KD:L - Labyrinth, the game that highlights Twilight Knights, White Speakers and other hero level classes.
I've listened to it all now - not much else in there.
Adam is designing the monsters for Red Witches and Oblivion Mosquito himself.
Anna is doing inverted mountain. Campaign is more insanity based with limited survival some disorders required for crafting and innovating. The inverted mountain is literally an upside down mountain not a pit as some seem to think.
A game with preassembled PVC miniatures is definitely not going to happen.
Settlement events for "3 Ages" may be added to KDM advanced rules.

To clarify, Poots said the 2 containers on the water were not enough to fulfill a single continent - but it's almost certainly enough to get started shipping.
Presumably, this means he'll start shipping America in a month or so, because America has the most backers, and will take the longest to complete. He probably has 4 to 6 more containers to deal with.
My main takeaway on the container comment is that production for Core / Update is complete. That's pretty big news, and it explains why Adam was so sure fulfillment could start between late Sepember / mid-October. 1.5 is almost certain to be in bakcer hands by Holiday 2017.
Also, Adam shared that the Current Expansion plastics production is done, but paper / print is still in progress, which is pushing it past Holiday 2017.
KD:Q - Kingdom Death Quest, a PVC game for mass market (gonna try distro with this!)

As I understood it, Adam was looking at Kingdom Death "lite" with PVC minis (KD:Q, above), but the response to 1.5 is pushing him to "go big" instead. A lighter (literally, vs 17 lbs.) game is still possible, but it's farther down the road.
Similarly, KD: Labyrinth got pushed down the road due to how big 1.5 got.
Oddly, 1.5 didn't get big enough for Ringtail Fox, but it seems Adam still intends to do that after additional development.

Nope, KDQ was supposed to be a retail CMoN type game that would have reused existing assets for a different game. I think this would have been great if he handed production and distribution over to someone like CMoN.
I'm guessing Adam wisely has decided to finish the KS stuff then figure out what he wants to do next. That said, he probably is working on his next project in parallel to finishing KDM.
And as someone who owns all the Sci-fi minis, I'm wondering if he ever intends to do anything with them...

Dude, DaveC quoted KD:L, not KD:Q, as the reference point for PVC mini'd KD "lite". I corrected the reference to KD:Q, and clarified that Adam hadn't entirely abandoned the idea of a lighter version of KD.
It's a pity the card sleeves are just plain regular sleeves similar to those that you can get from companies something a bit more "KD" would have been nice.

(and I suspect that will remain the case as that's a time limited release and he probably wants to keep those in house along with the resins and other stuff)
in the interview with Justin Soli they talk about the table edge pieces shown above as something to bling up your gaming table
Adam would like to get them out there but 3d printing to order would tie up their printer for too long, and other routes would be too expensive/too high a minimum order,
but he might just upload them to thingverse so people could print their own (around 21 mins)
Ah ok, I ordered the other promos I was missing from the UK warehouse, I would need to order her separately anyway, what shipping option is suggested when shipping from the US?

Mini update from Poots in the comment section:
Kingdom Death 4-time creator 5 minutes ago
Just thought i'd give you guys a quick status update. At this point, cargo ships have started to reach their respective ports. Once they have arrived it usually takes another 1-2 weeks for the ships to be unloaded and the cargo to be trucked over to its warehouse. I want to have as little delay between global shipment as possible (very tricky when your sailing containers all over the world!) I don't have any "official" timeline updates yet. I am still personally at the wait and see point.
so very much wait and see what with the potential for customs delays, waiting for other ships to arrive etc
but very much time to start putting aside the shipping money if you backed for the base game

Wave 2 is being pushed back to Early 2018. Im not currently evil enough to take care of half the world for the holidays while everyone else has to wait until afterwards. But you know if I end up developing Atnas around that time... !
*Core Games Ships Separately!
The Core Game is massive. To ensure its safety, it is being package into its own carton with corner protectors. It is too heavy to ship with other rewards. It would crush them!
Wave 1 - Estimated Delivery Summer 2017 Core Game / 1.5 Update Pack
United States... $25 / $10
European Union... $40 / $20
Canada... $30 / $15 Australia (+ New Zealand)... $40 / $20
Rest of World... $100 / $30
But no:
Wave 2 - Estimated Delivery Winter 2017 (Still hoping for Summer 2017)
Current Expansions
United States... $15 + $3 per additional expansion
European Union... $15 + $3 per additional expansion
Canada... $15 + $3 per additional expansion
Australia (+ New Zealand)... $15 + $3 per additional expansion
Rest of World... $30 + $3 per additional expansion
I had been expecting Wave 2 to ship Q1 2018, so that wasn't a surprise. The surprise to me was that Adam might have been in position to start shipping Wave 2 before X-mas 2017!
I'm still expecting the 1.5 upgrade boxes not to ship at the same time as the full new 1.5 boxes, but am prepared to be pleasantly surprised if they do

They're supposed to be the same wave, and it wouldn't be the most loyal to older fans to have them wait on the 2nd edition... The KS success was largely built on their enthusiasm and funding the first KS etc.
It might be that they do one unit type before the other but I don't expect any delay between the two packing runs.
(edit: wishful thinking: they might do the upgrade boxes first to iron out their process on smaller and cheaper sets.)

Why? They're both "Wave 1" items.
That said, Wave 1 could be multiple sub-waves, where they start with the 1.5 cores (only), then move to 1.5 upgrades (only), then combined orders and orders with "extras".
