Seriously... are you letting worries of tax stop you from getting in on this? Reaper have clearly stated (read the FAQ) that any parcel's value will be declared as a single unit of the most expensive pledge or option in the parcel. Thus, a package with 3 vampire levels and extras for another $300 would still just be declared as a $100 shipment. Join up with mates and do a joint pledge and split the customs fees.

To get a vampire level worth of figs to Sweden, it would cost me $125. That's 93 cents per mini as of now (133 minis, not counting Sophie). Say I get busted by customs. That's another $25 on top of that in tax, and about $15 in fees. So in total $165. Oh noes. $1,2 per mini... including taxes and shipping. And I'm not even counting what will be added in the next nine days. NINE days. We've breached two levels today only. With the addition of the awesome "Pathifnder" (sic!) gobbos, I'm sure more will take the plunge. We'll also see more people (like me) adding options the last day or so as they're waiting to see exactly what will be available in the end.

Considering how EXTREMELY cheap the shipping option is compared to other kickstarters, I'm surprised people are actually moaning about possible customs fees.

Yeah, I'm a bit excited me. And I don't really like the Reaper aesthetics to begin with! It's just too good a deal to pass up on! =D

It looks like a great deal and I've seriously considered it, but two things are stopping me.
1. I'm redonkulously broke
2. More fantasy-oriented models than I need.

I have a few of the first run Bones figures and I think they're great though, so for those of you who can afford to, and can make use of them, I say get in on this deal!

I was not going to invest until today when I saw a post on a local Yahoo group that I am on for my state for gaming. I saw now that they have Chronoscope, new monsters, swarms and other very cool stuff out including up charges to get the Mythos stuff as well for 10 more bucks! I am now going to ride the lighting to Friday (the last day) and pledge at the last minute to get my goodies!

I hopped on board myself. I'm not sure why, as I have hundreds of figures in unpainted limbo... I guess it just seems too good to miss.

I don't really do fantasy RPG anymore, so I haven't looked at Reaper's offerings much over the last few years. Seems like there is some interesting stuff in there. For some reason I'm really interested in painting the six armed Marilith demon :P

I'll be 'in' too, just waiting for another few days before taking the plunge.

Just based on several of the figures I could use in Supersystem 3 games and Strange Aeons, I should make out well. The rest of the stuff will be to paint for fun or even trade off later for other things I would want.

I think I'll be changing my pledge, maybe bigger, maybe not   :?

Neotacha is tracking this one for us.  Not sure how much she has pledged so far, but I know she has upped her original pledge a couple of times.  Looks like some good swag.

Heck, even if you dont do Fantasy, you could always turn around and ebay it and probably get a tad more of a return.
Im gona do it :)

If you know you'll pledge, why not do it now? Sniping is rather pointless in this, as the sooner people pledge, the sooner we reach (and unveil new) stretch goals. Doing this will attract more pledgers, which in turn will reveal more stretch goals and so forth.

As it stands now, you get almost 180 minis for $100. It's nuts! I'm contemplating a second pledge for vampire "just because"... Seeing how I'm blasting through my unpainted stuff god knows I really need another 400 miniatures out of the blue to keep me occupied!  o_o

As someone who just cant justify the expense right now...but loves a few of the figures that are on offer...I have a plea to at least some of you to list some of your spares here or on other forums before taking them to ebay.  I would certainly be interested in snagging a few just for the sheer joy of painting them up.

Cheers,

Blue

Goes for me too, or if anyone at Vampire level would be willing to add an extra set of haunts and deep dwellers to their pledge for me I will pay for them now and onward shipping in due course.

I'd love to invest because the figures are great. I just can't afford to do so now. :(
