The bases were apparently a Marvel requirement but I am sure they could have got away with a more toned down version.

Ugh, they want $180 for Marvel Zombies Galactus and they can't even do the actual Marvel Zombies Galactus?



Give me my team of zombies that ate Galactus.

Two words: Expansion add-on.

Not sold on this, it seems very expensive for what you get. Maybe the daily bonus’s will make it seem better towards the end of the campaign.
Maybe I’m just put off because it’s another marvel licence not based on the MCU version of characters.

I suspect the license is why it is more expensive.

I'm in it for the $240 level but not really excited about it. May keep it and paint it, may just re-sell it since everything CMON goes for triple price on Ebay after delivery. Heck, I just looked for Zombicide 2nd ed and the Reboot Box alone (just the stretch goal addons, not including the main game) is going for $200+.

Thought about picking it up to mix with marvel and have X-Men fight proper zombies instead of Multiple Man and tank-boi, but sheesh, if you don't get the KS you almost might as well not bother.

Heck, makes me wonder how much Galactus will be if the KS version is $180.

The similarly sized Cthulhu from Death May Die goes for around $450 at the moment looking at completed listings on eBay. That was cheaper that Galactus but has been a few years since it was available and less copies than Galactus would have been produced. It didn't come with the additional figures like Galactus does and it's use in the game was more limited than the Galactus addon.

Hm... Galactus at $180 (or a pledge increase of $170) plus $180 shipping to AU (or a shipping increase of $116) - and I may be able to resell it for $450+ down the line? I miiiiight just have to pass on that, as much as I'd like the gameplay and Surfer. If they offer a tile based version due to popular demand, I may grab that instead....

Moon Knight (Hero) added at $3.75m - after some backlash against yesterdays Daily Bugle and the $500k SG gaps



Zombie Winter Soldier remains at $4m then Daredevil (Hero) at $4.2m

campaign seems stalled at the moment....moving backwards?

It did last night but it's slowly moving forward again today. It's gone from €3.18 million opening to €530k yesterday to $78k so far today. 20% of backers sitting at $1. They'll probably add a paid add on tomorrow to move it on. Don't expect Zombie Winter Soldier today.

This campaign has made me realize how few Marvel characters I'm actually a big fan of. Sad to say, but I'll probably be passing here unless they add something absurdly cool.

Apparently there was some angry backlash about how stretch goals were being doled out (too slow, too far apart, too much money between etc), and something about John Woo/Bystanders eating up stretch goals that should have gone to heroes, which I find offensive. They're superheroes, they should be saving bystanders. Or eating them, y'know, as zombie heroes do. Either way, more bystanders is good and was clearly planned since the beginning.

It's higher than the other CMON Kickstarters from the get go and I haven't seen this level of complaining in a CMON Kickstarter, which usually have plenty of complaints. It might be the first I can't afford an all-in but I'm still backing it because the content is awesome and I'm a huge Marvel fan.

I can't wait to see the additional optional buys and it is here where I expect most of the missing heroes to be introduced.

Not worth it yet for me £200+ for the base two games - but still hoping.

Well that, general inflation, shipping inflation, and all the other things going on to cause prices to sky rocket.

A massive Shuma-Gorath would be cool...

From the livestream

No Zombie Spiderman - Marvel won't allow it.

MSRP for the core boxes is $130 each

All going to plan this should have more content added than the X-Men United KS

Daily Bugle - Vanessa Fisk Bystander mini - I guess Kingpin is a given then



Fantastic Four is the first expansion - Baxter Building tiles - adds elevators/ vertical play - retail expansion not KSE but KS version has KSE promo minis like Living Super Skrull.

Yes they covered it on the livestream.

Shame as Zombie Spider-Man is a key character from the actual original Marvel Zombies book (along with the F4). Perhaps it’s due to the Sony licence.

Here's the add on

Expansion is meh. The value is... not there, there is no value. If you really want the Final Four zombies I can see getting it, otherwise it's a 'maybe at retail' purchase I think.

Can't really think of any, even potential, reason Marvel won't let them do a zombie mini for Spider-Man. Unless they sold exclusive rights for Zombie Spider-Man merchandise to somebody else, which seems unlikely.

Oh...them....

Hopefully get some X-Men or more movie characters soon.

If I do buy do you think people would buy the Deadpool stuff as can't stand the character and might get me some money back.

I imagine its Sony saying what happens to Spiderman?

They'd better put a Hero Dr Doom in there too or there will be trouble

I heard that CMON were the masters of the add-ons, but I figured that I could keep away from them, being as the two sets cover everything that I'd want...

Except for Dr. Doom...

Dammit! There's an extra $50.

Way too expensive for me, and that's before shipping and taxes (and taxes on shipping).

Nope.

$50 for Doom is a pittance. Hopefully, his Hero version (for this box) will get unlocked soon.

No Zombie Spider-Man?

What a weird restriction...

Just when I thought I was safely out...they potentially pull me back in with a Fantastic Four set.

Of course it comes at a $50.00 price, but if a Hero Dr. Doom shows up...
