The post this is confirmed
Thanks! That's also what has been surmised before, since it's the only metal figure in the bunch. Still a good deal for those of us who have no use for it.
Do those deep-dwellers look enough like Kopru to anybody?
Even after contributing at Vampire level there is so many more addons to pick, I didn't even include my namesake "mythos monster".

Just wait for the moment when your pledge gets over 200 and you realize you could double vampire pledge and trade both sophies in for 250 worth of minis....
I... I didn't consider that... this means that for just $31 extra, I can get all of the minis I'm currently down for, and double up on all of the Vampire minis!
We are now past the $2M mark.
This is insanity :) Or possibly: THIS. IS. REEEEEAPER!!!!

This is such a good deal. I dont want unpainted minis and even I'm considering buying them - how stupid is that?
I hope they dont end up with a whole bunch of shiny, new moulds and a saturated market.

I already know that I have to buy more copies of some of these, but 200 was all we could squeeze out this month. If I had known it was coming I would have taken time to save up money for this.
I suppose these will have to work for now. I doubt they will keep me and my mother busy for overly long. We both can paint at a respectable speed and with free time on our days off we may just paint unless its game day for us.

I don't think I'd call 11,000 people a saturated market at all.
That's the number of backers they're slowly inching towards. Out of all the people who know about Reaper miniatures and who might buy more minis in the future. Not to mention those who can't spend a large amount for the Kickstarter, but who'll buy the minis in smaller quantities afterwards.

Like I say, I hope you're right.

Please explain.
If you order two Vampire Pledges, you get two metal Sophies, so you can trade both Sophies in, for an extra $50 in miniatures. I think it was a simple 'slip of the tongue' so to speak.
Managed to get a friend to go in on a pledge together. Is it wrong that I'm deliriously happy about this?

Umm... no. Should it?

Damn...
I'm currently pledged at $280. I'm wondering if it's worth it to bump the extra $20 and just go for Undertaker, then trade in the 3 Sophies for $75 worth of extras. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....
It's a little unclear as to whether or not Undertaker is equal to 4 Vampires or 2. It looks like it started as 4, but Undertaker only gets 2 of each stretch bonus instead of 4... so maybe the math works out to approximately 3 Vampires.

Am now one of the many Vampire + backers... and am giddy at the thought. I'll be adding the Orc pack + the half sized heros.
Anyone calculate just how many mini's come it on the Vampire pledge level?
Reaqper have been - if you scroll down to the version of the pledge about a third of the way down (the one in the appropriate place in the costings), they're summarising the total - at last stretch goal I believe it was 216 bones, plus Sophie
Yeah, gonna try and talk my friend to trade in Sophie for the Nethyrmaul undead dragon. Our local Hobby Store owner ordered two Vampires, I think, one for himself, one for the store. I'm gonna see if we can't get a group shot of all the minis when they arrive. Would be awesome!
Yeah I'm dropping about 500USD into this thing.
Saw some calculation that if you just get a Vampire (without extras) the real dollar valure is currently slightly over $1000. I'm not sure on this, as I'm not sure how much bones minis sell for, but either way, I'm freaking happy about it!
Thanks mate :)
What is the typical cost of a Bones miniature in a retail store?
Currently all Single Bones miniatures are priced between $1.99 and $2.99. Packs with multiple miniatures are between $3.49 and $ 5.49
Obviously, this doesn't take into account the larger minis as this was posted 3 weeks ago, but it's a good baseline. 200 Mins at, call it 2.50, is going to be about $500. These prices are, I'm assuming, for the normal PC Minis, not the Giants and Demons and stuff. So I'm going to make a guess at closer to $650 total value.

The $1000 estimate was using the metal mini prices, since most of these are re-used sculpts.
If you check Kicktraq, they made $400,000 yesterday and if they match that today and tomorrow - the final total will be $700k higher or ~$2.8MM.
I dont think it will get to the 2.24m stretch target... its a bigger gap than the previous stretches and with just 32 hours left I ain't sure it will get there... that said? OMG - I can't believe the OUTSTANDING value here. So excited.
Currently Kickstarter is having an issue with proccessing new pledges. It is getting an error between Amazon and Kickstarter. That is why it hasn't increased in the past hour or so. Before then, it was going up a couple thousand dolars an hour, and it picks up significantly arround 11AM Eastern time and goes fast through the day.
Edit: also, so far today they have made over 100K. It took a few more hours yesterday to hit that number.
Looks like the processing issue Caineach mentioned is over. Go pledge before it happens again!!!
I've been up all night for various reasons. Started watching the Pledge Amount about 9 hours ago. It was 2.1 Million almost exactly. So in 9 hours it's gone up almost $120,000. It was going up, on average, $10,000 an hour, and then sped up in the last couple hours.
I think we'll make the final Stretch Goal.
$30K between 10 and 11 Eastern Time. Wonder what the next goal will be, and how fast it will be demolished.
Kicktraq now estimates this potentially hitting 3M. I would love to see this become #4 on all time kickstarters. It already is number 5.
I'm thinking there's one stretch goal left in this thing. Two would be amazing.
Thoughts?
I imagine all the fence sitters have to make a descision. And the descision is tasty with all the stretch goals. I think 3Mil is possible (and 2.75Mil probable). all the Kickstarters I have seen really ramp up as time ticks down.

Rofl, more like 20 minutes (from the time of your post).

Thoughts?
I think we will hit 4-5 more stretch goals, with 150-200K between goals. We have more than 24 hours left, and yesterday they had 420K. We are blowing away yesterday's pace, and I'm guessing today will be ~600K (already at 175K). Then tomorrow I'm guessing will have ~500K for the partial day (closing arround 6pm Eastern Time). Kickstarters have exponential growth on the last days and people send links to friends.
Out of curiousity, for Pathfinder RPG what would you use the following monsters as?
Mythos Monster - the one with the big sphere
Mythos Monster - the blob with all the teeth
Qlippoths (from Bestiary 2).
Which are basically mythos monsters.
They could also be used for some weirder oozes and ooze-like abberrants.
Just found this on the Reaper messageboards:
You will be able to use the PM to add to your pledge. We designed it to account for math errors, but it will have the side effect of allowing, for roughly 30 days, all users to add to their pledged amount.
moneys raised via the PM will not be able to unlock goals, as the drive will be over, but they will enable us to make more things for you as an individual.
We encourage you to pledge what you are able to now, to help the community unlock rewards, but understand if the PM must be used due to timing of finances.
