Reply To: Archon Rampart Eternal Cathedral

The Rampart KS was a pretty big step for Archon into new territory.   They purchased all the CNC machines, I think, with the proceeds from that KS.  So the molds where all made in house.  Which is why some of the sprues don’t have perfect placement in regards to some gates.  It just comes down to lack of experience and learning a new trade.

My shipping took a little longer then expected, if memory serves, but everything I ordered arrived in great condition.  I wasn’t missing anything and I even ended up with more then I ordered.    The price was seriously really good for the shear amount of plastic you got.  I don’t know what it retails for, but its a lot of heavy duty plastic.

Archon did have a lot of mistakes during the first rampart KS, which I believe the corrected nearly all of them… eventually.  They are not speedy, so that just has to be something you need to know.  Also, I haven’t been on that comment section in awhile, so I don’t know if they got to every ones problems or not.

I do know they seemed to have learned, the second Rampart KS for the cobalt set is running really smoothly and on track.  It was a no brainer for me to back, givin my positive experience.  But I can understand how others would hesitate.  KS is always like that.
