I didn't expect it to make that particular target, but now that it has unleashed the shaman as well, there is only one thing left to say:

@ ceetee:
"Mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhörnchen" means that something is going slowly because it's no easy task. Let's say you're working on something and someone points out that it's not really making good progress, then you can tell him that the squirrel struggles to feed itself: "Mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhörnchen."

The "Ich kotz im Strahl." is a rather juvenile slang expression rather than a saying. It all started with "Ich könnte kotzen." which means "It makes me sick." To increase that expression, that something makes you sick and want to puke, you could say "Ich kotz im Strahl." which means that you not only want to puke but puke with such force that your puke comes out of your mouth like a jet of water from a pressurized hose, like firefighter would use.

So, we made it, then? All addons unlocked? AWESOME!
I really need to see that shaman, so I can decide on buying or not! J_BONE! Get a move on! :wink: :orc:

(Impatiently waits for pic of shaman before deciding what add-ons to get. ;) )

Quick question - with the full team deal am I right in thinking you get 8 blitzers heads (the four original and 4 from sprue #1)? So if I also got sprue #2 I would have 12 heads in total (got ideas for some tokens)?


[Edit] Or maybe not, I think I got confused having re-read the campaign page? Will leave this here to get confirmation one way or the other.

No, I think at the beguin of the campaign are only two blitzers models, so they are 2 pairs in the team deal and for that there is heads sprue #1. After the unlocking 2 more blitzers, there are 4 models and four heads (sprue #1) in the team. And the 2# sprue heads is an addon.

So you have in a team deal 4 diferent model of blitzers and heads sprue #1. This is how I understand.


PS: i'm thinking about tokens with heads, and i bought 2 heads sprue (#1 and #2)

I just bought the shaman, sight unseen. Sure, it's money. But if I don't waste my money on little metal figures, I'll probably regret it in the future. Gotta catch 'em all!

My wife doesn't need flowers ... (actually she totally will once she hears what I spent on a bunch of metal frogs!!)

Nope, the team deal consist of TWO Blitzers and sprue #1 with FOUR heads.
The SG with two NEW Blitzers ups the number of Blitzers but not the number of heads, so without buying headsprue #2, you're gonna have FOUR Blitzers and FOUR heads.
Buying the additional sprue will take you to FOUR Blitzers and EIGHT heads.

From seeing the fan, coach and medic, I'd buy the shaman without seeing the sketch first.
And I will do so if J_bone doesn't release the sketch in time.

Glad the shaman goal has been hit. If we don't see the artwork before the KS closes and I like the art, I'll hopefully add to the pledge manager, as I believe Jonny mentioned this was a possibility many pages ago :)
