We just processed this FAQ and we were shocked by the value here:

Here is the listing:      MSRP

RAF1401 Robert Brown $7.95

RAF1402 Kristina Erickson $7.95

RAF1403 Josh Goering $7.95

RAF1404 Dan Cederman $7.95

RAF1405 Titus Munteanu $7.95

RAF1406 Jody Ellen $7.95

RAF1407 Mechanical "Airship Engineer $ 6.95

RAF1408 Baron Celsius Von Fahrenheit, Agitator $ 6.95

RAF1409 Constance Bashford $ 6.95

RAF1410 Airship Pirates - Pilot X2 $13.90

RAF1411 Airship Pirate Marine X2 $13.90

+ Derek Brown Miniature $ 7.95

+ Peeler #1 $7.95

Total Current MSRP $112.95 + Shipping Included! Wow! And still adding more miniatures!

At the $5000 stretch goal which is only $150 from being fulfilled, a free copy of the Skyfolk Pirate will be added, which will bring the total to $119.90. What a value for only $40, shipping included. So come over and get a great deal on some excellent miniatures.

It really is a great deal.
The original box set was a phenomenal deal, at about half off the original MSRP.  The current deal is even better as shown above.

To be fair, though, I think there are alot of folks who would pass right by the figs at MSRP.  I like the figs quite alot, but I rarely spend that much, and to be honest if I were going to there's alot of competition and some really great competing sculpts at the $7-$8 per fig mark.  It's likely I would have bought the boxed set at some point but the KS is what made me take the plunge.

All that said, the current price-per fig of the KS is $2.66, and if you figure in RAFM's usual $8 shipping cost for the boxed set, you end up with $2.13 per fig, for minis that IMHO are clearly worth at least double that!  That's even cheaper than EM4, and those are smaller figs and much older sculpts.\

Now get out there and pledge!

But wait! There's more! *you KNOW I couldn't help it*  lol

Cool. I had no idea you were a FLGS Owner.  Oh, the perks (and headaches) that must bring with it!

Rather less of each than you think, as we're a large group. Each do a little, some more than others, but herding cats is a common phrase. And I'm not able to get down nearly enough of late.

Quote from: eilif
As for the offer, happy to do it. I've done similar things before,...

Stand down, eilif! I'll probably get some in each way; as I said before, if the admiral becomes real, no probably about it, maybe with more peelers as buy-ins. [hint,hint]

Just pledged. These will work nicely with some of my other steampunk/VSF minis I think. An excellent deal as well.

Okay, not what I requested, but still in.

Did you know the listing on the RAFM store is still "Captian Brown's Airship Pirates?"

Spellcheck, much?  lol

Doug

PS I suppose I should be glad it's not 'Pyrates.'  ::)

New "no deadline" add-on! Only 20 backers needed! $4 gets you two Imperial Marines, useful as WWII minions for 28mm games: Tannahauser, Fortune and Glory, Achtung Cthulhu, etc.

EDIT: Only five more backers needed!

Have no fear Doug, 15 days left to go and plenty of stretch goals still to fall.
125 Backers achieved and second Imperial Marine opened. At this rate we should make it!

Fear? I don't know the meaning of the word! (Damn, where's the Funk and Wagnalls?)

Mad rush at the beginning, and another at the end may be common, but there's quite a fair stretch til he's more than a gleam in the eye. Still, I'm assuming your evil overlords are quite happy.  ;)

Six days left!

Six more backers needed to the next SG!

That will mean 17 metal Victorian mini's for $40 CAD or $35 USD!

Well, there's still til Friday, but now that I shall have my Admiral, I AM happy. Not that I won't be adding for some of the other items... ::)

I did want to thank everyone that helped the push to my personal goal. ;)

Doug

Edit: Of course, if RAFM were to add some more peeler poses... lol
