Do I add to my 'lead pile' when I pay for the nodels, or when they arrive? For example: If I paid for a Kickstarter in 2017, but it arrives in May of 2018, do I count it again the 2017 or 2918 total? |

Are there rules? I would guess it's when you get them in your gruby hands to cackle over like Smaug. And then sit on them unfinished, like Smaug also. |

I think The Pledge is dumb.
But what you want, when you want. |

I don't know that there are "Official Rules." For what it's worth, I count them when I actually get them. Over the years, I've ordered things that didn't come or only got part of the order. Manufacturers have also been known to toss in a bonus figure or two. Grelber |

My understanding is that you can't buy new figures unless you can offset the new ones with the same number of newly painted figures. |

I count them when I get them. The "rules" are pretty loose to say the least and I think each participant has their own interpretation. Participating as certainly helped me paint more and kept me from buying without thinking for a second how would it would affect my Pledge goal. |

You can only paint what you have so surely it only counts when you get it. I also exclude the acquisition of all free figures (e.g. Salute giveaways), although obviously thee painting of such figures does count. By those rules I am +6 figures this year and may make it into double figures (and will have finished about 125 figures in the year). |

Winston How rude. If you can't something nice don't say anything at all. |

I agree with Winston, my only rule is that I don't spend "household" money on my toys. When I sell something or earn money by painting, then I buy things. Keeps the pile from bulding up. |

Hey, set your own rules. If you want to work a negative glide slope, then go ahead. If not, don't. SWMBO's version of the Pledge is, "Until you use one of each of these
you can't buy any more minis. |

etotheipi, does using Pledge in your formula for The Dip count? |

You ask, and I'll go get the bandages… |

Considering we may die when we finish our lead pile, i think we have to maintain a strict rule accountability. |
