Kickstarter 20 - Part 16 - Killer Bunnies Quest Deluxe

Killer Bunnies Quest Deluxe

Completed Funding on August 25th, 2012 with $61,611 of $10,000 Goal

What did they offer: Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot came out 10 years ago and added all of the expansions over the course of several more years.  This Kickstarter collects everything that has been made for the game in one big package.  Backers could get the game, promos, and even dinner with designer Jeffrey Neil Bellinger.

When was the expected delivery date:  November 2012

What did VG30 pledge for:  VG30 already owns just about everything in this set, but wanted the collected rules and promo, so we just kicked in $10 for this one.

Status of Project:  It's tough to say exactly what's gone out, but from posts made by Playroom we can tell that the Deluxe copy of the game has been shipped out as of February 19th.  Some other nicknacks have been sent out, but we can say for certain that VG30 has not received it's Omega promo.

What the creator is saying:  Playroom was quiet for awhile on this, stating that they didn't have any updates to give us because they weren't hearing anything about progress.  They started making up good will by shipping off smaller items that they had available already, like expansion packs separate from the main game, but that quickly became too much for them to handle, as well.  They're really not talking about anything else that's supposed to be shipping out (like the promos).  We also found out from the creator that some people are receiving less than stellar copies of the deluxe edition with bending / peeling cards.

What the community is saying:  The community is unhappy with a four month delay with little information, and some are complaining quite a bit about the quality of items that are in the box, noting that more thought and care should have been placed in a $150 version of the game. 

What we're saying:  Some of the bonuses were really tempting, but we stuck with what we needed for the game.  We haven't received the promo that we backed for yet, and haven't received any word as to when those might go out.  We had been told that they were being printed with the new set, but there's nothing in their updates since.
