:rolleyes: :sad: :tongue: :headbang: Well I just got my 2nd address confirmation email received from QML 10/24/24 . I confirmed on 10/25/24. My first one was 7/26/24 WOW three months. You forgive me for not being happy happy joy joy over this. I have been reading over at the Merc KS forum and some of the other FB Battletech. What I'am seeing here from the backers who put large amount of money into Battletech KS. You are punished for putting large amount money into Battletech KS like add-on which where all shortage is . I'am not saying this the other backers are saying this. It really wear on me about all this . That all for now before I say something nasty.

Without the 'pre-orders' and paying in advance, a lot of the swag would never have happened.

And yes, I know crowd funding doesn't equal pre-orders. Therefore the apostrophes.
If money could talk, it would say goodbye.

Shouldn't those be quotation marks?


Anyways, got my Batallion in yesterday, with everything in good order except those slippery Warrior VTOLs jumping from their seats to start a fight with the rest of their force pack.  Their clear pins are safe

Guess what: we can't agree, either! Don't worry about it.

Glad to hear more folks are getting their big boxes of little giant robots. Fingers crossed for everyone else.

We may be some of the worst offenders, but definitely not the only.  My Italian tour guide spoke English and Italian, but not a lick of French and the town he grew up in was virtually on the border between both countries (Italy & France).

more on topic-ish.  I think I found a better solution to my missing (my own fault, described back in the old KS thread that has passed) VToL stands ... buy another set of vehicles!!!! (or maybe just hit up Fortress or Aries) ... when stock finally gets in.

That'll at least be 2 landed units and 2 airborne.

I just did a speed run of emotions. Went from checking my email and seeing a shipping notice to actually checking the included number and it saying expected delivery is in less than 4 hours.

There is hope!   :drinking01:

Got my shipment late this afternoon. FedEx said it was supposed to arrive yesterday, but I mean, that's rural Utah for you.

I got my address verification email today! It may be silly but it feels like a huge step forward. Now I e got to keep my wife from wrapping it all for Christmas presents.

It's not silly, and I'm glad for you. I got mine over the weekend and trust me it feels good to get it :grin:. I did get an extra salvage pack (one of mine was a vehicle though so I'm sure it was intentional).

I just got my address verification email the other day. They said that they'd lock my address on Monday if I hadn't verified it by then, so hopefully it will ship sometime next week.

I think in the earlier orders, it's been taking 2-3 weeks to ship from the deadline date. Usually, closer to 2 weeks, but some have taken 3-4 weeks. The upside is that FedEx has been pretty quick about shipping once they have the packages. It sounds like we have the same deadline date. It'll be interesting to see who gets shipped first. Make sure to post on here when you get your shipping notice and I'll do the same. Just out of curiosity, how big was your order? Mine was regimental level with only a couple of add ons.

I backed at Regiment level, but with a ton of add-ons. Like another Regiment and several Battalions, plus a lot of stuff that was add-on only.

My Company-level box showed up today!  All of thirty minutes before I had to head out the door.  Very relieved to have it in hand before Thanksgiving week hit.

Interestingly, I never got a shipping email.  QML sent me a second address verification about ten days ago, and then the box showed up unexpectedly.

I got my shipping notification this morning! It’s just showing that the label has been created so I’m guessing it’ll probably be Monday before it actually ships at the earliest. Still, it’s exciting! :grin:

My pledge showed up on Wednesday, so I had all Thanksgiving to open everything up and admire the additions to my pile of shame and start reading the books that I got.

I got the first box yesterday and the FedEx app is saying that I should get the balance on Monday.
