I am so torn between this and Hellboy. Both have their positives and negatives.

I love the art style of this (Adrian Smith) and have had so much fun with the other Zombicide games. This one is probably a bankable guarantee of quite a few fun evenings of gaming. But, I love the Hellboy franchise, and perhaps I should go for something a bit different?

Arggghhhh! First world problems!

Try saving for both. Nothing like the crappy feeling of trying to buy the KS exclusives off of eBay at really high prices...

Time for this and one more I'd say - $3.25 million good point to end at

Shorter campaign, and a comparably lacklustre final day seem to be the main difference.

Definitely still a 'win' for CMON though.

I dunno. The final number looks to be about a (or two) million bucks short of BP/GH.

Shorter campaign doesn't really matter - the first couple days and the last couple are what really matter for CMoN. The middle is filler, and shorter is less of a lull that drags on.

It's definitely a massive failure for CMoN, as it's dragging the "Zombicide" name down from a $5M+ property down to a mere $3M property. If they only wanted $3M, they should have labeled it "Xenoshyft" or "Sedition Wars 2". Trying to pretend it's not a failure is nonsense. You don't attach it to your $4-5M game system expecting to barely break $3M. You attach it looking to break out with $5-6M.

I say base it on the KS exclusives. Which ever one has more figs that you won't be able to find later on without paying a scalper's mark up, go with that one and pick the other one up at retail if it still tickles your fancy. YMMV.

It's the best SG since not-Venom IMHO. Let's pick up the pace so we can get this one lol. 6 hours left!

I think Hellboy will be the better option but Mantic are much better at making Kickstarter Exclusives available later via mantic points.

In any event, CMON always allow late pledges once the pledge manager opens so just hold off committing until you see all that Hellboy has to offer.

Ditto this. You'll have like 2 more months to save for Invader...

Who says today is lackluster??? We have already raised as much today as in day 14 of the campaign when a whole different campaign was launched within the campaign for Invader!!! And there are still 6 hours left!!! Crazy.

We're doing pretty well... 28K in the last hour. We keep this up, we'll get the big one by the end. Would like to see another SG added.

Thiago hinted today that the Z:I PM might come earlier than usually, so maybe don't count you have as much time to save money for it than usually?

Thanks for the laugh, I needed it today.

HATE campaign got a whole new tribe added after China money was counted in, so I'm hoping we'll get something like a new gang box added in too! Who knows?

Hoping this too. Isa (CMON moderator) is present now on comments, hopefully she'll announce something like this when we reach 3,100,000 soon.

I'm *sure* we can raise .9M in five hours.

As of this post we are at $3,127,680.

$22,230 until the Stomper unlocks with 4 hours to go.

I take it all back. The likely last sg is Steven hawking in a murderchair... inspired!

Wow! I agree that is a really cool model.

Come on, guys. Sharing is caring!

Come on guys. Let's reach this one. It's gonna be tough. We did 100K in 3 hours. Gonna need 150K in the same amount of time. But I think we can do it...

I keep getting that blank picture too. o.O

Just double checking my math (maths for the English in here). $420 is the right amount for all in?

Against better judgement I just upped my pledge. I want Hawking!

Are meaning 'all in game content' or 'all in everything that is extra too' like doors, bases, dice and deck holders?

All in for everything, extra dice, peoples, tiles, all the gubbins.

I'm in for the $150 pledge. Haven't decided on any of the add on things but I'll see if I want anything else once the PM rolls around.

I have $420.

There is a spreadsheet going around on the comments part of the KS for Invader that has every single item broken down. KingZombie (KZ) posts it every few hours.

We just did 56K in one hour. If we can keep this pace up, we'll have him.

I went all in for all 'unique' game content and I think that's $310?

SP- 150 DS- 90 G1- 15 G2- 15 G3- 15 Xenos- 30

Do you count extra xenos unique? If so, I have $315...

Professor Falconer is fantastic, and the only survivor stretch I've actually cared if it's in the box or not. I'll do my part and jump back up to Soldier.

Yeah Falconer is a wonderful tribute. I ended additionally pledging for dice, markers, card holders, etc., that I'm not even sure I'll use.... But need Falconer!

Falconer is cool, but I still feel we're missing out on a power loader/ mech stand in.

Happy we have a few abomb variants at least, and some unique xenos to fight.
