Latest Updates from Our Project:

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Fulfillment Complete!
11 months ago – Fri, Apr 21, 2023 at 12:33:37 PM

Fulfillment Complete

Our final region (EU/UK) wrapped up this week! GamesQuest sent me an email confirming that they have completed their fulfillment.  There are just 9 Wasted Wilds retail orders that still need to be processed but should go out next week.  Everyone else should be able to track their package.  

If you have not received a tracking number, please login to Backerkit to check for a tracking number before contacting us directly.  We have received and uploaded 95% of the shipments into BackerKit. If you never got a tracking number and still don't have your rewards, please fill out our support form and select "Have not received a shipping notification or package".  This goes for any Canadian backers that ran into a customs issue or are still seeing their package stuck or bouncing around.  

 Customer Service Issues

Please note that Customer Service is an ongoing process. Right now we are focusing on making sure that everyone has gotten their rewards, a tracking number, or is at least has their info in the correct fulfillment partners database to get something in the coming weeks. 

Our next priority is addressing any missing items.  We've already sent plenty of these out, but will continue to prioritize getting people their missing rewards.

Our lower priority customer support issues like replacement parts, damaged items, etc. will start being addressed over the next few weeks.

As a reminder, we have setup a support form for this Kickstarter. Please fill out the form with any customer service issues.  If you've filled out the form, we have your issue logged! If your issue has anything to do with not receiving a package or missing an item, we may not reach out to you directly.  Instead, you likely will receive an additional tracking/shipment notification when your missing reward ships. We're listing additional customer service points of contact below for questions about your package/shipping: 

  • For UK/EU customers, you can open support tickets about parcels directly with GamesQuest at https://gamesquest.freshdesk.com/support/home.
  • If you're in Asia, you can reach out to VFI at https://vfi.asia/support/
  • If you're in AU/NZ, you can open a support ticket with Aetherworks: https://aetherworks.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new 
  • For everyone else in North America and the Rest of the World, please message us directly on Kickstarter if you have any additional concerns as we do not recommend reaching out to Miniature Market's support directly and can log your issue directly on their Sharepoint server.

Project Completion

Work on a Kickstarter project never truly ends; it just diminishes over time, but we are finally wrapping things up on this one.  Now that fulfillment is complete, we are entering a 6 month grace period for any additional customer service issues related to this project. If you do not contact us within 6 months of this update, you agree that we have fulfilled our obligations to you in full for payment or donations received.  We've been doing Kickstarter long enough now that people crop up literally years later asking for their reward. Per our terms and conditions, at this point we are only offering credit in our web store for any incomplete pledge manager surveys etc.

Fulfillment Update: EU imminent / CA issues
about 1 year ago – Tue, Mar 21, 2023 at 08:19:54 AM

Just a quick reminder that we have setup a support form for this Kickstarter. Please fill out the form with any customer service issues.  

Fulfillment Progress

Here is a quick overview of each region's fulfillment progress.  If you have not received a shipping notification, please do not panic.  Until we post an update stating Fulfillment is Complete in that region, shipments are still in progress.

Asia: Completed

Fulfillment completed. If you're missing any items, please fill out the support form.

Australia / New Zealand: Completed

Fulfillment completed. If you're missing any items, please fill out the support form.

North America: Completed -> Canadian Issues

I had a call with Miniature Market on Friday.  They are aware of the Canadian tracking issues and are looking into it. I didn't get much information from them other than they used UPS mail innovations which passes along the final leg of the shipment to local carriers.  When I have more information, I will let you know and will continue to post support issues related to this in the Miniature Market issues log.

Everyone else in the USA should have received tracking for their rewards by now.  All remaining North America shipments are related to customer support issues, so if you were missing an item you may get a new tracking number this week.

UK/EU: Imminent

The inventory has been received by GamesQuest but their system had a miscount and we are double/triple checking that all of the product arrived and was inventoried correctly.  All shipments have been uploaded to their backend and fulfillment should start shortly once they have the time to verify everything in their warehouse.

March Update: Fulfillment Progress & Game FAQ
about 1 year ago – Thu, Mar 02, 2023 at 05:28:04 AM

Just a quick reminder that we have setup a support form for this Kickstarter. Please fill out the form with any customer service issues.  As some of you may know, Funagain Logistics is going out of business.  This company was responsible for the first wave of shipments and was our planned partner for worldwide fulfillment.  We have been dealing with getting our products out of their USA warehouse and tracking down our stock in other countries (through the other providerst they partnered with)... please be patient with us as we work our way through any support issues. If you've filled out the support form, I promise we're working at it just be patient.

Fulfillment Progress

Overall, we have fulfilled about 59% of the orders with the bulk of what's remaining based in Europe. Here is a quick overview of each region's fulfillment progress.  If you have not received a shipping notification, please do not panic.  Until we post an update stating Fulfillment is Complete in that region, shipments are still in progress.

Asia: Nearly Completed

We are still waiting on the final spreadsheet with all the tracking numbers for all of the different countries, but will continue to upload tracking numbers into Backerkit as we get them. I cannot imagine that there are many people left.

Australia / New Zealand: Completed

Our project manager at Aetherworks has emailed me that they have completed shipments.  I'm still waiting on final tracking information.

North America: Nearly Completed

Miniature Market has only about 160 orders left to process.  Tracking information has been uploaded to BackerKit and we expect them to complete these orders by the end of the week. Next week, they will start moving onto preorders and then onto customer service issues/missing items.

UK/EU: Starting Soon

Our ship arrived a bit late on February 18th.  On Monday 2/27/2023, I was invoiced for the inbound shipment from the port to GamesQuest.  Once everything is received and input into their system, they should be ready to start shipping out. Be sure to follow their blog for weekly updates on their current projects. 

Frequently Asked Questions

For those of you that have received your games, questions have been peppering us from a bunch of different sources.  First, I'd like to encourage everyone to ask their questions on BGG in this thread (if able).  We will continually update the top post, so that you can check answers and print out the thread as an FAQ if needed.  Consolidating your questions will definitely help us more efficiently answer all your questions.  With that being said, here are a couple answers to some of the FAQs we've seen so far:

What are the tokens with houses on them for?

These are for marking older tiles as indoor tiles. They are also used with the Legacy Campaign mode found online to mark your tents: https://rockmanorgames.com/wasted-wilds-legacy-campaign/

Old Tiles that can be marked as indoors include:

  • Van
  • Gas Stations
  • Police Station
  • Shelter
  • Hospital
  • Factory
  • Military Base
  • Shopping Mall
  • Grocery Store
  • Prison

Where is the Hunter deck?

This was a Kickstarter stretch goal and a promo card for the Hunter deck found in the original game.

Where is the Curse Chaser character in the Few and Cursed Expansion?

The female Gunslinger was an original promo card from the first Kickstarter edition of the original Maximum Apocalypse.  She is known as the redhead from the Few and Cursed comic books and can be played with the original games Gunslinger deck or the new Curse Chaser deck.

How do I organize all of the content into the Legendary box?

I made a post/guide with pictures here: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2919678/how-fit-all-wasted-wilds-content-legendary-edition - I encourage others to post their pictures/methodology there as well.  If you have any additional questions about storage, I will monitor the thread and answer there.

February Update: Fulfillment Continues
about 1 year ago – Wed, Feb 01, 2023 at 12:19:24 PM

Just a quick reminder that we have setup a support form for this Kickstarter. Please fill out the form with any customer service issues.  

Fulfillment Progress

Here is a quick overview of each region's fulfillment progress.  If you have not received a shipping notification, please do not panic.  Until we post an update stating Fulfillment is complete in that region, shipments are still in progress.

Asia: Nearing Completion

Most Asian backers should have received a shipping/tracking email at this point. We are aware that some of the WAVE 1 items were missing and are working on getting those out to you (be sure to fill out the form if you've received a package and are still missing things).  When VFI sends us the completed spreadsheet of tracking numbers, we will upload this info to Backerkit.

Australia / New Zealand: Starting Soon

Keep an eye on Aetherworks weekly updates on their Facebook page.  I heard from our project manager that they expect to start the shipping process early next week. They estimate it will take about 2 weeks to complete fulfillment.  Expect an email from Aetherworks tomorrow or Friday with a final notice to update/change your address with them before they ship out your rewards.  Very nice that they offer that service for all of us!

North America: Starting Soon

The games have been received at our partner warehouse and all of our backer data has been submitted.  They estimated that packages will start shipping out as early as next week!

UK/EU: ETA EARLY MAR

Our product for the UK/EU boarded the BARZAN and departed January 8th and is expected to arrive in the UK on February 11th. Once it clears customs, it is off to GamesQuest to start fulfillment.  GamesQuest has asked for the final backer fulfillment data, so this is the last emergency call for any UK/EU address changes!!!

Next Week: Set a Watch Launches on Kickstarter

Next week, Set a Watch: Forsaken Isles and Doomed Run launch on Kickstarter.  Check out the trailer above.  If you're interested, we'd love to have you as a backer/supporter.

January Update: Fulfillment has begun
about 1 year ago – Mon, Jan 09, 2023 at 07:58:46 AM

I'm happy to report that fulfillment has begun and some lucky people in Asia have already started to receive their games. Before I get into the status of each region, I wanted to share a support form that everyone will be able to use for the remainder of this Kickstarter for any customer support issues that you run into:

We really want to push everyone to use the form, but if you need to reach out to us directly you can email [email protected] or send us a message on Kickstarter.

***IMPORTANT*** Pledge Manager is LOCKED

We have completely locked the pledge manager which means that anyone who did not complete their pledge and pay for shipping is now considered a 'straggler'. Stragglers will have to wait until AFTER the main fulfillment has completed at which time, we will be able to work on getting your shipping paid and address issues around your pledge. The vast majority of you are unaffected by this. Unfortunately, backers that didn't pay attention to updates and never got around to completing the survey in Backerkit and paying shipping are the ones that will be affected.  If you are affected, please be patient and keep an eye out for future updates announcing Fulfillment is complete.

Fulfillment Progress

Here is a quick overview of each region's fulfillment progress.  If you have not received a shipping notification, please do not panic.  Until we post an update stating Fulfillment is complete in that region, shipments are still in progress.

Asia: In Progress

VFI has started fulfilling to Asian backers and some of them have already started receiving their packages. 

Australia / New Zealand: Starting Soon

We have received confirmation that games were enroute to Aetherworks before the Christmas holiday  and expect to get in queue and get a clear starting date this month.  Aetherworks does a great job of posting weekly updates on their Facebook page, so you may want to follow there as well.

North America: ETA EARLY FEB

The MSC BEATRICE has all of our games for North America onboard and is expected to reach port later this week on January 11th.  Keep in mind that after the games arrive, they still need to be unloaded, clear customs, and shipped to Miniature Market's fulfillment center in St. Louis.  Typically, that whole process takes about 2 weeks and then it's a matter of when Miniature Market can schedule the packing/shipping.

UK/EU: ETA EARLY MAR

GamesQuest advised us that shipping to their German warehouse could result in major issues, so we took their advice and bundled the entire shipment to their UK warehouse.  Everything for Europe will be fulfilled through their hub there.  Backers should still expect "friendly" shipping in the EU using GamesQuest shipping process from the UK. 

Set a Watch: Forsaken Isles & Doomed Run

Last but not least, just a quick mention that our next Kickstarter launches next month:

If you're unfamiliar with Set a Watch, it is another one of our cooperative game series and features a tower defense style combat puzzle that must be solved by using the dice and abilities of classic fantasy adventurers.  This Kickstarter represents the finale of the trilogy of standalone games coupled with a new replayable campaign mode. We'd love to have you sign-up to be notified when it launches.

Happy New Year!
