Would it help people swap figures they dont need for ones they do? Or would everyone want to unload the same 4 figures and hope to snatch up a different 4 figures? buckyball Not a huge fan personally. I like the randomness and surprise factor the larger variety can bring. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find enough folks interested in a themed swap box you could certainly do that separate from the Box of Goodwill exchange. However, I don't understand how it could be made part of the BOGW exchange. We have differing interests, but the variety in the boxes usually means we can all find something we want while only a portion of us may find a specific theme, like pirates, of interest. I also wonder how you would handle starter boxes since none of the existing boxes are themed.. I did a starter box from scratch this round, but I could not have done so if I was limited to figures of a specific type. (It took about 150 figures). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a Secret Santa, but not. LOL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep an eye out for an announcement in the forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Chaoswolf Posted March 26, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2021 I think a themed swap box would probably need a much broader theme (like 'fantasy' or 'sci-fi') to work at all well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may be right. But I doubt there would be enough people interested in the sci-fi only box. I could be wrong, and with Stargrave coming out next month it may have enough current appeal. But long term most people are going to gravitate towards fantasy buckyball 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangaroorex Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) I hope not, I know my circuit hasn't finished because I'm at the tail end. Anyone know what happened to @TGP? I lost track of the thread for a while Update: tried to PM and I can't send one to him. He may have tried to reach me and it never got through Edited April 1, 2021 by Kangaroorex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) It is still on my desk. I lost a whole week here recently. My back freaked out and stopped me from doing anything at all last week. Been playing catch-up this week. Last picture I posted was... ...a little tank that got selected? Nope, it was the mystery Gnolls that turned out to be from/for the Frostgrave game. That was back on page 18. I am failing to keep track of thread also. Edited April 1, 2021 by TGP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my end, feel free to ship that system out whenever you get around to it. Hope you are feeling better. I can understand how pain can just suck the life out of everything you do! I didnt want to be holding you up and I havent been really good at identifying everything that comes through my inbox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lidless Eye Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I can't find it in the thread if it's been discussed, but at this point I'd throw my hat in the "not doing Round 11 until after Bones V's arrival" ring 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator LordDave Posted April 9, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) In the effort to slowly get my backlog under control, I have been trying to paint things as I get them, and a few more from the backlog each week. With that in mind, I have painted all of my picks from the BoGW. Here is a collage of most of them. Mostly speed paints, some kinda rough, but they are done and many have hit the game table already.
