![]() ![]() stl KS use plastic and resin from China. I'm still backing some "Made in China" KS, but I'd still yellow flag a KS until I knew they didn't have to manufacturer or use supplies overseas. They didn't have to, especially a week before their next KS. Kudos to Reaper for posting this on their forums. Some orders will be delayed but we will do our best to keep the ship date we promised. I hope we can resume production on March 22, but I really don’t know. The labor shortage situation has been improving but this shutdown will derange our production planning’s. No production nor logistic activities are allowed and so we have no choice but to shut down our production. In Dongguan, where over 50% of the world’s toys are produced and our factory is situated has been locked today to March 21, 2022. "I trust you are all doing well, but the situation in China is getting worse due to the Omicron pandemic. During Ubisoft Forward today, Ubisoft revealed a new Skull and Bones gameplay trailer, surfacing new details about the game. Sure, Bones VI production is months from now, but did you think, two years ago, that CoVid's disruption of supply chains and increases in shipping costs would be like it is now? > I'm also keeping half an eye on the planned Gloomhaven minis kickstarter.īTW, Anyone know who's the creator? Sure hope it's not Blacklist Games!Īnd here's an (old) email from Reaper's manufacturer in China for Bones 5.5. You can still buy their retail miniatures! (: Make sure you're a fan because they give you the miniatures you want, not because you wish they were better! a coffee maker, blender, clothing) because, by the time it comes out (especially with delays), a better version of it will be out there. I don't buy anything that "you only need one of" or something that a big box store might carry (eg. > I'm having trouble justifying paying over two years in advance for something I might no longer be interested in when it arrives, in general or because something I like better has come out in the interim, as in the case of the Wizkids and Pathfinder minis. Basic economics is that utility generally decreases with each incremental purchase. > and the gobs of unneeded minis make the KS campaign process much less appealing to me nowadays. Bones 5 probably praked out for me, I am likely to spend about the same on Bones 6, but it depends what is on offer. My Bones expenditure has roughly doubled each time since my first dip with Bones 3, I missed the first two or I would have sunk cash earlier. I have masses of unwanted junk Reaper miniatures from previous Bones campaigns, but each as packed with something else worth the price and then some. Reaper are noted for the large number of junk miniatures in their sets. The higher price does not faze me as all prices are headed that way.Īlso if there is too much junk and not enough good stuff one can buy items from the core set separately and the solo price is reasonable, if the separate pieces amount up to a significant portion of $125 USD it pays to just get the core, you can always give away the excess. The Core set will be massive, and a bargain by past account. IIRC, It's all in Bones Black? Still, a good addition for anyone without a ton of zombies, and prices to be expected with today's global situation. Assortment looks less novelty-oriented than last Bones, though. Have too many of those (CMON, Mantic, etc.), and preferred the various humanoid races and weapon loads of previous KS. I'm spoiled by the lower Bones I-IV prices, and note that the "fodder" miniatures this year are zombies. Nobody's going to pay $36 per model for an encounter with several hill giants.Ĭore set screencap. Pre-Bones Black, Reaper said one reason for Bones was to create large figures at prices the market would accept. If you know what you want, buy that instead of the bulk assortment. ![]() I securely package each miniature using a plastic bag to avoid scratches, bubble wrap and along with a few surprises in each box.Ĭhocking Hazard: These products are intended for Table Top Gaming use and are not for small children.Ced1106 wrote: > Saving some good money on larger figures or sets.The miniature can be for Collections, Normal use and play or any other need. ![]()
