Level 3 and a whole load of extra stuff for me. Didn't want all the Heritors and Wardens, but I went for some extra dinosaurs among other things.

I was looking forward to this, but now I see the metal figs, and after the quality issues I had with the rogue stars casting and some other bits I've had this year from Northstar,  I reckon I'm gonna pass.
I'm still interesred in the book and the plastic crew set,  just gonna hold off till later.

I must be blind melon... where on the NorthStar site are you able to select individual / additional items? I only see the four level deals.

Once you've entered the code from the Nickstarter page, you should have access to all the Ghost elements... If in doubt, try clicking the 'order' button next to the Heritors or Wardens on the NS page - that should take you through to the additional stuff.

I've got to say, I've had nothing but bad luck on the castings from from my more recent Northstar orders... does worry me a little...

Whilst I have concerns about the size of some of the metal figures, I have had no problems with the castings themselves. Clean and crisp.

One of my mates has passed on his metal figures for me to sell (he does not paint and got them as a bundle in a Nickstarter), and they too are well cast with no problems. Nor have any of my other mates commented that there are casting problems.

Wandering stars, for whom is reserved, the blackness, the darkness forever.

Ah thanks, that's good to hear - just a bit of bad luck on my part by the sounds of it....

Thanks, I was looking for items directly on North Star page, not the Nickstarter page.

To wade in I think the problem is around nickstarter time lots of castings are made so quality does slip so maybe just hold off?

One thing that does bother the Christ out of me is that two of the painter heritors have thin (too thin, looks ridiculous) straight swords that seem to be bent...somebody please straiten them out and take new pics!!!

I'm pretty sure they are supposed to be curved.  There is some artwork floating around showing a heritor with a curved sword, and I think the plastic crew comes with one or more curved swords.  I think they are going for a pirate cutlass or Sinbad scimitar look.

''There is some artwork floating around showing a heritor with a curved sword''

The first in the artwork defintiely has a straight sword.

''I think they are going for a pirate cutlass or Sinbad scimitar look.''

Then they have failed as they look like straight swords that have been dropped, i think the paint jobs dont help as the paint on the swords looks a little thick.
