pinkymadigan Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Did I miss the cemetary fencing coming out? I see the corner posts, but no fencing or gate. Looks like that is the last of all the Bones 3 stuff I got to make it to market. Is there other Bones 3 stuff we're still waiting on?

Nunae Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 We're also still waiting on the weapons packs. I wanted to buy the graveyard stuff recently, since I'm getting the deko toppers with Bones 4, but couldn't find the fences either. Wanted to buy the weapon packs since Bones 3 released, sadly I missed that kickstarter. Hoping they're still going to be released at some point! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, forgot about the weapons since my tally sheet doesn't count them as minis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple of Sakura Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The weapons have been super useful so far. I got an extra clear-plastic set, and haven't used them all yet, but I definitely would hope to get them in retail. I'd love to see a wider variety, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBluberry Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Making the weapons and fences in Bones Black might make more sense. The weapons were falling off the sprues by the time I got mine, and they were a tad brittle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redambrosia Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Maybe they were waiting to release them in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Jim Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I "thought" I read somewhere here on these forums that the delay was due to packaging. But my memory could just be playing tricks on me...............again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YronimosW Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 That's what I'd heard, too: that Reaper was finding retail packaging for weapons sprues to be a remarkably tricky challenge. For my part, I love the things: I bought a bunch of them, and have found them very useful for conversions, mods, upgrades for the Knights of the Noodle-Blades, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttuckerman Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 It might be hard to pack the weapons on the sprus so they fit with the other parts on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get this. They have boxes for stuff. Just put them in boxes. The retailers will figure out where to put them on the wall. Like the tombstones (which ended up coming in a standard blister, but for some reason took forever to get to market as well), I don't get the hold up. Take a picture, put it on a box. Maybe throw a sheet of that blister foam on both sides to keep it from sliding around too much. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Snack Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 While I personally don't mind boxes as a retailer, I'm sure they do get complaints from other retailers about boxes. If someone has all their minis on hooks, finding a place for a box isn't necessarily easy. You want to keep like product grouped together after all. Plus they can't just use a generic box, so there are printing costs associated with that sort of "quick fix". If the weapon sprues are brittle (as noted above), they need to be packaged so they don't jumble around. It's probably a little more involved than throwing an extra sheet of foam in there (which also costs money). Viridius and Mudgullet ended up in a bag in their blister, but it was likely more cost effective for the bigger minis to do that (it still took a long time, I lost a sale of Mudgullet when the DM who had been asking me for it made it past that encounter).

Nunae Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 The fences are in the store now, the weapon packs from Bones 3 still missing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJames Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Are the weapon packs the last thing we are waiting on? Or are there others still? Edited June 8, 2019 by EvilJames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
