Why didn't they just go for selling metals? The molds were designed for that I take it. Just simplified pledges of set miniature groups (even focus on just selling 1 lot of minis from 1 mold to make picking and packing easy.)They definitely wouldn't have people dropping like flies. Easier to cost out that way I'd imagine.
My guess would be postage. average weight of a pewter mini like that is easily 40-50 grams, multiply that by the number of models on offer and then find postage solutions that leave your mind unharmed...Honestly, I'd be all over metal for my own stuff if it wasn't so darn expensive to ship.
I think a lot of people got very carried away with the thought of Confrontation coming back.
I just don't understand all the fuss... The kickstarter is for a big box of all the factions... That's what it is... The company, tho not the best at PR, is working no doubt on getting everything ready to produce this box of minis... I don't want them updating every 2 seconds... I want them working on getting me my big box of minis... Watching the forum comments makes me never want to do a kickstarter... So many complainers who probably don't even have a pledge or have just sunk in a whole whopping dollar...
Most of the dropped pledges seem to have fallen into the €1 pledgeBut, SD have "calculated" an option that allows backers to pledge only for the factions they want. It is a stretch goal target set at 1.25 million euros. But you will only get the basic faction figures, none of the ones added to that faction in the big box by previous stretch goals.No problems with that, no siree, none at all.....
