Without the legs, the chicken shack really has a creepy gingerbread house feel to it.

It’s been two days since my BBBoBs was delivered and I just now noticed the note the delivery guy put down in the record on the  “Delivered” note.

I'm wave 3 and had the Frost Giants in my order; I've watched them get to wave 6 with no shipping notice for me. People are modifying, painting and posting their Bones 4 and who knows how long it'll be before I actually get my stuff. All of my enthusiasm has evaporated.

 

Nah, enthusiasm is still there, as when they DO get the restock, they will be burnining through 2-3 waves of skipped orders a day by my estimation. Possibly much faster, as they said they were going to pull the rest of the order, then set it aside, and return to it in wave order when the container arrived.

 

What I get for ordering pretty much at least one of everything, so if there was an issue, I basically guaranteed I would be hit by it. Not my intent, but definitely the result.

Watching the fulfillment feed I noticed a line/pile of boxes building up on camera right out of the way of the actual packing and addressing line.

I suspect those might be the pulled orders waiting for the rest of the goodies to arrive.

"Customer Man" should definitely be your Reaper title, since you haven't set one.

I'm still trying to sort through mine. I've been finding that I need to stop and dry fit a lot of the minis to figure out if they have all their bits, which has been time consuming. So far I've only found two overt problems, sophie has an extra set of minotaur hands in stead of wings, and the space cowboy has a broken gun.

 

for the most part I'm happy with the minis I got, although there are some minis that are very different sizes than I was expecting. Surprisingly the best mini so far is the blood nebula mercenary who has a slightly better casting than any of the 3 metal versions of that mini I own.

First 2 errors. 

 

Missing the juggernaught from fan favorites and one of my frogs from dreadmere is missing a leg

Here are some I haven’t seen shared yet / much

 

has anyone else a Blacktooth that leans until his jaw almost touches he ground? I have two and hey both have a super lean, but the legs don’t look bent out of place...I resolved this with shoving apoxie putty under the right foot. Just imagine how much they leaned before I did that, since they are still rather low 

[ttuckerman]

I got the Hot Lead bundle.  It is How to paint difficult colors (2DVDs) Paint white, black, red, even yellow areas without fear. And How to paint a better miniature (3 DVDs) one "Basic" for prepping, selecting the right tools and colors, priming, drybrushing inking, washing, basing and varnishing.  On the Advanced two DVDs mysteries of subtle blends, painting realistic faces and eyes, transparent gem effects and NMM.

My Blacktooth also leans.  I had to boil because the feet did not fit in the footprints.

I think they're supposed to lean pretty low, to be taking a bite out of a standard adventurer. I'm pretty sure that's how they were previewed, more or less...

[Skallabjorn]

Anyone considering using this as inspiration for the dragon turtle? Too many cheesy movies watched as a kid, I guess.

It makes sense, but I think they are too low. Mine are propped up a fair ways with the apoxie putty under the foot, they bottom jaw pretty much touched the table before

Well good news is, they are on my wave. Bad news is, I have all 3 "list of Doom" models in my order.  Goblinfarts!

I’m sorry. My Wave 1 box has managed to crawl inside the front door and make it about ten feet down the hall...

 

...I’m waiting patiently to open it [?] in solidarity with ya? 

[Sirithiliel]

Actually their Kickstarter picture has them a whole lot more upraised. I prefer them that way. Maybe I need to boil mine and try to force them farther upright
