@detrimental-fig, I think it might be an Alabama/local post office thing. My tracking was sort of the same. Stuck in Alabama "moving through network" with no estimated date, and then it just showed up. Fingers crossed that the same happens with yours.
not digging Nashorn. Not sure why. In theory, evil bad guy in black with red and a horned helmet should be a winner. Just something off about it. Don't like the add ons for him either in the accessory packs. The human body cast in all black is interesting tho. For a kitbash.
I would love to see a human figure from Series 2 next to a lemurian from Series 1. Because right now the humans are looking too proporionately the same as the lizards. And the wolf guy too. Everyone is tall and lean.
the Warrior with Ball and Chain looks incredible
I didn't notice until yesterday in the Conquest Pack, there is an accessory hook with a peg on it. to stick a figures "decapitated" head on. nice touch

Crucible figures forever lost in the Alabama triangle….
Wow, no updates, weird, FYI, wave 2 is up for preorder. I did the Wave 2 All-In. Wave 2 figures look great.
Yeah, I was surprised no one had brought the preorder up until now. I skipped all the wave 2 figures in the Kickstarter hoping to have wave 1 figures to judge. Goal accomplished. I'm officially down with this line.
While I want to go all in, I'm not sure I need a bunch of dudes, though they all look good. Definitely want Frazetta but it's kind of a toss-up after that.
Glad we have till mid-August to order.
Don't lose hope. My SC wave 1 from the KS shipped from Birmingham AL going to middle GA took like a week and a half to get here (it's a 5 hour drive). Especially if it had to go anywhere near the distro center in Palmetto GA, that place is a massive clusterf*ck.
Well the good news is my stuff did finally show up. I blame the Alabama post office for being poop.
The figures are still great, I was mostly picking up stuff I skipped during the Kickstarter cause I didn't have the money at the time. But man, the more you play with these and get these packs that have extra heads and armors, you just want more and more and more to "customize."
And the feet still suck. Like I know that's a problem from my order from Kickstarter, but man it's such a bummer. Beautiful, beautiful figures that're hindered by that one thing.
They’re not doing themselves any favors by going silent during this pre-order window. At least put some stuff up on Instagram or something providing brief bios of the characters or descriptions or something. I’m leaning towards not pre-ordering any figures for that reason and just order a single one from a retailer later when I could easily be convinced to order 3-4 directly from them if they’d put forth even a little effort to sell their new characters.

Ya, their communication to backers/customers has been pretty spotty. I think they tried to do better, but I got tired of trying to keep up.

Why not just order figures you think look cool instead of based on some text associated with the character? It's not like there's years of media which may have influenced you into liking a character. This is a brand new property. Make up your own backstory if it helps.
I waffled too long on ordering any of their wave 1 stock. Was only going to get a couple of figures and the accessory packs to supplement my KS order. BBTS' preorders are sold out, but I'm sure they'll have extra stock once the receive their shipment. Wondering when that'll be.

Maybe I didn’t explain it well the first time but going off just the look, I would only order ONE (maaaybe two) but that wouldn’t be worth it with the shipping charges so I would just wait and get it later from a retailer. But sometimes these new IPs can draw me more into a character with a great backstory or bio or if they’re an integral character in the overall story and I would potentially purchase more directly from the company. In this case, I want one of them no matter what, one I’m on the fence, and two more are currently passes but I could be convinced into.
Also, Savage Crucible had an in-stock sale of the first wave for two weeks leading up to this wave two pre-order. I think they closed it with both Nin Vilimir and Komo not yet sold out so they may still be available again in the future.
Was extremely bummed that their site wouldn't take either Affirm or Sezzle virtual cards, but I managed to get the Frazetta warrior. Plan to put him with FG Darkwolf & Teegra.
I guess they're granting a bit of an extension. Wave 2 still available late Saturday morning. Thanks to the Cosmic Legion preorder, I'm bowing out of this wave but will be back for 3.
I was always less interested in the human characters anyway.
Out of an abundance of curiosity, I'd love to grab a couple of figures from this line to check out. But the economics goes out the window with $15 shipping if you only order one figure. I might try to grab the Ball & Chain Warrior from BBTS, aiming he ends up there. I'm still looking forward to the fish men from wave 3 the most.
This really never happens to me, but I kinda wish that Ko'Mo figure was available in 1/18 scale. I don't generally collect that size, but it reminds me of this old "Dinosauroid" idea from the 80s and I'd love to have one to go with my 1/18 Beasts of the Mesozoic dino collection.
