Reaper Miniatures Kickstarter

[Matthew]

No doubt, but if any of them were going to deliver on time I would have put my money on this one; just bellyaching, not criticising.

[TRP]

Matt, I wasn't razzing on you, I was razzing on a fair number of Kickstarters.

They delivered my Sophie just something like 2 weeks late. I wish I had opted out of the Sophie, even thought it's a pretty funny miniature, I doubt it'll ever get game use. I clicked that "No" button for changing options just a little too quickly, because I didn't trust myself about spending a lot more money once I started into the options.

[Matthew]

No worries as to that, I did not think that you were. Yeah, I am very glad that I dropped Sophie, though I cannot see quite how I am going to use cthulhu or quite a few of these massive dragons as yet either.

I didn't get Cthulhu for that very reason -- too big. Speaking of Kickstarters, on the Swords & Wizardry KS, all of the USA orders have now been shipped after a marathon weekend of packing boxes.

[Matthew]

That is good news! Well done to you and yours!

Yeah, I pledged for the big ass dragons and Cthulhu in the end because it was ridiculously inexpensive and I figured that I would prefer regretting getting them to regretting not getting them, if you see what I mean.

Never did post any pictures of the miniatures I bought in this thread:

Also some more new sculpts from the Kick Starter:

I'm so ready for mine to get here so I can start painting. I even invested in on of those desk lamp/magnifying glass things with a light built into it so I don't go blind.

How much did that run you, and where did you get it? I'm also planning a painting spree once mine come in.

I found it at Hobby Lobby. I believe it was about 40 dollars. And the light is an LED so it's super bright and will last forever.

Although the stylishness of a miner's light and a monocle can't be disputed.

[TRP]

If I had the large undead dragon and/or Cthulhu miniatures, you could dammed well be assured that they'd make it into a game.

[Matthew]

Dead right, Red Priest! The challenge has been made!

[Cimmerian]

Anybody else trying to paint up the rest of your shiny metal shit so as not to get completely behind before the package comes? Gotta go....paint!

[Matthew]

No miniatures to paint or paints to paint with here, Cimmerian!

Very informative post in the Reaper Miniatures forums:

We're going to be starting shipments in a day or two. We will be shipping complete orders - The shipment you receive should complete the balance of any remaining items due on your pledge, as determined by the RPM survey which you filled out.

Canadian shipments in particular will be packed out here: items associated with your order and boxed. They will then placed on a pallet and freighted to Canada, where they will be unpalletized, and sorted into Canadian Post. I do not know whether Canadian Post offers tracking, but if they do, we will use it.

Canadians will NOT be shipped last. We are going to make things easy on our freight provider by dividing shipments by country of destination, but will not be pushing anybody specifically to the end to do it. What this means is that Day one, we will work domestic US orders, to be sure the kink are worked out of our shipping setup and software, etc. Day 2 we will process Canadian Orders. Day 3 we will do Other International, Day 4 Domestic again, etc. The cycle will repeat until complete. Each day our freight provider will pick up the days' completed orders and from there, you will receive as much tracking information as we can provide. Note that Canadian shipments are not going directly to you, but rather to our agent to be resorted, so we will only be able to track the bulk shipment until the single shipments are parsed.

If there is a problem with your order, contact us. questions@reapermini.com

If we determine the problem to be our agent, we will deal with them ourselves, as this is our responsibility to you.

Beyond that, the further into this we are, the more I think it will take much longer than the original estimates of a few (2-3) weeks. To help each backer understand where they are in the process, when your order is shipped, you will receive an e-mail notifying you that we have completed your order. Backers shipped via UPS will receive a tracking number from UPS when UPS picks up their shipment. I am not aware right now whether Canadian Post sends out e-mails when you apply postage, I know our software here does, but that doesn't help.

An Update will be posted when we begin fulfillment. Right now, We're still making sure that the process is going to be efficient and error-free, and we're hesitant to make too much noise until we are sure.

I hope you can appreciate that.
