EDIT: Everything is sold now.

Other. Germany, to be precise. Postage to the UK is £3. As for the price, make me an offer. Preferably one I can't refuse.

Sold.

Sure, if you put it that way... Reading the Kickstarter terms I know they can not legally be held accountable for being late, but reading Wyrd's statement: "We put September 2013 in order to give us enough time to get things right, but our goal is to actually deliver it sooner without breaking any promises or dates." Yes, they are late, no matter how much you try to spin it. Bottle caps or buttons or small rocks would be usable for the purpose you describe. The whole point of miniatures is their aesthetics. Wrong proportions and scale detract from that. Hence they are faulty. 11, actually. And I'd rather have four of each kind that I see as fit for purpose. You know, what I agreed to when I decided to back their project based on the information they provided. Wyrd are welcome to ask ME for more money for the extras once they travel back in time to undo a year of bad communication and deliver the product they promised in the timeframe they proposed.

So I am getting a replacement or a refund for the faulty miniatures you sent me as part of the eleven months late Kickstarter? Fantastic!

So much extra leg on the female minis...

Frankly, I don't give a rat's furry behind about Wyrd's future choices. Their past choices have ensured that I have no wish to interact with them in any way once this travesty of a kickstarter campaign is truly over (i.e. when I have the things missing from my pledge reward). As it stands, saying "your criticism is heard" and then turning around and doing nothing is just another slap in the face.

Apparently not.

What good is it for the criticism to be heard if Wyrd is unwilling to resolve the issue?

I have backed quite a few Kickstarters. Luckily there were very few where the creator had the audacity to say "Eh, good enough" and deliver a shoddy product (almost a year late, I might add). In fact there was only one that comes to mind, and that company hasn't seen a dime from me since.

Their proportions are off, both when looking at the female minis alone (their legs are way too long) and when comparing them to the male models. They are supposed to depict human beings. They evidently do not. Hence they are not fit for purpose. The miniatures I received are most certainly not what I expected when I gave Wyrd my money. Hence I want my money back.

Would you then kindly delete or move your own posts that are clearly not on the topic this thread is intended for, and not just those posts made in reply to them? That the posts you deleted were critical in nature was just a coincidence, I am sure.

So who do I turn to to get a refund for these minis that are not fit for purpose?

I simply find it unfathomable that they did not notice. That's a level of incompetence I simply cannot understand. Again, they are a miniatures company. This supposedly is their area of expertise, and they have been doing it professionally for many years. Of all the shortcomings of the Kickstarter campaign I find this the most shocking.

I think the issue is completely obvious when you look at the sprue for just two seconds. Maybe not that they are out of scale (for which you need a comparison to notice), but that the proportions are way off. They'd have to have sent them out without taking a glance at them, which does not seem wise. Otherwise they would have noticed. They are a miniatures company, for crying out loud, you'd expect them to have some expertise in this matter. Especially when the issue has already arisen before.
