Subject: Relic Knights Kickstarter from Soda Pop - The Ongoing Update Thread!
The rulebook preview was posted today. It is, perhaps, not as exiting as the miniatures but the layout looks slick and professional -as one would expect.
We have two excellent pieces of news for you today.
First, we received a preview copy of the full rulebook. This 272 page beauty needed to be shared so we filmed a short video flipping through the entire book.
And the big news is production has once again begun! We will be providing you with the timetable to finish the last of the miniatures and then shipping schedules very soon.
So if manufacturing finishes by Mid April they should be at the distribution centres by the start of May - 12 months late it is then be interesting to see how this plays out if they run the SDEKS before hand.
Project Update #112: Cerci and Black Diamond Update!
Posted by CoolMiniOrNot ♥ Like
We have a couple production updates for you today. The base toppers, Cerci Speed Circuit, and Black Diamond factions have all completed manufacturing. They are awaiting their final quality control check and then will be sent off to be packaged.
We have also been told that manufacturing will be complete no later than mid-April. We will continue to update you as the factions complete manufacturing, move to packaging, and then shipping.
The end is in sight!

Manufacturing complete no later than mid April, a long trip on a boat, sorting it out afterwards... I'm going to guess late May or early June for most folks to get theirs.
I wish I had kept track of people's predictions on this, but yeah, the local gamers who pledged are not happy about it

Yeah, the plan is still air freighting.
But even with that, I think we're still looking at Q3 at best now.

I don't want to believe that but it feels like the right call. My estimate of Q2 will probably come up short. They're only done with a third of the factions, right? Not sure where the rest of the stuff (prismatics, dark space, promo, and SDE figs) fits into the timetable.

Q3 makes even more sense due to the fact that they HAVE to ship this out to everyone in one go - no multiple waves.
The cost of air freighting everything in, combined with the cost of then mailing everything out, especially as how many price increases has the USPS had since this thing ended?

So they're rougly 1/4 of the way through production (2 of 6 factions, Void+Prismatic and cosplay+SDE).
Mid-April completion means shipping in late April/early June. US arrival & Customs early July.
Backers should have product in hand by late August?
Much earlier than that. Remember backers are having their items air shipped. There is NOT going to be 6 weeks of time on the water. I'll keep you updated with actual shipping times and production news as I am given them
Yet to be seen when "much earlier" than late August is. June? May?

So it turns out, despite claims to the contrary late last year, Soda Pop ARE making an additional apology mini for how late the project has run -but it will be in white metal so that plastic production time will not be lengthened. It also will NOT be shipped with pledges and instead they are giving a $15 credit to their webstore so we can order it when it is done.
That's pretty cool actually the $15 can be spent on anything not just Candy Heart. The leaping pose looks awkward to me But it's winning the poll I'll have to vote for charging when I get home and can log on to my account from the laptop.

The leaping pose isn't so bad but it makes me wonder how that sword is going to stay up on a metal mini with just the single arm holding it. It would look less awkward and offer more support if she two handed the thing. I'm also curious how she's supposed to stand in that pose. The picture on the Soda Pop forum makes it look less odd.
More than likely I'll be voting for the charging pose as well.

Everything should be hitting in May. Could be worse. Hopefully the figures will just be awesome.
