Reaper Kickstarter

[beefcake]

My missus to a peak over my shoulder when she heard me salivating. - You're not buying that shit, or I'll go to my parents place for a while!.
Win-win situation!

 

Even if you bid. If you sell each mini for $1 you'll make your money back and more and keep a few that you want too. I assume they will all be blistered.

[oldskoolrebel]

Heh, my wife says the same thing. 

Serious, it is a damm good deal. I would not endorse it unless I thought otherwise.  Hell I wish I had stock in Reaper.

OOPS to late now! Looks like I'll Have 210+ reaper miniatures winging their way over here in March.  Oops.

I've also opted to buy some of the optional extras.  Now just to sit back and watch what else comes. 

Cheers

Oh yes. However, I believe that the market will be extremely saturated during the release, so I'm scheming on something else that will bring my money back. And make me look good, I hope.

Anyhow, I haven't pledged yet. Why? Because I'm a cheap curious Swede who loves to see the next item pop-up, and then the next, and the next.
I promised myself that when the amount of miniatures exceeds 225, I'll press pledge and throw curses at paypals rather opportunistic exchange rates...

Don't leave it too late, all payments are through Amazon not Paypal.

You mean that I have to wire my money through some shady money broker related to Carlos?

I would bet there is people still that will trade for them...I also figure a string will appear in March to trade Reaper figures among one another in a swap shop to get more of what you want. I would like more of the corporate guys and some of the other interesting stuff...

Agreed. I'm sure a string will appear. Also there will be lots of people wanting to purcahse unwanted stock I think. I'm not looking to make a huge profit on what I don't want but I'd have to sell them pretty darn cheaply to even make a loss on what I don't want. Swapping sounds good too.
Between this and the Mantic kickstarter I am getting sooooooo many minis over the next year and a half.

And a new update has just kicked in

I am pretty certain that the 'Vampire' level rewards do not include blisters.  The will be sent in a loose bag or something like that.  The 'Undertaker' level, for the retailers, has everything in blisters though.

Also, I would be interested in know how much profit Reaper makes off of this thing.  I would doubt that all of the money from these latest stretch goals is actually needed to produce the models and add to the pledges.  Seems like they are lining their pockets from my outsider's viewpoint.  Can't blame em though, and the deal to be had is quite nice, so seems like a win-win all around.

[Froggy the Great]

My guess, knowing Reaper, is that they're feeding most or all of their "profit" right back into their product investment.

[Timbor]

That sounds like a wise business move to me.  Still would be cool to know the amount 

[beefcake]

I think they said the cost of making the molds are quite high but the actual plastic is relatively cheap. So a high initial startup cost followed by cheap running costs.

Ping! They've just levelled up, adding 2 free Storm Giants to the Vampire level offer. It's getting frankly ridiculous. An embarrassment of riches.

The only riducule thing is that now I have to get the Ice and Fire Giants as well... Although them being uglier than an old mans flobby arse...
