I'm sure nobody has had that idea of yours... :mrgreen:

Had I been able to get in on Reapers mini deal I would have picked up way more than I should have. Would have probably gone for 8 or more vampire packages and then resold them on ebay for a moderate increase. Should have, could have, would have galore... At least you're thinking of others Sjeng. Those import taxes will help you make 'big money' and 'big prizes'. Back to drooling over stuff I can't get, yet.

Female minis just do not get as much use around my game-table, because there is only one female player and (now) only one male player. Reaper females are usually designed assuming there is a degree of abstraction between what constitutes protective equipage for a male and then likewise for a female--the latter simply requiring less. The swarms of bats, rats, beetles and spiders were nice. The giant head-smasher type monsters were also quite welcome--as was that big warlord griffin model. The gigantic dracolich model is a waste, though largely on account of a production accident where it was printed out in incorrectly-sized pieces . The other dracolich, the one that's not so giant, is so-so. There's a good stable of 1st - 3rd level dungeon hack fodder in there, too.

Well, I'm gonna tell you something now, and I need you to sit down for a second...

Are you sitting?

Reaper has been working on a line of miniatures made from PVC, a white rubbery material, slightly bendy but VERY detailed. These are a lot cheaper than the metal figures. To get this line really rolling, they did a kickstarter last year, and people JUMPED on this. You could score over 210 minis in one package for $100,-. There were lots and lots of optional addons to buy too. You will cry if you see what you could get and missed this superb KS. So don't fall off your chair when you see this.

I'm waiting on my double vampire + extras to arrive. Some people on the forum have also participated on the kickstarter, and some even already received their kits. LOTS of Reaper goodness.

edit: gah, Ivenbach beat me to the punch... Well, I hope you were sitting before you read his post
Reaper kick ass. Awesome minis, superb quality, great company.

BANG CRASH KATHUD (jaw, coffee cup, me, hitting the floor) :lol:

all I saw was "see this" and forgot to read from the start

That was my main reason for wanting to get in on the kickstarter. Glad someone else was so-so on the humongous dragon models. Dunno why they put some of the huge scale dragons in there but obviously people wanted them. Just keep scouring and there will be one at a decent price. I picked up a kobolds someone was selling. Also saw they had some other minis that I could use and broke the bank spending just over a dollar each for the 2 extras

. Not bad as it turned out to be under $9 for 14. Now I need to lie to myself and tell my inner child that I can sell my extra copy of HQ.

Just spotted these for anyone interested.

PS: How much do primed minis sell for? May be selling off some... Maybe
