  1. Yeah, the tabs on my 2 middle sets are the same so I'm missing the second pair (the pair behind the front pair). Boo. Ah well, this is the only significant problem I've come across so far and I've dry fitted all of the larger models. Apart from one dragon wing tab on Cinder that needs to be thinned a little they have been going together extremely well. I have been very impressed.

  2. Unfortunately my poor Cadirith got a pair of the same legs. If someone can post a picture of their Cadirith assembled, I'll work out whether I bother asking Reaper about getting the correct set or whether I just trim the tab to fit. Seems to sit a little funny with the wrong legs and I'm wondering what it looks like with the correct legs...

  3. Mine would fit okay if it weren't for the tab. I may just cut it off too. There is a corresponding bump in the other piece which makes it look like it just got stuff stuck in the hole in the mold. If you want to separate the pieces anyway it would look better without the tab and hole. The top level seems pretty stable without it anyway.

  4. I am happy to report Bones have landed at households around Australia (well, at least mine did yesterday) and all looks well, although I haven't checked every figure and part but the expansioon packs I got seem good and Khanjira certainly dwarfed poor Sir Forscale. Now time to open Dragons Don't Share II!

     

    Oh, and thank you Ladystorm for your excellent work pulling my order. Absolutely perfect!

  5. I just checked my bank account and realised my dad sent me $500 for my birthday. I got $200 cash from my mum on top of that. Considering the exchange rate looks pretty good at the moment (1 AUD to .96 USD) I basically got a giant amount of Bones minus $100ish for my 30th birthday. I am going to tell everyone my parents bought me miniatures for my birthday. My mum will deny it vehemently.

     

    I has a very happy Sunday. This picture expresses my feelings (and the look on my face, I'm sure) very well.

  6. @Oneboot - those digests were fantastic. The last time I went over to the KS comments during Bones I, I almost threw a fit at all the horrible people on there at the time. I had to leave my computer for a while to stop myself. Thanks for all your wonderful hard work!

  7. Man, I go to sleep for 8 hours and you guys add another 30 pages to the thread? I'm not reading all that. I'm already up before 9am on a Sunday and now I've added another $60 to my pledge even though I over-pledged in anticipation last night. Glad I get paid tomorrow!

    So bryan said 75-90 retail....and the green weighs 7 pounds....

    Well, that seals my decision. I almost died when I added him on the calculator as I must have been at a tipping point for shipping... the shipping itself went up $45! (yet only up by about $50-$55 if I add 2)

     

    They estimate the bones version will weigh 4 pounds...in case you were calculating the 7 pounds instead...

     

    I was using the pledge calculator. No way I'm doing that much math when someone else has done the hard work for me :)

     

    Edit: And just checked my bank account to see how much I could afford to spend, then realised I'm just going to spend whatever I want anyway. I don't know who I was pretending to check for.

  10. And the Glabrezu in the 4e MM does look more like the 1st ed. "canine headed demon". I think maybe where some of the confusion comes from is that the DDM Glabrezu looked less canine like.

    But I just took mine off the shelf and lo and behold he does look more canine than I had thought and does look more like this. (Aka the 4e Picture), and the 3rd ed image he is based on looks more canine than I remembered, now that I look at it closely enough.

     

    So at first I was thinking the new bones version was a little too wolfish, but looking back at the prior sources, I think he's right on target.

    Am I the only one who thinks he looks like he's smiling and waving? This must be the least threatening looking demon I have ever seen!

     

    Slightly off topic but... Did anyone notice that the music Reaper uses in its videos is the same that Hannah Hart uses in hers? Perhaps a "My Drunk Painting- show is in the works? :O

    Yeah, I notices straight away. Love My Drunk Kitchen.

    Also - Note my SEXY NEW AVATAR by Naponatom! BOW BEFORE IT! BOW!!!

     

    I swear eternal fealty to our oppressive green overlord, and beg that his breath may start my intransigent BBQ so that I may cook ribs!

     

     

    You're a goblin and you can't start a fire?

     

    That reminded me of one hot summer christmas morning when I was little, my dad trying to light the barbecue coals with his welding torch.

  12. I would love to see some of the other familiar packs converted to bones. Especially Familiar Pack V http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/familiar/sku-down/02848. Love the turtle. Also familiar pack VII.http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/familiar/sku-down/02948. I want to paint those fish.

     

    .

    I was just thinking the same thing!

     

    I think we can safely assume those are in the works, given the remarkable popularity of the other 2 familiars packs.

    I very much hope so. More bones familiars would make me happy. I got extras in the last KS!

  13. At least it seems Ron and Bryan are splitting the monitoring this time...

    Good. I'm sure I'd know this if I read the KS comments, but they tend to make me feel... agitated.

     

    Edit: got the update as soon as I posted this. Liking the next core addition. WERESHARK! now I can go to sleep.

  14.  

     

     

    I'm glad Kit is getting a bit of sleep, he deserves it (as do the rest of the Reaperites). So far the only issue I've had with this KS is trying to find people who want to buy a kidney, so I can go all in, and get 9 of everything.

     

    Seriously though, I would love to see a certain Runelord make an appearance before this is over. I know a lot of people find the PF minis to be a mixed bag (some like them, some don't), but I was a bit sad when he didn't make the cut of PF villains. However, we got Tar-Baphon, so I've got no complaints. And really Karzoug wasn't evil he was just misunderstood.

     

    I was just thinking.. Kit needs to be awake too? Doesn't Bryan usually do the updates? But now the Pledge Manager is up, I guess they both have to be on their toes each time we reach a stretch goal!

     

     

    It's hardly Bryan or Kit's fault that we keep unlocking stretch goals in the middle of the night, Texa time. All we need to do is find a way to sustain them without food, sleep or human contact for a couple of weeks, and things should work out just fine. ::):

     

    Let them rest now. They'll need it during the last couple of days...

     

    That is very true (and I'm glad Bryan gets to sleep this time round, we had him up at all hours last KS). Now, 9am there was 11:30pm where I am, and I was thinking "Gee, we should get an update soon, its after midnight here." Then I realised... we just turned the clocks forward on Sunday for daylight savings. I'm going to go sleep with my phone again now. Stoopid daylight savings...

    On the topic of shipping, from the update from the KS estimating shipping, I had worked out how much I was likely up for when the manager came out and was pretty much on the ball with the lowest amount (I was thinking $65-$80 and it actually comes to $68.19). The shipping shoots up about $14 if I add a case, so thats going on the backburner until I see what else comes out and how adding a case after that affects the shipping rates. This means of my $400 pledge, I have actually over-pledged by $2.81... until Verocithrax is added to it, that is.
