The B3 PM Closed in June, and fulfillment was in may - so about 10 months.

 

But we use the PM to get approximate numbers - with 50% of backers reporting, we can extrapolate to a reasonable degree of accuracy what the final tallies will be, and issue 2 POs. One for "best estimate based on numbers as of November 1 this year" and one in August 2018 that revises up anywhere we were off.

In order for production to actually begin, final sculpts for all figures have to be made/accepted. Molds have to be planned, made, tested. Only after that stuff is done will production really ramp up. Some of the figures will begin production earlier than others.

i believe (and this is just me trying to remember), they are producing the entire time. 

 

Very interesting!  Thanks for the quick responses!

On the Kickstarter comments a moment ago:

 

Yep,  reaper responded and the AusPost api wasn't responding so they've put in a fix for smaller packages when this is happening.

 

Not completely sure if the rate tables are responding yet, but the costs are more in line with my expectations and what i saw during the campaign

So, what we have is a solution that pings for a result from AU post.

 

If there is a result, then the table returns a postage result.

If no result, then we refer to a cached copy of the tables, and we will cache new copies every few weeks. Rates don't change so much in a few weeks that it's a problem.

 

If that fails, we sacrifice a goat.

Very nice update, rautheraus was the first bones mini I actually painted knowing how the material reacted to paint and I was really happy with it so this is great.  And I like the tail better on this sculpt.  Also awesome pet 3 on the barge

Thanks Bryan

 

Although I'm pretty sure AusPost doesn't respond to sacrifice,  that would involve them actually caring...

Woohoo!  Unexpected update!  Stygian Barge part 3!!  

 

Cool!

 

New section in the Pledge Manager for Power Ups!

 

I've updated https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dFN0lQL096zQMq8KG5aXcgrA7-VEIEoU6W-ujck7kj4/edit#gid=142862380 with the new info (with a fake tracking number, 201, for discussion purposes).


I should probably post about this sheet somewhere, since several people have been asking about it. Any suggestions? Also, much editing to be done to cleanup Bones 1-3 tabs.

Very cool!

 I had not noticed  that earlier, but just went to check it out.  My thinking is that if they put in a whole new section, that Rauthorus isn't going to be the only listing there...  Crosses fingers on both hands!  ::D::lol:

I believe you are correct!

 

I actually didn't see it at first. Looked at the bottom for new stuff. Sneaky "hidden" new area! ::D:
