Reaper Kickstarter... Number 2

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

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.

Good point about shipping. I've asked about whether UPS is the default or only option. If it is I'll be opting out. I've been stung by UPS's outrageous fees before!

[beefcake]

Ups for me would be hundreds. USPS will probably as well but I remember once getting a quote from privateer press for a card of a hordes miniature, around $150. I guess because ups don't travel this way. I wish they had a postage amount on the last package.
Always the option of the dollar pledge and then just getting big things I want.

To the best of my knowledge, they have no plans to stop metal production or do a full conversion to plastic.

I took a quick look at it but it was almost entirely fantasy figures. I have more than enough from the last Reaper campaign. I like the Bones figures very much, and if they were doing a different genre, sci-fi or modern, I might consider it. As it is now though I'll not likely be in on this one.

24 days to go for add ons...

I think they stated that they were not going to stop metal, but i thought the whole point of the KS was to get money to convert the ranges over...

Reaper replied to my PM already, nice.  USPS to Canada at least (I assume its the same for elsewhere).

My guess is somewhere around $40 for the shipping.  My bones I box was pretty huge.

[ryoden]

Not stating how much the shipping is turns me off,especially as its overseas, also the actual cost will be stated so that additional taxes.  I expect they will have a very successful run but I think I will give it a miss this time and pick up the few figures I am actually interested in when they hit the UK.

[Timbor]

I put in a pledge to follow the whole thing, and to hold a place if I decide to actually get the base package.  Still not sure if I will keep it or drop out though...

[beefcake]

I hope they put an option of buying some of the main bones package but not having to get it all. That would save on postage.

[Braxandur]

I managed to get into wave one, which makes me happy, but seeing the potential enourmous shipping costs made me very unhappy. I wonder if there maybe is someone present from the US who is willing to receive my package and later send it on as a gift? I'd be willing to add some nice extras

(otherwise I'll have to ask around with my friends :p)

[thebinmann]

I contacted them asking if they could send UK (and possibly eu) orders through reaper uk saving us massive amounts of money....

Otherwise a good deal that gets too big becomes a very bad deal...

That sound like a good idea. I've seen quite a few kickstarter send out goods in this fashion. Hopefully they're open for the suggestion.

Took the plunge and signed up  

I love all the extra little creatures they throw in, the first kickstarter really helped flesh out my dungeon population.  So far this one looks to add even more variety and character.  The dungeon decor will be a most welcome addition as well, I'm always looking for more

I'm hoping that they use the firmer material for the models this time.  Did anyone else notice the same thing from the last batch?  Some of the models were much firmer and others super flexible, same size just felt like different material.

Brax if you don't find anyone else, I live in the US and would be happy to help out.  Though come to think of it, wasn't the last kickstarter sent out as "Gift"?  I seem to remember seeing that they were somewhere.

Nope. The 34 euros (46$ aprox) I had to pay for customs proove that.
