Mine arrived today. I am so very happy. I hope the rest of you get yours soon. :-)
Hey Geraint!
I'm in exactly the same position :)
I expected the Bones in april, but now it's a race to see which arrive first. The Bones or my son, end of august :)
The size of it may I suggest its a Cthulhu Maxi?
Got my shipping notification yesterday, cant wait for friday!
For those wondering, the estimated delivery to me in CA is 3 days. Roughly 1,450 mile trip is 3 days for delivery.
My notification arrived yesterday, they are saying Monday July 1st!!!
| 6 people marked this as a favorite. |
Right now I am expecting two things: my first child (due 25th July) and Bones.
My first child, my daughter Elliot, was born the same day Rasputin Must Die! arrived. Whether she's the reincarnated soul of the Mad Monk still remains to be seen! Here's to raising kids right in the hobby. =-)
I quess that there are exceptions to what amount of line items they are shipping currently. It seems it's nine line items, but as I have only three and not received any emails it's not written in stone... Well, I'll be concerned only when their counter reaches zero and still no emails =).
|
They are shipping by amount of items in the order, not by how many lines it is. They are up to 9 total items per order currently, some people only had a few lines but multiple items per order that added up to 9 total items. I believe they are also shipping certain countries at a different rate/time but not sure how that is being done as it really didn't concern me.
I have 10 items in my order and expect I will have a mail today or tomorrow depending on how much they do.

The last estimate Bryan gave in the kick starter comments was that they should finish before they leave for the fourth of July if they don't have any more set back s of course then they had for minor set backs yesterday meaning only 700 orders got out
Edit:salama: this was also in yesterday's comments (reaperbryan posts an update in the comments during thier lunch break every day) "ROW (rest of world): your stuff is going US Postal, and we are anticipating 2 days of fulfillment there. I'm waiting on a phone call from the Denton postmaster to arrange them to leave us a truck rather than our usual carrier. "

About $540 in miniatures. I have friends who already have their Vampires but mine have yet to arrive.
The trouble is one of the guys who plays PFS with us seems to have disappeared on us after March.
He had a Vampire and case. I had not asked for payment because I felt that I could trust him enough tom wait for the miniatures to arrive.
Any ideas how best to sell off a Vampire set?
Also I had no intention of getting a case, but if you guys think it's a good quality case I would consider keeping it. I already have a few storage cases, I just wanted your opinion of this container.
The other problem is my friend who was going to paint some these minis for me in exchange for a Vampire set and paints leaves for overseas in a week. When the delivery date was expected in March I had thought even with a two month delay as a buffer, that would leave two months for him to get to paint some of those minis.
I'm not complaining, I'm very laid back, but the delay did cause some issues.

I would be interested in your spare vampire set if you want to unload it--I have one on the way but have regretted not getting a second. Don't need a case, so maybe that works for you. PM me if you like!

I'll take the spare case! I'm kicking myself for NOT getting one. PM me and we can work out payment details.
Back-o'-the-line, buddy! =-)
Hah! I meant the figure case and not the Vampire!! I don't have any storage as of yet!

I have not had my shipping call yet and this is my order:
-- Vampire x1 $100
-- Red Dragon x1 $10
-- Fire Giants x1 $10
-- Frost Giants x1 $10
-- Demons x1 $15
-- Forces Of Nature x1 $15
-- Fire Giant Warriors x1 $10
-- Deep Dwellers x1 $7
That's only eight items, so I guess they're not doing it by quantity. Or maybe things are different for those of us outside the states.
I suspect anyone with 'spare' items would have little trouble finding willing homes :p

Nope - the line item thing was only for the first 2000 or so they shipped out. Region of the world seems to be the deciding factor now with the US and rest of the world swapping spots. Some Canadian orders are held up as there is yet more paperwork to ship to Calgary (yes - just that one city is holding all of the Canadian orders up as they had to repack an entire pallet). They seems to be averaging about 800-900 orders a day now so about 11 more working days to finish.

You would likely get more for it if it was broken down into pieces (i.e. an all Orc pack, all Humans, Giants etc). Keep in mind people can buy a Vampire set for $400 right off the Reaper site with free shipping. Not saying you won't get your $100 back but it is unlikely to be a huge payday I would expect to be able to sell the box for about $200-250 the pieces for maybe $300-350 (assuming they all sell of course).

Calgary is UPS's main distro hub in the west I believe. So it is more than just that city.
Calgary's also been flooded, natural disaster-wise.

True that...
Got my shipping notification this morning! Actually, due to an internet outage on reapers end, and a server having a brain fault, I received my notification 236 times. Better than not receiving it at all though!
Kickstarter Sophie x1
Owlbear x1
Klocke Classics x1
Fire Giant Warriors x1
Starter Set 2 x1
Undead Paint Set x1
Starter Paint Set x1
Frost Giants x1
Fire Giants x1
vampire x2
11 items total.
My only regret is not getting more things, and forgetting to trade out the second Sophie.
Not sure if I'll get this delivered before the 4th of July holiday, tracking number won't be active until UPS picks up the package tonight. Chances are slim, but I remain hopeful. It would be awesome to have the 4th holiday to unbox and paint stuff.
492 mini's will make one hell of a picture.
Got mine yesterday afternoon. I totally lost my cool, shoved everything off the kitchen table, and unpacked each and every mini (ooh-ing and aah-ing the whole time) before realizing that, when you unpack that many minis, you have to repack them all, too.
It's a much less gratifying experience.
I just got mine yesterday. I'm very pleased with the giant Cthulhu, and he makes a great decoration for my computer.
I also got the Familiars pack, the Undead Horde, and the dungeon Dwellers (or whatever the kobolds and goblins are called). The familiars are great. Some of the skeletons are bent at the legs to the point they don't remain standing up, but some hot water and flash-freezing should fix that. Haven't really looked at the living mooks yet. They look pretty good.

Rest of the World is in holding at the moment; because it's going by USPS rather than UPS, and they don't normally have that many orders going USPS, so they're having to arrange a truck to come for the est 2 days it will take to move the rest of the world out. Unfortunately this is taking longer to arrange than hoped, so RoW keep being pushed back. From what Bryan has said over at Reaper you're in the first batch of 1500 ROW orders, whilst my 12 is in the later 1100.
Canada got 200+ packages through, but the rest got sent back for more paper work, so some will start showing up - but, only that many.

This might be a little bit off-topic, but does Canada have weird mail issues or something? I'm just asking because I'm having some international shipping issues with a different international crowd sourcing project. The interwebz is terrific and everything, but we can't have a one world postal system too soon, so far as I'm concerned.

Your shipment was postmarked on 06-28-2013 and is being shipped USPS.
Delaware City, Delaware.
JOOOOYYYYY!!!!!
Just got mine at the doorstep as 12:47pm PST (GMT-8). So it was 3 days for shipping from TX to Southern CA (roughly 1,450 mile or 2333.55 km trip).
I didn't unpack them ALL, but the Elementals and the Ghosts are AWESOME!
Kaladrax is super sweet, but (and maybe this is something with the size and the material, I've never owned one like this before) the sockets for each of the pieces of Kaladrax are a little loose fitting and prone to falling out. Other than that...wow.

USPS -> Canada post works great. Fed Ex works well. UPS with a border crossing is terrible in Canada.

QFT.
Received my plain vanilla Vampire package last week (on the east coast).
Edit: East coast of the USA that is, since the current topic is on Canada and shipping.

I see you already found a buyer for your spare vampire set, congrats Brandon_Hodges. Out of curiosity what did you guys settle on for a price? I kind of regret not getting a second vampire set and I wouldn't be sure what would be a fair price to offer for one at this stage in the game.

For those who are curious about the larger orders: quote from ReaperBryan from the Kickstarter comments:
"There were only ~250 orders with more than 40 Items, and only 2,500 (of 18,000) with more than 20 items."
Other info:
The Rest of the World (ie not Canada or the USA) has yet to have any shipping.
They also are talking of working this weekend to try and get everything finished by the 4th.
But they have been slowed down by having to put a team on checking Kally's legs as there seems to be a large number of errors with it. So for all you lucky things that have your orders...you may want to check your Kally's bits are all there.
Personally, in Australia and one of the 250 with over 40 items (the few the proud, the geeky), I am expecting mine to go out on the last day.
I too am in Australia with over 40 items...so ours will be on the same boat.
Wooot! got it finally.
