there's always fiction lurking.

TtS: Kaumberg and SO: Thermo Police are slated for next week

Do we have any updated timeline for Golden Century/Irregulars beyond "when it gets done?"

Not complaining, just wondering.

I’m guessing the next news we’ll here is that it’s on sale

I believe TRO:GC is waiting for the PoD process to be ready so CGI can drop PDF, PoD +  Bundles at the same time, something most of us are cool with.

regardless of who is cool with it and who is not cool with it, we are indeed waiting for the PoD process so both can be released simultaneously

Like hell. I'll announce a date for release as soon as we have one we can put our backs against. We're not there yet.

Yes, specifically waiting on proofs of the TRO:GC to get to Ray, so he can approve them for on-sale production. ED:GC POD is good to go, but we're going to stick to the plan of releasing it all together.

in my very limited experience with vendors, it seems "the date i can be certain of product delivery" and "the delivery date" are often the same.

Only by about 15-20%.

Personally I like the 'match the art' design challenge, it gives an interesting restriction on what you can do and what you can't.  And sometimes comes up with some surprisingly effective redesigns, looking at you 6/9/9 Griffin...

Well, I just got a shipping notice for my order- with three labels though the posters and puzzles are separate labels.

Same about the gun port match designs Kamas.

When they announced the puzzles/posters- but to be fair I also ordered some shirts I had been putting off, so the order is more than just the puzzle & posters.

No notification but my USPS informed delivery tells me a package is arriving from Georgia today so I’m guessing that’s it

Just got an email (at 9:54A, CMT) that BOTH my poster orders have shipped, and it appears they're in ONE shipment.   :thumbsup:
 Which is GREAT, considering I placed two different orders, since I didn't know they had SR posters until AFTER I'd ordered the BT set.   :-[

Now to figure out WHO to Thank for them being Combined!   ;D
To me, Repros are 100% Wrong, and there's NO  room for me to give ground on this subject. I'm not just an Immovable Object on this, I'm THE Immovable Object. 3D Prints are just 3D Repros.

Something to bear in Mind. Defending the BT IP is Frowned upon here.

Sorry to ask, but does anyone know what the status is with the Canon Characters for those who missed the deadline (my reason: corona in the family)?

If you haven't filled out your survey last time around, you should have gotten a new one recently.

I haven't received a new one unfortunately. Who should I contact about the survey?

EDIT: whoops, I thought I was replying in the Kickstarter thread. My sincere apologies.
