Mike you ever hear from that guy who was assembling and painting your models for you?

Yeah, he's got some done and once he finishes them up he'll send me them and I'll send on some more to him. I send part of what is his order along with my stuff in parts. The box is big enough for part of his and mine to go to him and then big enough to pack up my painted stuff up so that it's protected on it's way back to me.

cool on a good note I just found out I got 2 foldscopes on their way to me.

foldscopes?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foldscope

?

yeah i'm one of the first 100 people it is being shipped to, its basically a microscope that is made from cardstock paper and folded up, it was designed by a guy named Prakesh out of Stamford and it was field tested in third world countries, it was designed for doctors and such to have easy portable microscopes that cost like .50 to make.

Very Cool

Shouldn't they be done shipping showdowns by now??

yes it is, it has so many real world applications for help in places and with people who cannot afford big heavy microscopes and such, and once assembled it fits right in your pocket and I can see these things becoming a big hit with field doctors and botanists and such.

Excellent cheap and useful in a large variety of applications, medical and otherwise. Not something you would always expect from an engineer.

Based on Wayne's estimate from last week (500-600 domestic boxes to go out) and their usual "shipping like demons" weekend?

Yes. If you haven't gotten your notification, hopefully it'll go out tonight. If you haven't heard anything by tomorrow, it might be worth calling them up to double check. Some people have complained about receiving their boxes without ever getting a notification.

I was wondering if that would happen [shipped with no notice), problem with that is, I don't live where j used to and I meed to arrange someone to be there to recievw it :/

PB did tell people to update their addresses numerous times. You could try calling and seeing if it was sent yet and if it is still possible to change the address.

Yesterday I spoke with my friend who went in on the kickstarter, and he said that he's received a shipping notice for his two boxes. So he should have them soon.

He's a complete novice when it comes to this sort of thing, so apparently he's been reading up a bit on both assembling and painting figures. He thinks he'll start with the VFs to get his feet wet.

Starting with the VFs is a bad idea. I would recommend the battlepods. The VFs are some of the more difficult models in the box.

A novice starting with the VF models is suicidal.

The regults are much, much easier. The VEritechs are much more involved, although the fighter is probably the easiest configuration. Also, make sure he is using a glue that works with ABS or there will be tears.

I only moved a month ago, and I still have everything sent Ro my old place and I just go get it cause if anything is left on the porch here it may very well get stolen.

Everything was supposed to be shipped by today right?

Perhaps just 98% shipped.

All of the US stuff, and possibly a start on the Canadian packages, yes.

Ok, FINALLY finished laminating my cards plus a few totally fan-made designs we came up with on the Facebook page.

Not to insult mike/start a flame war, but does anyone actually care about his fan rules? I feel like that doesnt really have any place in this thread.

Actually Chaos some people do care about his stuff since it is miles better then what PB gave us.

as it goes wish I had his game cards over PB's craptastic cards they gave us, and Mikes rules were a little more rounder then what PB gave us.

Just got mu shipping notice!!

Right, but this is a thread for palladiums kickstarter, as it stands there are already pages and pages worth of discussion in this thread about his rules, etc which for the longest time confused the gak out of me thinking they were the actual Palladium rules.
