Fire), it grants 5 experience points when killed, its attacks ignore armor, and it has 1 action per activation.

But then comes the really nasty part. First, each of its powerful gore attacks deal 2 Wounds to its helpless target. Second, it can break through walls and closed doors! At the start of the activation step of the Zombies' Phase, set the Abominotaur's target Zone before moving it, ignoring closed doors and walls (but not Vault doors and ramparts). If an Abominotaur has to go through a closed door or wall, first put a “broken wall” token to link its starting and destination Zones, and remove any closed door token that might be in the way. The broken wall is considered as an open door, and thus can generate a Zombie spawn in a previously closed building. Actors can now cross the Zones. After that, proceed with moving all the other Zombies (as the Zombies’ route can be redefined by the wall’s destruction).

As you can see, the Abominotaur is one nasty piece of work, relentlessly chasing you, and opening the way for all its zombie friends to get to you as well!

But isn't that how we like our Zombicide?

Raise thy Swords!

Went for the $150 even though some say the $100 is a better value and you can pick up the expansion at MM. I went to MM and the Zombicides MSRP are actually higher than they were in the KS. Thus the $150 is a great deal and includes the Gowan KS exclusive. Even if you pledge the $100 and get him for $10 it still amounts to the same if the MSRP goes up at MM.

I hope that makes sense as I have worked long hours and am on limited sleep.

Is Gowan a not-someone?

Interesting that the Abominotaur isn't marked as an exclusive, but isn't in one of the two box sets. Does this mark the start of a small expansion box?

I picked up TCM for $30 a few months ago, but, of course, backers got their copies long before I found it on sale.

I'm counting +46 mini's in the SG's by 1M?
Base: 71
Wulf: 26
Hero: 5
Gowan: 1

26 Wulf
5 Hero Pack

4 runners
4 Fatties
James
4 Snow White NPC
Cadence

1 Necromancer

Connor McLeod going by the dress.

That Abominotaur looks awesome! Sounds scary in-game, too.

So I really want this but currently don't have the funds.

Gowan is a not Connor from highlander as Alex pointed out

Should we try to work out who all the not's are from the strech goals? I would be curious.

New stuff added
