Highlights
This seems far too expensive and with so many repeated minis. If there was a meeple version that could half the box size and cost then this would be a much better offer. Please consider alternatives as this may not even fund, I think meeple would be better than standees but both are better than minis. Again 80-160 minis for the factions with 4-8 total unique sculpts, why?

Wooow this is crazy expensive, I was expecting $100 pledge, maybe $200 all in - Going to be double+ that with VAT/Shipping. I'm backing the base level for now but I might have to wish you good luck and step away on this - 22 days to figure that out I guess 😅
Price of all 4 minion expansions is $120, price of base game is $150. This pricing means that $120 of the cost of the base game only covers the 80 minions minis, and the $30 remaining covers all the cards, all the boards, character minis, boss minis, 50 plastic coins and rulebook etc. This doesn't seem to make sense, there's something wrong with these price points.
Please tell me there is a mistake on the expansion prices. There is no way that the plan was to sell 20 minis in a single sculpt and 1 card at retail for 50 dollars. That is so far past what anyone would pay and what any other company is charging that it has to be a mistake. Even $30 for what is included in one is overpriced. I understand that stretch goals are supposed to add to them but currently they are insultingly overpriced. You need to either lower the price for them or add the planed stretch goals into the boxes now, since it looks questionable if this will even fund let alone get any goals unlocked and the expansions are quite simply the worst deal I have ever seen in a boardgaming crowdfunding campaign. If something doesn't change I would be surprised if more than a handful of people will pledge for them
Is there any sort of insert included to keep everything organized? If so, will it include room for the 4 expansion boxes content? Can we get more details on the expansion boxes as far as how they change up the game? For this kind of money I want more details. There was quite a few heroes in the original, will some/most/all be stretch goals or produced later as additional expansions/content?

If there are only 4 heroes in the game how is this a 1-6 player game?
Project Update: RPG Designer Diary and Gloomhaven proofing
Gloomhaven
As we turn the final corner on digital proofing, full color samples should be finished and shipped to us by the end of the month for physical review.
We anticipated having eyes on the final GH2E production miniatures this week, but are being told the molds need another week or two so we're expecting to see our first off the line minis around this time too.
Raw materials for the full production run of games and accessories is being placed in preparation for a December scheduled to be full of mass manufacturing!
Minis
Unfortunately there is not much new to report here, as we haven't gotten anything actionable from the factory, but we continue to communicate regularly and should have more to show next time.
