Is it 2,000 for the first wave and 1,500 for each wave after? If you have a wagon-load of add-ons does that effect your place in line or is it just what wave you are?

2000 for each wave. 1 & 2 are 2000 each, 3+ are 1500 $100 core pledges + 500 $1 Thank you pledges (plus add-ons).

Edit: I'm a wave 3 $1 + add-ons. Lots, and lots of add-ons. LOL! It's all about timing.

And it looks like backers per wave is different. I see 2000 for the first 2 and then 1500...but then like 500 for waves further down.

My theory is that the shipper pulled another bait and switch on reaper, like last time. Anyone remember this update?

Canadian Orders

We were once again asked by our carrier to ship Canadian Orders all at once. We have done so, and your orders are on their way to the facilities in Calgary and Toronto that will handle the Customs and then process outwards from there. Your Tracking emails work, but may show no activity for a few days as this international transit occurs. Your return addresses will say the facility in Calgary, but the orders were pulled and postage was applied here in Denton.

 

 

Called it.

 

Bryon, did they tell you beforehand that you didn't have to mass-ship the Canuck orders this time, and change their minds(?) when the event came?

Also remember, the other Zones are in the different waves as well. So Wave 1 that's being fulfilled won't be the full wave amount, becuase the other Zone packages have already been pulled and set aside.

 

I thought this tracker was just for zone 3? This is all just academic to me as I'm wave 5 with a lot of add-ons.  I find the tracker to be irresistible but while i await my order with much anticipation and a collector/painters dragon-like avarice for increasing his hoard of miniatures I'm savoring the wait rather than growing impatient.

What i mean is, people are saying there are 2000 backers in Wave 1.

Well, they're pullign Wave 1 right now, but that doens't mean at 2000 orders it will be wave 2. Because parts of Wave 1 were the other zones, and so those orders are already pulled.

So it seems to me that they will get to wave 2 before the 'orders shipped today' reaches 2k, you see? 

not sure if i'm explaining myself correctly, but i'm trying. 

[Dr.Bedlam]

...so how many OTHER outfits rig up trackers to inform their backers minute by minute about pledge fulfillment?

No, that is exactly what I was wondering. The total listed is then for all orders around the globe. My thought was that the 16k+ on the tracker was only for Zone 3.

Good point Siri and100% correct. All waves were capped at 2000 backers but all waves may contain a non-zero number of backers from zones 1 & 2.

My shipment received postage at 3:33 EDT, 15 minutes after I shut off my computer and started getting my stuff together to head home! I guess it is time to organize my painting room - or wait until it gets here. Clearly my destiny is House Procrastinus.

it is for all around the glove.

 

Confirmed in the Kickstarter update:

' Bear in mind that the Orders Remaining number includes orders for the EU and Pac zones, which are not being pulled here, so when we finish Americas Wave 10, there will still be several thousand orders still showing as remaining. This is a feature, not a bug.

Oooh, the tracker's up and our order has shipped!

 

I'm not sure what the controversy was, Reaper has always been fantastic about communicating stuff. Most of the other KS's I back mail me a shipping notice after I have already received the package. But maybe I'm just in denial about how much space we're going to have to clean out for more Bones? Time will tell. I hope we can squeeze everything into a small box and not a colossal box...

Guess I'll be doing the virtual version of having my nose pressed against the glass.

You won't be alone.

73% of the initial 8 waves were from USA. If you add another 2% for Mexico/Central/South America you get a nice round 75%.. So approx 1500 now per wave. obviously a wild guess as I have no idea how many ROW and Canada were in each speciifc wave

For the data lovers, Orders shipped between 2PM and 3PM CST 178 
Orders shipped between 3PM and ~3:50PM CST 143. 
I missed the exact 4PM count due to an appt running overtime.
