I have been told the container will be full, loaded, and shipped Oct 25th, which is different than what I had thought before. I confused "is in the container" with "is on the ship".

Ah, so the slow boat is still in china being loaded.

I will post an update here when the product lands on US soil, and another update when customs calls us to release it. The bad part is that customs never updates us. One day, we're waiting, and then suddenly, we get the phone call and have 24 hours to retrieve the product or pay hefty "storage fees".

So who calls you if the container goes for a swim?




And more importantly, who's boat are the reaper employees going to use when Ed press gangs them onto the recovery expedition?



And on the bright side, Razig's flag will get some time on the sea!

I thought a Barleycorn was .3 inches? so 40' would be 1440, not 14,411,347,517,730.5

You are forgetting to add in the depth and height. I do believe that is where the other pieces of barleycorn are coming from.

The site in question is converting units of length, so it should be 1440. If it were cubic feet, it would be 1,866,240 cubic barleycorns. On the other hand, if you wanted the cubic barleycorns in a shipping container... They're about 40' by 8' by 8'. That's 119,439,360 cubic barleycorns.

And now you know!

Hmmm... do Bones float?

I'm a bit concerned at what might happen is a few hundred Cthullhus end up on the bottom of the ocean.

I'd be more concerned if they came up from the bottom of the ocean.

There will be a new elf with bow (I do not know if he is a ranger or a fighter), female 2 weapon fighter (or ranger or rogue), evil humanoid warrior, medium/large dragon, Bathalian, Goblins, large spider, Unicorn, gargoyle, a skeleton with sword and shield, and an orc with sword and shield, a female Vampire (whose silhouette should be familiar to Kickstarters!) and a skeletal archer.

These 13 figures will be released (on the website, and fully shipped to distributors and retailers) as soon as we are able to get them packaged following their arrival. Stay tuned for updates.

Will this shipment also include the Bones that are currently out of stock?

Thanks for this.

Yes, but since the thread was about what the new 13 pre-KS Bones would be, I didn't mention them. Not only all currently out of stock Bones, but all Bones for which we predict we will be out of stock by the time the KS shipment arrives.

The seaweed is always greener
Than the tentacles on my face
You dream about sunken cities
And the old master race
Just think on what awaits you
Slumbering on the ocean floor
Such insanity surrounds you
What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
To die where it's wetter
Take it from me
Cthulhu slumbers in old R'lyeh
Where you will soon slave away
Better repent all your sins
The apocalpse begins
Under the sea

Ed has pre-emptively rented for me a scuba suit and a big boat. Kevin will ride in the shark cage with harpoon guns, providing security, and Kit will be live-streaming the recovery process. Ron will be radioing me unhelpful advice based upon his poor knowledge of nautical terms ("Two fathoms to your starboard, ye manky swab!"). Dave will declare independance as soon as the ship reaches international waters, and will ask to see my passport when I attempt to board (he will refer to it as an invasion) "his nation". Bribery will probably work to get out of the brig. Anne and Martin will keep trying to paint the jellyfish brighter colors, and Shannon will be actively trying to cut my oxygen and getting Dave to add that to the original insurance claim.

Sorry; I wasn't trying to be intrusive or badgering. I was asking because I was wanting to place another order to get the Bones figures I haven't gotten yet, and wanted to know whether I should wait and get them all at once or get duplicates of a couple of them so I have enough on the order now to get the free shipping.

[Reaperbryan]

it won't be for a minimum of another month, so two orders is probably not a big deal. If they were coming in a week, I'd advise you to wait.
