my local games store has the box in stock & a website I buy from has half the add-ons 'in stock' with the rest as 'pre-order'. I still have zilch :(

So pretty much a third of the way through the shipping window and it doesn't like anything has been shipped yet. oh well maybe next year.

It will all be over by Christmas. Which Christmas has yet to be determined.

The way it's going, Ripley will just be getting her pack of Prodos minis to show the marines for the briefing scene.

It would actually be an interesting wager to guess whether the entire cast of the first Alien film will be dead before wave 1 completes shipping.

This seems a bit more, erm, morbid, then I expected from you

George RR Martin will have released his last 2 books for ASOIAF before we see anything lol.

This last week end, a friend of Monsieur H and I took for us our pledge at Crisis in Antwerp (Belgium)...

You'll be happy to know that even if we must inform Jarek/Michal about the name of our friend, send a copy of my ID card, a copy of my pledge manager (same for H) where I wrote that I could have the pred tiles (Jarek/Michal had it before) and our friend must had his own ID card...

The prodos employee didn't check NOTHING (noticed and reported by another friends) so I could have "a lot of friends of mine" who could come for pick my pledge... And he forgot my predalien and a power loader for H...

The boxes our friend got were 2 KS versions and 4 Retail versions...

Obviously it wasn't so difficult to tick what we would have... (our friend din't notice anything he never pledge for AVP)...

Thank you prodos, I'll write you an another mail... Maybe the predalien shipping cost would less than a box so I can expect it very soon...

Nevertheless, I'll not complaining too much when I can see that many other backer didn't see the shadow of any box...

Edited,

Can you use that cursed skill to tell the rest of us where our copies are?

Well, thanks for feedback, however not sure you are trying to imply? Shall we stop trusting backers?
It was me in fact issuing the KS out at Crisis (Jarek) and on of my cursed skills is photographic memory... so I looked at your print out email and know what it was about, thus I said "not worries" when you wanted to show me your ID.
Maybe I should be more policing this process and treat all bakers like they would have "a lot of friends of mine"...

Hello Jarek, "as I can discuss with God instead of His Saints" here are some of comments :

- A lot of french friends (and belgium ones) quoted that your control process were not very so serious and several gave the idea that, funnily, they could pick lots of pledges for lots of pledgers... I don't speak about MY pledge in particular but you would agree that it give not a very good image about prodos after all the mistakes... (And I wasn't at Crisis but a friend of mine)

- As you have an eagle eye and you tell me that you personnally looked at my email print... Can you explain me why I miss my (only one) predalien mini please ? And why Monsieur H miss one power loader ?

Today I receive this email :

On the other hand, can you explain me why you gave not to my friend the pred tiles although you let me trust that it could possible to pick it at Crisis ?

As I think that a predalien would cost many much less than a starter box, would you be kind enough to tell me of I can expect it for the next days instead of next months/year please ?

And one more time (after many many many ones) : CAN YOU ALLOW MONSIEUR H, CCCP AND ME TO PUBLISH THE FRENCH VERSION CARDS PLEASE ? You still have not opened the possibility for french backers to order a french version of AVP on your pledge manager !!

Thank you in advance for your answerS...

Serviteur,

(P.S : I must confess that your prototypes for Age of Tyrants are very beautifull)

Oh feth me, one of you either learn French or the other polish, you both arguing in English is just painful!

Thank you for the french cards.

Waiting for your answer,

Just got my shipping notice !

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, great stuff.

Don't celebrate too much until you check the contents of said package once it arrives. Hurray, you got your free tiles and nothing else! Whoops...

Yeah,
Before you start sending out little bits and pieces to correct mistakes....
Can you send out pledges and make more mistakes ...

Once we all have something.

Correct everything later!

panic...

I only know foul language, sexual innuendo and pick up lines, still up for a chat?

Note 'war zone resurrection' pops in to argue with a backer but doesn't post an update on how shipping is going. Pretty much indicates nothing has been shipped yet.

Aucun problème mon Cher Joyboozer : c'est avec plaisir que nous attendons ta visite sur Warmania par exemple ^^

It's absolutely that !! I would accept arguing... But after 3 times about missing stuff and many much more about shipping wave 1... It's very serious... Really...

Serviteur,

Morikun

Just an FYI for you all, I decided to run an experiment - rather than adding in the last items I wanted when the pledge manager re-opened, I ordered from the Prodos website directly. I pre-ordered well in advance, and the release date/shipping date they gave was the 5th of November.

So of course, here we are a week later, and they have yet to be shipped.

Duly noted..

Bloody typical, have got Gates of Antares, 15mm ancients stuff and AvP now all arriving within a week of each other.

Not just need the cloning technology to take the next step..

I don't care how much I have to paint, when these finally show up, they will take top priority! I've been spending the last two years getting ready for this. Now I just need to be patient for two more years and then I might get an update as to when they will ship to me!

We will still be saying this next year .

If you are not a member of closed Facebook page, a bit of an update.

1). Spam from Ninja Division.
Prodos have supplied ND with customer details to action the US delivery. However they also included a fair number of UK customers too. When this was pointed out, as it breaks UK laws on data protection, we had the usual oh so professional response from Jarek and a mini melt down. ND have confirmed to those of us who asked that Prodos supplied UK customer details.

2). Lastest update from Jarek...

Hi there, another quick update.

1st off all, some of you have received a spam email from Ninja Division, this issue is now resolved. Chris from ND has confirmed that all emails of USA backers we have provided to them are now removed from their emailing list.
https://gyazo.com/b35a6cf81993c149aa1751ff68336cbd

2. Shipping this week only 87 parcels went out, Wednesday was a bank holiday here in Poland and we have few staff members off, the good news is that next week we plan to speed up on KS shipping.

3. Another reminder to update your pledge manager with real names please, we still have several accounts not updated (300+)... please make sure that your data is correct otherwise we won't be able to ship your KS.

4. Ninja Division is our USA AvP distributor. However we are handling the 2nd wave of KS, not ND. Some of 2nd wave parcels will have to be shipped from Poland due to a mistake we have made, we have shipped around 10% less add-ons that we should to fulfill all USA/Canada.

5. Australia - they are part of UE shipping, we have them on the list, we would like to however make sure that we ship you KS in no more than 2 waves due ridiculous shipping cost (2 AVP games with addons = 190 Australian dollars). We are also looking to get some local distributor to help us out in fulfilling the KS.

6. Finally, every backer with it's 2nd wave will receive a 25% discount voucher to our online store as a compensation for the issues we have caused. It can be used at any time by you or friend of yours. Thanks.

Not just UK backers.

Thanks big Jim.

Anyone who has the minis can you let me know how tall (feet to top of head) The marines and Preds are please?

Thanks

Unless someone jumps in before I get a chance, I'll go and measure them in a few minutes. The Predators are VERY tall, I can tell you that now.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Predator - shooting - 44mm

Predator - spear - 43mm

Predator - disc - 40mm


Marines - average - 35mm

Alien Infant Warrior - 44mm

GW Tactical Marine - 33mm


I used a cheap school ruler so measurements won't be perfect, but that should give you an idea. Measurements do not include bases, and are to the top of each models head.

Having said that, the Colonial Marines don't look half bad next to GW or other "28mm" figures.

Thanks Ktulhut

So I had thought US/Canada shipping was waiting on the 2nd wave stuff to ship. If that isn't the case, what is going on? Ever notice how their updates tend to cause more confusion than offer usable information? If ND is shipping NA's wave one stuff, and are not shipping the wave 2 stuff, what gives? Is it just that Prodos can't pay ND to ship? Does ND even have the product to ship? Questions man, we've got questions!
