Well, my wife mostly isn't allowed to leave the house for at least another month or so, so if you're near Denver and are worried about that, send it my way. :)

 

 

Its a little over 2500 miles.  You don't mind driving them over when I get back??

Well, do you mind waiting until my wife's doctors say I can leave her alone for more than an hour or so?  Probably next April, maybe next Summer.

....Oh gosh, I just realized I need to get probably two more tool boxes to store all my new Bones in. This is going to throw off my whole sorting system! D: /drama

 

Huzzah!

It's already past the point where I needed a new ROOM to store my minis . Seriously, a few years ago I turned the smallest bedroom into a craft room for my wife and I. Even with all the extra dedicated space, I don't know where Bones 3 is going to go. Do I *really* need an office…?

Would you have them all painted by then??  It's only 34 lbs, that shouldn't take too long.....

I have Phoenix Comicon next weekend and I am wave 1. I am betting things arrive during the Con. I doubt could have it delivered to the hotel...

I have often been saddened by the fact I was unable to participate in this KS campaign. But I also realized the other day that, even if I had, I already have more minis to paint than I know what to do with.  I have at least 35 minis that I purchased in the last year, that sit unopened. At the speed I paint, and factoring in a few more purchases, I will be finished with the ones I have around the time Bones IV releases...and I mean for shipment like 3 currently is.

Ah, to be new to it all and think that 35 minis is a lot. I've been collecting for 30 years and the unpainted numbers have slowly grown in proportion to painted every year. The speed I paint I have at least 10 years of minis ahead of me even if I don't buy more. But looking at and buying minis seems to be the biggest part of my hobby.

Seconded!

Got my notification. Only 11 pounds. I feel somehow inadequate after seeing how big other people's are.

US/Canada?

 

EDIT: Looked at post history - Canada.

Just got my notice right now.......only 27.5 lbs.. Gods, I feel like such a lightweight.

I have been on the fence for a while about backing Bones 4.  I have been understanding of the delays with China.  I was frustrated but understanding of the Zone 1 & 2 going first, after all it was only 2 days.  This however may be the deciding factor.  

 

It is looking more and more like the 1 or 2 day delay for Zone 3 will be at least 7 and that the update they posted about doing Zone 3 in wave order was just a lie.  Of course I don't know that for certain, but with only an extremely vague post from them and several posts of people getting their notice (multiples of them being in waves 2 or more) that is what the evidence points to.

This type of reaction is really what a quick update would help quell.

I've waited this long, I can wait a few days more. While I"m eager to have my  minis, I also look at how  much money I saved buying these via Kickstarter than waiting for retail, and do not regret it. They're probably busy, on hands on deck, packing

Golaryn, I am frustrated too. I will say though that even with the delays and sometime lack of communication, Reaper is a good company and the end product is worth it. I am kind of upset too, but the reactions from other board members here (Like Pezler) have calmed me down... Still would like an update though.

[John Free]

If I were concerned with time, I would not have backed a kickstarter.  The time is not the problem.  The problem is when they say they are going to do something, then they should do it.
