I got a tracking number! I am much more excited about this than I should be.

Also it looks like a lot of the stuff I passed on didn't get much more expensive. But C'thulhu, Kaladrax, and Nethyrmaul all ballooned to a price I probably wouldn't get them at. (No real use for, but they'd be nice to have.) But I got them! Cheap!

Speaking of the price jump for the big dragons and C'thulhu, where are these listed?

A lot of them are in Reaper's preview gallery.

The biggest increasers (so far):
C'Thulhu: $39.99
Kaladrax: $74.99
Nethermaul: $39.99
Wyrmgear: $24.99
Ebonwrath: $19.99
Vampire Box: $400

And honestly, the Vampire box probably is worth around $400 - especially if you're just getting started or don't own any miniatures.

Isn't that 400 reduced from 500 for the individual models in it?

Yes, if you click on it the blurb reads:
Contains over 200 Bones polymer miniatures from the Reaper 2012 Kickstarter. Over $500 worth of miniatures for only $400!

They melt at somewhere between three and four hundred degrees. You might need to do the boil-and-freeze trick to get them into the proper shape, but they'll be fine. Most of them probably won't even need that.

Aww, it looks like they are organizing the shipments by number of packages, not number of line items. On the plus side, that means my 12-item-order should ship on Friday or Monday!

Every time I read a post in here about a shipping order I get sad, but then I look at the shipping tracker, see thousands of orders left, and remember that the reason mine hasn't shipped yet is that I'm getting SO MANY MINIS.

What's another weekend at this point?

edit: I'd forgotten I had so many line items/spent way too much loving money on minis I'll never use:

Vampire x1 $100
Fire Giants x1 $10
Frost Giants x1 $10
Undead Giant x1 $10
Clockwork Dragon x1 $15
Spider Centaurs x1 $10
Fire Giant Warriors x1 $10
Nethyrmaul x1 $25

Got mine tonight. Opened up Cthulhu and Kaladrax first. They are so immense and impressive, it makes the rest of my order look puny in comparison. Cthulhu in particular is fantastic, the sheer heft and detail of the sculpture.

Just got my shipping confirmation, looks like they're into people with 11 line items. Or if they're doing it by number of boxes, whatever the number of boxes with 2 vampires and 9 addons gets you.

I think they're sort of all over the place, really. I was watching the counter yesterday, and each order would bump the number of line items by anywhere from 8 to 14. I suspect they're shipping at, say, 11 distinct line items, but regardless of how many total items in the order. So, like, vampire + 2x giants would be two line items for shipping timing, but obviously three line items for realsies. Maybe. :)

The last item I had delivered from UPS was marked as Delivered two days before it showed up at my house.

I had to contact Reaper and hopefully during their busy schedule they can file a claim with UPS since my poo poo still isn't here and UPS claims they delivered it.

I wonder whoever UPS decided to deliver my items to is thinking when the open it and see a bunch of white miniatures and a Giant C'thulhu. Maybe they threw it away to avoid his wrath :cthulhu:

They deserve it for not bringing it to me or returning it :mad:

I thought I got 11 items and was sure today was the day... turns out whoops, I ordered 16.

So to pass the time I'm thinking about how to actually going to use these things. The original plan was to use them as DnD minis and painting practice, which still holds true. But the new plan includes using a bunch of them as proxies for out of print Descent minis. And during the kickstarter I thought the NOVA corps guys were a waste of space, but now I can use them as Infinity proxies.

I still have no idea how I'm going to use the "zombie hunters" stuff, every game I've played that thematically suits those minis has been awful. Any suggestions?

I had the ticker going on a separate screen for most of last week, and I didn't notice any international shipments pop up. Compare to 2 Fridays ago when it was basically all Canada all day. I thought I read that they were going to handle international orders this past Thursday or Friday, but it seems more likely that they just didn't ship any.

Is there confirmation on what Kaladrax is going to retail for? I heard someone mention they were going to bump it up to $75 due to the unexpected size of the drat thing, but the retailer paperwork says it's $40.

Might consider adjusting the price of Nethyrmaul down. Reaper changed him from $75 to $40. Granted, you'll have 'em before retail, but I dunno if folks are going to be willing to pay an extra thirty-five bucks when the difference is likely to be a few weeks.

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



Got mine today. It is SO CASH MONEY. Kaladrax is just ridiculously huge, I totally believe the story of a mangled communication about scaling between the computer mesh and the production facility.

The models definitely hold a lot of detail, but they are pretty flexible. I'm going to have to hot-water trick a few floppy daggers and leaning skeletons and stuff.

Big C is pretty cool, too, and goes hand-in-hand with his little Star Spawn buddy.


Already threw some drybrush on a couple of the translucents and it really makes them pop.

Really? The price listing I just downloaded from Reaper says he's 75. It also says Kaladrax is 40 though, so I guess they swapped their prices or something.

I remember both Nethyrmaul and Cthulhu initially being listed much higher initially on the website, maybe that's what he's thinking about? They're both $40 now.
