MVPs - for the Wyn!

Update #34 · Sep 13, 2012 · 24 comments

Good morning Sports Fans!

After yesterday's update on free figures and buy one get one free teams, we've only gone and knocked over another stretch goal - Wyn Greth'zki is in!

Now then, let's get some more teams...

$235,000 - The Judwan, Season 2 Team

Judwan - Alien Concept Art

The alien Judwan are unique in that they're probably going to be a team of Strikers - and they don't require a DreadBall Glove to catch the ball (well, this is the current thinking anyway, depends on the playtests!) If we pass this goal we will:

- add One Judwan Figure to Jack!

- add Two Judwan Figures to Striker!

- Make the Team available as a Buy One Get One Free!

Let's see if we can do the unthinkable and knock this goal over today, whilst we work up some more delicious stretch goals - please keep spreading the word!

      Greetings,

      Just a basic query about shipping. If we get a BOGOF will the full amount be put on the value or will the actual money paid be mentioned. I am currently living in South Korea and there is a 20% tax on anything over $150 added before we can recieve any package. My current pledge is $230 as I am looking at getting all 4 of the season 2 teams and the keepers as well as shipping. I don't want to be charged another $45+ on top of that.

      Regards,

      @Neil Shuck: See? If Mantic does not start to put subsequent stretch goals, it is impossible to get over $10,000 per day. I even think that we are reach a certain point of stagnation as the number of new backers is not increasing that much anymore. Of course there are those who wait till the last day and then pledge, but this is even contraproductive the way things are going.

      @Darkson - Mantic has confirmed that minis will be either single-piece or snap-fit so you can get gaming very shortly after opening the game.

      They have also confirmed that all MVPs will be in plastic on 20120901, but that may have changed since.

      Creator Anton Kuchman on September 13, 2012

      @Mantic - That's great news. Once you guys are satisfied with the acrylic pitch arrangement and pics are up -- count me in. I will also second the request for a spare deck of cards to have simultaneous games going =)

      Creator Darkson on September 13, 2012

      Will all of the teams be single part miniatures or Multi part miniatures? Will the MVPs be metal or plastic?

      Two for one is always cool.

      For the Wyn Greth'zki design I think head and arm B, and leg C look the best.

      @Mantic - That's awesome... Please do the bundles :)

      Loving the bundle(s), you've really nailed this KS thing haven't you!

      Creator Poul Erik Holmelund on September 13, 2012

      Keepers for Season 2 teams? Will there be something similair to the season 1 Keeper bundle?

    10. Mantic-logo.small

      Creator Mantic Games on September 13, 2012

      @ Anton - Stewie's gone to the manufacturer today to grab the board and take photos. If it's good, the plan is to post it up tomorrow.

      What we're thinking of doing is some easy 1-stop bundles - for instance, $65 Season 2 Bundle containing any four Season 2 teams of your choice and a Keeper set. That kinda thing.

    11. Image-231516-full.small

      Creator Anton Kuchman on September 13, 2012

      +1 for pics of the acrylic pitch complete with the sub bench, sin bin and scoring tracks. Those + another deck of cards will definitely have me increasing my pledge to include both =)

    12. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Steamerni on September 13, 2012

      I agree with Neil Shuck we need more levels between Striker and League Sponsor for individuals to up their pledge (help explaining it to loved ones would also be helpful) :-)

      Creator Lachlan on September 13, 2012

      I love the aliens - keep them coming!! What about an entire John Doe team? Maybe they come in various stages of growth :-)

      Creator Matt Houghton on September 13, 2012

      I want chainsaws !!! Lol dead ball zone had them :) give them limited fuel and a start roll so you have choose when to start activating it then you only have so long befor it cuts out and need restarting again maybe ?

      saw it stated in a comment from @mantic after they posted the Judwan that coming up was a Judwan MVP, The Zzor team and the Robot team and when the concept art was in it would be posted.

      Creator Martin Sugianto on September 13, 2012

      So what;s next after Judwan?IMO there must be at least 2-3 stretch goals to keep people coming
      I'm totally agreed with Neil, an extra of card, Refbot would be nice, and please add Buzzcut , Number 88, and Enforcer too
      A sketch of the rest 3 teams of season 1's Keeper would be great

    17. Ituneslogomandmpodcast.small

      Creator Neil Shuck on September 13, 2012

      I must admit, if the boards (both MDF & Acrylic) contained the subs bench and sin bin as well as the playing area, I would be more inclined to consider them.

      I know you are keen to offer a good deal to those who have pledged Cheerleader and above, but with the potential of 8 teams being purchased by a single player, the opportunity to purchase an 'expansion' pack of board, cards and RefBot would be a nice addition

    18. Missing_small

      Creator Brian on September 13, 2012

      Yes. - I would love to see a pic of the MDF board.

    19. File.small

      Creator James Curtis on September 13, 2012

      I can see your point moocifer seeing stats would be nice but I don't think they would have anything other then playtesting stats atm. For me its 'so its buy one get one free hmm, shut up and take my money'!

    20. Martian_front_avatar.small.small

      Creator moocifer on September 13, 2012

      It would be nice to see the stats of all these new teams & MVPs so we can judge whether to purchase based on more than just if the models are pretty ..

    21. Ituneslogomandmpodcast.small

      Creator Neil Shuck on September 13, 2012

      Unrealistic? Possibly not - it will 'only' take 300 people to take advantage of the BOGOF offer on all the second season teams to crack the next goal...

      But I agree that it would be very nice to see what the next couple of stretch goals are likely to be...

    22. Sonnia.small

      Creator Scott Porter on September 13, 2012

      A pic of the mdf board would up the pledge level

    23. Missing_small

      Creator Mephisto on September 13, 2012

      Today? This is not realistic. Except you put the next stretch goals so that people get excited about them and start pledging even more... IMO

      Today?? This would be awesome
