No Bones yet.

What we need is a forum member who lives near reaper. Every day, take pictures of the trucks that are leaving Reaper HQ for shipment. We'll go all CSI on the pics to figure out how weighted down the trucks are by their suspension. My hypothesis is that the density of the boxes will change as they ship more and more extras (go gigantic cthulhu). Someone can do a mathematical model telling us how far along we are in shipping!

Napster, is that you?

I got to see my first Vampire over the weekend...my local comic store has decided to sell theirs as a whole. If that's the size of it, and the undead dragons / Ol' Squidface are as big as people say they are, I'm expecting either Oops or FedUp to roll into my office Soon^(TM) with a box the size of a small end table.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the shipment tracking thread has gone quiet because we're big enough fans to be on their forums...I'd wager there were very few middle ground orders among us...we either went big, or scrimped and saved to do "at least something". One other thing to keep in mind: If memory serves, the warehouse isn't anywhere near big enough for everything, so we'll be losing half a day [or more] every so often while they empty out a shipping container into the staging areas. If we have to have updates, that'd be the ones I'm interested in. 'Just unpacked container ^#X, only Y to go!'. It'd also keep things nice and generic, to keep people from getting upset.

 

That said, I'll have 3 milestones I can check in on, and will do so when they're reached. A friend got a Vampire + $25 in add-ons [he traded Sophie back], another got a Vampire but only locked in his pledge about 3 weeks ago, and I answered "What would you like?" with "It'll be easier to tell you what I don't want."

 

Looking over and aggregating the info in the other thread, at last update none of the Bones Add-ins have started shipping yet; it's all Vampires, NotBones, and Vampire Parts. I'm wagering the forums will pick up again once they get into the "you have to order this separate" stuff.

I'd kinda like a forum member who lives near Reaper to go over and check that they're still alive... Kaladrax may have eaten everyone by now.

[ShadowRaven]

haven't even heared anything from "That Guy" Martin recently. Maybe Denton melted in the summer heat?

I would guess that they are scrambling to make shipments move, but then, I can't imagine the loading dock is a fun place to be on a really hot day either.

 

Hope they all stay hydrated.

I did two seperate Bones kickstarters. The simple one only has:

 

• Vampire x1 $100

• Fire Giants x1 $10

• Frost Giants x1 $10

• Forces Of Nature x1 $15

I have not gotten an email for this as of yet. I will post here when I do.

It is 40 days total since they got all the parts in for shipping. (March 29th) -12 days for weekends and -9 days for Reapercon that is 19 days of shipping. A lot less than quoted.

[Gremdel]

Just in case there's somebody out there following this thread but not getting Kickstarter emails. Kickstarter update #91 quote: "tl;dr: We've shipped all we can and are waiting for more stuff from China so we can send out the rest. We'll email when we fill your order."

 

Let me be the first to say, cool, thanks for the update.

And, as just revealed, they haven't received the non-vamp add-ons, which explains why the shipping stopped when it did. Sounds like everything that can be shipped with nothing more than a warehouse of vampires has been shipped.

[mistergreenwood]

Ah, the joys of doing business with China and dealing with Canadian bureaucracy...

Oh well, back to the LTPK in the meanwhile

[Last Knight]

..and lo, there shall be a woofing and gnashing of teeth on the Kickstarter comments, the likes of which not even God has ever seen.

[BroadwayG]

"We have documentation that we will receive them any day."

 

Ruh Roh, this could mean July.

[Kultus]

And here I was going to post about the Kickstarter update and I've ninja'd by just about everyone.... ah the power of the internet, if only it could be applied to Red Tape and Shipping overseas....everything would be here yesterday....

 

Bones me baby!...Soon™

"Now we're waiting on shipment two from China. These containers include many of the larger add-ons...

...We've shipped all we can and are waiting for more stuff from China so we can send out the rest."

 

I suspected as much when things went completely quiet for weeks. I'm glad they've confirmed that they don't actually have the stuff yet.
