20/0 spotter

 

  20/0???

 

 So, that's got like, three bristles on it?

 

I dunno, it has more than my 30/0...

[Mad Jack]

 <cuts all but one bristle off an old brush, paints "50/0" on the side, sells it to dsmiles>

So I had placed an order with Reaper shortly after getting back from ReaperCon. It was mainly to get the t-shirt but also to get two minis and a bit I missed while I was there. So I got:

 

P60035B: Bow and Quiver $0.63 x1

14304: Logrim, Dwarf Captain $7.49 x1

14608: Gorak the Ravager, Barbarian $7.99 x1

01729: ReaperCon 2015 Shirt XXL $24.99 x1

 

Well, it came in today with a little surprise. I opened up the box and saw a bottle of white paint and wondered what it could be. Picked it up, read the label, and squealed like a little girl. It is Sophie Silver! Nice little surprise to have and now I do not need to worry about using my first bottle up.

Ooooooo you're getting my hopes up!

The last couple orders (Halloween, 12 days) people were talking about getting sample paints, and I got all excited... Only to have my hopes dashed.

 

Doses this girl dare to dream?

And I think next year, instead of wirrying about bothering someone, I need to use a secret shopper... Oh wait I might be able to be there this time.

So, I know some folks have had problems with frpgames, but other than a single 'the princess is in a different warehouse!' issue, they've been fine for me. And their current clearance list has stupid amounts of RAFM (and other) stuff at 90% off, so I kinda failed my willpower check, and the following is on the way -

I hate you!  Well, at least my wallet does... Also, some of the ones you listed are not available anymore... although I did find $40 worth of (90% off) items to buy...

Sorry not sorry? 😆

 

Some of the things on my list I definitely got the only one available, yeah - often there's only one or two of an item at the discount.

[pcktlnt]

looks like a clearance on west wind, rafm, and taban miniatures.

 

Dang...even with seventy five percent off, that scibor bust is out of my price range. O_o

New acquisitions last night - Ribbons from OneBoot! I'll put them in the next BoGW for those who don't have her ribbons and weren't able to get to the Con.

[OneBoot]

i have good friends

 

good, precious, onebooted, poison-spurred, klerg-themed friends

 

 

And Tiamacrab and husband of Tiamacrab.

 

I'm glad you like your melt loots and that it all got to you okay; acquiring everything was a bit of a logistical nightmare, lol.

 

I that they were the results of the shoppers using Aards melt credit to shop the boneyard for her.  The giant packs are filled with multiple (dozens, scores?) of miniatures.

 

 

Yes, most definitely scores.

 

I received a package from my SingleBootedNinja today 

 

As you can see, my WarMouse busted out of his package. I think he also vaporized the base which came in the package, because I can't seem to find it...[/img]

 

In addition to 9 of the exclusive paints I was also sent neon yellow, dirty bone, graveyard bone, and rattlesnake leather, which I did not have 

 

 

D: Oh noes! I didn't even think to check to make sure that everything that was supposed to be in the blister was there. From looking at mine, the base is just a standard, round, black Reaper base, which is easy to replace. Is his jetpack there at least (it's a separate piece in my blister)?

 

Glad you like your "Sample" paints!

 

 

It was my favorite of the exclusive minis as well.

Yay! I had a few spare minutes on Sunday and stopped by the Reaper booth to see if they'd restocked on any of the paints, and I noticed that a Reaper employee had just walked up to the counter and dropped off a small box of minis. I noticed that they said "Reapercon 2015" on them, so I inquired whether they were for sale. She said yes, so I nabbed one real quick cuz I knew you were interested in other Con exclusive minis.

 

In other news, I has my box o' loot now!!! Pics to follow.

 

Huzzah!

OneBoot, I want one of your ribbons. How can that be arranged? As a memento of the nice forum times...

She sent me quite a few. I could probably mail one to you in the form of a letter to Argentina. Shouldn't get caught up in customs.

LOL! I got a roll of Reynolds last week and will experiment more. First feel? It is magic and different to anything local.

 

Happy you remember my supply issues friends!

[MonkeySloth]

Got my Meirce bag of crap today and I'm somewhat disappointed. I was really hoping for more parts to single figures so I could do something with them but it's a lot of repeats (especially Alban) of the same part.

 

From my norse I got

 

blood maw body (no head, arms and feet)

Jotan body (no head arms and feet)

troll body

random spkies

2x random parts of humans

 

From my Abiann set I got

5x magog bodys

3x magog right arms

1x magog left arm

Stone wrapped in chain (this is very useable)

x2 banner

random human torso

 

Haven't gotten completely through the Formroic one but this looks more usable. Got 2 bodies of the armored croc and since it has most of it's head I could use that for a diorama.

 

Outside of the bloodmaw I could probably covert the other torsos with pieces from the Formoric one so I'm glad I got that set as it pretty much saved the whole random miscasts from them as there's not a whole lot I could do without the bits in it.
