begins in 3 Weeks 4 Days
at least according to the count down timer on Reaper's main web site....
I know I shouldn't, I know I already have way more miniatures than I can paint in a year
but I also know I now have 3 weeks to set aside several hundred dollars because my will is weak and I am so going to buying into this

I cannot wait for the Tiamat to be introduced, plus currently the average backer is around $100 but once some more add-ons are unlocked I expect this to double.
I do like the henge, but not absolutely blown away by it.
Yeah, I just assumed that there would be at least $100 extra that I would want.

Not seeing anything that would make me want to jump on this one. Looking for more mutated/PA style offerings - or horror and there are only a few things in there that are catching my eye right now.
I'll give it a week or near close to check to see if there's anything they've added that fits what I am looking for.

Did you manage to get in on the Kingdom Death one. Some fantastic horror stuff in that one. Should be shipping soon too.

I like the look of Marthrangul, and I do want those Mouselings. There are a few nice looking things in the Core set too.
of course the big thing is seeing what gets added over the next few weeks.
I mean in about 36 hours they have hit 850K. Sure it's going to slow down as it progresses but damn that's a lot to get started with. Judging from the last two the Core tends to get pretty damn big by the end.
Glad I managed to squeak in at Wave 3 shipping

Backer #56, But that dragon and rider is amazing. I probably won't go for too many other dragons (except Tiamat). I'd expect around $100k a day until the last 48 hours, but hopefully by that time enough will be unlocked in the Core set that there's a bit for everyone.
I think your optimistic about 100K a day. Day 2 was 100K, and for kickstarters day 2 is usually in the top 4 grossing. I'm guessing closer to 40K a day. Slightly less than Bones 2, which averaged closer to 50K/day.

Caineach wrote:My Day 3 guess is that they finish at just over 2MI'd agree with this estimate. People are getting super excited with kicktraq numbers but those aren't particularly accurate.
Some of the stuff in the preview pictures posted online are pretty awesome!
My guess is that those people didn't follow the first few days of Bones 2 on Kicktraq. It was trending up well over 7M in the beginning . Kicktraq doesn't handle the exponential decay of the first few days very well with its initial estimates. The trend is never accurate, and the much more accurate projection takes a few days to be established. Bones 3 will follow the same trend of Bones 2, but it is significantly lower first 2 days (950K and 225K for Bones 2 vs 710K and 130K for Bones 3).
I have always loved how the first Bones defied the standard trend that Bones 2 and now 3 use. Its one of the few major kickstarters I've seen without exponential decay at the start.

I think that was because they gave out some good stuff in the core and intital targets very rapidly making it increasingly good value. This one isn't bad but it didn't take off like bones 1.
Additionally people have a lot of bones as well so while there were some very eager ppl for bones 1, they have bones fatigue/surplus after bones 2.

I've backed both previous Reaper Bones KS and am backing Bones III as well. I have so many unpainted minis, but these guys are just too cool and cheap to pass up ;)
Such a good company and amazing minis and paints.
The Core $100 sets are always a great deal. Hopefully the Bones III $100 Core set will come in at least around 150 minis again. $0.70 per mini is a great deal as they usually go for $2.75 per mini retail. So even if you only want a third of them, it's well worth it.
The whole thing looks great to me so far. I love their Heroes and Lycanthropes, Crocodileman! The Ogres are amazing as well.
Half priced paints in awesome new colors! The best deal. Not having to prime the Bones minis is a plus.
Value!

I would say this took off a hell of a lot faster than bones 1. It hit 1M in 3 days. Bones 1 took 25 days of Bones 1 to match the first day of Bones 3 and 28 days to hit 1M. Day 28 was when things took off for Bones 1, and then they just had to maintain and manage their 7-8 days of exponential growth.

Where did they hint at a PPM kickstarter?
*edit*
Ah, found it in their newsletter.
