completed Reaper Bones 4: Enthusiasm and Commentary Thread

[BroadwayG]

I got my wave 6 shipping notice and I had the Frost Giants.

[Smokestack]

Ok, I have everything assembled except the 2 core sets and my 2 barges. 

 

Only missing 1 item and partially missing another.

 

only 2 damages. Mumlaks tusk. Which I was able to glue back on. And one of the tentacles on my displaces beast that I wasn’t. I am not gonna ask for a replacement though. Not a fan of the translucent material. It’s very brittle. I doubt I will be using the translucent stuff anyway. Other than the fan favorites portal.

Wasn't Argent supposed to be bigger? "12" high!" It's hard to tell scale from here, and my Ma'al is currently at my DM's house so I can't look at him right now for a better idea.

 

Thanks for any info.

 

Also, that is a beautiful paint job on Ma'al!

 

Thank you kindly!

I was having the same thought. I didn't measure mine, and didn't really think about it when I was inventorying my box, but I do remember the claim that Argent would be a foot tall. I'll have to measure mine when I get home, if someone else doesn't beat me to it...

 

NOTE: Ruler is 10 inches tall. Tallest part of him is his left wing, which is 8 inches tall. 

 

 

Wingspan is about 14 inches, though. He's a big boy! 

 

Let me know if more scale pics are desired! I'm going to be leaving him as he is for a couple days lol.

 

Huzzah!

So at this point it looks like Tree of Despair and Baba Yaga's Hut are the order killers. At least once the restock, they should be able to burn through those items pretty quickly.

Im wave 7 with frost giants so Im guess im in for the long wait

Not much longer. It got to the port of LA I think.

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.

That’s the spirit.

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.

I am curious to see what will happen to the counter when they go back and catch up.

Just got my shipping alert (Wave 6, none of the problem sets) :) Am excited I will be able to complete my mashup for ghost ship and ghost pirates!

Me too. I hate to say it but I was hoping things were going to go a little slower so it wouldn't feel like quite as much of a wait for that container.

 

I can do this though!

That makes me hopeful

The plus side, is at least we know we won't have to wait too long after the container arrives. I'm glad they got to my wave (6) beforehand, because I know they'll get to my order within a few days when it gets there, instead of having to wait for them to catch up and then finish a few more waves.

No. Not exactly what is happening.

 

Remember I am no longer official, I am a volunteer, so take this for what it is worth.

 

Orders unable to be filled due to lack of product are not partially filled and stored waiting for that Container.  They would require too much storage space. Too many chances for that partial filled order to be lost, spilled, forgotten, shipped incomplete.  

 

Those orders would be filtered out of the pull list and left unfilled until the Container arrives. Then the filters get reset and those earlier waves pop back to the top of the pull list.

 

I say this as it is how things were done last fulfillment.  There is no stack of wave one orders that are partially filled waiting for huts.  The orders are just filtered aside and not pulled until the product is available. 

 

I readily admit I can be wrong as I am not there or in a communication loop.  Knowing how the system works from a coding side of things lets me make this educated guess to aid in managing expectations.

OK so I brought some minis to work to Show off and a co-worker saw Dance of death and notice the two dragons  holding hands. She asked if this was a " a prelude to intimacy". I first laughed but ... maybe it is a mating dance???????? Now Im thinking I should paint the dragons both red!

Ooh, my old hometown just went by on the tracker. I wonder if if was someone I know? 

 

Full disclosure here:

I am not interested in using Baba Yaga's hut with the chicken legs - I want it for scenery only. 

Took about 5 minutes to get the first leg off. This is the saw I used:

 

yes, I damaged the underside of the hut a bit. I don't care, because I'm going to put a small layer of Magic Sculpt on the bottom to blend it in with my scenery. But here's what you'll see:

 

 

That leaves me even less hopeful about having attachable/detachable legs. It's possible to pin something like that but would be a hassle especially if I want them non permanent.

Maybe you should paint one red, one blue, and paint a set of Rocky the Red purple.

Actually, with the recesses like that, you just need to glue some rare earth magnets in the hut and the legs and you're all set.
