Kickstarter Discussion Thread

I'm loving the stretch goals, but do you guys know how much more of my money you'd have if these were available at all pledge levels? Ebonwrath, the new dragons, the elementals...

 

I really don't want to sound ungrateful or a downer, but I'm kinda feeling left out here.

[Hibou]

 

Why not just figure out what your absolute maximum budget is, and pledge now to that amount? That's what I did.

 

Its not really an issue of the money involved. I think i have managed my pledge like 4-5 times. I have found my self weighing each and every paid add-on against each other. I need to take a couple of steps back from it and concentrate on the stuff i need to do before Gencon gets here.

 

Besides after Gencon i will know exactly what my budget is.

The fact the Reaper is ready with goals up to 4 million dollars is awesome.

 

I have a strange suspicion that the $4M stretch goal is "Ed retires to Tahiti".

There was a pack of 3 Reven beastmen 140013 that got split up into the grunts and a sergeant along with the three and two packs being turned into larger army packs...

 

I can't think of a single one that was completely 86ed. You can still get 14001, 140034 and 140051, which I believe never got data cards. And 140056 weapons pack which never had any stats. These were the first victims of the NICing for Warlord.

 

We dropped some P-65 numbers because of difficulty of casting, but they are still available in the original line they came from. The only hole I know of was filled with a resculpt of 02976: Astral Mauler.

 

If you can, please refresh my memory, because I really don't recall any mainline minis being completely killed.

 

I could be wrong about the Warlord ones, but in DHL for sure the little creature with the 3 pronged mouth is gone.

 

He's back, just altered a bit... The only hole I know of was filled with a resculpt of 02976: Astral Mauler.

 

The Only DHL fig I know was canceled was the cave stalagmite thing with tentacles. I believe WoTC told them you can't make that. IP and all.

News to me! Hum...

Kind of makes me glad I'm not going to GenCon....

Can I get a clarification on the International postage, as the Vampire level sits, it's $25, then +$5 for some of the buy ins like the figure cases, with the rider of use highest shipping value.

 

So does the shipping bump up to $30, of does it sit at $25 being the highest shipping value ?

I just want to make sure I have enough 'left over' at the end to cover shipping :D

[Heisler]

Your shipping maxes at the single highest shipping amount. For you $25.

[Rogue_7]

Sweet =D

[Reaperbryan]

Correct.

 

@Cristomeyers - we are working on something along those lines, but are not yet ready to reveal it.

[Heisler]

Another kickstarter that I was involved with (and not nearly as well run) showed that same sharp upward spike during the last two days. Based on the other data I have seen show up on the comments thread for the Reaper Kickstarter seems to be a very common pattern.

[cristomeyers]

Correct.

No worries. I'm just grousing, I guess.

 

You guys and Reaper Miniatures in general have my trust and support in full, and that's not gonna change any time soon.

[Dr.Bedlam]

...so as of this point, the coin level is TEN TIMES the original goal.

 

Daaaaaang. And we've still got two weeks to go.

[angstpuppet]

So we are two stretch goals from seeing what the tombstone that many think is Rauthuros. Any speculation as to how that one will go? Extra buy in or freebie? Vampire and Undertaker levels or all levels? Like the Ebonwrath level with only that available at the stretch or more like the case tombstone with a freebie and an extra buy in option? Or maybe even like the paint one with two separate extra buy in options? The possibilities boggle the mind. Sorry this one has interested me for a while and I really hope to see it soon.

[Shakandara]

I'm anticipating a Ebonwrath-like buy-in option for Rauthuros. What has me wondering lately is the crypt itself... will it be a stretch goal reveal (and if so, what), or just lead us to the next level?

If I had to take a stab in the dark, I'd say it's probably going to be a buy-in but available to all levels. That being said, almost nothing they might do with it would surprise me, assuming it even is Rauthuros (but I think it probably is).
