Just wondering if you, old west lovers, are aware of this

and what you think about it

I first saw this on Dakka-Dakka, it looks like a lot of fun. That said, I think the buy-ins are too expensive & the add-ons cost way too much. But I may look into it after its regular release.

I'm in at the Outlaw level, plenty of good stuff to make that worthwhile. As for the add-ons, I suspect you'll be able to buy them at similar or lower prices once it gets out to the stores anyway.

I've pledged just to get updates. Looks good. Sadly as it ends just as I'm buying Xmas presents, I doubt I'll be able to get all I'd like to out of it.

I'm following it at the moment. Gonna have the have to make some hard decisions on my allowance this month.

Curious what Kind of plastic they'll use. also, I'm not to keen on the 35 mm scale. Won't this look off compared to the rest of my collection?
Or is their claim that that would put it in the same size as pp and gw correct?

still, good chances I'll buy it at some point, wheter I back it or not. It looks ubercool.

Checked it almost from the start.

Althoug it seems interesting, the price scalade is like a kick in the theet, IMHO (C'mon, from $325.00 to $475.00, really? and ONLY 25 places for each upgrade? really?).

And at current level, it seems it is CHEAPER to get OUTLAW and BUY all "add ons" rather than pledge the "Mine Cart" level (and of course, you can buy ONLY the addons that you want).

IMO FFP will have to reorganize their pledge levels, or a lot of people will withdraw as the KS approaches its end.

And the 35mm scale is an additional drawback for me too.

Lets see...

Best wishes.

Totally agree with Magokiron. By the time I saw this KS, it was already funded (and then some), and it looks really cool. But the only reason I'd back it is for all the extras - but seeing how they've priced it it puts me off. It just seems... unfair. So I'm just gonna wait till it comes into my FLGS and save on shiping. At this stage they've made plenty of cash off the Kickstarter, so a commercial release seems a dead cert. I'll just live without the extras!

Some of the figures look cool. Not to interested in what they seem to be selling as an RPG/Boardgame hybrid though. Also not too interested in the prices at this point. Almost all of what they are showing is eventually going to be for sale, very little KS exclusive stuff on this one so waiting for actual product to be available and only buying what I want at online discount pricing may very well be the way to go on this one.

I have to agree with the above statements. As things stand pleding for only the outlaw level is by far the best deal, especially if you take into acount all the unlocked stuff that gets added in.

Donpimpom · « **Reply #9 on:** October 30, 2013, 06:22:13 PM »

They have just reached the 500k and added some more goals to unlock.
I agree with most of you, IMHO the outlaw level+ a few hand picked addons is the real deal.

I'm not interested in this at all. At 35mm tall they are going to be taller than Black Scorpion and the theme just doesn't grab me.

Looking at the comparison pic they posted with their other board game figures, they won't be bigger than Black Scorpion, they're just more honest about sizes

Theme is bang on for me.

I have no idea about how big are the Black Scorpion ones, but they say miniatures are " 35mm to top", so that means 32 to eyes?, considering almost all wear some kind of hat maybe is 30mm to eyes?
As usual you can't be 100% sure until you hold them in your hands
