    He's right people, and you've just 30 Days to get your pledges in!

    Couple of things for people to remember with Kickstarter:
    • Payment Is Not Required Until The End of The Backing Period.
    • Payment will ONLY be taken if the project successfully meets its Funding Goal.
    • The Costs listed will almost always be in US Dollars unless otherwise stated.
    • Pay close attention to the pricing; There is often a seperate Domestic/Us Price and International Price (Namely regarding postage/shipping fees).
    • You can adjust the amount of money you're willing to pledge at any time.
    • You can only select 1 Pledge Level, but you can change it at any time during the Backing Period.
    • If there is additional Figures or "Addons" you'd like, pay close attention to the prices detailed in the "Addons" list - You then add the required amount for that particular figure/addon to your existing Pledge amount.
    • Keep checking the Kickstarter page regularly for updates.
    • Remember that a Kickstarter Project needs the support of you & others to succeed, not only financially but by spreading awareness, so spread the word by any & every means available to you.






    (Updated: 12:35pm AEST - 28/02/15)



    I personally went for the "Play With Level 2": Bite Mark & Desolataur - Pledge Level, which costs (USD) $100 + $25 shipping.

    That'll get me these guys!






    If I can manage to save enough by the end of March, baring in-mind the late March arrivals of both MP Exhaust & Star Saber, then I'd like to also add another (USD) $72 (Includes Shipping) to my existing pledge so as to get a Bloodbath figure too!




    That'll do me I think, unless some of the stretch goals get unlocked, because then I'll definitely be adding a 3x Heads Pack and a 3x Staff Pack to my total as well!

    Let's see if this thing meets its Funding Goal of (USD) $80,000 first though.

    I don't really understand how this works to be honest, quite confusing (might be coz I'm on stupid shifts at work atm and my brain isn't comprehending it right.

    So if I pledge 72 I can choose one out of the 2 figures available, but if I pledge one of the higher amounts then add another 72 I can purchase that figure along with whatever else I buy?

    Yes, either Bloodbath or Desolataur.

    ...but if I pledge one of the higher amounts then add another 72 I can purchase that figure along with whatever else I buy?
    Okay.

    So if you decided to pledge for, say, "Play With Level 1" at $125 and then added an additional $72 on top (Then total $197), you would then be getting:
    • 1x Catastropheles
    • 1x Desolataur
    • And a single "Addon" figure of your choice between either Bloodbath or another Desolataur

    ...all shipped to your door, sometime around this time next year.

    Where it states: "Purchasing this reward allows you to purchase additional items" or "Purchasing this reward allows you to purchase additional items at checkout" - This simply means that your pledge level qualifies you to purchase "Addons".

    You see, if your pledge level is anything less than $55/$72 you do not qualify to purchase any "Addons" - i.e. You can't simply pledge for the Prints ($40) or T-Shirt ($35) or a GiTD Button ($22) and then expect to be able to purchase a $72 "Addon" figure on top.

    Does that help at all dude?
    (I can understand if it's been a long shift and all this is just blending together, I think the Kickstarter could be worded a little better )

    Thanks hurst

    Im back on a budget (ewwww) given that I decided to leave my job, but hopefully I can throw enough together to pledge.
    Sorry to hear you had to walk from the Job dude, never an easy choice , hope you're able to get in on at least 1 figure anyway.

    I thought I'd try to explain things in my post as I've seen people be interested in backing things before, but have been put off because they can't quite wrap their heads around how Kickstarter works.

    Being that "Lost Protectors" is now the 5th or 6th project that I've backed through Kickstarter, as well as watching/reading a lot of discussion on the subject, I feel I've come to understand how to go about participating.

    Thanks for putting this up Hursti I was curious to know what other people were going in for.

    I'm super keen to see PWTT's progress and this is my first kickstarter campaign that I'm supporting. Going in safe, I'm considering going in for both options 4. and 5. from the cheat sheet - Bloodbath and Desolataur. Not the best for value but will get me a good dosage of nostalgia

    No probs at all dude, glad you guys are getting something out of the post.

    Options 1 & 2 are great choices I reckon if this is your first dance with Kickstarter, both look REALLY good and are safe additions to one's TF collection should that be the focus.

    I'm just totally in love with the palette of Bite Mark, hence why I went for Option 7 - I'd of preferred an option that had Bite Mark & Bloodbath together, personally, but what can you do?

    Now you get to enjoy the fun part of slowly watching the project edge closer & closer to its funding goal, and if we're/they're really luck? - Beyond that and onto unlocking those stretch goals!

    I see they posted another weapon render on their Facebook page. Seems to be the mace weapon they advertised with their Jetstrike and Sir Fangramore LeVenomous figures.

    I sort of wish they would release these on Shapeways just so we could try them out on MOTUC figures while they are re-working their plans.

    I jumped in on this with the same pledge as you Hursty. I'm hoping that some stretch goals are reached, especially that Grimlock one
