Club Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I from a post I saw the other day that the big skeletal dragon from bones one is gone forever. Are any others retired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The giant Kaladrax was "retired" because it was never meant to be that big - after the Kickstarter in which Kaladrax was produced, there was a miscommunication between Reaper and the people producing the mold for it, and the mold was cut much larger than Reaper had originally intended the piece to be. However, Reaper being awesome people, they made the decision to go with the larger size, which cost them some profit on each piece. But eventually, the costs of the extra packaging, shipping, etc., became prohibitively expensive and the decision was made to have it discontinued in its original size. From a strictly profit viewpoint, it's rather amazing that Reaper continued to produce the larger Kaladrax as long as it did. There were a number of Bones minis from earlier Kickstarters that ended up with some casting issues, but as far as I know all (or all but one or two) have been retooled to correct those issues and are still for sale. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetman! Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'm betting that they never did make more of Kaladrax, that all they were selling was the first production run. That is, what was left after KS fulfillment. (I'm assuming that the ones they sold after the KS weren't sold with a loss. ) It's so big that the market for it is pretty limited. It's very difficult to use it in most games, so it's mostly painters and collectors that would be interested. And quite a few of those got theirs through the KS, or from resellers that also got stock from the KS. Lets hope they rescale it and bring it back, so that people can do a 4day challenge... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladystorm Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 77192: Kaladrax has been discontinued however we are still selling the factory seconds 87192 in our online store. 77364: Sir Danel and 77415: Corim are being retooled and will release after that is complete. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lidless Eye Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Corim too? I'm surprised, as much as I was for how clean a cast my copy was from KS3 with how small and complicated his sculpt was! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitri Mazieres Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Is Nethyrmaul, the Undying discontinued? It seems to be out of stock in quite a few online retailers, including Reaper's online store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be out of stock in quite a few online retailers, including Reaper's online store. Out of stock doesn't necessarily mean discontinued. To my understanding, Bones figures are made in big batches in China as opposed to the metal ones which can be cast as-needed in Texas. Once the Bones figure of a certain one runs out, they have to wait on a large batch to travel a darn long way before it can be restocked, so there is a significant time lag. Yes/no? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) I have actually used ole Kaladrax a couple times - once as Dragotha at the end of a 4e D&D campaign (2nd last session, prior to the PCs fighting Orcus), once as the gargantuan undead dragon at the end of the 3e D&D/Pathfinder adventure 'Curse of the Crimson Throne'. However to make it useable on the game board I had to leave off the ginormous tail! Edited November 11, 2018 by Simon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
