Marauder KS "bundling"

[Keenan]

I'm in too.

 

[WVMojo]

Count me in for a couple. Not sure I'd need a bunch as I don't really dig the lower legs, but to support the companies on the potential that they make something else sure.

 

[NSA]

Mr. Fogg.. I can handle it if you want, we can make it an "official" site buy in. I already dropped $100 so we can add to that.

 

[Relecant]

I'm interested going in on this. Apparently a raise was received in the household today, so I can swing funds originally for something else to this.

 

[NSA]

Congrats on the raise

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That's when it funds and when whoever makes the order would be charged.

Within a few days of that is probably okay, but that's ultimately up to whoever makes the pledge and fronts the money.

Unless we hit on enough people wanting 50 figures before then that we have all 50 allotted, that is.

Gotcha...

But those neekid Boss Fight guys, you'll be all over them right?

WHO WOULDN'T?!

Right on. That way you get to handle all of the logistics.

*shakes hands*

YAY!

 

[XOC2008]

I'll go in on this. I have to wait a couple days to see what my finances are like, but I should be good for $50 bucks or so. I think a couple urban figures will be right up my alley.

 

[Monkeywrench]

There is always lots of talk etc, what sets this apart is these figures are (allegedly) ready to go for production. They did the bulk of the 'hard' work before even showing anyone, which takes some balls I guess.

We'd all like more figures, it's just getting the 'hard stuff' nailed down first that seems to be vexing people.

This^^

NSA couldn't be more right.

It does worry me that the figures won't be ready until next year though. That kinda sucks.

 

[NSA]

Yeah, though, I guess 8 months turnaround time isn't terrible, 7 months or less really considering they don't get the money till a couple of weeks after the KS ends.

Now if those dates hold up is another story, but so far so good.

Cool, thanks.

 

[darthdre758]

I will go in for sure on $100.

I want to get this to whomever is handling the money asap. If not, I know I won't be able to do it.

 

[Topside]

I might be able to/ want to do more but I won't know until later in the month.

Currently expressed interest in splitting the 50 figure level:

• Fogger - $112 (8 figs)

$616 pledged, 44 figures spoken for (out of 50)

Did the math wrong initially, and there would be 1/2 of figures stuck somewhere. $56 for 4, $112 for 8. Basically figuring $14/figure.

So if you want more, add $14/figure till we get to 50 figures.

PM me for payment info!

 

[fogger1138]

What happens if we go over 50?

 

[NSA]

I'd assume start a new list? 50 seems to be the max per pledge.

 

[Giga Bread]

You can get multiple gifts with your pledge. If we go over, we can add to it. It might change the prices for the late comers though

Put me down for 4.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Isn't there a level above the 50 fig level?...it's like $900something IIRC...

 

[Giga Bread]

Yeah if we want to share the prototype

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I would think something like that would be exciting only to that goggles guy...

 

[Giga Bread]

But here's the thing. It actually makes me think he's a lurker here or just really self aware of how things can be done better despite how much slobbering goes on at HT. We bitch about weapon scale, he comes out with a better scaled versions. We bitch about starting a KS with only drawings, his next one as master prototypes.

I mean, he basically is my future competition, but I gotta give him props for at least continually changing unlike Hasbro.

So in other words, lets keep griping over needing more military accurate figures and we'll probably get them.

80's/90's fatigues I think would be perfect for the ARAH lovers for their base security. In the comics, the Pit was hidden under a military base and had regular military personel topside.

If we're just getting a prototype, I'm out. Dividing that thing up between us is too biblical for my tastes.

No one's suggesting getting and splitting up the prototypes.

 

[darthdre758]

I call dibs on the prototypes head.

 

[WVMojo]

If we did have enough to hit the prototype stage, it could be given away as a contest prize for only those who threw down to be in the group buy.

 

[fogger1138]

The prototype level pledge only comes with the prototype and the 6 figure "Captain" level. There's no point in us going after that.

And there's only one left anyway!

Marauder usually has at least one push-back on release dates, so I'm putting money on a Feb.-March '15 release.

 

[Slaymaker]

Put me down as a maybe too. I already went with the $195 pledge on my own...but would grab a couple or 3 more figures to help you guys get to your $695. No other toys to buy for a while...so why not.

 

[K-Tiger]

Merit's AV-8B.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

TONS of 3rd party TFs

 

[fogger1138]

Lost Planet, Acid Rain...

 

[K-Tiger]

I like the Lost Planet figures less every time I see them. I have a feeling the articulation is gonna be gimped.

I'd say Marvel Infinite and SW Black 3.75" wave 4, but let's be honest, 12 stores in the entire country are actually going to carry them.

 

[Slaymaker]

Merit's AV-8B.

No thanks

TONS of 3rd party TFs

Never have been a TF fan. Movies are entertaining...toys...eh...

Lost Planet, Acid Rain...

I am more of a modern Military guy...these are just on the edge of being too Sci-Fi for me...lower legs have been mentioned here before so no need to go into that...

This place has turned me from a nostalgic Joe collector into making my own stuff from mixing matching many things. Acid Rain is cool...and might bit on some...maybe...

I'm not sold yet on the LP figures either (for the same articulation reasons), but the mechs look great to me.

 

[K-Tiger]

I was never gonna buy the mechs, so they didn't register one way or another.

Yeah, seems stupid. I guess for people who like those sort of things? I'd think it'd come with the $395 package at LEAST. But who knows.
