Title: Reaper Blackstar Corsairs?
Post by: Hrothgar on July 03, 2017, 10:40:35 PM

These appeared as part of the Reaper Bones III kickstarter in 2015/2016, and they looked quite tasty:

 I was hoping that, like the other Bones and Bones II releases, they would make their way into general distribution eventually. But I have never seen them on the Reaper website or in the Reaper store. Does anyone know whether they will ever be released for general sales?

Thanks in advance!

Did Bones III ship finally?  It's only just now shipping I thought - so they won't be in retail for a short while still.  I agree they're quite tasty as generic sci-fi fellas.

None of the 3rd wave is on the store yet.  They were still in order fulfillment two weeks ago, probably not done yet.

The Kickstarter has indeed shipped, and the minis from the offering actually were at the ORIGINs Trade show, so I'd expect to see them on shelves soon. I have a set of the Corsairs (yeah, too tasty to pass up), but have yet to really look at my haul. If I ever say I don't have plenty to keep my hobby going, somebody please kick me.

Thanks for the  update, everyone. Am really stoked that I did not miss these. Genuinely excited to get my grubby paws on a set! :-)

Thanks for the info. I didn't back the KS but could certainly find a use for them.

I keep hoping that some of the various terrain pieces from Bones stuff gets released. I've wanted their mystic henge they had for one of them.

Personally, I'm waiting on quite a few of the new Bones figs to go to retail.  Lot of high-potential stuff in this wave, best Bones set to date IMO even if it's been slow to get to market.

Still not on the Reaper store as of today, although they must be close.  Bunch of new metals there, though.
