I don't know, really depends on what the freebies are that will go with this whole thing. As is, £75 is a lot for just the core game, not adding in the £10 shipping. Currently the only real free upgrade that we're looking at now is an extra batch of Face Huggers, everything else that has been unlocked thus far.. You'll need to splurge to toss it in.

Shame really, as this does look great, but with my current funds as strapped as they are and this campaign running just 20 days, don't know if I'll stay at £75 or drop out.

Not going to bother with a-la minute updates, but so far the female Predator, free Face Huggers, Colonial Marine sergeant and (nearly there at the time of typing) Alien Warriors have been unlocked, along with a free boxed set of choice for people who pledge "In the pipe, five by five" or higher.

I'm going to sit tight for now, waiting to see the rule preview, but so far, chances are I'm going to try and scrape together £85 for this. ninja

A lot of people were. But you can always re-sculpt the feet into boots if need be.

Hmm, they've definitely got some room for more add-ons, considering how fast they're getting pledges. Predators without armor, Alien queens, sentry guns... Interesting to see where they'll go. 3nodding

At the current rate, post-start up, it might become a struggle to unlock the last few goals on time, especially given that this is a campaign that doesn't run a full month. Quality of the models aside, they are rather expensive, which can scare away potential backers.

What I've also seen so far is..

- Free unlocks were not added in until the first few stretch goals were unlocked, after people got upset that there was no free stuff in there, which while always nice, is not a requirement.
- No Face Huggers were included with the core game until after they got thrown in for free!
- The creator needs to work on his people skills in the comments section and needs to double check for typos before uploading things.
- His previous project, Mutant Chronicles Warzone Resurrection, is as of yet not completely wrapped up, which can also backfire on him.
- No previews of the unlocked Alien Warriors or Berserker Predator! For someone who claims to have had a lot of time invested into getting things prepared for this campaign, it is disheartening to not get previews straight away!

Perhaps the biggest thing that sticks out for me is that this is an exclusive deluxe pre-order of sorts. The actual product that will be sold in stores will not feature the hand cast resin models but instead cheaper one piece plastics. confused

New unlocks..

And working towards these fellers..

Also, if the campaign gets 2000+ backers, every backer who pledges £75 or more gets to pick an extra £10 model for free.
