Well I can relate to that

. Different locations in Aus do take a very different amount of time to arrive sometimes, though.

Will post a micro update here tonight, hoping to get 100 boxes packed today!

**RiTides**

We did indeed pack 100 boxes... there will be a whole lot going in the mail Monday morning! I had planned to take a witty pic post packaging but ended up too tired, will be making an official update Mon or Tuesday so will include one then. Suggestions appreciated (my first thought, holding baby while packing

).

Also for those of you who already have them, if you snap a pic of your built cubes (on their own or in use) I will get it into the update, too!

**ScootyPuffJunior**

I wish I had backed soon enough to get the "First to Ship" option... we had game night on Friday and the cubes would have been awesome for Imperial Assault!

Yeah. Got mine after game night, too. To be fair, putting the
stuff together minutes before game night would not have been
productive.

**RiTides**

Oof, sorry we missed it Scooty! Even more frustrating about malfred's since he PM'ed me earlier this week and I was sure we got it out in time - but the post office had other ideas

. You're right though malfred, they take some thought to put together so probably not something you'd do the same night you planned to use them! Some guys at my local store did, but then again, I've been showing off the ModCube to them all through development so they're like old hands now

Really looking forward to seeing how you configure them for your trolls! If you get a pic of them up before Tuesday I'll include it in the update

with a link to your blog, of course. Cheers!

Huge batch going in the mail tomorrow, so a ton more US folks will have them this week.

**malfred**

Here you go. How trolls do!

**RiTides**

Cheer malfred

. You're clearly a seasoned warmachine player with the way you color coded the cubes for ease of use, I will definitely be using that pic tomorrow. For myself I can't wait to use mine so I can keep track of which of my 20 croak raiders decided to aim

and which are knocked down (from witch doc giving them tough), have caused corrosion on an enemy model, or set them on fire

(that's 4 faces of my main cubes already!)

**malfred**

So how many sets do I have? Lol

**RiTides**

I had you down for 4 sets (a set is 8 cubes, 9 for the Kickstarter):

16 black cubes
16 red cubes
4 blue cubes

2 sets of white-on-black Warmahordes tokens
2 sets of metal-on-black Warmahordes tokens

It looks to me from the pic like you should have 6 cubes leftover after what you've built. If you ever want to reconfigure, you could stretch one of your red subsets to a new type by building them half-black, half-red (given the pic I think you're probably down to mostly black halves, though, so you'd have to "decube" a few as you put it

).

**malfred**

Nah. I'm sure you wouldn't be averse to me just buying new ones, right?

**RiTides**

You're right

. I think your post generated some interest as we got some messages through the site about the warmachine sets! Directing everyone interested to just wait until mid-November - we'll have the webstore up within a month.

**Eldarain**

Seeing the modcubes set up for Trolls that way has definitely peaked my interest.

Thanks for posting that malfred.

Yas! Head hunter bonus!

Hehe, I kid. I'll order more when the store is if my experience with them at WMW is good.

If, as someone argued, they just get in the way then I'll go back to little chits I lose track of.

**RiTides**

Let me know how it goes malfred! My problem was always exactly that - losing track of chits and scrambling for them. So I hope they serve you well and I'm looking forward to testing mine with a warmachine game once shipping is finished (holding that out as a reward to myself for getting through this final push!).

Shipping update 2 - over 500 packages sent, 195 to go!

Here is where we are at in our shipping queue:

- 195 "First to Ship" packages to all over the world - Shipped!
- 106 EU packages - Cleared Customs and arrived at UK Distributor
- 61 ROW packages - Shipped!
- 155 US packages - Shipped!
- 195 US packages - Packaging in-progress

In our prior update we said the EU packages were shipping by sea - but due to a bit of a mixup, they were returned to us and so we bit the bullet and shipped to our distributor by air! They've already cleared customs in the UK and will be on their way to their final destinations by the start of next week.

For the US packages, 100 just shipped yesterday! Most of the ROW packages shipped on Monday (customs forms took forever!). So, there are quite a lot of packages in-transit, and hopefully more folks will be showing off their ModCube sets soon! Here are a few more pics from folks who already received theirs:

All of those "half color" cubes make us happy =) as that was a neat unintended effect of having so many colors! Black works really well for this (with any other color). The above pics are from Ramos Asura of Rollin' All Ones Studio, Bobb Beauchamp on Facebook, and malfred of the Poke Miniatures blog. You can see his full writeup on the ModCubes here: http://pokeminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/10/mod-cube-kickstarter-part-1-of-2.html

Finally, we'll leave you with a picture of the current packaging "ground zero", and "Walter White" making sure we don't get any "bad breaks" while shipping our ROW packages earlier this week

We have been pushing hard to try to have all of the packages shipped by next week. With 195 to go, it's ambitious, but we're going to do our best to make it happen! The absolute latest any package will ship is November 9th. We will put micro updates in the comments section next week showing where we are at.

When you get your package be sure to watch this quick 1:30 video showing how to put the cubes together and take them apart, it makes it easy: https://youtu.be/g3yy3_dO4yI

Until next time!

**Stormwall**

Is that you Ritides?

"Jesse... we gotta cook up some cubes. Get the 3d printer."

My cubes will be late. They'll make it to my old house and then get redirected since I moved, lol.

Edit: Didn't mean to scare you Ritides... I PM'd you about it.

**Mymearan**

Any plans for AoS tokens? That game sure needs a lot of tokens...

**RiTides**

Mymearan - Somehow I missed replying to this, my apologies! Yes, we are definitely open to making AoS tokens, although the only one I'm absolutely committed to making at the moment is Heavy Gear dice, because they just seem to beg to be ModCube'ed

http://dreampod9.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/Blitz%20L%26L%20Dice%20Counters%20v2.pdf

I've also had a lot of folks PM'ing me about those and patiently waiting when I tell them we'll get to it after the Kickstarter sets!

Thanks for the PM Stormwall, and no worries

. And no, that's not me pictured lol

Micro shipping update - The final portion of the EU packages have shipped from our UK distributor, we shipped another 50 US packages today, and unfortunately had missed 8 ROW packages (had packed but not shipped them) and so those went in the mail, too. We've got about 150 to go - planning to get 50 more in the mail this week, then marathon this weekend and get the last 100 sent on Monday!

**Mymearan**

Awesome! I'll definitely be buyin one 40k and one AoS set, and maybe DFC if it seems like the game will need it (and if you create it obviously).

**RiTides**

Excellent

and yeah, I am Really looking forward to dropfleet commander, even though it's a ways out!

We made good packing progress yesterday, so the next 50 boxes should ship tomorrow

**Anpu-adom**

Seems like RiTides will need to need to get the 30k starter box... just for business purposes, of course.

**RiTides**

Yes, of course

. It has actually really helped to have played the games for each set! On the ones I haven't (or haven't much), I've luckily had great advice from players (a few backers in the case of Infinity and DnD, and local players for Malifaux and Guildball).

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

My MOD cubes have arrived safely in the UK,

Orange, Lemon and Grape flavour goodness!

nice and easy to assemble too

**RiTides**

That's fantastic Orlando! I was thinking I might hear when yours came since you are so active on Kickstarters

. Two other UK folks posted that they got theirs today in the comments, too!

Getting close to completion - although that comes with a few things like having sent a miscast cube to Singapore, so replacing that will cost wayyy more than the cube itself! Happy to do so of course, just facepalming myself (or Jorge!!) for putting it in there... Very likely me

**ScootyPuffJunior**

I'm happy to report my MOD Cubes arrived safely in the mail today (along with my brand new Xbox One!).

**RiTides**

Awesome SPJ! Clearly, one package was more important than the other

and you know which I'm talking about!

Actually, I opened my pack of MOD Cubes and played around with them before I opened my Xbox.

**RiTides**

A true wargamer

well done, sir!

Can we get the Capt Kirk "JORGE!!!!" picture from Alph?
