As the title says I've created a list of all the currently available reinforcement packs with the original cost and savings . I have not counted for the actual savings on let's say something like Coldfront only offering 1 mini. I don't know how I'd work that out. But if you wanted to get them outside the Kickstarter that's the total you'd have to pay. Obviously in Euros as the CB store is in € Onyx reinforcements: • Umbra Samaritans (combi breaker) [blister pack] - €16.95 • Unidron (sniper) [Unidron box set] - €33.95 • Unidron (carbine)x2 [2/6 Combined Army starter] - €44.95 • Fraacta (spitfire) [blister pack] - €12.95 • Fraacta (shotgun) [blister pack] - €11.95 • Xeodron (Red fury) [1/2 Xeodron batroids box set] - €47.95 Total = €168.7 Total saved = €123.7 Morat reinforcements: • Kornak (mk12) [blister pack] - €11.95 • Oznat (combi rifle) [1/6 Morat aggression box set] - €44.95 • Gaki (ap ccw)x2 & Preta (ap ccw) x2 [4/4 Hungries boxset] - €37.95 • Suryat(HMG) [blister pack] - €12.95 • Rasyat(shotgun) [blister pack] - €16.95 Total = €124.75 Total saved = €79.75 Panoceania reinforcements: • Patsy Garnett [blister pack] - €11.95 • Kamau (hacker) [blister pack] - €11.25 • Kamau (combi rifle)& Kamau (multi sniper)[2/6 Varuna starter box] - €39.95 • Zulu-Cobra (hacker) [blister pack] - €11.95 • Zulu-Cobra (jammer)[blister pack] - €11.95 • Tikbalang (HMG) [1/2 Stingray boxset] - €54.95 Total = €142 Total saved = €97 Aleph reinforcements: • Shakti [1/6 Beyond Coldfront] €44.95 • Dakini Tacbot x 3 & Deva (spitfire) [4/4 dakini Tacbot boxset] - €37.95 • Deva (hacker) [1/14 Coldfront] - €89.95 • Rebots x2 [2/2 Rebots boxset] - €30.95 Total = €203.8 Total saved = €158.8 Yu Jing reinforcements: • Xi Zhuang & 2x mad traps [3/5 Dire foes 6] - €37.95 • Celestial Guard (control device) [1/4 Celestial guards boxset] - €30.95 • Kuang Shi x 3 [3/4 kuang Shi boxset] - €30.95 • Zhànying (hacker) [blister pack] - €11.25 • Sù-Jiàn x2 [2/2 Sù-Jiàn boxset] - €37.95 Total = €149.05 Total saved = €104.05 Nomads reinforcements: • Zoë & PI Well [blister pack] - €16.95 • Morlocks [3/4 Morlocks box] - €33.95 • Intruder (multi-sniper) [Beyond Icestorm] - €44.95 • Intruder (HMG)[blister pack] - €11.25 • Kriza Borac (HMG) [1/6 Tungusta starter] - €39.95 Total = €147.05 Total saved = €102.05 If anything is incorrect let me know and I'll fix it. I hope to keep this up to date with whatever packs unlock during the campaign.
By how you are calculating here, logic would apply that if I buy tire separate from car, I am actually saving like 20k € since I didn't have to buy car to get that tire...
I really don't think you can equate one with the other, As I said in my original post(I know it's long), if you want to buy these figures outside of the kickstarter then you have to buy the complete boxes that they are exclusive to(at the time of writing) they are not sold separately. I can't tell you the worth of one figure over another from any particular boxed set and some include extras like scenery and dice. To put it a way you might understand better it would be like if I wanted to replace my tires I would have to buy the whole car because the manufacturer only sold the tires exclusively with the car . Thanks for the imput. (Edited for spelling error)
If you want this to be correct, when mini represent part of a box you should only count part of the price, not the full price
As an alternate calculation where one doesn't include the price of an entire box when only one model is present: * Umbra Samaritan (16.95) * 1 Xeodron Batroid (Normally sold in a box of 2 for 47.95, so 23.98) * 3 Unidrons (It looks like the sniper from the Unidrons box, and 2 from the Combined Army Starter Pack, so about 8 or 9 each) * 2 Fracta (I can't tell which weapons they're holding, so it's somewhere between 8 and 11 each) listed as an add on for 45. Total is roughly 80 to 90 E or so. The Morat pack is: * Kornak Gazarot (11.95) * The Hungries (37.95) * Suryat HMG (12.95) * Oznat (I think it's the Oznat from the Morat Aggression Force box, it'd be about 10 as a single figure, but it's sold in a box with five other figures for 44.95) * Rasyat (16.95) listed as an add on for 45. Total is roughly 80 to 90 E or so. Again, that's about half price, but aside from the Suryat it's all either full boxes or models listed as single model blisters on the website. Note that there are elastic price considerations in there. In a box, a figure is usually around 8 or 9 per, while the same figure in a single blister may be 10 to 12E. Disclaimer: Listing the price of the Deva hacker from Operation Icestorm as 89E is about the silliest thing I've seen this morning.
The problem there is that certain minis in a box won't be available at a straight fraction of the price of the box they're in. Take the Kriza Borak for example, if you try to get one separately then you'll pay probably about 20 euros plus postage, if it's available.
It's a double edged sword, you miss out on some stuff and end up having doubles if you ever end up buying the box, but overall you get a discount. It all depends on whether you think it's worth it
The PanOceania and Nomad packs look pretty good. They have some useful models. The only issue would be the nearly one year wait...
Thanks for the info. I agree it's very useful for most people. And quite frankly, I don't understand the fuss about the method of calculation: it's as valid a way of putting it as another.
Especially given many of the boxed models are so sought after that Cho won't reasonably be able to split them for you. Looking at you, Red Veil Ninja.
