Reaper Kickstarter

[eMills]

actually, i didn't even noticed the bad words. And that's definitely not the reason why i found (and i still find) that post offensive.
Besides, i don't want to start a polemic about the netiquette in LAF. I'm quite used to defend (strongly , sometimes) my opinions here, but... with other tones.



beside of that, i get your point, even if not well-expressed, and i agree: nobody expected that date and it's normal that the order was delayed.

my point is: i think that "normal" doesn't always mean "fair". People says that it is, i don't. That's all.


I would like to conclude the discussion now, if it's ok for you. Nobody (neither us) wants a flame here ^_^

(for the resinaplanets issue: I've been chatting almost everyday with Oscar, he is now managing an indiegogo campaign and commissioned me other works, so i'm now freezed with that one! And i really suggest all the people to take a look to what he offers... spanish sculptors are just awesome.

(some grammar edit, sorry ^^")

So, there is some sort of delay.  A delay that probably neither of you foresaw.  Surely you see some parallels there?

As to the Reaper discussion: I will dutifully refrain from responding to your posts here, no problem.  Never intended to start a flame war (nor do I think there was going to be one, but that is neither here nor there).  I do stick to my statements, though I am sorry you find them offensive in some way.

I think the issue for most is that 75%+ have received their's while others are left waiting without any word on how long it will be.

Agreed.  It is an issue.  I have seen at least one person from Australia post that their package has been received, so ROW is shipping.  I think the problem is the USPS being slow picking up again, but I haven't seen any official word on it, though.

I can remember the old days, when stuff took weeks or months to ship from America, and I guess most gamers have come across projects that were delayed endlessly.  The longest for me was waiting for my copy of the Aliens RPG, which took years to finally be published.

Reaper have been hugely ambitious, and they've kept us posted on developments throughout the production and shipping process.  So far I have no complaints, although the final test will be the quality of the minis.

[Braxandur]

I just want my stuff.

As do I!

and hey, if they are shipping it surface mail which I suspect they are.... its going to be EXACTLY like the olden days because ships dont go perceptibly faster now than they did then.

A few months ago some LAF'er on here told us how surface mail worked. They WAIT until a shipping container is full up with stuff going to that country and THEN they ship it.

That is indeed how it goes. However Reaper is not sending the boxes out via surface mail....   My package went in less then a week from the US to Custome in the Netherlands and is now in customs limbo where it will be decided how much extra I'll have to pay for my toys.

Braxandur, may I ask what you ordered? I also live in the Netherlands but I heard nothing yet. I got Vampire level with Cthulhu and the Clockwork dragon.

The containers occasionally work loose and fall of the ships as well

Yeah, it (Vampire pack plus Mind Your Manors add-on) only took 6 days to get here to Australia. No duty payable either.

I am shocked at how well the plastic holds the detail.

I live for the day everyone in general & our own, long suffering Sangennaru in particular receive their Bones Bonanza. Then perhaps, Reaper will get back to issuing monthly additions of the various lines; AND I won't be greeted with a photo of their Warehouse when I access their site.

As far as I know, Reaper started with the larger orders and then gradually went to the smaller ones, where they apparentl still are, or are waiting for the next truck from USPS to arrive.

Probably the package will show up tomorrow when I'm gone for the weekend. Or should I say hopefully, since I'll have the first of my wisdom teeth removed on monday and can probably use something nice to look at

Wow
My Vampire pledge with Chtulhu and some small extras looks like a midget in front of that list!

judging from some of the comments on the kickstarter site if you have enough figures and they send 2 boxes UK tax is happily charging you for tax on $100 + £8 handling twice

I will not be happy if that happens as that will be over £50 in tax and handling on a basic vampire plus a few extras.

Oh dear. I hope that they manage to fit my single pledge into one box then. From experience, I know that the customs are rather unflexible when it comes to the tariffs...

Dutch customs apparently has no clue what to do with the package either, since I got a letter that they have a package of which they can't estimate the value so I need to send an invoice to them stating the value (luckily a digitial/internet invoice is accepted as well) so I'll contact reaper and see if they can send me the $100 invoice that a vapire pledge would have
