It's almost over. And it's insane.

They hoped to raise $30,000 for some new molds for their Bones line. They've topped $2.6 million. They've hit so many stretch goals that the base Vampire level buy in has become ridiculous.

It costs $100. Initially, that got you 60 minis and a special pre-paint Sophie mini of some girl on a bike.

NOW that same $100 gets you 225 minis and the Sophie one. And you can exchange her for more minis.

I don't paint minis and have no idea what the Hell I would even do with these and yet I'm still considering this.

Here's the image of what you get at that level. And if that isn't enough, there are a pile more.  :o

Holy Crap!!!  :o

Man, I've got 11 hours to deside.... like you Arctic I have no idea what I'd do with most of those but I do have some ideas for some of them......

Thats an incredible deal.  Unfortunately looking through the minis there I would probably only end up needing a handful of them as well.

Wow. That is so tempting.

And congratulations to Reaper for a mind-boggling success on Kickstarter!

I would find a way to use them all, I just don't have a spare $100 laying around right now, and hoarding the cash towards a reserve fund until I can find my next job.

Well, they ended up clearing $3 mil and adding a few more minis to the lot in the form of Necromancers.

I didn't go in for it, though. I just couldn't come up with a reason to actually buy them.

I would love to have been in this, but can't justify $100 worth of generic fantasy minis. If I were running a kick ass group of D&D players, that would be different. But right now, that $100 can be better spent on helping DV8 justify his $7 Star Fleet Battles purchase.
