I'm international wave 1 I think but haven't seen anything yet from Reaper...wishing now I could have gotten all the paint they were offering (to go with all the paint I got in Bones 1) and the mouslings (because hey cool), but at least I have the Terrasque and a few other things on the way.

Well a quick inventory says I have all the packages I should. Now to go through and inventory the contents of each package.  One thing I've seen a couple times already: the multi-part figures come pre-glued again, but the assembly seems to be lower quality, like a part might not be seated properly. With that in mind, I actually wish the multi-part models just came in pieces, since, for example, the undead dude sitting on the throne will be a bitch to paint pre-assembled. That being said, it's actually proving to not be so big a deal, because the glue used is maybe a different formulation than before, and a lot of these I can actually disassemble them. Chimera's goat head was glued in all wonky as hell, but a little bit of twisting and pulling and I've got the whole model broken down to its components with no damage whatsoever.

There's practically no air in the core/expansion boxes. It's wall to wall white plastic.

Well, I figured I might as well make the best of reaper accidentally shipping me a 3-year-old: we're going through the boxes and she's learning about minotaurs and swords and maces and poo poo, she seems pretty excited about the whole thing.

In my experience it varies a bit from figure to figure, but you're basically going to get whatever shape it goes to once warm if you freeze it again--so you'll end up wanting to combine whatever shape it 'relaxes' to with some minor guiding / adjusting by hand before you cool it again.

Inventory complete. I was sooooooo close to 100% perfect. The only error was that this dude: came with two left horns and no right horn. I'm thinking I probably don't even care, I mean he's a demon, maybe having two left horns is why he's so ornery. Otherwise, I guess I got an extra part, a little lumpy stalagmite thing that was in the Thank You set, but isn't on the picture and I can't find it anywhere in any of the sets. So maybe it was just a late add.

Well this sounds like good news for the RoW and possibly USPS folks:quote:Well, we've now been informed by the carrier that they will only send trucks to us to pick up the pallets of shipments in one batch. Once we call tonight to request the first carrier pickup, we have to continue with Postal shipments until we're done. This was not how had originally understood it to work, so we are having to change our plan.

Got my UPS tracking number (RoW, Wave 1), didn't expect it so soon. I can understand people raging in the comments but after Bones 1 they should know that there will be a huge number of orders to fill out, it won't go as smoothly as anyone thinks and it will take longer than anyone thinks.

I also do a quick scrub with a toothbrush while it's in the soapy water to get into all the grooves/details, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend that with Bones (both because of the somewhat softer material and the less sharp details).

So maybe it was just a late add. Is it metal, and did you order the shadow dragon (Verocithrax)? If yes to both, it's probably the prop they had to add to stop his bendy rear end constantly falling over.

The Verocithrax thing is sealed in the Verocithrax box. Of course, now that I've got my stuff I find that I've misplaced my glue, so it's going to be a couple of days before I get to see what everything looks like put together.

Figure I'll post my box porn here since everyone else seems to be doing it Just noting that this box was sealed by those heavy-duty band things, which is something I pretty much never see anywhere else, even on big miniature orders. Lent a nice feeling that some hardcore poo poo was about to go down   What was inside. Only two items, but what two items they are. Quite enough for me for the time being.

Those bands are super common in shipping hubs. There's usually a rule to not lift by the straps because they will basically slice your finger half off if they slip.
