Since you asked so nice sure we can have this discussion again.

You can find the odd over the top sexist mini in the Reaper line, especially the Klockenbooty minis made by Werner Klocke. But even if some of these bother me, they are the exception and not the rule when it comes to Reaper female miniatures.

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!

Sat down last night to catalog everything and make sure my order wasn't missing any items - it took four hours and I'm still not done. It would have been nice if Reaper had somehow marked the little figure baggies with their stock numbers or something...

Good luck to you guys with multiple Vampire boxes. :smithicide:

Go to the Reaper KS page, take the Vampire mini picture list, open Photoshop (or equivalent), pick up a mini, find it on the list, cross it off by X-ing through its picture. It worked for me.

After going through and counting everything, I think I have buyer's remorse. There is so much here that I will never, ever use...

So sell the lot of it and make $100.

Edit: Personally I'm sort of the same way; I got caught up in the hype and now have loads of minis I have no immediate use for. That said, between the paint, the figure case and the awesome Cthulhu model I can't get upset. I will also be using the 'not space marines' with my copy of space hulk that I bought sans-minis and lots of the fantsy figures will become Mordheim gangs. If nothing else use the minis as practice pieces that you can go hog wild on with new techniques and color pallets that you wouldn't risk on more expensive or beloved minis.

Oh, I'm not upset, it's just that while I like some of the models (the not-Beholder is awesome) many of them don't do anything for me. I'd part out what I don't want, but it doesn't look like I'd get much of a return, judging by the stuff on Ebay. I'll most likely wind up keeping it all.

I think my remorse comes from the fact that I can't really do anything with them - I don't play RPGs and I have minis for the tabletop games I do play (and they are my painting priority.) Oh well, lesson learned - getting a lot of stuff does not equate to true happiness. :emo:

Do we have a trade/sale thread for Bones at all?

EDIT: Is there supposed to be a body on the altar in the Dungeon Dressing set? My bag was opened, so I don't know if I was missing something, or if they did an alternate bare altar top.

I think the body was left out of the Bone casting as I didn't get one for my altar either.

I have so many minis from the first Bones KS, I don't know about getting the Core Set this time around. The Add-ons only option is nice as so far I really like the mouslings and the kraken. I'm just worried that once the 500 "options only" tier is filled they won't have any more.

Good idea! I did that trick for the Toughest Girls KS before I pulled out entirely. I'll have to unearth one of my other KS accounts.

homullus posted:

The giants from Bones I (around the size of the big things in the expansion) are $8-10 retail, so yes, the expansion is already a good deal (the initial offering has 5 large minis plus smaller ones that will retail for less). It is cool if you (all, not just JerryLee) don't like those minis, but don't talk yourself into a bizarre alternate reality here: they're still a bargain at the price already (equivalent to the "$10 for two bigger things" +$ add-ons, easily less than retail), will be an even better bargain with the nigh-inevitable first expansion of the expansion, and will definitely be a good deal if it hits the second level.


So are you ok with +$ add-ons, but not ok with add-ons that also improve as the KS gets better funded? Or are you not ok with stretch goals in general that are +$ add-ons?

I don't mind stretch goals in general that are +$ add-ons. I don't like the +$50 expansions because they are just taking away from the core $100 level; even if I'm wrong it's what it feels like to me.

Problem is, Indolent, that there's going to come a point where adding more minis to the core is going to start making them lose money. Don't think of this as taking away from the core level. It's just making sure that new minis are available. Like a mini Kickstarter within the Kickstarter. Yo dawg and so forth.

If you don't want the expansion, that's fine. But this makes sure that the minis will be available for purchase later on down the line.

While that is probably true, it still doesn't make me care. I want the core set to be outrageous, not just ok with a bunch of $50 upgrades that I can buy.

So I ran a few numbers based on what's up on the Kickstarter page, because I'm a data junkie when it comes to my kickstarters. Note that these numbers don't include any of the Dungeon Dressings, which I don't care about, and the paints or the cases.

If you pledge the core and all the add-ons that aren't paint, cases, or terrain, right now you're looking at $294.
The core is 135 figs for $100, or $0.74 per fig.
If you go all in, you're paying $294 for 207 figs, or $1.42 per figure. That does include all the big dragons and whatnot.
The $50 core expansion is currently 25 figs for $50, or $2 a fig.

I'll keep updating these numbers as we go for my own personal edification, and can keep posting here if this is of interest to anyone.

Care to run the numbers of the first campaign through that analysis so we can compare?

At $1.4M, people who pledged for the Core set finally get another freebie: five pretty cool looking armored bad guys!


"2 Hellknights (Orders of the Nail and the Scourge), Anti-Paladin, the Whispering Tyrant, and the Horned Hunter!"

Given Reaper pulled in $224k today, so if they do about the same tomorrow, we should see this one achieved right around the end of the day.

If we get one or two stretch goals per day, and about one in three or one in four apply to the core set, that's still between six and maybe fifteen or so additional blocks of items, which would make the $100 a really great deal.

On the other hand, I think we'll see a slowdown to more like $100k a day, while the gaps between stretch goals increase, so it'd entirely possible we'll see only three or four more additions to the core set by the last day; but then on the last day we should see a big push.

I'm still kind of on the fence. I'm hopeful, but if Reaper opens up one or two more $50 add-ons and starts splitting stretch goals evenly between them, the core set, and costs-money individual add-ons, we might not see the core set grow much more at all. I think that'd be a big mistake.

Glad to see that the core set hasn't been abandoned after the expansion sets were introduced; it was seriously a concern for me.

e:(I agree whole heartedly with the bolded bit.)
