Is just like to chime in and say that I also kick-started, and have no regrets about doing so. They brought some great minis to the table, and their junkers (the squat style tanks) are something I'm really glad I got my hands on.
I don't think the thing was fully successful, but I am happy overall. I posted size comparison pics in the other thread in here.
Hopefully will have painted ones to show someday.
