Hopefully it won’t take as long to get to you as mine did! It’s a lot of unpacking but it’s worth it. I’ll be opening up my add-on with the two extra minis that weren’t in the OG Kickstarter when they arrive! Yep, Matthew Reilly is one of my favourites, along with King and Patterson. Highly recommend the Harriet Blue series of James Patterson & Candice Fox if you get time. Thanks so much for watching!

Hey Lukey! The Dead West Box was for all of the Kickstarter campaign exclusives, so it will be incredibly hard to find at retail. Your best bet would be to look at second hand resale.

@@hpgamingau is that the same for everything else??? I only wanted the melting pot.

@@LukeyBoyAndTheCatlings I don’t think so. You would be able to find most of the expansions somewhere online. I will say too that the CMON campaigns have recently had second runs over on Gamefound, don’t k ow if they’ll do that for everything but it’s worth keeping an eye out.

@@hpgamingau I'll have a look, thank you.

It's an awesome game, Robert! I think they have just completed a new Gamefound campaign for new stuff along with all of the original components. You may be able to pledge there without the eBay loading!

Hey Luke! Thanks always for watching! The mini-expansions for this one - honestly - are a little hit and miss. For me, I like the idea of the Ponds expansion for two reasons: 1. It makes the game look even more pretty! 2. The additional round of pre-scoring before end game scoring (provided the patch doesn't have the most sprites on it) adds a little bit of strategy. Personally, the Wizards mini-expansion is my favourite. It creates a bit of strategy by stopping players from effecting the patch you're on, meaning they might not be able to force a majority. Spades is okay, the ability to remove a patch is interesting - but not as much of a pull for me. The player powers expansion is okay too - but there's some powers that are more OP than others - it's not as balanced as I'd like. But, just my humble opinions!

@@hpgamingau thx for your thoughts

@@lukeanzilotti9090 an absolute pleasure!

Thanks so much for watching, Way! Yeah, not a lot of Australian's out there doing content so we're trying to up the youtube game for us. The Arkham Horror experience is something that you can't truly describe to people unless you get them to sit at the table. Highest player count we've had is three, and it's just such a great, tense and epic experience every damn time. Hemlock has finally released here in Australia (the Campaign box has arrived and started shipping, with the Investigator box following later this week) and with the new model of release it's making it even more accessible to newer players. I still have Edge of the Earth sitting on the shelf, looking to finish up another run through The Dream Eaters first. Then I'll be taking on Hemlock Grove in true solo. If you get a chance, check out The Scarlet Keys campaign, too, it's awesome. But Dunwich Legacy still holds a soft spot in my heart. Keep investigating! - Matt

@@hpgamingau Thanks for all your kind advice. Si, have you played through EotE yet? Am curious as to your thoughts on Scarlett Keys for replayability and true solo? Looking for a new campaign to run true solo through first and foremost....

@@WayOfHaQodesh happy to help! Part of the reason I started the online store and the CZcams channel was to connect and help like-minded gamers find their new favourites... also helps to fund my tabletop board game addiction! Honestly, I've had some epic gaming moments playing these campaigns in true solo. Dunwich, Forgotten Age, Carcosa, Circle Undone and Innsmouth all offer their own unique flavour and style, and setting up for a session and tweaking my decks between games is an awesome - sometimes agonising - process. Scarlet Keys offers an epic globe-trotting adventure, and you have the option of either bringing down an organisation... or working with them against... something else. Not to push my store, but we do have a promo running at the moment storewide - 25% off EVERYTHING, including Arkham Products. Scarlet Keys Campaign is under $85. Check out www.hpgaming.com.au And check out Anthony's stuff too. Epic add-ons to help organise the table for your games!

@@hpgamingau Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.

Hey Maikol! Thanks for watching. I'm not 100% sure on the weight as it arrived separately and it's been a while since I had the box! But if I'm right the package weight was about 8-10kg. (17-22lbs)

@@hpgamingau Thank you so much for telling me!

That’s the plan! Just waiting for it to arrive!!!

Thanks so much for watching and for joining us on our Board Gaming adventures! Wondrous Creatures is awesome - we love it. Hoping to offer a play through soon - but we have a lot of content to produce. Hope you enjoy the rest of our videos!

Thanks so much for watching - glad you enjoyed it - I have another unboxing planned for this week with some awesome full colour robot minis. Can't wait to share it with everyone!

The looking good is a bonus. The gameplay is sound, and uses a collection of knowledge from Bad Comet's past kickstarters to deliver something awesome - and at a great price point for what you get in the box! Go catch those critters!

Pleasure Andy! The budding Junior DM in our house loves The Shivers!

Oh, you know it. They mean ALL of the business. 🤣

Lol I love it!

@@GameStorm68 that phrase and 'I dig it'. Two pieces of my vocabulary I need to ease up on! Lol.

You are fine, I can't wait to get my set, I love to paint and those are amazing!

@@GameStorm68 I've only just returned to painting after a loooong hiatus - maybe it's time to paint up a hero or two... Or a zombie hero - some of the zombie minis are just awesome. Thanks for watching, mate. Hope the wait's not too much longer!

Have you sent a support ticket to fulfillment? I do know that we started getting ours here in Australia a little earlier than the rest of the pledges. Fingers crossed it’s not too much longer for you!

Hope everything is OK,after already waiting for so long...

@@hpgamingau Ticket? At kickstarter or CMON?

@@Abaddon86 reading the last update, Indonesia and surrounds are all dispatched, save for some issues with tax and/or customs, but most of those subsequent orders shipped (or were going to ship) Monday just gone - 9 Oct. My guess is that you’ll likely revive it either this week or next, depending on your local postal service. 😊 If you want to follow up, use your backer number and either directly message CMON on the Kickstarter page, or one of the relevant fulfillment companies from their project updates. Let me know when you receive it!!

@hpgamingau thanks for the news, bro. I am ordered it via a local gaming store...later will double-check with that person in charge.thanks, man,now I can sleep well

Ciao, Tommaso! Grazie per la visione! Ho uno studio molto pieno, la parete di fondo è quasi dal pavimento al soffitto con giochi da tavolo! Anche il nostro garage è molto pieno. Sono contento che ti sia piaciuto il video! :)

Thanks for watching Mihaiovidiu! Yep, always some gameplays planned - it's going to come down to time and players who can get around the table! But we're working on it!

Awesome stuff, McCoy! Be sure to go through all of the boxes - there are some epic minis in there!

Thanks for watching Irakli! The minis are spectacular - really adds to the immersion in the game, and I have to say while I intend to put up a full review on the channel - this is an involved game. The sorting of cards and components has been made easier by the codes on the right hand side, but there are a lot of details re: combat, turn order, event draws, etc - and it's all fabulous! Even though the quests are setup the same, the randomness of the room generation with the dice drop mechanic, the blind tile draws for enemies and their orientation in the room means that each session will play so very differently. Had a session last night where my Orc tribe had to fend off many, many patrols that kept spawning, one of my brutes basically cut a path through farmers who kept running for the alarm bell. We lost one Orc, but Badass revived him for the next game. It's a great and tense experience and I can't wait to level up my team and get into the nitty gritty of Rekup and Krafting!

Thanks for watching, mate! It's an awesome set of boxes! Not going to lie, though, there's a bit of sorting to do and no real card dividers to speak of. Be sure to keep the 'hero' decks seperate, along with their specific event cards... you'll be using those a lot and have to shuffle the event cards into the event deck for each session. Happy Orc Raging!

Thanks for subbing! Really appreciate it! Hope you enjoyed the vid!

@@hpgamingau you're welcome. I did enjoy it.

Hi Vitas! Yep, I’m a fan of both… but I feel like Dune is leading the charge here!!

Thanks Doug! Much appreciated and thank you for watching! Are you waiting on a pledge too?

Yeah bro I am a Kiwi living in Japan but I am still awaiting fulfillment from the UK😢

@@dougsealy199 oh my! I hope the wait isn't too much longer - but I can assure you, it's worth it! The battle mode is kinda fun too - but most definitely the campaign is the highlight.

Thanks, Joe! It’s worth the wait for sure. That lithograph reveal in the core is awesome! Good luck with the campaign!

Very welcome PB! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Silas! I know! They’re an amazing set, the feel is awesome and they look great on the table too. I have found under some lights they can take a second to read - but they’re worth the extra hassle!

Thanks for watching, Chilli! And yes, I agree, I’m in the Dune camp myself but visually the table presence of Arnak is awesome. Also agree - Clank! is one of our favourites. Really looking forward to Clank Legacy 2.

Pleased to hear that, Nilanjan and thank you for watching! It's such a great design and the artwork on the cards and components is fantastic - you've captured the feel of the locations around the world really well! Hope the wait isn't too long for you to get your hands on your copy! Cheers, Matt

The Deluxe All-In Tier had everything they presented, along with the legendary unlocks as well as the accessories (metal coins, the epic playmat, etc). The only item it did not include was the 5-8 player expansion for Free Roam mode. Price wise, £249. Thanks for watching!

@@hpgamingau cool. I got a guy selling it to me for 150 USD!

@@dustin802 I will say the onsell for this game will be high. You'll get a chance to play through it all and still find a buyer after the fact. :)

Not an official space, no, but I do feel as though you could manipulate the contents a little to try to fit them in. I ordered the 3D towers to come with the Elemental set... (why I didn't get them first time round is beyond me!), so when it all arrives, we'll be revisiting that for sure!

He is huge. Absolutely as he should be. But I’m very much still trying to figure out how to store the dang thing!

It’s so brutal! But I think that’s why we love it. I haven’t played this in about a month. Will need to get it back to the table. 😀 Love the captain die idea! Adds a little more chaos, and a little more theme. Good luck on your future runs through the jungle! Thanks for watching! Keep pushing for that checkpoint!

It is indeed. Very cool. :)

We are working on this, but it's been tricky to lock down players and space to fit our Galactus friend in the frame of the cameras! We'll have something up soon! :) Thank you for watching!

Thanks so much for watching, DuStii! Be sure to share some shots once you paint him up - Herculean effort but I’m sure it will be amazing! Hopefully not too long before we get the rest - still a couple of months away I think. Can’t wait to show off the rest!

Good luck, Scott. I’ve tried to tell my wife, “with great power comes great responsibility…” but she wasn’t having any of it. 😂

Actually very good! The parts and joints are all very polished. I will say, depending on storage and where he’s left, he might a bit of dusting from time to time, but a simple wipe with a cloth should to the trick! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! It’s an amazing piece, but I have no idea how I’m going to store it. The base is massive. The boxed expansion would have been awesome as an add-on with just tiles, but I will say, Galactus set up with everything at the table… it’s pretty impressive. 👌🏻

It's worth it. Check out the Core unboxing earlier on the channel, the sculpts are just awesome. Thanks for watching!

I thought that might happen - Galactus is just so massive and the cards are tiny in comparison. Notes for next time, I should have brought the camera down for the box contents. Apologies.

Orko was a favourite of mine too, growing up. I had a Lashor action figure as well - it was a cool shade of purple, blue and orange. Miss those toys! Thanks for watching!

As far as I can tell, the rules for the base game are the same - players win or lose together, if one falls, they all lose. I will say, though, some of the upgrades and tech cards the players (be they zombie or supers) can collect do tip the scales in their favour, reducing Galactus' toughness by as much as two or three points. Having said that, it's a 'luck of the draw' card that kinda makes it crap when you're potentially close to victory only to have it ripped out from under you because of this one BS card.

Unless there are direct ways to mitigate or redraw those cards, I'd house rule that. Didn't pay $200+ for an expansion that makes me lose by a random card draw

@@thehaydenroper most Zombicide games are able to be house ruled, this isn’t really any different. Some of the cards to make it easier for the players, but that one card might find itself ‘out of play’ permanently. 😉

@Hayden Roper - That "Fit of Rage" card isn't an instant game over card. As far as I can tell, it should only come up when facing the living Galactus in "Zombie Hero Mode." It eliminates a Super Hero (living) and the players would be playing as the "Zombie Heroes." Essentially, Galactus would be attacking his own team to make himself stronger.

@@newbreedcreator you are 100% correct. It does specify Super Heroes rather than Zombie Heroes for that mode. I will say pushing the track up by 2 and potentially bringing another Master Plan card into play could have devastating effects, though. Tough times ahead for either side when Galactus comes to town!

Really!!! I thought that it might have just been a freak thing but I hope it’s not in all the boxes, sorry to hear that. Thanks for watching and I wish you well against the big man! Which scenario are you going to tackle first??

Is there any trick to unstuck the card without damaging anything?

@@xaviersavage8570 not that I could see. I wasn’t prepared for it in the vid so I just gave them a gentle tug and it came free, damaging the book a little. It’s not too bad, but based on the comments it’s clear that this isn’t an isolated incident. Hope this vid serves as a warning to check before you separate… maybe a slower process and a little knife or something might have made a cleaner break, but it’s as though the ink has fused together.

We need a Castle to play this game!!! But we'll need something bigger when Galactus arrives this week!

Glad you enjoyed it. 👌🏻😊

An app for Masters of the Universe like Strike Force??? Matel!!! Get on this asap!!!!

Apps in Brettspielen sind einfach nur affig. Da kann ich besser direkt ein virtuelles Spiel spielen… Nix Zukunft…

@@hlorridirudel9627 I agree! I don't want to keep having to drop components to reach for a smart device! I just want to play!!! :)

@@hpgamingau xD

Hey Chuwi, thanks for watching! Lucky was included at the higher tiers of the KS or available as an add-on, but was included automatically for backers of previous projects. They aren’t available in the base set. But they look awesome on the table!
