Delayed Fairytales meet The Hunger Games/Battle Royale

[Jubilee]

Strangely, today a box showed up from UPS with two copies of the game in it.. the first one came via USPS Priority mail.  So now I have a 3rd copy.  These people are so disorganized.

[Smokestack]

I late backed this through picking up a dropped pledge... So I should be getting the game... maybe? I think... So it is possibly on its way to me or not... maybe... definitely possibly... I think. Maybe?

[NomadZeke]

I late backed the nutcracker Prince...hope I get it soon

[Lidless Eye]

Dang, that's a nice Baba Yaga sculpt.  I hadn't even realized she was in this.

Maybe it's the curse of cool Baba Yaga minis...the project creators always seem disorganized.

It looks like he successfully sold the rights to the game mechanics to make up some of the shortfall.

Had an interesting mail from Greenbrier Games today stating that they, like the backers, are unable to contact Alex Lim. This is worrying as GBG are supposed to be overseeing fulfillment

[Godfather Punk]

Well, Frak!

Haven't received anything yet, I'm not sure that anyone outside of the US got the Sacred 40

I live in Brazil and received the Sacred 40 a long time ago. But that was it, no cards, no new minis, no game box, no nothing...

[Smokestack]

I was a late backer. Bought someone else's (actually 2 pledges) I received the sacred 40. Have to say I was not impressed by the material or size of minis. That was many months ago. Nothing since. I don't get updates but have sort of followed along. So I guess that sacred 40 cost me $240. Oh well at least I got something.

I received the sacred 40. Have to say I was not impressed by the material or size of minis.

 

I'm baffled at why they chose such a strange size, when there are so many established sizes that would enable wider use of the figures.  To their credit I think the size was listed in the FAQ on Kickstarter, but it definitely wasn't well advertised.  I didn't find out about it until I received my Sacred 40 figures last year, and was surprised as the scale.

 

I was looking forward to some of the horror figures (especially Slender Man) as a gift for someone...

[Beagle]

I just can't decide whether this was a scam all along. 

[Darsc Zacal]

I dunno, but the lack of interest in info on the minis themselves that the project creator and most of the backers posting in the Kickstarter comments section shared had me baffled from the very beginning.

[Beagle]

I really liked the concept and I liked the look of the minis....it's a shame that I never received any so was unable to make comment.

 

Nice to see you by the way Darscy, I find that our paths cross less often these days, and you were always one of my favourite people on the boards...after myself of course

I tend to stay out of beekeepers but I've seen you're more active there Beagle.

Real life has left me with less time to visit the forums lately. When I do it's usually to deal more with Modstuff than funstuff.

Hoping to change that once things have settled down for me.

 

Also went back to reread the first few pages of this thread. A lot of warning signs were there about where this Kickstarter was headed.

I'm staying away from Beekeepers from now on.
