Indolent Bastard posted:(Also how did they miss the KS in the first place?) This is similar to the way I feel after pulling out of the original Zombicide KS and seeing the prices the stretch goal figures go for on Ebay.  homullus posted:I missed a lot of KS initially because while I'd heard of it through the Wasteland and Double Fine ones, I didn't really even think of being part of these things myself.

Indolent Bastard posted:(Also how did they miss the KS in the first place?) I assume there are people like me out there who didn't have the cash on hand when the kickstarter was underway and so couldn't snap up their own pledge at that time. God knows that if I had had a reversal of fortune I would have snapped up one of the resold sets at a premium, but I am still as broke as ever. Which is ok, because Bones will mean cheap miniatures on the shelves as well!

Already people are getting the sealed Vampire pledges I shipped to them! Yayyyyy!  And already people are opening their sealed Vampire pledges I shipped to them and complaining about missing figures!  Oh well, time to go ask for Reaper's replacement mini contact info.

I couldn't afford to pledge Vampire or above at the time either, and it's annoying to miss the "bargains" on stuff like the dragons and such, but honestly I probably spend less money in the aggregate by buying the Bones I want a la carte at retail, rather than paying $100+ when a big chunk of that money is figs I will honestly probably never paint or use.

Yea, pretty much. I love Reaper figures, but I have always bought them by the handful for stuff like character miniatures or because I'll see them on the rack and be like 'Overloaded Henchman'? That's great! As much as a I am a sucker for deals, I really have no use for a ton of rats or skeletons or half the other stuff in there. What this does mean though is that in the future I will be able to grab a big miniature purely for fun and not be paying $80-$100 for it (also it won't be pewter and do it's best to explode any time it's touched). It's kind of like a SuperGulp. I mean, yes, 64oz of soda is a GREAT deal. But I have never drunk that much soda in my life, so getting a great deal on something you will waste half of isn't really grand. Sidenote: This is what I am telling myself so I feel better about not having vampire boxes pile up in my doorway. Please allow me to keep my delusion!

Just out of curiosity, is everyone supposed to have received their bones by now? I know there was some mixup with Canada and customs, but I haven't heard a peep for a while and I'm still waiting.

The original plan was to have them all out before Origins, but no, anyone with one of the really big minis or a really complicated order is still waiting.

Edit: for reference, I ordered Vampire x1 $100 Fire Giants x1 $10 Frost Giants x1 $10 Klocke Classics x1 $4 Figure Case x2 $50 Storm Giants x1 $10 Mind Your Manors x1 $10 Vampire + 5 things and two cases.

The Hell on Earth miniatures Kickstarter (who are doing their fulfillment through Reaper, being a Savage Worlds thing) just sent us an email 2 days ago saying that Reaper expects to be shipping nothing but a ton of Bones during the last half of June. (This in the context of 'if our minis don't go out before then, they'll be delayed'.)

The Vampire pledges are in-hand at Reaper, if not already shipped out. EVERY addon is waiting in those final containers that got held up. If you ordered a Vampire plus addons, they are waiting on the addons to ship it all at once. I think they only shipped the Vampire pledges that I ordered to me early is because I ordered so many they needed to pack them in separate boxes anyways.

Let me clarify: I did not pledge for any figures, at all, at any level. I pledged $26 and got only the case ($1 plus the case as a $25 addon, if memory serves). It cleared their pledge management system and everything.

Brace yourselves, miniatures are coming.Reaper posted:Friday, June 7th, we received two 40ft containers full of Bones! For those of you keeping track at home, those containers were filled with over 470,000 models. We're still looking for the last container to be delivered next week, but we have enough to start shipping now. Sounds like they're actually skipping out on Origins so they can have all hands on deck to get this stuff shipped out.

Plastic floats. Containers fall overboard surprisingly often and the stuff in them gradually washes up on the beaches of alaska and russia over the subsequent two years. I think some of it also winds up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Eventually, Bones will be thawing out of the polar ice cap and making their way across the atlantic to the shores of the UK.

They've started sending out System Check e-mails to make sure everyone's addresses are still good, so we should be seeing things shipped again shortly. My only regret is that it didn't ship before my deployment, so I won't be seeing them until October. But at least I know they'll be there.

So maybe it's a mass email to the next several thousand people on the list?

Oh yeah I came in here because I got that email and got excited.

On the Reaper board, someone mentioned it was done via Amazon's mass mailing system, to avoid getting treated as spam. It apparently means the emails were sent more-or-less randomly, due to the way Amazon handles things. Also, just got another system check on the e-mail I used to pick up another person's pledge. That makes four system check e-mails I've received.
