A Nickstarter is on the way.....I just hope they throw in some discounts on shipping to us overseas....Northstar has amazing looking figures but the shipping is a bit to be desired. One of the top reasons why I have not ordered from them before....I see other companies offer cheaper rates or free shipping even depending. That tends to win my money.

The AFFOKF deal had free shipping, and when a few of the minis were miscast, they offered to replace them for free w/ free Stateside shipping. I like NS so much, I bought something extra and paid for the freebies to be shipped to me. Great company to deal with all around.

i'm waiting for some informations ... i'm quite afraid of the "pirates of the carribean" look of some minis ...
Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

From what I've seen, miniatures are closer to some old Tintin strips or old pirate movies than PoC, but that's maybe that's your point. I guess they also intend to differ from the available ranges here and there so ... wait and see ^^

I'm going to be real torn on this one, there's so much to paint but I've been wanting to make up a proper pirate crew for some time...wife's a big, big, Disney fan  ::).
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

Heh, I live about an hour from Disney with a pass, so when we go there, I want to ride it at least once, if not twice or more! Last time I was there it was down....
