Over 500 backers! Patches have been unlocked and $150k cleared. With 20 days to go, I'd really like the MTF and Henchman figures unlocked before the last day surge that we expect.

Got to talk a bit to Troy of Grindstone Toys today at RetroMania. Super cool to see the prototype in person! Can't wait til this backs!
I'm currently at the all-in level but I'll like do a double all-in because they look so awesome and I want to bust some Commie skulls! |

Watching this Kickstarter campaign and comparing it to the Callsign: Longbow website, I think it is interesting that some of the revealed stretch goals are not even characters mentioned on their website: Ghost, Krasny-Ninja, & Henchman (Track Suit). You got to think that some, if not all, of the remaining stretch goals are characters from their website. With that, so far, there is only one female character in this line up. At what stretch goal would you like to see some of these other characters unlocked? Guys like Double-Tap and Tank look like they would require new tooling from the already revealed designs. Do you think Stinger (the female character) will see the light of day?

it didnt even occur to me that the actual production amount would be a reason and it makes sense after that explanation.
but now, im like "man. i'd rather the marauder figure been pushed down so more original characters can be made" but then also realize how marauder collectors are probably a decent chunk of where the money is coming from and the marauder guys are likely helping getting it made. the all in, eh, im still not entirely thrilled with that. i really am starting to have literal nightmares over the stuff i have, the stuff i've not even opened, and just the literal lack of space. i have space for 11 original figures, i do not have space for army building anymore. my armies from days of army building are all sitting in gallon size ziploc bags or their original 6pack boxes in a closet practically forgotten. |

i mean that in the sense that:
im not army building anymore and im not interested in it. i dont collect 1 in the card 1 to play with. i have a ton of stuff just not displayed because it's just so much. the notion of adding more to it, that breaks both of those rules, keeping what i have from being seen kind of sucks. |
