Yah that's what I am thinking too. Unfortunately at this point, I'll probably have to stay with my low pledge and pray things get better so I can bump up for a lot of what is available before July comes.

 

My tax return (if I get any) will probably be how I get all what I want (or get my Ebay sales moving). Unfortunately things are bad right now, to the point I have had to file one of those B things:( not even sure how the next month will play out. Everyone please pray our family gets through all this BS this month. Thanks everyone!

 

Sometimes life is more important than toys. Toys can come later. 

 

My husband tells me this all the time. I don't want to believe it. I still think in terms of "but it's sooo much cheaper now! I won't be able to get it if I don't get it NOW!" And that thought is wrong. I may not be able to get as much, and maybe not as much as I want right now, but there is always later.  People have to take care of themselves in the here and now. 

 

Besides these are just things. As much as I intend on building a pyrimad and surrounding myself with my minis, the truth is, I probably won't be able to take them with me.

@Sirithiliel do you want with or without Elephant? I am curious. Not advocating for or against either option. Also, what wingspan does it need to have to consider it a Roc? (Could somebody just sub a 1:1 scale Raven to use as a Roc?)

 

I thought they once did a sea serpent in separately based pieces. Tail + U shaped half coil + Head. All based emergent from water. That would be cool. Add additional U segments to create longer serpents. 

 

I liked your pirate Gnolls drawing. 

 

I can build that boat. Still nice to have as a timesaver. Building a boat that nice takes time. 

 

Multiple barrels of fish would be nice, also crates, tabled fish, fish on smoking racks...

 

Also, additional boats. Like a pirate longboat, armed with swivel guns. Or a small pinnace with a nine-pounder Cannon mounted forward, a barge would be good, or maybe a keelboat. 

 

Additional things of gruesome, I am not much of a fan of those. 

 

Interchangeable elephant, gondola, and MOAB.

 

IIRC, Ral Partha did a multi-part sea serpent. 

 

And I'm right there with you on the rest.

I'm not sure how the whole, "extract all the brain through the nose with a hook" thing works out in the afterlife. But hey, "dead" already has its own problems. Might not be any worse.

Has anyone else been in the pledge manager and noticed that amazon statues are already an option to buy?

I love watching it tick up! We should get the next goal by dinner time! 

[DMAgamus]

I was trying to limit the budget to 200, but with the Dreadmere expansion... I guess 300.

They put them in to help calculate what you would need to put in KS to get them.

 

I also think they are not remotely worried about making that level.
