Reaper Kickstarter... Number 2

[Momotaro]

When I calculate what I paid for Bones I, and how much I've sold some of the models for, I broke even on 8 of the medium-big monsters.  So I got all those human-sized and smaller figures for free.

On the other hand, I'll be dipping into those for years - I kickstarted my own plastic mountain!

I'm unsure whether to get into this one, or just wait and buy the dozen or so figures I really want.  We'll see.  But I was really happy with what I got.

[Calimero]

It just started a few minutes ago and it goes crazy fast!!! They’re going to jam Kickstarter site… and probably leave the peoples at Reaper with a lot of work to do to keep up with the updates…

No sci-fi figures yet

I missoud out last time, will NOT be repeating that mistake again! Already in for september sipping, we'll see if that date holds up

[FramFramson]

I'm still not fond of the material or interested in making such a big purchase of figs I mostly won't use, but I AM interested in new figures. Will there be any way of keeping track of which figures are entirely new? For instance, I think those mouse warriors and the "Lords of Darkness" are all new?

This. 

Surely a lot of people who own a bazillion fantasy figs from the last Kickstarter are having buyers remorse for the last couple of weeks.  The best way to get them back in would be to swamp them with sci-fi stuff this time I would have thought.

At least, thats what I was hoping for. Jet bikes, walkers etc.  But more ranger/cleric/thief/barbarian types again - ho hum.  I wanted ranger/cleric/thief/barbarian types from space this time godammit.

[Verderer]

well, it's understandable that they use the existing sculpts of whch they have several boat-loads... therefore the smaller figs I expect to be again mainly reprints of fantasy metals. I wouldn't mind some new scifi stuff either. Interesting to see what big stuff they're gonna make this time.

So far nothing to get excited over though after the first ks.

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

There is a set of Mouselings in metal.

Isn't their intent to eventually convert all their metal to "bones"? I expect a ratio of something like 2/3rd existing and 1/3rd new stuff.

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

As far as the last KS went, I bought into it at the last minute. And added to my order afterwards. I was pleased with the way it was run and the pledges fulfilled. Since then, however, I have been having trouble getting more of the bones locally. I've been trying to get multiples of the not-Driders (Arachnids, IIRC) but the distributor appears to have dropped the ball as my local has had the order in for a while now with no sign of them on the horizon.

I also wonder how these big camapigns harm local stores. I remember that Miniature Giant stated that sales were down something like 60% last year during Reaper's first Bones campaign. I hope they don't suffer this year as well.

Does anybody know if they take credit card? No PayPal for me... 

[BigB]

They use Amazon payments, not Paypal for the kickstarter.  You should be fine.

Hmm, no free shipping to Canada this time.  Boo.  Not even subsidizing the shipping cost (say, subtract the US cost of shipping from the international cost of shipping). double Boo.

I will have to check and see how they will be shipping this time.  If its via UPS, and we pay shipping, and duties are up to us, I will likely pass, as the duties will be silly and will remove much of the value on a huge pile of miniatures of which I will likely not use 90%.

I am surprised to see how fast this thing is going up though...  I thought more people would be saturated with bones miniatures from last time.

[Ironworker]

I'm annoyed by the lack of non fantasy options as well although there are a lot of minis in there I would like to have.  I don't know if I'm going to opt in this time but if I do I'm certainly going to get some of the large monster add on options.  It look like they have made some of these new designs with the material in mind and I'm all for that as well.  I really want to see some sci-fi, western, and modern options though. 

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

i'm in - but I could only get into Wave 3 shipping!

[Keeper Nilbog]

Fingers crossed for Bones CAV (mech figures). Happy with the Deadlands add's (especially as their cost free), but really want CAV.
