It may not even be the finalized version, but the basic info is correct. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are in progress releases that were previewed on the discord because people keep asking. The text about preordering is incorrect, it was copied from last year's formats, they will be for sale directly starting at the con and online. The prices of these pain me a bit..... On another note - I don't see anything on the vendor list that might be them, but does anyone know if the tool guy has a website? They weren't there last year and I have stuff I wanted to purchase but the great river prices seem very high by comparison, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Held out for the usual free one, Reaper send me for running games, but with everything going on with Reaper right now, I figured it'd be best I just purchase one. I hate seeing the goodwill gesture go to waste, but eh, what can you do? It wouldn’t be ReaperCon without the squirrel suit making an appearance. I’m totally down to try out that skirmish game, though I swore those types of games off bc competitive. To a fault. Does anyone know how they’ll be doing the contest entries this year? Will it be like last year where Kit has to work with my phone for 30 minutes so that I can upload my own images? If there’s anything I can do in advance, I’d love to have it set up and ready for upload. Edited August 12, 2022 by Adrift 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have any ready for photos yet... 🙄 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 For those wondering "Super Wash" is Reaper entry into the Contrast-Speedpaint line of paints. Kinda torn on getting the big box this year tbh, I mean do I really want a 3rd line of Speed Paints? I'm mostlly happy with what I've gotten out of AP's line & I've delved into GW's as well. Unless the Superwashes are just a preview & not available for sale yet, it would be nice to see the price of them. There are few other things in the box that have me going Hmmmmm as well. I guess we shall see, but at least we got something to go off. Also, kinda odd that the GCs are Reaper.com online codes vs being able to use them at the store at the Con, like previous years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what they described last night on stream it is not contrast paint, it's a wash, but I want to see it too before I get definitive on it. I'm expecting bottles to cost the same as paint does now, about 3.69 but I have no info on that. It might come out as a set like the holiday colors or fast palettes. DH and I talked last night and we're going to get one of each "box" (because we don't need an extra set of cups, or brush holders, or wet palettes, and some of the other junk) and buy a 2nd set of figures and con paints. I wondered about the gift card, too, but will see what they actually do when I get to the con. Not a big deal for me either way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice stuff for people that want it, but when you have either so much of it or just don't want it, it just becomes "junk". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PammyD2 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Are these the Swag bags that like, VIP and Hotel people get? Or is this something different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something different, in addition to hotel swag. The $79 and $189 swag boxes are what you get for attending the con. Anyone can buy them, whether you have a day pass or a full VIP pass. Reaper is very generous in allowing non-attendees to buy them as well. It's basically all the cool new stuff for the con, new figures, limited edition paint, limited edition items like the dragon bust, extra Reaperbucks to spend at the auction, etc. Some of the attending vendors will throw in freebies, too, but we won't know in advance what they are. It can be free minis, dice, and samples of other products, or coupons for discounts at their booths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrift Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) Game envy has the hobby holder and wet palette in the swag bags and I already own/use them. Edited August 12, 2022 by Adrift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took at a look at their KS page for the palette. I have AP's & tbh, I don't use it all that much. Is the GE one decent? It looks nice at least. *& yes the squirrel is making one more trip down. I gotta be "nuts" for wearing that thing in the heat of Texas! 5 hours ago, PammyD2 said: Are these the Swag bags that like, VIP and Hotel people get? Or is this something different? Yup @Inarah is correct, this is consider Con Swag itself. Just goodies you can get for ReaperCon, as allot of the Reaper stuff won't reach retail till about a month or 2 later. Last year they made 3 box of similar builds like the 2 shown, but with the time crunch, they only choose to do 2 this year. Also last year's was offered like June or July & was by preorder. This year's you can buy & pick it up at the Con, or buy it online & not worry about the weight added to your luggage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PammyD2 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 So what kind of stuff is in the VIP and hotel swag boxes? Last year we didn't stay there and just got regular 4 day passes, but this year we really wanted to be there and do the whole shebang! lol So I have no idea what kind of stuff comes with that. So these other Swag bags mentioned are just ones that we can purchase while we are there at the Con, like, from the Reaper store area?

Just don't go outside wearing it. Not even at night this year. You'll melt. 1 hour ago, PammyD2 said: So what kind of stuff is in the VIP and hotel swag boxes? Admission for all four days to ReaperCon 2022 ($80 value) • One VIP Bonus Bundle including: $20 Gift Card, resin VIP Miniature, resin HOF Miniature, 1 set of ReaperCon Dungeon Dwellers Pizza Dungeon Dice, one randomly chosen Bones 6 Preview Miniature, and one MSP Core Color VIP Triad. • $500 in Reaper Bucks, good for purchasing merchandise from the Reaper Bucks store. • 4 Faction Tokens. That's the VIP stuff. The hotel stuff hasn't been specified yet (to my knowledge), but is typically a mini and a few other small items. Probably $10-15 worth of stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel mini is in the previews section now. Along with a couple others (Sophie & someth8ng else). As long as everyone's name is on the reservation you'll get the hotel swag when you check in. I foresee dice trading during the Con. Also the squirrel suit is hot enough inside with AC, ha ha. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
