It's now the final week of the Heavy Gear Blitz Peace River & NuCoal Core Plastic Miniatures Kickstarter. After reaching our initial funding goal of $25,000.00 CAD, early in the campaign, to make a first plastic injection mold and give backers some nice plastic miniatures for the game, we have unlocked the first four stretch-goals with over $35,000.00 CAD pledged and have looked at what's reasonable to expect in the final week of the Kickstarter, and updated our stretch-goals and plans accordingly. The campaign page text, reward levels graphics, stretch-goal graphic, some add-ons graphics, and pledge calculator Excel sheet link have all been updated.
The next major goal is Stretch-Goal 09 at $50,000.00 CAD pledged for a second plastic injection mold that will include core Fire Support and Recon models for Peace River and NuCoal. Dream Pod 9 is committed to reaching this goal, and unlocking the second mold and making the Backer Reward Packages some really amazing deals. If needed, we will run an extra funding campaign after the Kickstarter ends, using our pledge manager website to reach the goal.
We have updated Stretch-Goal 09 to give backers an amazing reward. At $50,000.00 CAD pledged, we'll be adding three Crusader IV (FS support unit) and three Skirmisher (RC support unit) plastic miniatures to the Peace River Army Commander, Badlands Commander, and their Hero of version Reward Level packages. Plus, we'll be adding three Chevalier (FS support unit) and three Jerboa (RC support unit) plastic miniatures to the NuCoal Army Commander, Badlands Commander, and their Hero of version Reward Level packages. With this, a Peace River or NuCoal Army Commander reward level will each include 18 plastic miniatures for $70.00 CAD pledged ($3.89 CAD per mini). And the Badlands Commander reward level will include 36 plastic miniatures for $100.00 CAD pledged ($2.78 CAD per mini). Plus, we have made available all four plastic miniatures as add-ons for an extra pledge right now for backers that want to pick up extras, and make full Fire Support or Recon squads (combat groups) instead of support units for the GP and Strike squads.
We had planned for a third plastic injection mold at $75,000.00 CAD pledged that would have included the Peace River Argos, NuCoal Arbalestier, and Stoneheads badlands terrain as plastic miniatures. But for the final week, we have pulled back on that plan, and are now offering the Argos and Arbalestier as pewter miniatures in the add-ons for an extra pledge of $22.00 CAD each. Plus added our previously available resin terrain packs of four Stoneheads in Sand ($22.00 CAD) and four Stoneheads ($28.00 CAD) to the add-ons for an extra pledge for backers that want to add some gaming terrain.
Thank you to all our backers for your amazing support so far, we'll be working hard to get the word out to more potential backers this final week. We think the updated reward packages at Stretch-Goal 09 are amazing deals, and should help convince a few more to show their support and click the Kickstarter link here.
