Just a bit of fun, lets see who gets the closest.  ;D

I'm gonna guess 1200 backers and $150k.

500 - 75000...

I'm a pessimist and never disappointed  :-\

^ Of course, these things get easier to guess as they go along!  ;D

It's looking pretty slow at the moment, I don't think the special characters supplement is going down all that well, it's a pretty vague goal and mantic hasn't specifically said exactly what characters will be added to the special extras once the goal is reached. Need those trolls up to get it going again.

Ronnie rolling on a bed of money like Scrooge McDuck...

787 backers $98,000

I always expect these things to be fairly front-loaded.  Once you hit a goal, then start hitting stretch goals, things should taper off.  The people who are really enthusiastic will tend to get in early, and you may see a few trickles in later.

I'd expect around 550 backers and around $78,000.

Someone, somewhere posted that these Kickstarter things are U shaped.  So, we can expect an big surge in about 2 weeks.

650 backers for $89,000.

I still think a Ronnie bobble-head would push it higher!

Yeah, either me or Truehammer has definitely won this as far as the total amount goes.
The number of backers prize is still up for grabs, though!

Post by: Llew on June 20, 2012, 08:44:19 pm
Yeah...I wasn't even close.  I'm glad to see this much enthusiasm for Mantic, and I'll end up with a whack of new toys out of it.  Still bugs me being that far off.

It's too bad we didn't have a "Will AlexHolker approve of anything in the Kickstarter" bet running.

I am completely surprised at the level of support this thing got.  It is great!  So many new toys to sit on the shelf and wonder about when they will get painted.

Wow, I'm happy to say that I was way off the mark.

Now, now gaarew. You know damn well he would still find something to complain about and turn her down.

The honest answer is. The only thing he likes is the sound of his own voice when complaining that, yet again, things haven't lived up to his expectations  ::)

Clan Truehammer wins the "amount pledged" contest!

Gaarew wins the "number of backers" contest!

Also:

Average Pledge Per Backer: $226 (lines up so well with the reward level!)

How were people able to keep their pledges so low?

Hello. My name is Darsc, and I'm a Mantic-holic.

I had help keeping mine low: we're dumping all of our money into our business.

I smuggled a bit out.

Shares in Guinness will plummet in order for me to pay off my credit card.

Plus I feel that bad at getting so much free stuff, I'm going to order some stuff of the Mantic shop ::)

I was just gonna keep it at the $275 level of pure Werewolfness, but was suckered in by the 'slightly different and unique' resin Ogre Hero, so just bumped it to $500 of pure Werewolfness.


****, £200 MOT, £220 Road Tax, $500 Kickstarter, **** knows how much trip to Mantic Towers at the end of the week, via Scarborough...


This has been an expensive month.


Thanks Credit Card...

And I found out (like a week ago) I have to goto Gencon this year, so I have to spend like 5 grand to get that taken care of -.-
