Massive Darkness Kickstarter is coming ... (delivering now ...!)

[beefcake]

Ah yes. Forgot about those. Seems a steep price doesn't it?

[Duncan McDane]

Pretty much, but the problem is when filling out the PM it's too easy to tick that box too, just because...  .

[Elbows]

I can cope without the elementals...particularly for $40! 

[Verderer]

Is Black Plague still available for sale? Was out of stock the last I checked.

[beefcake]

Some retailer should still stock it. I think I saw it here in NZ with Mightyape but that's probably no help.

[Elbows]

Yeah, Black Plague is on full retail sale now.  The Kickstarter bundles on ebay are absurdly expensive but all of the components are available.

In the US I always like Miniature Market or Warstore.  Starter box is out-of-stock but it's not going anywhere.

Yeah, that Black Plague-crossover is a must. So far my "don't do the add-ons" policy... 
Beefcake, the Elementals is a 40 dollar add-on, and so far I've been able to resist... so far.

Ten dollars a figure for a set of four rather large models with some cardboard junk so you can use them in the boardgame doesn't seem all that steep to me.  Maybe I'm desensitized by metal (or even plastic/restic) gaming figs where something that size would run $15 each at the low end these days, and maybe two-three times that.  Even Reaper Bones stuff would run $5-20 depending on the individual piece and there's not other game components included with them.

They're a little steep compared to the other bargains in this KS (or what you get in some of the Descent packs, for comparison to another game) but not enough to make me raise an eyebrow.  I don't care for their aesthetic, but that's something entirely separate.

[Elbows]

My take is...the Kickstarter add-ons are almost never discounted, maybe a tiny bit.  It's very likely that box will eventually sell for $40 and be discounted to $28 on a website somewhere.  I could be terribly wrong, but there is little sense to me in pre-purchasing stuff which is likely listed near MSRP.

[Elbows]

Oh man...the Oni looks really damn cool. 

[Verderer]

More optional buys added, and the KS is approaching 2 mils without even breaking a sweat!

Getting damn hard to resist right now...

[Elbows]

It'll probably end up in the mid 3-millions by the end, with the typical last few days Kickstarter fever (ie. a bunch of people drop and a bunch more add in).  It's a hugely solid buy at the moment (again my enthusiasm for the game itself is exceeding the "cool, tons of minis!" approach I normally take). 

[beefcake]

Yeah. I compared this with the Black Plague and it seems BP was slightly over 2 mill while this is slightly under at the same stage of the Kickstarter so I reckon about 3.5 million. 3,541,237 is my bet 

[Duncan McDane]

It hasn't got the artist boxes Black Plague did, so we'll see.
I bit the bullet and will go all-in with the miniature boxes and ZBP-crossover set  .

Fair enough...say.... $3,127,650.

Yeah, I reckon if they had more add-ons they would rake in much more. Not from me. I'll stick with the core but there are so many Cmon fanboys out there (fair enough, they make and fulfill great product) that they will bump the money up. whenever an add on is announced the stretch goals seem to break fairly quickly afterwards.
