Wreck Age Launch Kickstarter

[zizi666]

I have some of their boars and they are of excellent quality!  still need a lick of paint though.

I've got 1 and it's a beauty.
The human figs look nice too, but I'd loved to have seen a better fit for the parts. specificly Dr. Moreau's coat will require the necessary amount of putty/green stuff 

[Commander Vyper]

I did and have in fact contacted them two or three times about it, can't blame me for not wanting to throw money away when I've yet to actually receive a product.

Then take advantage of the situation, the captive audience and pm the creators here on this very thread.

Though there were two boar variants but I'm not sure, received them during a contest

I didn't realise that this was the case....

I'd really expect those intial kickstarters to be honoured before I even considered stumping up for this sorryy. 

That's why I asked them about the rulebook that was seemingly the same book they are asking for funding for again.

I have to be honest, their presentation is among the worst I've seen on KS yet.  The pledge levels give very little indication what one will actually be getting, and there is very little that tells me about the game itself.  What I do see is lots of, "Hey, we have AWESOME ideas and we need your money to complete them."  Sorry fellas, that's not enough.  I appreciate the reply to my critique, but I'm not moved by the 'value added' argument.  As it stands their sculpts seems to be averaging about $9, which is anywhere from 2 - 3X what one can pay for figs from other lines.

I have very little confidence in this KS I am sad to say because I really do think the idea is very interesting and the sculpts that they did look great.  I'll just never pay the money for them.

Looks like I picked a bad day to walk away from this thread. Where to begin?

@Love_the_Lash- I thought the last of our USPS issues were resolved, and i'm the one who went to the post over and over again for it. As other have stated on here we gave others extra minis to make up for the delays when they arose, and I will do even more for you, and I will spend a few extra bucks to send them by whatever method you deisre (UPS, fedex, DHL, whatever). Send me a line matt@wreck-age.net and we'll get it sorted out. I really appreciate that you still kept your post civil. I would be a bit perturbed at us as well.

@too bo coo- I wish the book was out, but we were a bit naive with our initial time frame. I would rather push it back (which I think we communicated rather early on) than put out a flawed product. Lesson learned again for us. It's been one of those years . Sorry you think our miniatures aren't worth the price, I can't think of what we can do to dispel that notion except to put out the best product we can.

@belgian- there are two boars, one exploding and one pack animal. We figured bombs strapped to boars is only a fraction as sad as bombs strapped to dogs.

@zizi666 I just got in those replacement minis (we only ordered a finite amount of the limited minis, which about 30 were lost in the Bermuda triangle or something), so I will be getting yours to you after the holiday weekend. Thanks for the patience, hope you liked the extras!

I hope this goes a way to show that we actually give a damn, because we do.

Yup, just noticed the message on kickstarter last night. And yes, love the extras.

[Commander Vyper]

Can't say fairer than that response. Well done.

Just to reiterate what Matt said, we definitely have tried to right any lost or missing packages that we got mention of, and I've made sure to post constant updates on our original kickstarter about it. Obviously, that doesn't make up for someone not having their minis yet, but we are very reachable in terms of the status of any of that batch of missing packages, and I have personally responded to anyone and everyone who has written me on Kickstarter about it. There are a handful of people that have just gotten in contact with us about it in the last week, and those packages are on their way out in the next few days.

If anyone has any other suggestions about how to make our current kickstarter better, or clearer offering, we'd be very open to hearing it.

It's kind of disappointing to see, but I think the amount of pledges is going down rather than up. Pretty sure when I checked this morning it was above $7,300, now at $7,130.

[msears]

This tends to happen in the middle of campaigns, at least the ones that don't make 100k+ ha ha. Im not worried, it's the final week that counts.

[msears]

We hit our first stretch goal at $7500, which means that every box set pledged for will include a bonus Staker mini.

Drifters bonus minis are up next at 10k! You will also be getting three pack dogs at that level. Fun stuff

-Matt

[greyseerco]

I can hardly wait until $10K the dogs look great!  *keeping my fingers crossed*

[msears]

Thanks Greyseer,

You will also be happy to see that we updated the stretch goals to make them easier to understand- and we may have unlocked the dogs a bit early to make up for some of the confusion.

The update mainly addresses that you get bonus minis for every hardcover book or box set purchased, not one total for each account. So a book and a box set will net you two Stakers and six dogs (there are three in a blister) at this level for example.

[emperorpenguin]

I am confused. What happened to the add ons you could pledge for, such as the carts and the two really cool figures which looked like merchants?

[msears]

We haven't changed any pledge levels, I think you may be referring to the vendor cart? That was some art that was being shown that was a bit confusing in the first place so we removed it.

If things really take off the cart may sneak in there as a stretch goal
