AU, sure... Canada too? Do we have an estimate on how many Canadian orders there were?

 

I don't have any idea.  My belief is based on faith and has no basis on any facts 

 

There can't be that many orders to Australia it's like 85% sand, 10% spiders and snakes that want to kill you, 4% kangaroos, and 1% people.  Even further Canada can't have many either because it's 87% snow and ice, 6% moose, 5% hockey/curling rinks, 1.8% Tim Hortons, and .2% people.

Mooroobool AU just went by...

some Australian place names still kill me, despite having lived Down Under for three years.

I think the US is just the last portion of orders, by itself. So if the number of orders was 48% higher than the number of backers, US should start around 16,000 remaining orders.

Please have a care to limit the rampant speculation.  Things get said in fun, then repeated elsewhere as truth.  Please try to keep to data and what we know so that Reaper doesn't have to waste time answering emails questioning why they haven't started this or that based on rumors started here.

 

Thanks

From the community tab on the ks-

 

 

Edit- So at minimum Canada should be 1238 orders if everyone only made a single order (unlikely)

And the minimum number of Australian hub orders is 971 (Aus plus NZ) - but that doesn't account fo single orders, or the other asian/sout pacific countries that hub is covering. 

most likely scenario is that Australia finishes up tomorrow morning, and Canada is Thu-Fri, or Fri-Mon.

Oh my, it’s time to work on my storage, I guess. 

 

Now that we’re here at the reality two years later, it’s a little disconcerting to realize that present-me doesn’t have a firm idea of what 2017-me was thinking about with some purchases. It looks like my Ghost Archipelago set-up is due for a boost, though...

 

 

[Cyradis]

The Canadian orders were probably multiple that go to different addresses in @Pezler the Polychromatic's multidimensional robe pockets. 

[NecroMancer]

Seems like they tracker is moving a little slower today.  I wonder if that means they have had less PM add ons and the number of orders is actually closer to the number of backers.

Yes, me too.     You can clearly see from my orders too that we were excited to be in the planning stages of our first (2018) GA campaign when this Kickstarter was running.  Now I wonder whether I will be able to get it all painted to use in our 2019 campaign!

Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Reaper Bones!

Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Reaper Bones!

Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Reaper Bones!

Now shipping round the world!

I could be described as fickle and indecisive even at my most sure hobby moments. That being said, If my order arrived right now I would paint one of these two things:

 

They could each be used in my next game session. Other tempting ones are the portal and the Maggotcrown Ogre.

 

I could also use a few of these pigs (how do I not own any pig minis?):

In earlier KS I bought what I really needed/wanted plus a few extras on the maybe useful list. Of course with that I got a lot of extras because I bought the full sets. Turned out I started using a lot of the extras over the years and some of my top picks are still in boxes. So this time I went with more or the maybe I'll use them sometimes purchases. I'm fairly certain I have enough space on the shelves for what I "know" I'm going to paint. Experience has shown me that the rest will pack up even tighter than Reaper ships them once they are sorted into my existing categories and into a couple large boxes under the shelves.

 

The wife and MIL don't know that I'm expecting this. MIL was whining the last time I got stuff about how much space my toys take up. I told her she didn't need to worry until my toys start taking up her bedroom. The funny part was what I'd ordered was sculpting/casting materials to replace what had run out. The box was 5 times bigger than the contents and the contents only took up slightly more space than what it replaced. She was going on about how my shelves are already full. My shelves were carefully planned to hold all the armies I owned then with space for new purchases. Several of those old armies are still boxed up but I've filled the space with things I plan to work on soon and other odds and ends. Otherwise the wife was planning to take over my extra space. Her stuff will never move if it gets placed there so I fight for my little corner.

 

When I finish off an army I reorganise a bit and pull out another army. Just by packing them in a bit tighter I can gain a fair bit of shelf in a few minutes. My only real concern is that I've been making a lot of terrain and plan on a lot more. It takes up a disproportionate amount of space compared to the minis. If I get going with 40k again I might be in trouble with trying to keep everything out in the open but I'm good for fantasy/historical. I may have to go with keeping the terrain in tubs and boxes sometime but I don't like pawing through them to get at what I want if they can just sit on a shelf at hand.

[Talae]

I am not sure how I did it, but with the move, the office became mine. It is 100% hobby stuff. Even that requires a reorganization for when this KS arrives.

Your Tim Hortons ratio is a tad off.  They're like mosquitos in spring, they're everywhere (except when you really REALLY need an okay coffee, and then it's at least five minutes away) 

 

You also forgot lacrosse pitches/fields, that's our national sport!
