Updates on Molds, Damned Shipping, and More...
First off I would like to extend my thanks to the hundreds upon hundreds of positive responses, texts, emails, calls, social media posts, etc that have come in after my post the other day. What an amazing community. It's been incredible to reconnect with folks I haven't talked to in years and catch up. If I haven't replied to you, I will! Again, thank you so very much.
Kickstarter Refunds
To that end we've also - as of tonight when I'm writing this - received about 90 requests for refunds from the Kickstarter backers. I'm building out a spreadsheet (as Kickstarter's data is now closed out and unable to be downloaded as a spreadsheet) and have started the process of sending Paypals, wires, and site credits. Please do spread the word so we can reach all the backers and we'll continue to post within Kickstarter to generate emails from there too.
The Damned
Shipping is ongoing in the US and we've been thrilled to hear about people getting their packages. Looking forward to lots of painted Damned posted into the Legion and other socials! UK production is ongoing and we are a little over 1/2 way complete on the frames needed for fulfillment. Our good friends at Sarissa will be fulfilling the UK/rest of world pledges like they do the rest of our products but we just need them all topped up so they can tackle it in one big push. As production continues and we have a better sense of timing we'll keep you up to date as best as we can.
Molds Out of Customs!
Another batch of molds is finally out of customs after about 12 days of delay. The following are either running or scheduled to run in the US: Guards/Villagers restock, the two Quar tractors (small frames are done, big ones just got here), Operators, Fidwog Specialists, Halfling Cavalry, Civilians/Survivors (2): Women.
UK Production
Besides The Damned, the UK also has Agents, Fidwog Command, Warring States, our secret Napoleonic set, and Barons' War games and a slew of other restocks in production. Demand continues to grow with new retailers signing up to stock us every week so we're trying to get ahead of it and get extra product in place so eventually - in a glorious (hopefully near) future - we won't have any out of stocks. We've also started going much larger on initial runs of product to try to stay ahead of the curve.
New Space!
As the number of products has increased (along with the quantity needed to be on hand) we've taken additional warehousing space in partnership with Sarissa in the UK. This will give us more than enough for the foreseeable future (and then a bit more if we implement some pallet stacking systems later on). Product will begin to move over to the new warehouse next week.
The team is hard at work on yet more hard plastic sets. We've just sent a couple rule books off to the printer. Tooling is - erm - tooling away. Andy is about to wrap up Death Fields Arena beta 2? Gamma? So that all your feedback and what we've learned from extensive playtesting can be brought to bear. Then it's onto Classic Fantasy Battles for him.
Thanks again for all the great messages!
