People wanting to resell should not be upset in the least. There's over 200 minis in the vampire set. You know good and well that there will be droves of people who can not (or do not want to) spend $150 on a large amount of minis. They will be looking for one or two of these minis on eBay and will gladly pay $2 or $3 a mini. That's well over a 100% profit. Plus there are a bunch of minis in the vampire level that will net well over the average mini price (the giants, cyber ape, etc..).

Even if Reaper continues to sell the set for $150 on down the road there will still be a market for individual bones minis. It's like buying a huge block of cheese for $150 and then selling 200 slices for $3 each. Except Reaper's cheese won't spoil.

You came off just fine, Bryan. I smacked around one of the missing 100 this past weekend; he wasn't paying attention to the updates, wasn't aware he needed to use it even if he wasn't getting any add-ons.

(Anecdote time! I am aware of one person who *demanded* a refund and that we withdraw his pledge 3 days after the project closed, because he learned after the drive that these would be available for retail sale after the KS was over, and he felt "cheated and lied to" because he thought he thought he was "buying an exclusive, limited edition, collectible set of figures". Not making this up.)

Some people's children...

Hey, Bryan, FWIW I think you guess are doing a helluva job and I appreciate it. I know you've heard that a lot on these forums, but I figure it can't hurt to repeat it every now and then.

The words... They fail me...

Well I, for one, think it was very, very misleading of Reaper to straight out plainly say in the kickstarter page that this Bones kickstarter was meant to kickstart Bones production.

An ambiguous statement like that could be interpreted in any number of one ways. They should have been much more clear about it, perhaps using pictograms or smoke signals to remove any chance of miscomprehension.

I would also have accepted translation into eldritch sigils.

Futhark Runes would have also been acceptable.

And in other news, Francisco Franco is still dead.

Personally, I can't read or speak any language but words written in branded flesh, or spoken using the sound of Morgan Freeman reading a romance novel, with the sound clips being used to form the message. Reaper didn't accommodate me and I feel cheated and lied to.

Well, the point was that by bringing back up that the RPM was still live, I was reminded that I could still request a reset. I was doing a fine job of ignoring that fact until this thread poked me with a stick...

My pledge went up another $100.

/sigh

I do not have a date

Hey, man, like that was a lot of words and whatnot. But I did see this, so if it helps we'll all hold Buglips down and put a dress on him and you can take him to the prom.

[Corporea]

wait... you mean the kickstarter was for bones? not metal miniatures?! Oh no!!!

My kickstarter pledge was for metal mines.
