Sedition Wars Kickstaters shipping soon!

[Achilles]

Got the notice this past week that the Biohazard kits arrived in North America.

I kicked in for the Biohazard support of the Sedition Wars kickstarter (even though I've already got metal versions of the characters). I playtested the Beta a bit and it's a fun-fast horror crawl in the vein of Dead Space or Alien.

I also decided to kick in for the Not-Serenity crew, the Not-Isaac Clark, Terrain and a large suit.

Hopefully splitting painting the good guys and badguys will take up most of my January.

Anyone else looking forward to getting this?

[The Dozing Dragon]

Certainly am although I have no idea what it is the pack any more!

[Achilles]

From what I can tell it's plastic versions of the original Characters, additional Vanguard troopers, all the basic strain x3, two of the large strain, two of the big 'dog' strain and then all the game guts.

Plus the unlocks. Who knows...all I know is I'm getting a big box of plastics to play with!

[zizi666]

Sure am.
Although I'm not too keen on those Strain figures, I decided to back it up after seeing the introduction video. Not so much for the figs, but for the game in itself as it looks real fun to play.

[Eisenfaust]

Looking forward to it too, but I can't remember all the extras I plumped for either!

[CptJake]

I didn't realize the biohazard shipment arrived, the 'official' news said the main game arrived and they were still waiting on the biohazard extras which were in a different container.

I wish CMON or Studio McVey would get better at updates.

[ancient one]

Still looking forward to these turning up.

[Elbows]

I'm still miffed that this kick starter hit when I was extremely broke...I would have enjoyed all the extra goodies!

[General M@yhem]

When is the main set out for general release for those who missed Kickstarter and how much is it selling for in the UK?

[tnjrp]

Given the KS stuff should start shipping to Europe on Jan 4 (estimated at this time obviously), the shops in the UK might get theirs any day after that -- or who knows, even before even tho it's supposed to be exceedingly bad form to give stuff to retailers before KS contributors are send theirs.

No idea how much it's going to retail for.

And as for the OP question, yes damn straight I'm looking forward to this and would like to add that it's about the bloody time when they do get around to delivering too!

[Achilles]

My experiences with Kickstarter have left me with a rule of patience. Almost every Kickstarter I've ever backed (from Biolite Backpacking stoves to this) have come in a bit late.

It's the nature of a start up business to not REALLY be able to predict how and when they'll be able to accomplish a start up project. I'm just happy the products get made!

[Dentatus]

As much as I would have liked to get my BioHazard set for Christmas, I'm with Achilles; lead-times are optimistic guess-timates. As weirdly worded as the last update was, I appreciate the communication. I'm still glad I backed it and am looking forward to a box full of figs and extras.

[tnjrp]

As weirdly worded as the last update was, I appreciate the communication

Right, the main point looks to have been that I didn't remember the date quite correctly (no surprise there) and Jan 4 is actually the assumed arrival date of stuff in Europe. The actual shipping date to customers would then be sometime on the week starting with Jan 7. Presumably UK retailers would be getting their basic box sets from the same shipment but might not, I don't think it's been disclosed to the unwashed masses.

[CptJake]

I am waiting for the update we'll get the first or second week in Feb stating there was a delay and nothing has shipped yet, but that they expect to have it fixed 'shortly'.

We'll only see that update after many backers have posted on the project site and various forums asking about when the product shipped and when they should be expecting their stuff to arrive.  As they do this a small group of backers will call them 'entitled whiners' or something similar for having the gumption to wonder why nothing has been delivered even though the last update said shipping should commence on or about 7 Jan.  

CMON, as part of the update will state that they did not tell us sooner because they did not want to cause a panic and let us know there was a delay until they had more info.
