R2ED Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Since this is my first Bones participation, i has a question on deliveries. What does the delivery process look like? I imagine it's going i be pretty much on time for April (praying for earlier). Once the packing begins, is there anything we'll be notified of? Do we get tracking numbers once it's shipped or are there? Is there any chance we'll have to pay more than what we already paid for? Lastly, for those of us with big shipments, basically all of us, is this one giant box or multiple boxes expected? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastly, for those of us with big shipments, basically all of us, is this one giant box or multiple boxes expected? If it is anything like Bones 3 and 4, firstly they will have a webcam set up on twitch as well as a website showing them packing things up (twitch) and showing where and what group they are shipping to. @Reaper_JonCan you verify if this is happening this time? You should get a notification from the same email (robots reaper email) you get when a regular shipment is on it's way to you. You will not be charged more UNLESS possibly you have moved. (Jon please verify) OH YAH! it's ONE huge box! My youngest was able to close the lid on himself it was so big:) You want to see my unboxing from 4, it's over on youtube:) 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Palmer Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) The best thing in past years has been the shipping tracker website which posts the current wave that’s being worked on and the latest city to receive postage for a shipment. People have been know to camp on their computer for hours waiting to see their town flash on the screen! It's addictive! EDIT: Ha! The Bones 4 one is still up! it shows how many orders were shipped that day and how many orders are remaining as well! https://forum.reapermini.com/ks/?fbclid=IwAR1F9gSGawOjb5BgxSCUMvzPzb6pOo4RFgnycCMk_E1J5uckkJoSpnDtCsc Edited January 19, 2021 by Chris Palmer 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2ED Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 @Reaper_Joni don't know how you're juggling the workload and being in here simultaneously to satisfy the customers, but it's truly amazing. You never say more than you need and you keep the answers concise without vagueness. Your work (and the team's, but to mention the community support) is appreciated. Also - I'm so excited. And i just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and i think i like it. T-minus 11 weeks... 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Jon please verify) Yes it takes into account whatever address is in the Reaper Pledge manager, so if you are moving i would change it before we start shipping! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then when Wave 1 folks start receiving their boxes, and posting photos of the stuff and unboxing videos! Be careful getting too excited now or your head might explode later!

R2ED Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 @Chris Palmer oh don't you worry. I already laid down tarps and plastic shielding in the office for any possible splatter, shrapnel, or other body functions that may prove too much to control. It basically looks like a Dexter kill room in here. I've warned all family members that i might be on edge for 3 months. I've bought Depends and wet wipes. I'm as ready as i can be. Let's do this! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2ED Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Not that i want to know... but kind of do. Does anyone have the price lists of KS vs Late Backer anywhere? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billeecats Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Out of curiosity, if you bought, say, one of everything, how much glue are you going to run through? (Edited to add: Cannot believe that *this* is what finally got me curious enough to stop lurking...smh.)

strawhat Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I would just start with what you've got laying around the house. If none, go to the store and get one. You can always go back if you need more, and you may not want to assemble everything in one shot. Painting can sometimes become more difficult once the model is fully attached. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Edited to add: Cannot believe that *this* is what finally got me curious enough to stop lurking...smh.) Hard to say. In the past, many of the KS minis were already glued and assembled. After much demand, they don't come pre-assembled (as often), so you would need some glue. Now cyanoacrylate "super" glue is standard use; but it's pretty well known that any tube can go bad quickly when not used. So how fast you assemble your stuff will have an impact on how much glue you use. And at the same time, many models don't require any assembly at all. Then comes whatever modding or basing you wish to add, which is its own thing. I keep it simple and leave my Bones in their baggies until I use them, so I only glue them when the time comes. How much glue I'll be using is a mystery even to myself. P.S. Welcome to the forum! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
