Yeah, it's the same thing with the Deathsleet/Jabberwock. Some things had unexpected problems, so Reaper wants to fix those problems. Some of these new Bones may have all new unexpected problems. To a certain extent, these are unpredictable in advance. I handled Deathsleet and the Jabberwock multiple times and never suspected any issue at all, from reveal as a goal to in-hand, until a problem actually surfaced. I suspect the errors reported for those two probably also surprised Reaper.

 

The error/reject rate is, overall for the volume of new models, exceptionally low. Enviably low, even. Companies with billions in resources rarely do as well. But, however low it may be, the one thing you can count on is that Reaper wants it lower and is working towards that goal.

 

They can't guarantee perfection, but they can guarantee that's what they're trying for.

*waiting for media outlets to report waves of no-good punks ravaging the internet with impromptu haiku mobbing*

 

"This is an epidemic," user BigDog6895 told CNN, "I can't find news about funny cat pictures. It's just haiku, haiku everywhere."

 

The White House declined to comment when contacted by reporters.

Gauth is such a popular demand that I'd expect him to appear either in the closing days as one of the last goals or if there's a lull in the middle area to boost momentum

So, pretty much any time eh?

 

 

No, it's another week yet before we are even into the middle of the project for a start.

The only way around it is if Reaper marks the package as toy soldiers, which I believe are exempt from duties into canada. I got a bunch of Skytrex historical miniatures from the USA onc e and never got any duty charges. Just tax. They might have changed that now though.

Actually, this might have been a free trade agreement thing. It may not be so much the "toy soldiers" element as much as the "made in the USA" was.

 

Sadly due to volume the majority of Bones are currently made in China.

 

ROW is normally screwed two-fold. First for the costs of getting items out of the US, and secondly for the taxes and duties to get items *into* their respective country.

 

This isn't a Reaper or Kickstarter exclusive problem, it's with every shippable item in the world.
