Got a mail yesterday asking me to update my mailing address if I need to....looks like they are planning on starting the shipping process shortly. Squeee!!!!
Got my email too! Can't wait!
Got it.

Got my confirmation email from Reaper.
I had ordered two Vampires, plus at least one of each of the addons (except the space soldiers), that means all the dragons and demons offered.
So does this mean I 'might' get it all before July?
Cool!
Last we heard, the last container was confirmed as due to arrive in the office tomorrow (tuesday).... they estimated 3 weeks from that date to finish shipping
3 weeks might be bold to finish 2/3rds of their shipping, but that doesn't mean they can't do it.
From a moderator over at the Reaper boards:
According to Bryan, all system check emails have gone out.
If you have not received one, and have already checked all your spam folders, it could be time to check in.
If you have not had cause to change your mailing address since you locked your pledge in, then you should be fine.
However as we've seen, some people have incorrectly entered their own information.
You should verify your entered mailing address is accurate.
Be responsible, do what you feel is best.
You can double-check your shipping info at Reaper's Kickstarter manager. If you no longer have your KS manager link, go here to request it:

I have to say, aside from my own feelings about the communication aspect, Reaper is doing a fantastic job at a huge task. And the fact that they are missing out on a big thing like Origins to keep tackling that task...good for them.
Wow, that's insanely quick. Well done to them for being so slick and determined to get to done, quick and right.
Just got my shipping e-mail a couple of minutes ago. In my experience with Kickstarter, only 3 months "late" from the estimated delivery date is insanely good...I'm still waiting on the first Kickstarter I backed in 2011. I'm also getting my Legendary Realms terrain shipped this weekend so probably get both about the same time. Honestly, I've learned to not pay attention to the delivery dates anymore as most are way too ambitious and a majority of the projects I've backed usually run into issues (particularly when shipping/printing in China due to a number of factors out of the project's control which is why I'm not expecting my Dwarven Forge stuff in October, but hey, if they do make the deadline, bonus!).
I just got my shipping email today as well...
For the DF KS, I'm hoping for Christmas, but bracing for Valentine's day (or later) anything sooner is gravy AFAIC....
I got my email for delivery.
Reaper just added a countdown to their main page for shipping out the rest of the orders .
Me too me too! Should hopefully have it Monday.
I'm sure it will go up. My order has 29 line items and I know other people ordered more than me.
Still waiting on my shipping confirmation.
Looks like the average order thats left has between 13 and 14 line items in it, interesting to see if that goes up as more ship
Wow, I wonder how many line items are on the largest order.
On the other hand, my poor little 3 line items still have not shipped. :-)
I am sure that there are at least a few that have ordered one or more of everything, thats I think 60ish line items if you include all addons and extra sets?

Strange, they have been doing 4-5 with a few 6's today. I would have thought they would have already worked their way through the 3's and lower already.
Heh. Reaper's site is getting crushed from all the excitement.
We love you to death, Reaper!

Most boring countdown ever!
I'm on the other side of the world, so the live countdown may as well be a painting, as they are all asleep by the time I see it :p
Got mine today.
Nethermaul looks awesome.
Evidently they are only running one shift, but they have doubled their staff on the shift instead of running two shifts. So it'll be about 10 hours before it begins again.
Oh just in case, my jibe was only tongue in cheek, I don't ACTUALLY expect them to work 24/7 :)
Currently working on getting all Canadian orders out, probably will continue through Monday.
They crashed their normal site with the counter, so they've moved it to a new page.
Yeah, got my confirmation email today. Todays a good day for us Canucks.
I realize there would be no way to know, but this does make me curious what the counter will read when my order is sent out. :-)
I got mine earlier today and I am wholly impressed with the quality of these minis. I remember various metal ones that were not as crisp and cleanly detailed, not to mention some of the other plastic brands that could seem a bit "gummy" with regards to detail.
As if there were any question, money well spent.

The past 3 years or so I have gone from not liking plastics at all to prefering them. Some of the various brands are now doing an excelent job that rivals the medium quality metals. When you get into the $12+ a mini range I feel like the metals can get details that I haven't seen in plastics, but most models do not need that and it takes a lot more skill at painting to make those look good. I also find plastics to be easier to work with and mod.

I got it I got it I got it I got it!
.... now to properly clean off my workbench to make space for it all!
Close enough to my birthday that it's more than present enough. :)
As for plastics versus metals, the only reason I like metals more is they are heavier (harder to knock them down as long as they're on a good base) and they hold their shape and can be bent back to shape more easily. I've already seen a few of my Bones I am going to have to give the hot water treatment to to straighten out a weapon... but that's okay in the long run. They still look fabulous and as plastics will be easier to convert too.
Question for those who have received them already. How are they, generally, in terms of mold lines and such?

I am only just starting to look over them, but pretty good as far as I can tell. Any I see will probably be handled fine with a quick application of a fine tooth needle file.
I dont think Ive been this excited for something to come in the mail since I was a kid :D
...and as plastics will be easier to convert too.
I think this is the thing I am looking forward to the most. Play around with creating my own combo figures. I have always liked how much easier conversions were with the plastic so Bones is a god send for conversions as well as collectors. :-)

Still haven't even received my email notice yet.
At the rate they are going each day it's going to take a month or two to get through all the orders....ah well.
Starting to feel a little like Morrie after the gang pulled off the Lufthansa heist.
there are 10,383 orders remaining. They are currently averaging 1250 orders a day. If they continue the current rate, and don't process any on saturdays, the final order should be processed July 11th... it does depend on keeping the current speed though
I just got the email with the tracking number. Now it's all down to how long it takes UPS.
Just got mine today! Huzzah!
Has anyone that ordered vampire plus one of just about everything gotten their order yet?
I just got my email! Vampire + 7 addons. On the Reaper boards I saw Vampire + 8 items got notified today as well.
Cool! That's good news, thanks.
