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

For me it isn't sniping, it is making sure there is money in the bank account. I understand it draws out only on the final day, but I would like to see my account have enough money that I don't have to worry about a stupid overdraft because it came out before the deposit.

There’s something that I don’t understand though, can we pledge on things that are not "available" yet? For example, at the time of writing this, the Mummy set isn’t reach but can I add 5$ to my pledge to get them?

Sorry if it’s a dumb question but that would be nice to know… :?

If you pledged the Vampire level, you get them with the entire package. If you pledged less, yes from what I understand you could just add them on. Plus if you pledged Vampire and wanted more you could buy more on the extras area.

The key is that they have to hit the mark for the models to be counted to the options.

Like you Obsidian, I'm waiting on the availability of funds... that should have been through a couple of weeks ago! If they come through before Friday; I may well have to partake in this amazing offer.

Cheers

Is anyone concerned about the type of plastic used leading to limbs and weapons that are bendy and not straight?

They are made of soft, rubbery plastic. They paint up well however and are good quality for the price. I painted 2 Bones figures this weekend and I’m really happy with the end results (if I can say so myself). The figures apparently took quite a beating while in the mail but I only had to immerge them in boiling water for a few second, bent them into place and cool them down under running water and they where good as new.

I'm still nervous about it.  In fact, despite not really being in a place financially to get in on it, I was very close until I found out they were made of this plastic.  Is the boiling solution permanent, or will it slowly revert back to its old pose over time. 
Maybe I am picturing something much softer than the reality, but I was thinking along the lines of the Last Night on Earth minis or Dungeons and Dragons figures.   Is it different from that?

Calimero.. Their website says that some pictured extra sets may not be unlocked yet, they are just pictured and priced so you can calculate your pledge.  Besides the mummies are only $10K away..;. ;D

A_Train... I think they are a bit tougher than D&D minis, but dont quote me on that since I only painted up the bones werewolf and ogre and they don't have thin weapons.  But at around $0.50 apiece and free shipping, i'm willing to take the chance.

(sigh) they got me for $198 lol.

I'm going to up my pledge. I said I wouldn't but I will. I'll sell a load of it off though and hopefully get my cash back on it.
