Well, I didn't back it either, because of the theme (no call for zombie orcs in my other 28mm games) and SG's (not a fan of the musicians or shows, and can get superhero mini's elsewhere). Considering that shipping will cost $25+, you're paying just under $150 without the add-ons. I don't think it's your fault. For that much money, I'd like to have an "MUST BUY" reaction, rather than an iffy response. Reaper's KS is coming up "soon" and I'm waiting to see what they have to offer.

Lords of Hellas had a box, with an insert even, as a stretch goal to hold stuff.

It is one of the most practical things to give out.

Yea Im not strictly against the box, although in the end it is just a box, and I will already have 5 boxes with zombicide art on the side of them before this one to toss guys in... I just am let down that there wasnt a big ticket model at the end. I dont see how you could claim anything other than maybe the giants a ways back could even qualify if you compare to their previous KS'ers

Yea I feel you, the 300 Im on the fence with for this one is starting to seem more and more questionable. Thats alot of money (to me anyway) and there are very possibly better places to spend it. How long till reapers launches? I think Ill be sticking with 1$ till the pledge manager deadline eventually gets here on this one.

**ced1106**

And they didn't have a Blackadder or Baldrick survivor! What's up with that???

**Theophony**

I'm in for the $1 placeholder. Don't really need/want the box as I see it as costing me more in shipping than anything. Unless they pack all the goodies in their to begin with

. Even still I've only watched a few episodes of Stranger things, and wasn't blown away, and the fact you must buy the expansions to even finish off that set seems like a cheap trick. Some of the musicians I like, but the rest are meh! I feel almost obligated to buy it because of the Monty Python stuff, but theirs so much stuff that could have gone into other genre zombicides, all the marvel and DC characters would have been better in contemporary Zombicide.

And I was hoping for an abominaduck....they weigh the same as a church.

And shameless plug of my giant wooden rabbit:

Survivors can hide inside it.

**BigDaddio**

I put in a buck as well. Not sure I'd ever get around to using all this stuff, and money is tight. But the dragon and giant, among others, is tempting.

**Hulksmash**

I went in mostly for the giant, dragon, and some of the monsters. With the cross over cards for massive darkness I'm good with it for $120 for all the figures. Plus all the exclusives make for some pretty solid figures for D&D characters

**Skinnereal**

It is the extra features in the boards for me. Hedges and streams looked to be a good idea, and I wanted to see how they play out.

**JohnHwangDD**

I ended up passing on GH. Fantasy Zcide just doesn't capture my imagination.

Some good news

The Pledge Manager is being set up right now, so keep an eye out for it, as it should launch in 1-2 weeks.....

Things are going so well for the core box that we actually have an announcement to make:
While the expansions still have considerable work ahead of them, the Green Horde core box is in such good shape that we're going to produce it and ship it to backers in advance! This means this campaign will ship in 2 waves:
- Wave 1 will contain only the Green Horde core boxes you order. It will ship from the factory before the end of the year. Unfortunately we can't promise delivery by Christmas, but we'll try our best. It's very possible some backers will receive it In January-February 2018. We'll keep you updated.
- Wave 2 will contain all the Stretch Goals and Optional Buys. It retains the same initial delivery estimate of June 2018.
With this early Wave 1 it's even more important that, once the Pledge Manager launches, you complete it and confirm it quickly, otherwise you'll have to wait a long while.
For the Green Horde!

I have no idea what to think..... a KS game being shipped AHEAD of schedule??

I have received multiple KS games ahead of schedule.

That's great for you!

I have not.

Aren't you a fellow RRT backer?

**Theophony**

I'm still on the fence with this one. I'm in for $1, but not enough cool characters and Necromunda is coming for ALL my hobby funds.

If you like Z:BP and play it often enough you might want to at least get the core box as it will allow for a sizeable expansion with more tiles, different terrain features and rules for modified gameplay. I only did the core box for Z:BP and regret not getting the expansions at the time, but I wanted to make sure my kids would enjoy the game, now that I know they do I went in pretty big on Green Tide.

I'm also excited that Necromunda is coming back but I'm going to wait until all the gangs are released before I choose a gang to start. I'd like to continue with House Orlock before starting a new gang.

**Fango**

I missed out on this when it was live...any way to late-pledge?

**xevv**

Still on the fence for this one, although I have pretty much talked myself down to the base pledge at best at this point.

It was quite the pleasant surprise to receive those games early.

Yes, I split a RRT pledge. I wish I had never put a penny to them.

If you don't see a late pledge option on the KS page, try sending them a message. They are usually responsive when someone shoves money towards them.

If that's a no go, there might be someone local to you with a pledge you can piggyback on.

**Psychopomp**

I went in for $1 to hold open the door for the Massive Darkness crossover pack, and just in case I got interested in more fantasy Zombicide.

But honestly, hobby funds are going to be really tight for the next few months, and I don't have Massive Darkness yet to make the judgement call on whether I want to go in on Black Plague to support it. (I have and prefer the modern-day Zombicide. I just like post-apoc zombie stuff more than fantasy necromancer uprising.) So, I dunno if I'm gonna go any further in on this. I really wish the crossover packs would go to retail instead of being Kickstarter exclusive.

They are going to retail...

They never were an exclusive for GH

Huh. I went back and checked, and you're right...the GH crossover pack isn't marked exclusive. Yet the BP pack was. Has that changed now? Are they planning to release both packs at retail? Releasing only the Green Horde pack doesn't seem like it would make much sense, honestly.

**xevv**

Naw sadly the pack that was with MD is still KS only, it was also a much better deal.

The ones from GH dont give you cards for KSE models, and cost nearly twice as much... guess the price of paper really went up...
