<p>While I respect this point of view I would suggest that the issue is not "an appetite" for the miniatures but rather a reality of funds. Even if I limit myself to only the miniatures we have the Goblin case this month, the Dragon set, the Undead set, two full Battles sets all before December. It does not take a lot of brains to see that if you flood the market you will force your collectors to not buy everything and thus sales for all the sets will lower as each person picks different things to buy. As the IP owner I do think your voice would be heard if you let them know the reaction on your forums to the idea of four full sets plus three or four additional items a year. Think of your input as marketing Research, they should at least explore the concern. </p>
<p>Just one man's opinion of course. :-)</p>
<p>Have a great Con.</p>

<p>One other thought, two months "late" is nothing in Kickstarter terms. Go look at the number fo Kickstarters that are over a year late. You guys who are upset, should use care in the future before you pledge. You should not let the idea of great reward cloud your minds. Only pledge what you are willing to let ride. </p>
