Sleep is for the weak!

[Reaperbryan]

Who else noticed that Undertaker level graphic changed

 

• Acknowledges customers will be buying it in the big green image, but still lists retailer only in the right hand pledge table.
  
• Specifies the racks are retailer only.
  
• Doesn't yet have any of the Chronoscope minis.
  

Frank: Once the project launches we cannot edit the "sidebar pledge level" any more. So we tried to be as clear as possible in the green image.

 

And no, see specific rewards for details means that you have to read the rewards to see which ones UT gets.

I step away to actually sleep and we make a million and 4 pages to catch up on. Sheesh! Don't you people sleep?

 

To paraphrase Rick James: "Caffeine is a hell of a drug."

[Adrift]

Its all good. Its a great buy, even if you never use half the figs. I am sure there will be plenty of trade threads on the reaper forums.

Agreed!

 

By the way, when all is said and done, I would LOVE to see a numbers breakdown on this. how many people pledged X or more, how many of what extras and add-ons were selected, most popular option, etc.

I think it would be fascinating.

Agreed!

 

Oh, and since I got my last wish...papa needs a set of bathalion drones and primarchs.

Agreed!

Bryan posted on another forum awhile back that there would be a pledge manager.

 

There will be a pledge manager whose purpose is to determine how your pledge is allocated. But, after the Kickstarter project ends, you can only change how the pledge is allocated. You can not increase or decrease your total.

 

I trust that Bryan's post is mainly an effort to get people to pledge their total amount now to help with momentum AND to forestall complaints about not being able to up pledge totals.

We are working on a pledge manager that will allow last-minute post kickstarter additions, but do not want to encourage people to use it heavily. The ability to add a few dollars in case of math errors is important, and the ability to go , "yay, I got paid, now I can add $10 for this giant" is great, but we really want to encourage people to pledge *now* (or at least this week) to help us make new goals. moneys added in the RPM (Reaper Pledge Manager) will not count towards new goals, only new specific rewards for you.

 

That said, we cannot and will not regulate how it is used, so if you end up pledging $1 today and $1,000 via the RPM, we'll honor it.

[Reaperbryan]

Sweet townsfolk! AND a $57k bump to wake up to. Like it. Also, it looks like my question may have gotten lost amongst all the KSflamewar2012 (seriously, thought I was at a monster truck rally, reading through some of that! ), so I'll give it a bump here: do the Reaperpeeps know yet, will the sarcophagus from the dungeon dressing set be two pieces in bones (as it is in metal), or only one solid piece?

2 pieces.

[buglips*the*goblin]

I'm pleased to have that option. I intend to do all my pledging before it ends, but since it is now the 20th and I've seen no sign of my deadbeat compatriots who totally promised to have the cash to me in time . . . at least hope remains.

 

Edit: If any of my deadbeat compatriots are reading this thread, I totally mean that with love. Now pay up.

 

Edit 2: Holy carp, they did!

Billy McBride . . . bring back my Soundwave transformer you totally stole at the playground in 1985.

Hey Bryan, I was hoping you would answer my PM:

"I've been watching the ratio for a while now, and it's went way past what I was expecting. Anyway, what I'm talking about is the fact that Vampire pledgers actually seem to get more minis than Undertakers. Is this by design or an accident?"

 

Or is this something I'd have to ask Ed?

[Miar]

I was poking around youtube on some of the Bones reviews and saw that someone had converted the posture/pose of the Bones werewolf (arms as well as feet). How exactly do you do something like this. Bones seem to flex back into their original positions. Is it a matter of heat or glue? I was looking at the clockwork dragon and though I love clockwork the pose makes the figure more ornamental than interactive for me. Which got me wondering how easy it is to change something like that.

I guess I thought you were making an observation more than a question, I'm sorry.

 

We designed the levels to operate like this, and knew eventually 3x vampire would outpace 1x Undertaker, but were not certain at the outset we'd ever see that point. Clearly, this was bigger than we expected, and it happened.

When this Kickstarter is over, sleep will be for the week!

 

;p

Depends. Hot water will soften them to reposition and then dunk in cold to reharden. This is how you straighten weapons and other little issues, and it only works in small doses. Larger repositions actually require a cut and reglue

[Pally]

How well does glue hold to them? Does it flex with the figure like the paint does or does it crack and come off when you bend the figure?

[Anastrianna]

Hey all quick question on the figure case. How many minis will it hold? I know it was mention before but I cannot find the answer now...
