And there was great rejoicing! Without Robin's minstrels even getting eaten.
If ever we needed proof that you were tuned in to your market's needs, this post gives us proof. Every part of this post is good news. I'm thrilled about the braziers (and am ordering a bunch right away), and I think all 3 minis are great picks that I know I'll use.
Question: is the wagon Large sized? How big is it compared to, for instance, the cart and the horse?
And one last question, which I expect I know the answer to, but what the heck: Any chance of putting the horse on an oval base instead of a circular one?
Whatever the answers, all of this is very good news. Well done!

No chest, Erik states that in the post sadly.
Big thumbs up for the brazier repaint though. Got me 6 already ('m a sad creature)
Very nice choice of dressing to start of with. Well done Erik, has me excited for the next 4, and if the draft horse is even half as nice as the sculpt (and the larges usually are) he'll be a winner on my table. Am I right to assume the wagon is around 2" wide? About the same as the draft horses base? Well, I mean "planned to be" since its a digital sculpt. The cart just under 1"?

I'm a big fan of the "one per customer" restriction and the effort you put into repainting what you could (the brazier was the obvious choice). The cart and wagon are great choices for the next set too (albeit not to my tastes). The horse is long overdue in the PPM world, imo so great decision there too.
If these dungeon dressing pieces are popular enough, is there an economically feasible way to split them off from the monsters/NPC line? It seems to me there'd be no losers from the customer side then - more monsters for those of us who crave that and an easier and cheaper way to get dungeon dressing pieces for those who want the latter (without everything defaulting to rare, with the associated singles market markups).

I am just so impressed with the minis in this post alone that it justifies me buying a set!
Firstly, thank you for anticipating high demand on the brazier and making it available as a promo!
The wagon and cart are great, and always seem to enter into play one way or another. Its great to see these made as miniatures!
The draft horse is just the icing on the cake for me!
Not only are we getting a great selection of npc/pc figures, but also some great dungeon dressing pieces that will get used. Mounts / animals / familiars always help to round out the sets as well.
My wife is just going to be "so happy" with me when she sees the credit card invoice for 2 cases -- but clearly with this set I have no other choice :)

The cart and wagon are amazing and it would be a great idea to later offer a boxed set.
The draft horse will be great to get in numbers too.
I know you don´t have actual minis yet and hope to see some and the bar by early september, so i can preorder a case at my local flagstore if the humanoids faces look decent.
If most of the humans have 3 star faces, i´ll buy a case, if not just a brick or too.
Kudos to you for selecting such versatile dressing pieces, Eric!
I hope the other 4 include a large table, a medium chair and a medium barrel.
C u next week and thanx for everything and the fish.

We will check into this, but I believe that unless customer service specifically removes an item from your cart (and CS has not touched your cart), the only time an item can be automatically removed from your cart is when you look at your cart and the system finds that the item is not purchasable, and you’d get a pop-up at that time telling you that the item has been removed.
Is there any chance you accidentally removed it yourself?

I might have missed the "blocked pop-up" message from my browser since I wasn't expecting a pop-up and was all "schnell, schnell, got to order the dungeon dressing before it's sold out"
The Sarcophagus disappered between trying to finalise the order sunday and actually getting it done on monday. Didn't notice till the shipment notification got in.Another wiered thing that happened is: my shopping cart reset when I put items in a shopping cart without being locked in. Then when I locked in all items already in my personal shoping cart got replaced by these "new" items. So I refilled it with all the stuff I wanted.
After sending off the order, the stuff I originally had in there was back in my shopping cart again.

I misspoke when I said you'd get a pop-up; we avoid pop-ups on the site. The message is supposed to be displayed on the shopping cart page. I've had the tech team look into it, and it may not be displaying properly—thanks for bringing that to our notice, and sorry for the inconvenience.
Regarding your last paragraph, that's actually the behavior we want. When you're not logged in, we don't know who you are, so we give you a fresh cart. When you do log in, we assume that you probably want to buy the stuff that you have in that new cart, so that's the one we use until you check out. Then we look and see that you had a previous cart, and assume that you probably wanted to buy that stuff too, so we switch to that cart.

Re: dressing
No worries, I cought it quick enough to top up on another order from a supplier in Germany before that was shipped.
Re: shopping carts
why not just combine the stuff from the two carts?
Because: yes, I want the stuff I added while logged off.
But couldn't see what I had already in the cart till finalising the order.
So I basically guessed and added the stuff already once chosen to the new cart.
When the old cart pops up again, while I do want that stuff, I already have ordered it.
Or if I missed a bit, I'll either pay another shipment (and possibly run to customs a second time) or I risk that an item is out of stock by the time I order again.
Combining carts on login is what I expexted, but knowing it doesn't work I'll just log in first next time.

Erik, what are the sizes of the cart and wagon? In looking at the Pathfinder Minis website (Kor's), I notice they are both listed as medium. That seems pretty small.
I could see the cart as a medium, but the wagon I think would need to be large, and on the 'large' side of large.
That´s a wrong assumption from Kor, he often gets the size wrong because of time problems i think. The wagon is large.
Marco Massoudi |
Oh, ok, that's good (on the wagon).
And nothing against Kor at all, I really appreciate his website and have used it a lot. I just wanted to clarify (hopefully) that at least the wagon was larger than medium sized (which it sounds like it is).
Kor is great. His site is the best and most reliable one for Pathfinder minis.
I only wanted to state that he has not always the time to correct everything instantly but does so later.I emailed him a list of most Rage of Demons minis yesterday, somebody put up photos of most of them on facebook.

In this case, it is a copy and paste error. To save myself time I just copy and paste code and sometimes forget to change some of the info. I really should spend more time double checking my work before I upload it :)
On the plus side, this forced me to double check the site and I notice I had both of the horses listed at medium size too.
