Don't be ridiculous. They'll contain the fire before it gets out of the corner of the warehouse reserved for KS backers. The rest of the copies earmarked for other sources will be safe.
Depends of the insurance coverage.

I know, I was just riding a dead horse, if you have that saying. If not, I can explain.
By now I'm really oogeling the idea to demand my money back, which was in the runs of roughly 500 GBP. By now I lost interrest in this game.
Yeah, I know, won't get it back.
In Prodos' mailbox, nobody will hear you rage.
Mh, maybe I should make that my sig ...

It was bad enough seeing copies sat their in a local store the other week. Prodos sending copies direct from mail order is another entirely, and not really acceptable when by all accounts there are huge numbers of backers still waiting. Their FB page has got pretty spiky actually looking at it now, you can see why.
I'm a patient person but think this latest development is very, very poor on Prodos' part. As BrookM says, one wonders if they're having a problem with revenue stream and really need the money.
It is really really sad.
I have written them a very sarcastic mail via their contact form and, oh wonders, Michael reacted ...
Blah blah don't have your address (which was on the receipt) and will send out (hold on to your seats) the day we receive these information.
Well, they've gotten that information - again - today, so let's wait and see.
If you actually have to yell at them to get things moving, good luck folks, this company will go crashing more sooner than later.

Ah, so just the usual.
And there I thought, stuff like that would only happen in North Korea, China and Turky ... mh, maybe Prodos is planing dictatorship o the (games) world ...
Well, pals, like that, hardly likely.

Hey come on, you're allowed to get excited about Starcraft Minis!
I won't have any problem with handing over money in one hand while the other hand receives miniatures. The problem for Prodos is obviously when that other hand gives an 'IOU', for whatever reason that might be..
I was going to buy a core set at retail but I'll stick with my prepainted clix for now. I'll still consider getting some of the figs that I don't have like a female predator when they get around to them but my purchases right now are about 1/5 to 1/10 what they would have been had prodos conducted themselves better.

Oh, yeah, there's this gem the Prodos rep posted in the Starcraft mini game thread:
In regarding this product, it's not KS projects, we are not doing any more KS as the business is self sustained with current line of the Products and services the Prodos provides to other companies.
BTW, if you would ask me how the hell we are getting licenses...The simply answer will be that no one wants to deal with any corporation. Now, after a year of fun with Fox we know how to play that game.
They got this. No worries folks, they now know how to handle these big corporations.

US and Canadian backers now have to wait until August or September
Hello, here is your AvP:THB update for Friday July 10, 2015
We are looking to increase the number of packages shipping a week, by using a UK based business partner (to be announced) to ship the UK packages, out of the 700 UK backers 300 have already been shipped, once our partner is in place things will speed up, know that we are working on this. Once this partner is in place the Polish facility will be able to focus on other the European and Asian (including Australia) backers. We have already shipped some European backers and the first Australian backers this week.
US backers will have an option to pick-up their AvP board games at Gencon, to be able to pick up your copy at Gencon you must email sales@prodos.co.uk the email must contain your first name, surname and order number, then at pick up you must present an ID with your name on it. All other individual USA and Canadian orders will begin shipping from our US partner (to be announced) following Gencon. All US and Canadian backers will be shipped to backers by September.
September is the reconfigured Retail launch for the USA and Canada. No more boxes will be shipped to US shops before then.
Wave 2 approvals are still pending, but should be sorted out soon.
As always we appreciate your patience and understanding.
Cheers,
Prodos Games LTD

Soon?
But interresting ... so the UK is not part of Europe?
Odd, last time I checked a map, it was.
My numbers estimate, it will take until somewhere around November, until they've shipped base game boxes to all backers.
I know, mini-KS get delayed on a regular basis, but with the exception of one other, this is the worst, when it gets down to being late and the rest of the handling.
That other one won't fulfill and hardly makes a peep, with updates every half a year or so, promising unicorns and the coming of the almighty, the moment he starts fulfillment.
