I have slots available for either Vengeance or Shattered Timelines international shipping if there is anyone who wants to pledge (or up their pledge), but just can't afford the $40 international shipping costs.  Just respond here or (preferably) PM me.

EDIT: All slots currently filled.

And don't forget that >G stated that International Backers could combine the ST and Vengence into one shippment and only pay the $40 once but it would mean waiting six more months. Or they could pick everything up at Essen.

I'm based in the UK and have pretty much the same quandry - I am happy to put $40 down for shipping for Timelines for all the promo stuff, especially as it seems i was essentially undercharged shipping on the last kickstarter by >G, but just can't stretch to anothr $40 for Vengeance - $80 on shipping alone way outta my range!

Incidently I've been lurking on these forums for ages and haven't just signed up to bemoan my shipping plight!

oh, wow. Should we actually get to the $150000 (seems a bit much), I would really appreciate this! I've barely been able to justify the initial $40 shipping for just the expansion by telling myself I really want to be a part of this, and convincing someone to share the costs, but that's not going to work for another $40 shipping, I'm afraid.

 

You're amazing for offering this, by the way.

cgrater,

Have you shot them a PM on the Kickstarter? They're usually very quick to respond to those. I'm just assuming they'll be fine for Vengeance if they're fine for Shattered Timelines and have upped my pledge accordingly to cover the people I'm helping.

Yup.  Just waiting for a response.

 

I am only looking to back people that have already paid shipping once for the core game and can't handle paying twice.  I have proactively upped my pledge to cover, just waiting on the OK from >G to open up the slots (which it looks like some are already filled :stuck_out_tongue: )

Hello cgrater,

 

Please could I have the privilege of enjoying the fourth slot in your generous offer? If so I will likely back for two copies of Vengeance so will make good use of it :-)

Hey everybody - still pending a response from >G (think they are away from the internets this weekend)

 

Based on who who has responded so far, it looks like I have 4 slots spoken for, two still open.

 

Keep in mind that this is not official yet, we are still pending a response from >G

They already said that if you pay for Vengeance, you get Vengeance.  Pledges will get it in October  with free oversized villains if we hit 150, Spring 2014 if we don't.  The only way we will make $150k is if people pledge for it now.  If everyone waits to see if we hit 150k before pledging for Vengeance, we won't make it.  If everyone who had pledged for the expansion as of Nov 15 upped their pledge to get Vengeance, we would already be over $150k.  I am just trying to do what I can to make it possible for people to up their pledges.

I'd love to take you up on your offer, if there are still spots open.

Currently pledged at $30 level plus $40 shipping to Australia. Another $80 is more than I could justify before Christmas, but another $40? I think I can manage that. PM me if the offer is still open

Excellent!  Thank you Paul.


Of the six slots, currently 1 is still open. If you would be able to purchase Vengeance, but cannot afford to pay overseas shipping twice, please let me know.

 

If you have already been given a slot, please up your pledge to include the $40 purchase price for Vengeance.  I've got your shipping covered.

Hello cgrater,

I'm Gabriele Stecchi from Kickstarter, just received a post from Daniel Norris about your great support for us, overseas backers.

It is really possible? If it is, thank you so much for your generosity... I'm going to raise my pledge by $40 for Vengeance (right now at $80 for Shattered Timelines + Unity + Ambuscade + shipping to Italy).

* EDIT *

Already raised the pledge by $40!

Sincerely,

 

Gabriele Stecchi

Thank you very much! I just pledged for 90$. It will take at least a year, but I will get all that extra stuff I was dreaming about for the last weeks watching those updates on the kickstarter ^^

Now I´m crossing my fingers for the project to get to 150K or I will have to wait 6 more months. At least I got into the game recently so I have a lot to play while I wait.

Thank you again, you are the man.

Hi I am quite awestruck by your generosity in making this offer!  If there is a slot going I would love to put my hand up for it - I'm already backing the base game and other expansions, and more than willing to up my pledge for Vengeance.   But honestly cannot afford an additional $40 in shipping.

When vengeance was anounced the project had around 90k and 1500 backers. If every backer ups their pledge 40$ to get vengeance that would make the 150K. I assume that not everybody will pledge for vengeance (I don´t understand why thou), but I´m sure new backers will join the project (I did ^^, and in fact, the project has now close to 1650 backers). So... It will be hard but it can be done. Just for the big efford and generosity showed by Cgrater, it should be acomplished! :D (I´m really really grateful)

One slot that I had reserved just opened up if anyone needs it!

 

Heck, at this point, I will back a single international shipping charge for either Vengeance or ST, whatever someone needs.  Let me know!

 

The Kickstarter ends in 7 days, but I will not be allowing any more sponsorships after the 48 hour mark.

REPEAT

I will be finalizing my pledge at the 48 hour mark.  If you need help with international shipping, contact me NOW.  Don't wait!

Indeed Cgrater thank you very much!! Not very people are so generous so as to spend two months worth of savings into getting more peopke to know a game.

You are assuming that overseas backers only pledge for vengeance…and I know a few that are not, so my guess would be somewhere around 2k :slight_smile:
