Sadly, just waiting. Hopefully the boat is fast, so y'all get your goodies soon

Does anyone know when the ships left the US heading for the UK?

Estimating between 6 to 8 weeks for a journey like that?

 

There’s too many variables. 

 

Is it leaving the container terminal at Houston, Savannah, Charleston, or Virginia?  Is the ship it winds up on a 10, 17, 23, or 27 knot ship?

There are way more variables than just those two...

It *feels* like that tracker should move today.

Well, are we feeling lucky today? 

 

Maryland needs Bones!

 

 

Need to go put on the coffee pot for the Hamster...

*slurp*

 

Okay, let's see some action today!!

Based on a Facebook post on the fan page, I think they might be fixing Canadian orders before doing the rest of NA. It seems off though, as I would think you'd deliver everything before fixing mistakes.

Excellent. I picked up two sets as I have plans for Yuan-Ti in my Greyhawk campaign. I cant remember. Were there any of these in the core set?

The Snake cultists are from the core set.

Sweet. That means I will have a nice little Yuan-Ti army to inflict on my players.

That does not not seem like a likely or practical course of action, as notices from problems will be coming in from Canadians for the next couple months and in the meantime the Rest of World orders will start arriving with their errors. I also know some Canadians are waiting for all orders to ship before bothering Reaper with their problems. So unless they let the Canadians know this plan there will be folks waiting indefinitely.

I too plan on using a hoard of yuan-ti in the future and picked up two extra sets to go with those from the core set.

One thing I could see them talking time to address is the paint sets. There's been various reports of the paint sets getting incorrect labels.... I bet checking those all would be labor intensive.

Logistically it makes sense to try to fix any systemic issues prior to boxing up the next 16,000 orders. It did seem like a few people were having paint issues, flight stands missing, and single packs of dungeon tiles. Those and any other systemic things can be fixed easier and cheaper now then later. If thats the case i just wish they'd communicate that

As would correctly relabeling them...

Can anyone post some pictures of Argent, maybe a picture comparing him to one of the previous large dragons.  Also some pictures of the snake cultists.  If they've already been posted just let me know, I've been trying to keep up but i might have missed them. Thanks

Turns out, Argent is big. Who knew? Even the main torso with limbs is huge:

That is a substantial body. It's great that the legs and torso are molded as a single piece. And it is very solid. Also, the shininess seems to be mainly the light. There is some visible to the naked eye, but not as much as it seems in the pictures. Also, similar to the snake, it feels dry to the touch, with no residue as far as I could tell.

 

Assembly was a breeze, though the front wing wouldn't stay attached (just as well, easier to see everything this way):

Argent is so large, I had to break out a second bones art book for a backdrop.

 

Here he is with Deathsleet from bones 1:

Just a slight size differential.

 

Next we have him with a much larger dragon, T'Raukzul from bones 3:

Still a very substantial size difference, and there is a lot more substance to Argent. Still, they are probably pretty close in length at least.

 

Finally, Viridius, also from bones 3:

I had trouble dry assembling, the wings didn't want to stay on. He has a sort of Godzilla vibe going on without wings. He looks angry...oh no, are they going to fight?!?!

No! Look, Argent healed his wing, and now they are friends! They are hugging!

 

Seeing all the unassembled, unpainted dragons from previous bones projects, it's probably not hard to figure out why I skipped most of the dragons this time around. I couldn't skip the king of dragons though.
