Minions and Maps arrived!

I just wanted to gloat a tiny bit. ;)

Anyone else got theirs?

Yup. And a spare copy of Tactics and Uprising. Making it my third after the same mix up happened with Wrath. Anyone in the UK want a set?

I think it a terrible injustice that we, loyal and rebellious colonists must wait for our shipments like dogs at the table of Great Britain begging for scraps!

No taxation without representation!

Repeal the Stamp Act!

Give me liberty or give me maps!

We shall not bow to tyrants across the seas and their earlier shipping ways.

They said they were going to ship in a different order so I'm not surprised.   However, I imagine that means us loyal and rebellious colonists should be receiving ours within the week.  

gloating increases

This was the mental image I got

I got all that and a full set of Tactics + Uprising + Miniatures etc.,(because I only included shipping once when I backed the Kickstarter). The box it all got shipped in was at least half my size!

And, wow, the maps are great! Never thought they'd lie flat, but they do (except the far edges maybe, but that's probably what snackbowls are for). 

You know what I don't even care.  Who cares about Citadels and Mars anyway.  If Mars was important it would be part of America already.

EXACTLY

Mine arrived today too.  Hooray!  :D  The printing on the Citadel of the Sun map is a bit fuzzy, but it is still readable.  In general, everything looks great.  :)

What material are the maps printed on?

From the look and smell of it, I'd say it's made of a nylon enforced vinyl weave with stitched edges.

Feels pretty sturdy to me.

It does smell like PVC, and reminds me of vinyl banners/signs.

Time to go get a storage tube to keep them in

Anyone in the states see their maps yet?

Every map I ordered has arrived.

But that's probably not very helpful for those of you who actually ordered maps.

I know mine has shipped, but for some reason it had to go to Kentucky before making it to Indianapolis.  (That's all on FedEx, though. )

wait how you know it's shipped Rabit? 

Also so sorry for all the questions. Don't preorder stuff online usually so just confused on what I am looking for

Mine has arrived! So people in the states have started getting them. The maps looks so beautiful...

I challenge one of the words in that post

if they shipped by Fedex,which I assume is the case as normal, you can have fedex send you an email when a package is set to deliver to an address.  You have to register an accoun through their site to get those notices. 

What Powerhound_2000 said. I don't remember when I set up the account, but it was a while ago…

The US shipments are going out, but slowly. They won't all be done sending until the middle or end of next week.

How do bribes work?

Don't you mean what I said?  Morph147 is the one asking the question 

You pay me money and I guarantee any that I get are immediately sent on to you.

UPS claims I'm going to receive something tomorrow. I had not realized, before this thread, what it was.

sigh Yes.

Not the best day. Sorry…

(Fixed)

Woohoo! It's delivered! 


And... back to work... 

I just got mine in California.

Hmm ... I have not received mine ...

I got mine today, so yours should be arriving soon. Hopefully. As long as the Mail Trolls have not captured it.

Have not gotten mine in Missouri yet

Mine arrived in MIchigan on Thursday. 

I have not gotten mine in Ohio.  I know they send by Fedex for the most part and I haven't gotten any shipment notice from them about this.  I can wait though.  

Has anyone who just got the maps (no minis) received theirs yet?  

Got mine the other day just before the Magic Prerelease. Three guesses as to what we did between FNM and Midnight (first two don't count)! Am I just an ignoramus or are the green-outlined spaces on WMB supposed to have some effect?

All green-outlined spaces grant cover.  Check the Insula Primalis tiles for proof.

Ah right! I keep forgetting that. Thank you!

Nothing in PA yet

We decided you don't get them. Just you. Everyone else in PA has theirs.

You know Craig likes you when…

The US Minions & Maps shipments are still going out and won't all be out until later this week. We send hundreds out every day, but there are a lot!

you guys need to pay tachyon more

I can vouch that this is untrue Foote.  No maps on the good side of PA either.

Still don't have mine in Missouri. Hoping to see them before my game night next week

Just got mine today, kind of suprised since I had forgotten that I'd added it to my pledge back during the kickstarter. I'm usually hard to surprise, but apparently I surprised me for my birthday, so go me! (now I feel old) 

Got the FedEx shipment notice coming from St Louis so I should have my set by the end of the week.  

Got mine today. They look good! The shipping box was pretty massive, and no packing so there was a lot of dead space. I dont think any of the packaging looked damaged though.

Some of my maps came out of the box with the side threading already loose and coming apart which was a real bummer. I'll have to see what I can do to fix that to ensure a long shelf life, but that was the only down side I saw.

Mine also arrived, look great and I already have ideas for fun to have.

Question:  Is it okay to post custom scenarios on the forums?

Lays at my front door waiting for the mail man. 

Just got a text from my wife. 

"Did we need all this new sentinal tactics stuff? How much did you pay for it?" 

My reponse

"oh it came from the original kickstater a year ago"

Her being overdue with a pregnancy i decided not to say "yes we absolutly need it"

So I guess next year when Broken City arrives you're going to be "oh, ths came from the kickstarter also, really."

That will just be the complete truth. " Yes honey we needed to get all of it, yes it was a lot of money, yes I will go sleep on the couch"

laying on the floor waiting for mail man for past two days is starting to hurt. 

THEY ARRIVED. 

The maps are great and some of the minis are downright gorgeous -- I particularly like Decoy Projection and the Omni Reaper -- but the best part for me, of course, are the The Deputy and The Broker.

Those are awesome Andy.  Great work.

A mini of yourself, so much envy.

I want photos of you and your mini at the same size thanks to perspective tricks!

The primary reason I want Cursed Acolyte to make it to Tactics is to have a mini of myself. I cannot wait!

just saw miniature market just started selling the maps today. Still havent seen mine from preordering them. Wanting to check to see if all the preorders have been sent out and everything.

Preorders that contained just the maps should be going out on Monday. We had a number of retailers that placed orders for them as earlier as 2014 that still needed to be fulfilled right after the KS backers.

thanks

well got my maps. now for the hard part. finding people to play. gag.

Has anyone else had damage to the maps from the rubber bands. Three of my four were so tight there is a crease across half the map. Does this relax out. I don't know much about this material. 

Mine came really badly creased, but I tossed the bands and they've recovered.

Yeah, I ended up putting some books on top of mine overnight.

It seems like with that material the rubber bands were hardly necessary at all.

My bet is they were just part of the packaging process. Having them held in place before being put into boxes probably made for a far more efficient process.

Thanks guys. I am much relieved. 

Hasn't one found a storage solution for these except the boxes they come in

That's what I'm using, although I'm thinking about doing away with the boxes and using Hugo's Amazing Tape to hold them wrapped.

sound good. That's what I am doing currently since I really haven't gotten to play them yet. Hopefully soon
