Family visiting this weekend. I'm kinda wiped out. 

Hey! I have family visiting this weekend too!

They’re flying back to Calgary Monday, and received notice for a Monday delivery of their Bones 4.

And I’m getting mine the next day after they leave.

 

It would’ve been nice to have some overlap to ooo and ahh over the minis.

 This is surprise to me too. I got KS1-3 to go check now. (Box hoarder)

Honestly, I don't remember text on *all* the boxes. But do remember some one liners in several Bones 1 boxes. Like a reference to a penguin.

Does anyone have a non-excel list of every figure in Bones 4? Or at least a database of all the pictures of them?

I was sad not to find a pamphlet naming every single model, like they did in Bones 3.

 

Currently, I'm mostly going with the info on the KS page updates.

 

...It's taking a while.

In case anyone (else) was curious, I put all the sprue (except for the Stygian Barge, I left that) in a bag and weighed it.

 

7.3 oz, or just over 200g, or slightly more than 1 hockey puck, in Canadian measures 

 

 

How many HP to the Curling Stone?

 

The Auld Grump - I remember the Canadian Olympic Curling team offering to train opponents for the sport... Being the uncontested champions is no fun when you are literally uncontested.

They're so good they curl their foes?

Thank you! Sadly that’s what I thought. Was gonna have a father and son thing king/prince. But Mamluk looks too big...

 

Still works - think of older cartoons.

 

Short daddy that stays on his chair all day, and much bigger, much stupider son.

 

Play it for comedy, maybe using an Archie Bunker or Danny Devito voice for 'Big Daddy', with 'Junior' being accidentally destructive.

If it wasn't for having to watch all of them open up their pledges while we wait for ours to be pulled, I would probably refrain from pointing out that Canada did not medal in either men's or woman's curling in the last Olympics...

We're very good teachers....apparently.

Unfortunately the Curling Stone can't be used as they are variable, depending on the user's preferences (much like bowling, I believe).

They can range from 38 to 44 lbs, or roughly 101 to 117 hp. (which, oddly enough, is about the same number of pucks the youngest used to carry in his gear bag ...and I wonder why I have a bad back....)

Or for the undead minis, it would be ooze and gauze.

I'm not yet Canadian enough to have a hockey puck (nor sporty enough). Do any of the True Canadians have a hockey puck for pictures, to compare their sprues to? Or a dinosaur? DINO RIDING A PUCK!!

Got a couple pucks from the kids hockey days but no Bones 4 yet. Didn't buy any of the big dinos but did get the Lost Valley expansion for other things. Dinos are kind of far down my list of things I'll be playing with.

I have a hockey puck, but I'm not Canadian, so I don't have sprues.
