Any ETA on the kickstarter and/or the next grab bag?
Thanks!
No ETA on the kickstarter. This is part of a message that went out to people on the “kickstarter update” email list:
” I haven’t made much progress on getting a proof copy of “The Veligent”. I am still wrangling the process of making pdf files! Gad! Such an ordeal! …
I am now doing the whole thing over again, making new pdf files using a different program….
I am not going to set a date for the kickstarter to begin until I get all this nonsense worked out. I want to have a hard copy proof of “The Veligent” in my hands to be sure it is laid out properly, pages are in the right order,are a legible size and check for typos for the bazillionth time.I have also ordered magnets, and other cute junk to have as extra little rewards.
I’m getting there, slowly!”Thank you etruscan – I neglected to sign up for that list, oops. I appreciate the update.
Oh dear – Natasha, I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. Just ridiculous. I would have been completely overwhelmed and upset by that.
And yes, I agree with Tig3r06, all the comments are very helpful.
Thank you Jennifer, I guess I am just being overly paranoid (nothing new for me). I definitely see the difference!
Thank you all for reassuring me, haha. There are just some beautiful things that I’d love the chance to buy someday if the opportunity came up. 🙂
So I’ve been looking through the old eBay threads at Test Pieces and I’m wondering if I’ll be stepping on any toes if I post a want ad for some of them. Seems like many people have want ads that they keep continuously updated, but I’ve only been on here about a year, so I have no idea who may own what and/or what is a “never sell”, and I’m worried that putting up a want ad would be considered badgering, when really I have no intention of being annoying about it. I plan on putting the standard “if you own this and don’t want to sell, just let me know and I’ll remove it from the ad,” sort of thing, but since a lot of these pieces are older, I’m wondering if I should even bother putting them on my want list at all.
On the other side, I’ve picked up a few tests so far and I’ve answered a couple ads to let people know I had something they were looking for. In one case it ended in a trade, and in another I let them know they’d be the first to be contacted if I ever parted with that piece. It was all civil – and worked out great in regards to the trade as far as I’m concerned – I just hope the other parties felt the same.
Model horses are my main obsession, although my collection isn’t huge. I love Breyers, of course, but I also have some Peter Stones, a few customs and resins.
I also have a My Little Pony collection – mostly G1 adult ponies, but also some G3s, G4s and customs I’ve gotten through swaps, etc.
I have most of the “signature” Ever After High dolls, although I stopped buying them when the quality went down…as well as some random Monster High dolls.
And quite a few stuffed animals, mostly Beanie Babies, Pokemon and My Little Pony 😀I don’t have any good pictures of my office – which I call my “toy store” – but I have individual pics of most of my model horses and a few other things on my website: http://ashleyevans28.wixsite.com/dashesndots/model-horse-collection
I never seem to do this right, but here is mine. I believe she is the one in the store photo, middle row, farthest to the right.
She’s not super colorful, but she’s pretty, so she’ll probably stay (unless she was someone’s absolute favorite, then I might be willing to trade).She had a traveling companion in the Rainbow Coiled Mama, and also brought along a Fuzzy buddy! 😀 So cute 🙂
I got one, and I’m hoping for a more colorful one. There are quite a few in the last photo in particular that look very pretty.
So, what we got for a possible gb batch …
sitting baby kirins
a cart full of coiled mother dragons that take a globe instead of an egg,Yes! I would love to see both of these be grab bags at some point! Exciting!
