For me the Core and the Core Expansion seem like a good start, with the dragons, the kraken, and the goroloth added for flavoring. Verocithrax is the exception, as far as the dragons are concerned - he just does not thrill me. (Though I know someone that wants it for a Chaos dragon.) The Lords of Darkness look good, and I could really use that rat sorceress from Oh, Rats! - there is a wererat thieves' guild in Korvosa. (The figure is repulsive - that is an ugly wererat.) The furniture... always nice. Hmmm... they just added 1 inch round bases to the Core.... With Kelpies, a wereshark, and a sea hag in the offing.... Overall... not as exciting as the first Bones Kickstarter, but there is a lot of good stuff - just not enough dragons yet.... The Auld Grump |

Check out what the cost is for adding stuff on. Some people were noticing that some things didn't increase shipping much at all over certain values. As for my interests: Everything! I am more anxious at this point than last time. If I had to pick: The Kraken was my #1 request and maintain it being a top pick for me. The bases are a good deal and excite me too. |

Heh - I figured out what was bothering me, and it's stupid! I have not seen much by way of surprises. Instead I am seeing exactly what folks have been asking for! Hell, I've specifically asked for about half of what they are converting over to Bones. Kraken - check! Goroloth - check! Blghtfang - check! Carrion crawler - check! Hill giants - check! Devils - check! etc., etc., & etc.... I want to slap me upside the head right now.... The Auld Grump, but I keep dodging the blows.... |

Will some one please give this man blow to the head? At this point I'm up for everything but the paint, the case, and the big ugly dragon. I already have it in metal. And it is big. And ugly. |

I'm in for whatever I can get. Last time, it was such an overwhelmingly good deal that I broke my budget a couple of times to get basically everything. I went into the pledge manager to do that again, basically get everything, and was stunned by the total. Already it's over $400. And we're not yet at the half-way mark. Couple that with this is Reaper's second time around the track -- there are going to be fewer totally mis-priced minis (why didn't I get 10 kaladrax at $10, given the final price is $75?). So I can fill in the things I miss for a smaller premium. So, I'm going to have to pick and choose. And get fewer of things. So no mouselings for me (like them, would enjoy painting them, will never use them), probably no dragon add-ons (I have plenty, don't come up in play very much, take a lot of time to paint) -- unless I get one to sell on ebay. Etc. It's still going to cost me $$$. |

I am intrigued by the latest expansion. Ursala is my favorite of the expansion so far. They said the goals will be smaller and more frequent with more goals. |

I got all of the big models last time, I think I'm going to largely skip the big models this time. All the smaller character models, and the expansion packs are probably in my sights. I don't even use most of the large dragons and demons I bought the first time around. In fact, most of them are still in the wrappers/boxes. But most of the character figures will fit nicely. ~J |

I am having to pass altogether on this. Wallet tapped as having to take care of pre-Christmas expenses. ... Although I was tempted at the paint group and maybe a couple of figure cases... but, nyah! |

You could back at $1 and add on the things that you like. For me, I am in for more than I am willing to admit to my wife... |

Darn you beat me! I have been watching this to see when they updated...saw it pass the goal. So I find it interesting that they finished Expansion #1 before Expansion #2 started. Now that we see Expansion #3 is starting less than 100K after Expansion #2, I wonder if they will be running in parallel for at least part of the time. |

It definitely seems likely that they will overlap for about half the time (or more). It also seems as though they will be very different themes and therefore it might be a good thing to have them up at the same time like that. |

I'm guessing that they're going to wind down the additions to the core set (which is already a pretty danged sweet deal), and build up Expansions 3 and 4 and the places to put the upcoming 'free' expansions. I do wonder if Expansion 3 is going to have a focus on large(ish) scale Terrain and Vehicles (as what it has so far has a very Modern/Sci-Fi bent), or if it will be more of a grab bag like the Core Set is (though, from what we've seen so far, I'm leaning toward the first idea). I do wonder how many more Expansions they're going to pull out for this one. Personally, I'd like to see one for their Mech game, and one for another batch of Sci-Fi/Soldier figures, and perhaps a final one for more Spell Effect/Dungeon Dressing items. Either way, I definitely look forward to seeing how this plays out. |

I just kicked in last night and got myself a wave 4 shipping which I am pretty happy about. I like the direction the expansion set 2 is going. It would be really cool to see a huge set of military figs with siege weapons, multiple squadrons, cover and terrain, HORSES and military npcs. Anyway I am super excited for the next 9 days! |

Yeah... With how well this thing's trucking along right now (lowest day is still over 20 grand? Dang!), the last three days are going to be ridiculous! It certainly has the potential to hit 5 or 6 million, if it follows the pattern set by the last one. |

A special note, the pledge manager will be available in to December, so you can add-on and make changes well after the KS is over.

This article is very interesting: http://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2013/10 ... ts-record/ Apparently, Reaper has the title of highest grossing combined two-time Kickstarter campaign and they aren't even done yet. The total is currently at over $5M, which beats Double Fine's $4.5M. |

I'm actually thankful there's not a lot that interests me (that I can get to). I'm trying to put the breaks on @ $200 (cause cash is tight), but it has been very hard as I was looking at grabbing so many duplicate add-ons. With $100 for core + add-ons, which marginally pans out better in "bulk" over "wants" than getting $1 + $60 Core 30 + add-ons. This way I get extras I can trade off or give away, and it's only $20 more. Stuff I'm interested, but can't get to without buying are in the Expansions; zombies, barrow wardens, anhurians (sp?) and angels. Also, because the figures come in particular sets, this has saved me from buying crazy amounts of singles, like bookshelves, crates or bottles - cause then I end up with several pieces that I'm getting via my Dwarvenforge rewards (my wife pointed that out, and I slowly removed my Dungeon Decor I and II from x4 of each to just getting the I with the Core Set). Aaaand because I'm so picky I've dropped sets that included weird or undesirable (to me) figures like the Oh Rats! centaur gopher, gimp dwarf and otter caster. I mentioned that the Core 30 add-on for $60 ($2/mini vs $1.33/mini in most cases) seemed high compared to every add-on in the KS and asked for them to reconsider that pricing, but they seem locked on to that price as it's similar to what they offered in Bones I. But, I don't get, Bones I was a very different model than Bones II. $40 is totally comparable price-wise to all other add-ons. I've accepted their answer as-is, just seeing if anybody here had the same view point. I must admit I was all "I don't want another G Cube" when they showed it, but once I saw the concept, I caved - the removable junk pile in the middle is what really sold me (excellent job). I think that, the skeletons and the Sylvan sets are my faves.
