-Loki- Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 3 hours ago, BrownieTheOne said: I'm a little disappointed there's only one Cat King in the box. I may not have played much Hamelin, but there was seldom a time I only needed 1 Rat King. And between the actual box's 4-7 cats, and 4 more cats, I really don't need more cats. Guess I'll make myself some Rat King proxies or something. These sets are exactly whats in Brotherhood of the Rat, divided into 3 sets. 1 set of Cat Herders and 2 Princess with 8 Alley Cats gets you that sets content. Brotherhood of the Rat also had 2 sets of 4 identical rats (also the same as what was in Hamelins crew box) and 2 identical Rat Kings. So it wasn't exactly unexpected. Especially after we saw at gencon that it was divided up this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this is based on previous Wyrd Black Friday (and general) sale experience. Every other sale the web store closes going into the sale and then opens and has both the LE and normal mini's available in addition to books and other knick-knacks and all of these can be ordered and count towards your sale total (but not shipping and such, that does not). So if you wanted you could buy every faction shirt and a plushie and get a couple of historical-alt models thrown in to the bargain. The newsletter seems to confirm this its every $100- (US) you spend at the store in actual Wyrd products before tax and shipping. Alternate models like the alt-Hungering Darkness were specifically announced as general sale items. Normally the Limited Edition models, including the nightmare and special sets (as the LTD Winter Wonderland indicates that alt Raspy Xmas set is) are not ever available in shops or on the webstore except during the sales as long as Wyrd has stock available. I'm not 100% on these points but I've been a Wyrd-sales slave for years now and that is how its always been I'd expect if it was different this time Wyrd would (or will) specifically announce it (like they announced that the alt-Nekima and alt-Huggy were getting future general store release). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozydar Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Correct me if I'm wrong but if I spend 200$ I will get 2 Vintage models, Am I right? At least this is what Wyrd said. "In addition to all the special figures being available, we'll also be giving away one free Vintage Master (of your choice) with every $100 you spend during the sale!"

whodares Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Entire Hamelin cat crew? COUNT ME IN. Rip wallet though, shipping to Europe and customs will put me on 250 - 300 euro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yool1981 Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 The prices are really above my budget for plastic toy soldiers unfortunately. I was interested in the Dark Carnival, the Alt Coryphee and the twisted Raspy. 90 USD for DC and 35 USD for the Coryphee are just too pricy imho . The Twisted Raspy is 75 USD which is imho barely OK, even for a LTE. That's 200 USD for 2 crews and 2 additional medium base models. That's the equivalent of 4 normal crew boxes (at Wyrd store price). Additionally, if I remember well the last time I ordered from Wyrd directly, the shipping costs from the US to the EU were very high. 2 vintage masters are not really apealing imho, I'd rather have the shipping costs free of charge than 2 minis I will probably not use. It's a pity, the concepts are really cool. I wish I had money to spare for these. I wish you a happy Black Friday anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMorts has some on his unboxing blog: http://gmortschaotica.blogspot.cz/p/unboxing-malifaux.html There are also these Wyrd newsletters which show some of the others:https://www.wyrd-games.net/news/2017/4/10/easter-sale-newsletterhttps://www.wyrd-games.net/news/2016/11/9/black-friday-newsletter I think that is most (if not all) of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wrote above that I'm gonna go for the Hamelin cat box, but I'm in real doubt now. The normal one needs just the Hamelin box (50) and 1 Brotherhood of the Rat (50). The alt requires the crew box (90), 1 Cat Herder box (30) and 2 Cat Princess boxes (25 x2 = 50). It becomes 100 vs 170, which is just ridiculous in pricing. Since I would order the normal parts from my usual webstore, I'd end up at around 75 euro, which is 10 euro CHEAPER than the official Wyrd store. I also don't have to pay import taxes and the shipping is also a ton less expensive (5-10 euro depending on package) I can order an entire Hamelin crew with ALL the models you want (deso engine, killjoy, abominations, ...) for 150 euro which is still cheaper than what just the crew basics cost in the cat suits. This is a real shame as I'd love to get the cat boxes, but they are just too expensive to justify actually buying the entire set. 50 => 90 and 50 => 80 is just too much, especially for European customers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrflamme Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 It comes up a lot, but since these are sold a lot less regularly than their retail items, it might be that Wyrd has to price them higher than they otherwise would, to reclaim cost of development/mold/production (economy of scale). Still completely understand how it's out of your budget relative to other options, but it's not that Wyrd is twirling their mustaches while setting their prices. They undoubtedly have a rationale for why the prices are what they are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikes Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 15 hours ago, Memnaelar said: Just to be sure, it seems to say you get an alt-master for every $100 you spend before shipping/taxes -- so if I spend $200 before those things, I get two alt-masters (that I request in the comments) as opposed to needing to put in two separate orders (with two separate shippings) of over $100? Can we get an official word on this, especially since this is a departure from previous years practice? Wouldn't want to be caught with any surprises after we put in the orders.

Chris Rivers Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 So the free Vintage master is only the masters in the guilder store? So you could not get a Sokolov as your free model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akai Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Don't see Santana Ortega on the list. I wonder if that figure is completely out of stock...hoping it shows up the next online special. Also hope that vintage models will be available in future sales. A good chunk of my miniature budget have been invested into The Other Side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
