UPS now says my order is "out for delivery".
I got the carrying case, it was included in the same box as my minis.

I'm waiting. Have not been notified yet. I have a fair number of add-ons, so mine might be a later ship.

In order to reduce errors, the more complex the order, the later it will ship.
(According to one of the updates they sent out.)

That's why mine shipped so quickly as #47 if the number on box means anything. I took the straight-up Vampire level w/o any changes or additions.

My set has arrived! It sounds like this week they progressed to shipping the Vampire Sets that swapped the sophie for a case.

We are in the process of taking the minis out of the bags. Some thoughts:

Many of the minis appear too big for the slots in the foam of the case. Some may fit if one of the three levels is turned over, making a larger space (but reducing the number of spaces).

The smaller minis come attached to a bar in a row of three. What's the best way to remove these - with a razor blade?

That, or a wire snips; a good pair can cut flush.

Me too. I think I traded my Sophie for paints, but no other special deals, just the Vampire set.

DD, did your carrying case come with six foam trays (3 levels of two each), each with 25 spaces (wells) of the same size - 300 spaces all together?
The problem with this is that only about 1/2 of the minis fit in these small wells.

The final result looks quite different from the original trays with multiple size spaces shown here:

Dunno. I'll check it out and let you know.

I don't know if any of you are in on the Centerstage Mini demon/devil kickstarter, but there was an interesting bit in one of the recent comments.
Let's just say that a VERY LARGE company has taken notice...and on April 21st, we'll be going live with our first press release concerning a nifty new license we've acquired. And on May 1st, an even bigger announcement concerning a Kickstarter produced by CSM with the backing and support of this as-yet-unannounced company.

I can promise you this KS will contain a rewards structure AS generous as Demons/Devils. It WILL contain demons, DAEMONS, and devils. And it will contain as many monsters as support will allow. We've been working on this since Demons/Devils first successfully ended, and I guarantee you all, this will be perhaps one of the best kickstarters to be found on this crowdfunding platform to date. Wait and see - and be the judge. We'd love to have each and every one of you along for the ride. Without each and every one of you, none of this would have been possible - and with your support, we can keep the momentum going.
Daemons are solely WOTC IP, correct? So, is it possible we have a 1st edition AD&D minis license in the works, and a kickstarter imminent?

Yikes! That would be a pretty interesting development. I am not sure the archaic spelling of "daemons" can be deemed intellectual property, but maybe the specific monsters are.
