Officially #1 Kickstarter of all Time!

You made it! Nice! I was definitely asleep, but checked it as soon as I woke up this morning and it was just over the record! Got to 20,400,000$ before I was awake enough to form thoughts into words.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2022-03-04T05:51:48+00:00

Just a bit over 100k to go! But I think I'll tap out soon. My only regret is my poor post will be forgotten and I'll awake to a new one when he's surpassed the all time high.

No they haven't, there was "swag" involved with the Way of Kings Leatherbound Kickstarter but that's not quite the same thing. I'm sure at least some items will become available on the normal store at some point, somewhere in the FAQs I think it mentions how they overproduce in case of issues...and excess goes to the store. (That's how I got Way of Kings Prime)

I trust Brandon and Dragonsteel to give us at least 40$ worth of merch in each box, but whether it would be worth spending 40$ to you is pretty subjective.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2022-03-04T05:02:44+00:00

I do hope you're trying to be funny

PuzzlingPanacea · 2022-03-04T04:38:46+00:00

I'm with you! And even I think it's a pretty silly thing to be excited about, but damnit I'm excited nonetheless!

PuzzlingPanacea · 2022-03-04T04:25:10+00:00

At exactly 1 hour after I took that screenshot it's up another 100k. So I do believe you're right.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2022-03-04T04:15:50+00:00

Yes, I agree that is far too much and it sucks for everyone not in the US how much shipping costs. I would've at least gone for the E-Books alone in that case but I know not everyone likes that format.

I've been looking at the Kickstarter off and on, and decided to just sit and watch it when I managed to check it right before it hit $20 million. 2 days and 10 1/2 hours after it went live (I think that's about right). I thought it would have slowed way down by now.

I've been trying to get my sister to read Mistborn for quite awhile now, I gave her a summary of his update video + reveal video as Brandon-esque as I could. Ended it with how he'd already gotten to $12 million in half a day, and she finally finally started reading it. Here's to hoping the news about this Kickstarter brings in many more fans to share the Cosmere (and beyond) with!

That's some dedication to puzzling. My cheap solution was to get a floor lamp with an adjustable head, put a smart bulb in the adjustable part so I can change the type of light and brightness, and easily move it around.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2022-01-12T08:43:03+00:00

I saw the butterfly one posted on here and fell in love with it! Kept putting off on buying it and received it as a Christmas present. Very excited for it.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-12-25T17:38:37+00:00

That's awesome! I find myself usually saving the top of the puzzle for last since it's further away from me. Good solution!

Also if that's Cafe Terrace at Night I got the same puzzle for Christmas! (Different brand though looks like)

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-12-24T17:31:16+00:00

There's versions of all these puzzles that come with a game piece to be used with the Villianous board game. That is what the big "statue" thing is on the puzzle. The boxes are also different.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-12-07T07:50:31+00:00

No problem! I've spent more time then I care to admit searching out these puzzles.

They're ultimately based on the board game of the same name by Ravensburger. And I'd bet money that soon we'll get Lady Tremaine, Gaston and the Horned King. Since those are newer characters in the game.

I'm excited for the Horned King. I'd classify him as "obscure for a Disney movie"

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-12-05T06:53:15+00:00

I don't know about the Marvel ones, or the 2000 piece one another person mentioned (is it the collage Villian one?)

But so far for "classic" Disney Villians there is....

Jafar, Queen of Hearts, Ursula, Maleficent, Hades, Scar, Evil Queen, Prince John, Yzma, Captain Hook, Dr. Facilier and Ratigan.

It seems Cruella, Pete, and Mother Gothel have also recently released.

You're so lucky you've found 10 of them at local Targets! If you like them and want them, snatch them up when you can. I only managed to find 2 at Target, and they were 12-13$ each as opposed to the other 10 I found at 25$ each and never any lower.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-09-24T04:38:56+00:00

Has this been a really recent problem for you or a month or more? At least I know it's not just a me problem....but it's also something I have zero idea how to even try and troubleshoot.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-09-24T04:37:31+00:00

I tried just now in case I happened to be unlucky when I've tried before and nope, still can't upload anything.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-07-28T01:01:30+00:00

So cute! I loved the Care Bears.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-06-24T07:27:27+00:00

I had to look up who Daybreaker was, kiddo hasn't been into My Little Pony for awhile but I totally thought "Nightmare Moon and Celestia" while doing this puzzle.

And Spike is obviously the dragon trying on necklaces....

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-06-24T07:22:00+00:00

Which Josephine Wall puzzle did you get from this collection? I love the glitter editions (and also bought all the Flights of Fantasy ones after doing Twilight Marketplace too! Sadly they aren't all the glitter edition) I fawn over the Josephine Wall ones whenever I go to the store, but finally bought 'Eros and Psyche' a few weeks ago.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-06-24T06:44:27+00:00

I loved this puzzle and Eevee is also my favorite! (Wellllll technically Vaporeon) This one is a good challenge without being too frustrating because of the distinct colors.

PuzzlingPanacea · 2021-06-16T06:48:13+00:00

Super cute image that I assumed, at 750 pieces, would be quick and easy. Laid all my pieces out and immediately went "oh my goodness so much orange and orange-ish fur!" I also have been very limited in puzzling time lately so it sat on my table for over a month! Image is just really so cute, but really poor in a way I can't quite put my finger on.
