I'm trying to figure out if an unknown box coming from UPS is either this or Forbidden Fortress, as they're the only massively large boxes I'm expecting any time soon.

@Fenriswulf- how heavy was the box?

The package I've got coming is close to 40 pounds... and the more I think about it, CMON usually uses FedEx for shipping big stuff in the US, so maybe it is FoFo after all.

Either way I'm eagerly anticipating this one!

One thing I'd really like to hear more about is the art book if anyone ordered it. It's more pages than the actual comic I think!

I got an extra FedEx delivery today and now I'm wondering if it's my dose of HATE O_O

I got the art book (I think? please, past Salvage!) so will report back.

I received my shipment in two parts to cut down on the weight for shipping I am guessing. If they combined them it might have kicked them into a higher price category for shipping here in Australia. Who knows.

But yes, the main box is bloody heavy. It's shipped in a long rectangular box which has the size and dimensions of a small flat-screen TV. And a weight pretty much similar, if not heavier considering it's mostly cardboard and plastic. One thing I didn't mention was that although shipping was expensive, they did send it well protected. The main box is suspended inside the cardboard shipping box via cardboard end sleeves which rest on foam corner pieces. Not a scratch or ding on it when it got here.

So I would say that if it's about 40 pounds, depending on what you've ordered, it's likely this kickstarter. Hope you are home to receive it

@Bossk_Hogg - I didn't order any of the terrain, sorry. From what I saw online it was all the one type, but with trees you're likely to be able to modify them different from one another to achieve a unique look for each one. I would have gone with all the add-on's if postage wasn't so terrible for this. As it is I stuck with the things I actually wanted and just left the rest. The KS wasn't too bloated in choices though, which is good, it's just the postage costs which let it down.

I did, however, get a ton of stuff from CMON during their black friday sale, all for $9US shipping from the US, so perhaps it evens out, heh

I ordered everything except the battleground extra set, so if I somehow manage to get that stuff before others, I'll happily post it.

Plus it looks like a lot of others online are confirming the UPS thing is indeed Shadows of Brimstone getting ready to ship out.

I got my notification for Forbidden Fortress Shogun pledge. UPS. 36lbs.

Update: It was not, just a different heavy shipment split into multiple parts

Don't you just hate that?

PS: Highlord, you planning to make an unboxing video?

Yeah, I'll make a video, provided they hurry up and send it to me!

I'm really interested in hearing more about the art book. Considering the size of it, like I said earlier, there's more art in it possibly than pages in the actual graphic novels.

At the very least they've got all those story bits from the campaign included in it, and even with big full page illustrations, I'd imagine there's quite a bit of work in there we haven't really seen.

The Others artbook is one of my favorites for giving the monsters a lot more page time. One of these days I'm going to hunt down the World of Smog one as well...
