I've been tracking another Kickstarter reward (Hellboy board game) that shipped close to when my Bones 4 did. It's been quite interesting since that one was sent FedEx from Ohio and is moving slightly faster than Bones 4, which was sent UPS but from Texas, which is closer. The game is currently in Troutdale, OR while Bones 4 is in Twin Falls, ID. It's been rather interesting watching the very different routes each has been taking to get here. ...This is starting to feel like one of those stereotypical math word problems: If a 21.6 lb box of Bones 4 minis leaves Denton on April 11th and travels at the speed of UPS, and a 12.0 lb board game leaves Berea, OH on April 12th and travels at the speed of FedEx, will they arrive within an hour of each other on Wednesday the 17th? Bonus question: will OneBoot's apartment collapse from the strain of too much awesome arriving at once? Tune in tomorrow evening for the answer! Huzzah! --OneBoot :D

Because @Cyradis :

Got my 41.6lb box this evening, have gone through inventory-ing them and it seems I have everything except Mossbeard. I have yet to actually open any of the boxes or bags up, so I'll wait until I do to report everything at once (hopefully no other parts are missing though). My paints were all there, though one box was labeled Pathfinder Colors. Looking in my dragon turtle bag I do have a flight post. What were the other common issues?

Awful video quality so the screenshot is similarly awful, but okay.

I haz box. I haz porch. I haz box on porch!

They came in! And the UPS guy even carried it upstairs for us! Also, they take up half of our 8 foot table.

Reaper already shipped my replacement Mossbeard; they said he should be "lumbering my way".

Is there anything left that people want pics of? Rocky: Hill Giant Huntsman Dragon Turtle Mossbeard Nyarly Argramon with two heads and four right arms

Finished up my Bones Black Stone Troll. The skin texture looks great on the table, less so close up like this. Maybe lean back in your chair? ;)

My box arrived but is currently in the hands of the official package inspectors! Once it clears their check it will be released to me.

Bella is excited! It has arrived!

I got nothing smart or witty to say. I knocked this out for a people's choice painting competition at my LGS. Feel free to bash it.

Something is out for delivery.... Something that weighs 35 lbs... Something from Reaper....

All the Mossbeards turning up missing are enough to make it hard for a Wizard to relax in his tower properly.

My delivery yesterday prompted me to tell my wife I am taking today off. She has decided to do the same. Now I am confused. She doesn't paint minis...

I’d ponied up $5 to UPS to delay my shipment since I wasn’t going to be around and we’ve had a couple of porch thieves lately in the neighborhood. Then it got weather delayed and missed the requested delayed delivery. UPS cancelled the $5 charge. At least something was done right.

@Crowley

I might end up exceedingly happy with UPS later today. Waking up in the middle of the night I find that UPS has updated the delivery date of my Big Beautiful Box of Bones from 4/17 to 4/16, which means I’ll he home when they arrive!! Note: Due to the impending arrival of granddaughter #4, I have taken a couple of days off work so Nana and I could watch granddaughters 1, 2, and 3 while mommy and daddy were picking up baby Zoey at the Stork Depot. Turns out the storks were very efficient and mommy and daddy made it home a day sooner than expected, so Cece, Lyla, and Mae have gone home a day early to be with mommy and daddy and Zoey, leaving grampa with nothing to do on this, the last Family Leave day off, but to roll around in a big pile of bones which he now expects to arrive one day early! Addendum: My BBBoB has left Jacksonville!

It took all day, and my blood pressure was 150 over somthing I didn't catch but I have my meds refilled so the BP should be better soon. Now all I have to do is find a new doctor.

*gets hit by the pommel because Jack sucks at throwing swords* No! Because now I've been pummeled in the most literal sense!

My package is out for delivery! I may develop a sudden illness and have to leave work... *sigh* no, no I won’t. But tempting.

I had an apostrophe last night. There is no bad miniature painting. Some people are just technically more skilled. All miniature painting is good.

Morning, all. Hope everyone has been doing well. I just recently returned from my first cruise. Got to see some cool stuff in Costa Maya, Belize, and Cozumel. Glad I got to do it at least once in my life. Now I'm working on getting caught up on life and work stuff. Note to self: page 344

Its now out for delivery!!!

My package arrived!

There will be no picture of me in a box. There may be a cat in the box, if he cooperates. If we are quite lucky, and my wave 5 pledge gets here at the right time, there might be a baby in the box

Missed some stuff, here's the actual finished work.

<throws gladius at Unruly's head, yells, "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!">

No shipping notice for Bones 4 means more speedpainted figures: 1 Bat demon (Nabasu), 1 Blackstar Corsair Echo, 1 Bombshell Robot, 1 Hellcat, 2 snakeman warriors, 2 vulture demons (Vrocks), 2 vulture demons (Vrocks)

Ok, so I am about 3 hours in to assembly but think I am done for today. Not a a big fan of how the dragon turtle sits on the flight stand. I love the frost giant raiders. Love the snake people and giant snake. I hate the hand/rock/pig assembly in the troll. This is is a lot more work than previous bones... still so much. I haven’t opened any of the expansions or core yet. Just assembling add-ons and extras first.

Yesterday I finished inventorying my Kickstarter packaged ( celebrated by a pic of me in the box). After 31.4 lbs of piecing together every figure, I only ran into 2 issues: half of Paint Set B was actually Paint Set A (as has been reported by several other people); and for the High Rollers set, the D10 fellow had the base for the D12 figure (the D12 figure itself had the correct base). The last part makes sense, considering that those two figures are the only ones in that set where the bases are not connected by sprue to the figure. Emailed Reaper last night, they've already sent the replacements for them (and gave Mama-san scritchies for me while she was supervising the help desk). All in all, that's an amazingly small amount of issues for such a small undertaking, and I want to thank Reaper for doing such a fantastic job getting through this with a minor amount of issues on my end. True, it's not fun having to wait for a little while for issues to get ironed out before they were able to get shipped, but I appreciate the fact that there are far less issues after receiving the package than I had with Bones 3. Not to mention that I didn't have to pay import duties for such a huge package, that would have bankrupted me. I hope everyone enjoys the figures when they get them as much as I do!

Welp... I can't use any more Thursday quotes. Thursday's all but wasted now... My bones shipped today And should be here Friday

All the paint discussion made me go back and check mine. I didn't think there were any errors since I had 4 boxes of 24 different paints, I even shared pics here. After checking I still got all the new paints, but there was definitely some oddities. Paint set A: These came in two boxes, labeled 2A and 2B, divided as shown. You might think Paint set A would be labeled 1A and 2A, or even 1A and 1B, but you would be wrong. Also, 2A is titled (on the box) "Master Series Paint Core Colors" and 2B is called "Master Series Paint Pathfinder Colors" Paint Set B: Paint set B contains 1A and 1B, divided as shown, in a decidedly different grouping than set A. And 1A is labeled "Master Series Paint Pathfinder Colors", 1B is called "Master Series Paint Core Colors". Also of note, it looks like Ancient Wood received a last minute name change to Ancient Bark. I'm still very happy with my paints, I got everything I ordered and have no complaints. But it does look like they have some issues with their packing system. For reference, here's the original post I made with paint pics:

Oh, and for those who ordered the dreadmere expansion and not yet got it yet, BMC showed dreadmere laid out, and the two frogs are different, one is mouth closed and the other is sticking it tongue out:)

Welcome back! Travelling is great, seeing places, meet people, eat their food, they get angry because you ate their food, you move on...aahhh the good life..

I think this would be a cawcophany of crows. I think you mean you've been "pommeled" :)

Wait???? you have multiple expansions??? in hindsight, I should have ordered a second core set. Hmm, I think they got your decimal point in the wrong place, that must be 42.0

Ahhh, yep, my postage notification was in Spam too! Poor email. My box should be arriving at my in-law's tomorrow!! Time for a dinner date over there! He's a baby.

Yup, mine on the truck also! Happy day for a few of us!

My box is on the truck for delivery today

So how many Rocs *did* you order?

Like Doug, it's impossible to say. I've seen a lot of really cool things and been to some very interesting places. Forced to pick, I'd say that random spot in the North Atlantic where I got to see the Aurora Borealis completely naturally with no man made lights anywhere.

I was gonna say it's the highlight for a certain drow skintone that's a tad hard to find.

I'm pretty impressed with Reapers daily packaged amount. I remember peak for a full day use to be, what 1200. Now half days are near 1000. I firmly expected 500.

Not trying to be pedantic but technically he has been pummeled by a pommel. GEM

I declare henceforth that the words "epiphany" and "apostrophe" shall be interchangeable in common usage. I have spoken.

Too many places on the list but among them... Manmade: Doune Castle in Scotland. It is where a famous Monty Python scene regarding hamsters and elderberries was filmed. It tried to be a square castle and failed. Nature: Yellowstone. It isn't as much memorable, as much as the feelings around it of being in an awe inspiring place. I first went there when I was 8 years old, and was so engrossed that I forgot to bite my nails. I was a compulsive nail biter going in - haven't done it since.

Received the wife's new laptop today, and one of three boxes that makes up the home gym we ordered. Tomorrow will be the Reaper Bones box that got delayed three days for weather after I paid for them to delay it. And hopefully the other two gym boxes. Need to wait ten more minutes then I can let myself sleep.

Woohoo, my 45.5 pound box is here and I'm digging through it. Question, does anyone have the link to all the pictures? I cannot read the paint sets on the kickstarter page. --- edit --- I found it! http://www.reapermini.com/bones4
