That is amazing. Thanks for pointing it out.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;576074I know SJG with Ogre pissed off A LOT of retail stores, because those stores did pre-orders and then SJG released kickstarter, which resulted in everyone cancelling their pre-orders at the stores and supporting kickstarter instead.

That sort of leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

wow, that is a dick move. i'm sure bricks & mortar stores are having a tough enough time as it is.

If I was still using this stuff, I'd be in at $100. That's a lot of miniatures.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;576074I think that was the intent. But a lot of companies are using it essentially as a pre-order platform.

Ouch! I hadn't heard about that one.

I supported at the Vampire level. Just too good a deal to pass up.

that's my deal, too. i can't justify the $$ for a lot of stuff i wouldn't use. fascinating to see how this KS is going, though.

I'm in for $100. I'm hoping to use it to form the core for a heroquest/warhammer quest clone. I just need to find some rules for that style of play. You have damn near a mix of everykind of monster you could want and plenty of heroes. I think if I tack on one of the dragons as an option before the end, I should be set.

I'm in for 125. Vampire level + two cases. I'm trading in my Sophie on a motorcycle for the $25 to get the second case. I might get some of those deep-sea fish dudes too.

How do you trade Sophie for the $25 again?

AH yes that's going to be available as an option AFTER the kickstarter is over, apparently.

Quote from: Panzerkraken;576057Those limited edition Sophies go for a lot after the fact. I'm surprised that they're releasing that ReaperCon Sophie collection, I bet there's going to be some collector types who are pretty pissed about it.

Eh. There apparently will be a lot of these going on, and if I was interested in investments, I'd do it elsewhere. Though a tiny part of me thinks it might be cool to drop a succubus on a motorcylce in a modern game, the reality is I'd only use it once, and I'd get much more use out of, say, some demons and a pair of giants.

Ditto to that. I considered the Collector's value, but at the end of the day, my minis are for gaming, not gambling/showcasing.

That's me too. Sophie is getting traded for another case.

Dammit, that $100 level is a pretty good deal. Those sculpts are amazing, and although I prefer the humanoids to the monsters, they are all very nice quality.

If only my paints hadn't dried up in storage a number of years ago...

I got lucky. I still have a bunch of TSR paints from the early 90s that still are good. I mixed them with water before storing them, and when I broke them out, about 80% of them were still good with a little more water.
