Looks nice but shipping will be a killer outside the US

Man, I didn't even think of that. It'll probably double the cost of the whole thing. That's a bummer, I wanted to go in big on this. I'll have to reserve judgement until I see what's on offer.

Never know. They may do bulk shipments and ship from Hubs. But still costly. Looks so nice though

Hmm..this could be interesting. Wonder if it will end up being Bones material? A large mine is something I've been considering for a while (was going to do a topless mine using WW1 style trench sections etc.). Will be curious to see where this goes.

Funded in three hours!

Update: "Now we’re aiming for $35,000 to unlocked the Core Wall Set – and add it to your Core Set Pledge FOR FREE! That’s an additional Wall Set in your Core Set Pledge!"

Pretty interesting that they're unlocking *entire sets* rather than a piece at a time.

EDIT: $600 away from the unlock!

I was interested...until I saw the pieces. Having my own truckload worth of Dwarven Forge stuff my main grip is small modular pieces. The smaller, the worse. While offering a lot of variety, the use of thin/small/singular pieces almost guarantees a shaky/rattly gaming surface - even if laid on grippy mat beneath. I was a bit perturbed that the later Dwarven Forge stuff was 2x2...as that's about bad enough. As such this is all too fiddly looking for me to invest. Might keep an eye out if there is an option after retail to buy some of the tracks or bridgeways etc. But for me, it's a big no at the moment.

Others have requested add-ons only, and an add-on only pledge will be added!

So I'll go ahead and share the plans up to $100,000 - at $20,000 we unlocked the Core Set. At $35,000 we unlocked the Core Walls, which not only added 22 more wall pieces to every core, but also unlocked the ability to buy *just* the Core Walls (or extra copies added to your Core). At $55,000 we're unlocking the Core Passageways Set, which will add 12 Passageway (1" wide) floor tiles to every core Set (bringing the core up to 24 passageway tiles total, and also unlocking the ability to buy just the passageways, or extra passageways if you already have some. At $75,000 we're adding the Core Floors Set, which will add 2 more 4x4 floors, 2 more 2x2 floors, and 2 more quarter circle floors to every core (6 total pieces), and like the previous two, unlock the ability to buy just the Floors Set. And then at $100,000, the plan is to unlock the Core Doors Set (no pun intended), which is slightly different from the others. Right now the Core Set has 2 doors and 1 "Mine entrance" tile which is 1x4". The Doors Set adds not 2, but 4 additional doors - 2 of each type (Sculpt A, Sculpt B). Bringing the total number of doors up not to 5 but to 7. Note that the Doors Set does NOT include the Mine Entrance Tile. The doors set also unlocks the ability to buy 4 doors as an add-on.

This means at $100,000, the Core set will feature 86 total pieces, compared to 42 pieces when we hit funding goal yesterday - slightly more than doubling your initial value.

Then, at $115,000, we start showing new things that are not currently part of the core... And believe me we have so many fun features to showcase, including more parts to add in to the Core! But i'm not really supposed to talk about them... mine tracks, bridges, monster lairs... you know, secret stuff...
