For those of you having trouble logging into the pledge manager:
I had a lot of trouble on my Android, but it works fine (apart from one thing) on my laptop.
Laptop is running Windows 7 and I'm using Chrome.
The only issue I have had thus far is that when using laptop/Chrome is that in order to log in, I have to actually click the "Login" button, rather than entering my details in the fields and hitting the enter key.
Hope that helps somebody.

I have the same problem - which is kind of concerning as I had what I had entered written down!
Yes, after I was locked out for the second time I also wrote my third password down, it doesn't work!
Oh for feths sake, new password still doesn't work. This is a fething joke!

There’s a difference between having a hobby and being a narcissist.

Guys - managed to log in. Try changing the case of your email and/or password. I had a capital letter for the beginning of my email address, changed it to lower case and it worked(!)
Something worth mentioning at this point is that Prodos' forums are also terrible with logging in. Whoever takes care of this stuff for them is... not so great, apparently.

Hi there, another Quick update, this time about Pledge Manager:
Hi guys, another quick update, sorry we've just came back from UK Games Expo, anyway as promised the Young Bloods in 3D form and the Sergeant sprue.
We'll make Young Bloods . Sergeant and resin terrain available post KS at our Shop @ KS prices for backers.
Resin terrain- 3d tomorrow (or with next update on Wednesday).
Also:
1. Delivery - we are waiting for Prototype board game for final approval. I think we should have some pictures Monday/Tuesday (the Proto). More about delivery in next update ( mid week).
2. Thanks for visiting us at UK Games Expo this weekend !!
Models are fully custom-able (heads, arms, torso, legs as separate pieces)
Absolutely bloody fantastic (said already in the Prodos News thread, but bears repeating! )
Wondering if it will be possible to re-create that scene in the first book/comic, where the elder Predator gets taken out in an accident, leaving the young bloods to run amok on their own and start fighting the aliens that have nested in the ranching settlement.
And, why oh why did they not make a Machiko miniature, my only regret from this KS
Spoiler:
Now going to read those books and comics again for the build up for this release!

Aaron Schoenke caught this footage at WonderCon in Anaheim in April. While covering the convention for his company, Bat in the Sun Productions, Schoenke came across this youngster wearing an incredibly detailed Predator outfit. With a bit of prompting, the little guy happily shows off his costume as everybody else just feels jealous. Credit: YouTube/batinthesun

It is a shame
Hopefully we'll get a machiko mini in the future my only worry is that the warzone lady's I've seen thus far haven't been the best facially
Hi there guys, it's Friday, so time for another "late" AvP Update.
We would like to begin this update with a moment of respect to all of those brave men who fought for freedom during the Normandy landings, 70 years ago on the 6th of June 1944. We will remember them.
Moving on to the much awaited update, following up from the mash up of Updates last weekend. We promised 3D scenery, but it took longer than expected, these prototypes are getting printed in China right now. We have chosen to get them printed in China as our printer simply cannot handle such large pieces! The scenery was slightly redesigned due to the rules for the AvP Boardgame taking a new direction.
Our second point is about delivery. We received a lot of queries about this at UK Games Expo last weekend, so we want to echo what we told people there.
The Boxed Game prototype has not yet arrived from the printers. We have been assured they have made their cutting tool specifically for our box and started the printing process. We expect to have the prototypes within a week and then it will take 2-3 weeks to approve in the UK and USA offices of 20th Century Fox.
We actually have had to print the box twice as thick as we originally intended because of the sheer amount of stuff it contains!
As soon as this is all approved, we will gradually begin shipping. We will keep you updated.
In addition, we would like to show you how manufacturing is going. We have lots of stock just waiting for the printed material to be approved, as soon as it is we can begin shipping.
Boxed 50000 of AvP goodness.
and tons of spare moulds for AvP just in case.
We will not be shipping in multiple waves, a decision made based on the experiences from our Warzone Resurrection Kickstarter which revealed the huge cost implication involved.
We have also had a lot of requests for the rules for AvP, both the Board Game and Wargame rules. Unfortunately we cannot reveal the rules as they are part of the license (Written contend to be only revealed on release day :( :() Thanks for understanding .

Their resin is a bit bendy, it's not soft per se, but definitely not brittle. Actually it's quite nice and picks up detail very well (I got a warzone figure just to try it out). I am not worried about breakage - I just hope they have good QC in place so I don't get any duds

Yeah, I've been lucky enough to see and touch the figures for real (at Salute in April). They are not brittle, instead there is some flexibility to them but they are lovely quality and I think they will paint up well... So no worries about those boxes full of goodies... My only worry would be the vast quantity and the QC process Prodos have in place...
I will say that I'm not blown away by the 3d terrain and not sad that I didn't buy any.

I had $600 in Warzone minis shipped across the Atlantic in a toner case full of plastic baggies. Not a single thing was broken or damaged. This was from the batch of minis where they were still figuring out things like sword thickness and the like and what the material could bear. Mine arrived in perfect condition. Hell the only thing missing out of it was a single shoulder pad.
I wouldn't worry too much about the state it will arrive in unless someone decides to boot your parcel. But then I doubt any kind of packaging would help that.
