J_Bone, will the additional blitzer sculpts replace the duplicates in the original team deals, or are they in addition (i.e. getting six blitzers)?

Congratulations to your brother, by the way, I'm a big fan of marriage :)

Hi Rab! Thanks... The new blitzer sculpts will be to replace the duplicates in the team deals and to give 'Positionals' backers more choice. The campaign page will be updated to show this as soon as I am home :)

J_Bone, thanks for the info. We're hoping to be able to get a "League" deal for ARBBL together, we're currently at 3-4 teams wanted, just trying to bully... sorry, influence, the 5th. ;)

First of all, we have absolutely smashed €9000 now and are well on the way to the third stretch goal. I'm still amazed.

And secondly, I have stated that this team may be limited as I am not doing this as a main career. This is a little project that has absolutely exploded in popularity. While I do plan to sell the team after the campaign ends I do not think it will be available indefinitely.
I'm finally in with a complete team, the minis are exactly as I expected and hoped for, in size, shape and old school flavor!

By the way, as it probably be a very limited team, I must admit that I really miss staff minis... I would love to have the option, even as an add-on, to buy a doctor, a coach, a cheerleader and turn marker... even more than adapted Starplayers! Is there any options for that?

I normally wouldn't encourage bullying but if it's for a good cause it's ok...

Hi Arthur! If the campaign cracks the existing list of stretch goals and gets beyond 20,000 euros then the plan is staff! And I have some great ideas for those :D

Thanks for your kind words and for supporting the project!

CAMPAIGN UPDATE

AN INCREDIBLE START TO THE PROJECT!

I would like to thank everybody that has shown interest in the project so far. The response has been incredible. Within the first 31 minutes we raised the €6,000 necessary to fund the team and within the first 24 hours the total has sky-rocketed to over €9,000, unlocking TWO stretch goals!

This means that not only do backers of the 'positional players' perk have the choice of two extra Blitzer sculpts, but that all 'team' backers will receive four unique Blitzers and no duplicate sculpts!

Every 'team' backer will also receive a Buzzsaw Star Player as part of their perk. As well as this, a new perk will be posted later today allowing the purchase of Star Players as a stand-alone miniature for those who wish to purchase them without committing to a 'team' deal!

Thanks again for all your support. The response has been overwhelming and it means a lot to see a project that I was so passionate about come to fruition!

G'night, much love,

Johnny AKA J-Bone

Will the star player stretch goals be offered as individual pledges if unlocked? I have a Slann team I'm happy with already, but would like to go in for some stars.
I have added a link to the front page and there is now a perk to purchase star players separately :)

Great news! And great expectations for those ideas... because I'm totally sure that the "If" is actually a "When"... :wink:

I see our creator supreme has added goals above and beyond the existing 20K target.........

Here's hoping the head coach is a Baron Von Greenback type with a 70s footie manager vibe...... :)
