I'm satisfied

me too!  glad i got mine in--now to wait for the survey and choose the big C as my add-on (just got back from dinner w/ the folks, crazy finish to this KS!) :eek: :cool:

Quote from: Sacrosanct;576609Probably not, but I bet a lot of people wanted to increase their pledges by the appropriate amount so they could get him.

i upped my vampire level by 10 for the mythos monsters--to come home and see that cthulhu is also considered a $10 add-on, i'm happily surprised.

Quote from: gleichman;576607I find the mindset behind the late bidders to be a bit of a mystery.

I found out about the offering rather early, being a long time direct customer of theirs (at one time we even had one of their employees in our gaming group) I was on their mailing list.

I wasn't thrilled with plastics (I like the feel of metal a lot more), and I would have little use for many of the individual figures in the set. So I watched it for a few days until it hit 100 figures for $100 and decided that's a good enough price return- I'm in. That happened at around the $250K level.

So with where I was coming from, I don't understand why people waited until the last minute for this. Was getting Cthulhu really a make or break item?

As much as i'm sure it boosts your hipster 'before it was cool' self image, I didn't know about it until Jeff put it up here.  So late or not, I was perfectly happy with my 240+ figures for $100.  And plastics are a mature tech in figures, GW's been doing them for years and they look fine, IMO.

I refuse to think less of what I'm receiving because you decided to spend your money earlier.

They said you will be able to add more to your pledge after the kickstarter is over.

So for a little while you will be able to increase your pledge if you were undecided on any add ons.

Really? The very idea of a guy still stuck in the 80s gaming scene have a hipster image is amusing to no end.

Quote from: Panzerkraken;576632I didn't know about it until Jeff put it up here.

He did that yesterday, and was beaten to it on this very website "]two days before that.

But if you're saying that all the last minute bids are from people who didn't know about it, I suppose that's possible. Seems unlikely to me however.

Maybe one of the earlier booster levels was a carton of American Spirits  and a case of PBR, but they took that down when it started becoming  mainstream.

Ok, I couldn't come up with 240 figures.  What am I missing?

Or at all.

Glad to help.  Enjoy your ironic beard and skinny jeans, and watch out with that pizza.

No, I was saying that your comments make it sound like a very self-appreciating ass, that's all.  I don't care how many last minute donations there were, or when your bid was, but the fact that you had to come on and make commentary reducing the value and impact of everyone else would normally lead me to wonder about your self-worth, but since I can tell you view yourself as an Rand protagonist, I know that's not the case.  

So it was clearly done with the intent of reducing other's view of the worth of their contribution (bids is very inaccurate, I think.  We were contributing to a cause, not bidding against anyone for something), which is very much a dick move on your part.  I wouldn't expect you to understand that though, for the exact reasons above.

From the kickstarter outline:

Vampire Level = Zombie Level + Ghast Level + Wraith Level + Mummy Level. 241minis: 240 Bones Plastic, and 1 Metal Sophie*!

I think Panzerkraken that you must have some self-image problems, because you're really overthinking this.

Forgetting about you (easily done) and directing this to people who don't feel their identity is in danger, is this type of last minute buy-in on kickstarter common?

I think generally yes.  An initial surge as the KS first comes on, then spikes as new stretch goals are revealed that really push it over the edge for someone.

In this case were there lots of people who were wanting to do it, but weren't sold then OMFGCTHULU!?!?!  Not sure.

Does it make a fucking bit of difference if it is?

Nice.

Quote from: gleichman;576673I think Panzerkraken that you must have some self-image problems, because you're really overthinking this.

Over the past decade or so, has it ever occurred to you to ask yourself why you find yourself in arguments with just about everyone?

Quote from: CRKrueger;576674I think generally yes.  An initial surge as the KS first comes on, then spikes as new stretch goals are revealed that really push it over the edge for someone.

That interesting. I frankly don't know what to make of it.

Do you think it's a bit word of mouth as the people who buy-in early are somewhat iffy about if it was a good idea. But then they get excited as new stuff is piled on? I will say it was fun getting updates saying I had new figures throughout the week...
