In Her Majesty's Name

You still have some excellent figures I would buy as singles

The only singles you can have are yetis, and you're after me in the queue for those.

[Phil Robinson]

Just to be sure I got the 'Nickstarter' thingy right (IMO: a far less hypocritical way to do than to use some other 'starter' to raise funds. I'm definitely like it):

You have 3 levels considering the amount of money once spend in the game (R1: a set + rules, R2: 2 sets + rules, R3: 4 sets + rules). Each level offers you a chance to gain an extra miniature cummulatively, and goal 1 also helps providing a new set.
Now the goals are connected to the total amount of money you raise that way, each level enabling an extra figure for everyone placing an order from R1. So, if I'm correct, would you raise £48001 (hope so), someone ordering a set + rules (R1) would gain a total of 6 free (exclusive) miniatures (R2 get 7 minis, R3 8minis)?

I can't see anywhere that the spend has to include the rules, so assuming that you buy two sets (£54) then you would qualify for the £37 spend figure.

I assume you can buy only 2 sets, without rules and still qualify for R1, but I'm quite sure rewards have been made in order to favor those purchasing miniatures AND rules, since commercial interest is in supporting both.

Very simple : every set is £27.00, while the rules cost £10.79. There's also a special bundle coming with all 4 sets and including the rules at £118.79. Everything's here : http://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?man=148&page=1
Given the Nickstarter's page (here : http://nstarmagazine.com/IN_HER_MAJESTYS_NAME.htm)
R1 = £37 (27+10.79)
R2 = £64 (27x2+10.79)
R3 = £118 (bundle 4 sets+ rules = 118.79)


Now, that's not the point I'm discussing. I'm just wondering if I'm correct when, regarding Nickstarter's page, extra rewards are to be sent to any purchaser spending at least £37. In such a case, I find it an excellent choice (one I'm fully supporting !), but it's a bit unclear in my mind

Not an amazing dicount for all the sets, though.....

There is no discount for all four, you just get an extra reward figure/figures.

I'm sorry but the English language is very precise, to quote from the Nickstarter (italics are mine)

"Everyone who spends at least £37  will receive Reward 1 which is a  figure of Jack the Ripper, the  Mysterious Fiend of Whitechapel,  designed to fit into the Steampunk  world of IHMN"

[Penchour]

Not trying to argue how 'precise' English language is, but would you go down the page to the Goal reward section, I'll be obliged to stand corrected
Once again, my concern is about so called 'spend rewards' and 'spend goal' ...

No argument intended, like you just need it to be made clear from Nick, if you need to purchase the rules as well as miniatures to qualify for the rewards etc. this does not appear to be the case at the moment.

[Dr DeAth]

it's the bare chest and enormous weapon that don't work for me personally

fnarrr, fnarrr - double-entendres 

[Penchour]

You're perfectly right on the question of rules : I never said -neither is it stated anywhere - you have to buy the rules to enter the reward program. As you rightfully noted, anyone taking 2 sets qualifies as well. My point here was the reward system was design to promote buying them together (already made the demonstration on that, so there's no need to do it twice).

Now, on my primary concern, I had Nick's word ealier and he confirmed that anyone spending at least £37 will receive every extra miniatures from the goal rewards, depending on what amount of money they'll reach. Means that for £37 you may acquire up to 6 extra free miniatures (so far, up to £48,000). Now, if the bundle isn't that attractive - or appears so, it is because you have to take the rewards into account : buying 4 sets + rules gives you a first bunch of 3 exclusive miniatures for free, plus every miniatures coming from extra goals achieved.  That's what I call a good deal

It was an innocent remark that has been taken out of context.

I kind of missed the confusion earlier, but just to clarify.

The first three figures you get depending on how much money you spend.

Free figures 4 to 7 depend on how much money is raised, if the money is raised they go to everyone who qualified for figure 1.

If we get to £48K, as long as you spent £37 with us, you get figures 1, 4, 5 ,6 and 7.

It doesn't matter what you buy, you could buy 2 boxes of Lord Curr's company and qualify for Reward figure 1.

Cheers
Nick

[Phil Robinson]

Thanks for the clarification Nick, I thought that was the case.

[Conquistador]

Just waiting patiently and hopefully for the possibility of affordable singles of selected figures.   

Gracias,
