The issue with a translucent winged creature is assembly. You'll see the joins. So a shadow dragon would have to be one piece. Which would limit the options of pre-existing dragons being made the translucent Shadow Dragon.

Relevant, from the KS comments:

Reaper Miniatures about 3 hours ago
She was expensive because she was in metal. We allowed people to trade her because of the HUGE negative reaction people had, and in the end, she was very hurt that nobody loved her. We have calmed her down, but do not yet know if she wants to make an appearance here

@Santiago - We are really going to try to have an update this afternoon about the shipping calculator. For the last project, Sophie was not a popular item, but there has been a lot of buzz lately, so we are re-evaluating that as a potential goal within the next 22 days. We cannot make any commitment to her at this time.

@Jeremy - while the Terrasque as a name and concept are public domain, the art from every existing RPG book is copyrighted, and *if* we produced a creature by that name, it would have to based on our own art and ideas, and would not be any previous version.

 

EDIT: Also a confirmation from Reaper that Vermithrax is $15 as per the picture, not $10 as the text says.

 

Huzzah!

Thank you for that information and for navigating the comments to find it.

I disagree. Several of the KS1 Bones that were translucent were more than one part. Oh, sure, if you look hard enough, you can find the joints, but translucent plastic actually does a funny thing when you add glue to the joints; it bonds the parts together and makes the joint *less* obvious.

Germany has one of the largest distribution centres for product coming in for delivery throughout Europe. That's probably why postage to there is cheaper as there's a lot more cargo going there more often.

 

EDIT: Several, actually. Basically Germany is the gateway into Europe for incoming freight, especially coming in from across the atlantic

Yeah, if I lived outside the US, I'd do the same thing as DMFan. You can get the big ones when they are available in stores for a lot less or even reaper online for a flat shipping rate and save money that way, but still get a great deal (even with shipping) for the core set + exp(s) + smaller mini add-ons I'd think.

Likewise, actually. I would have thought it would be cheaper, seeing how you're closer.

 

Well, I would say they are closer (I am, despite my user name, german ^_^ .).

Good for me, it seems, but still surprising.

I can see that, but I would have thought the UK would be similar positioned regarding air freight.

Heathrow is after all not that small an aiport.

Which ones? The only one I've noticed is the Ginormous Fire Elemental. (And that was only because he somehow became unglued.)

 

 

Hmm Verocithrax is 15.....Depending on what is offered I might pass him up not cause I don't like him but because one of my good friends in my gaming group already has the metal version. I want my own but I can pass him up if need be just have to see what all add-ons make an appearance

I'll only still get him if we don't see Gauth. That would make me a sad panda.

I'm hoping and thinking for if Gauth is in here they will give him the Kaladrax Reborn treatment and give him a new sculpt. Nothing wrong with the old one mind you it would just be awesome to see what they can do to him in bones

The medium fire elemental is also multipart. I'd have to go back and look at the green ones to see if any of those were as well.
