Mine showed up last Friday, but I didn't get to dig into it until this week.

I'm really liking the miniatures (which is 90% the reason I bought into this).

I really want mine to arrive before the end of the current KS so I can decide whether to pledge or not!

Understandable. I guess you want to be sure the miniatures are more than board game pieces in order to spend another 100's of dollars on something unseen, especially since the critics about the models were biased.  ;)
I can assure you the quality is good enough to back, especially since the didn't use Victor Dragosani this time, his digisculpts are amongst the weakest in Conan ( digisculpts are far less sharp and detailed as the normal sculpts, so you might want to be careful when selecting add-ons, see the difference in quality of the Gael Goumont digisculpts - quite mediocre - and his traditional handiwork, which is ace ). In addition, I find that digisculpts work slightly better on large models then on 28-32 mm humanoids, as does boardgame plastic works better for big monsters as it does for human sized models.
Lucky enough MB brings lots and lots of big guys, so you can pledge safely. In fact, I'm sure you will regret it later on if you don't back  ;)

You're probably right. And if I do regret it when I back, selling it off is always an option (unless they go under or it turns out to be really crap) I've starred it so I'll see what it is like when it gets to 48 hours to go.

All my stuff came yesterday. (Saturday)
To my house in Oregon.
Took a quick look at all of it and there is a ton.
Like what I see so far.
Will be interesting to start painting them.
A question, what paint are people priming their figures with?
Thanks for any replies.

I haven't received a reply re. replacements - what's the best avenue (i.e. email address, contact details) to receive a reply and have replacements provided?

I've used standard spray primers so far, with no issues. Citadel Chaos Black for the darker figs, Army Painter grey, white and leather brown for the others, depending on what I want the final colour to be. This guy was sprayed leather brown:

That Conan looks great! It was my least favorite miniature from the Kickstarter but seeing it painted well is changing my mind about it.
