Yeah, being in the 'Rest of the World' scares me right now. Plus I only really want those mice.

You'll be able to buy those off of some goon or another when they ship, no problem. I'm sure there's several folks who've already bought 10 or 20 sets just to sell them off.

Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....

Bad Munki posted:

Okay, that's certainly quite possible, but those waves will be shipped in their own time, as opposed to a literally unlimited number of "wave 1" shipping.

The big point, though, is that adding those extra waves won't (shouldn't) impact the previous waves. If you buy in to wave 17, you will obviously get your stuff after waves 1-16 have gone out. That way, they can make reasonably accurate estimates for each wave based on known factors. The big problem with the last campaign was that it was all one big heap and any delay impacted ALL orders, and the size of the thing impacted all orders as well. Keeping it in limited-size waves like this should make for highly accurate delivery estimates.

It also makes it clear to people why they got theirs so late - you're wave 17, you got yours later than 16, which got theirs later than 15, which........

Bad Munki posted:

For what it's worth, this limited-seating wave setup should at least alleviate the huge delays in shipping times for everyone, not just domestic customers. Granted, the "you pay actual shipping costs" means...whatever it means, there's really no way to know right now how big the package will be. I guess they could give a rough upper-end estimate, but it'd be so rough as to be basically useless. It was the customs and poo poo that really hosed the pricing of it last time. I would assume shipping costs at LEAST equal to whatever you paid last time, including customs and such.

I've seen international shipping be $45 for like $10 worth of stuff before. Certainty in shipping prices is great for me as a consumer (and disastrous for Reaper potentially, so I certainly understand where they're coming from). And with Wave 1 sold out, I'm probably good for right now.

I am in. I am happy they are doing paints again after finding out how expensive they can be, I won't skip on them this time.

Yeah, it was like 30-40 minutes for that first wave to sell out. You're currently getting 76 minis at $1.31 a pop (ignoring any add-ons.) Mouslings are available if you need them.

Well, the nice thing is, you can buy in at the $1 level and just get the add-ons you want. So for $11, you could have your mouslings and nothing else.

I know it's no metric at all and is completely inaccurate and most of these are early adopters getting in at level 1, but I think the kicktraq prediction is hilarious. Imagine if it did get there.

At this rate, considering I got about 80% of the add-ons from the first one (and wanted to bump that to probably 90%) I can see my $100 turning into $300 or even $400 very easily.

No, that's Iron Wind Metals and Ral Partha Europe. It's possible that they're just similar. Alternately, you may have seen the same Reaper models in metal before. Not all of these are new models. Some are old metals that Reaper's bringing over to Bones. Some of these are going to be models culled from their top seller list, some are going to be models that Reaper thinks will sell well if you can get them a lot cheaper (really big models or ones that you'd want hordes of).

EDIT: Also, I notice they've opened up a new tier for Wave III, estimated for October, like Wave II.

Reaper has a number of ex-Ral Partha sculptors on staff, and I suspect they also bought some of Ral Partha's molds when they went busto. So yeah, they're kind of a spiritual successor, although there are other companies who also have Ral Partha molds.

Julie Guthrie in particular was sculpting for Ral Partha as far back as 1978, and is a productive sculptor for Reaper, including some of their new Bones figures.
