I'm fairly sure the link is a breach of data protection and I recognise at least 2 Dakka members on that list EDIT they've removed it I've PMd the 2 members to let them know they need to update their pledge manager

Hi there, another update.
We are going to bring back Kickstarter page after Christmas.
Shipping, continues, as per our previous update, we plan to finish it within 3 moths, thus there is no need of sending us emails asking if your KS was sent out. You will be notified via automated email once our packing team print out copy of your pledge manager to be processed.
This week along with last one we got 232 parcels out (shipped Monday and Today). Approximately 650 in total of 2nd wave is out.
Another call: to update update your PM! PLEASE.
For example, out of first 200 backers we have 29 with "nicknames" instead real names, we simply can't ship it as the parcel must be sign in.
Especially USA and Canadian Backers, as we are getting ready for your 2nd wave to be shipped soon...
EXAMPLE LINK:,
https://gyazo.com/879c1f1797e2a80bd706bd4d88a9f24a
Please go and update the data in the pledge manager at calc.prodos.co.uk
Additionally we have 81 backers, not "activated" yet, meaning their Pledge Manager is not filled in, if you one of them please contact us: service@prodos.co.uk
https://gyazo.com/38193ddb13862c14ccd2057ee02b0974
Notification at 2nd Nov and still no arrived:
These parcels are mainly 2nd wave only (add-ons), they are being processes gradually, packing team simply allocated their capacity on backers that have not received 1st wave yet at all. Please expect them to come shortly (within a week or two at max).
Nothing else has changed from last (14th November) update, shipping continues, we have been given more approval on addons, meaning that more parcels with more models will go out.
Regards
PG

**CURNOW**

Yeah come on guys stop wanting to know where the 2yrs overdue product is !!! We are on track to deliver it all out in the next 12wks at 115 parcels a week thats a grand total of 1380 parcels .....um yeah even tho 99% of all our backers have received their pledges ...um i guess its just happens to be people you dont know or have no internet ..um yeah thats what it is ...um how many backers did we have ??

Anyway its all your fault for having names we dont count as names and because of this excus....um i mean reason we cant send you anything untill you make it past our imagery moving goalposts

What the feth would be the point of bringing back the KS page at this time?

Does this imply US and Canadian backers should have already received Wave 1?

And more 'approved add-ons' and yet no specifics or pictures.

And the gak show continues.

**Bolognesus**

And to add to the hilarity, I'm one of the two dakkanauts DaveC just PM'ed.
Funnily enough, I also happen to be 100% certain that I checked whether I had entered my real name in the PM last time they brought this up.
Turns out I already had.
Just now, it magically showed my nic in that very same name+surname field.

Kind of a new level of fething with us, IMO.

There was definitely something fishy with that pledge manager. Anytime I changed something, such as dropping the non-existant 3D terrain, I had to also re choose the optional freebies, every time. So its no surprise that the nic names re-appear, probably everytime they re-open the pledge manager... sigh.

**Bolognesus**

In that case it would have been everyone though, wouldn't it?

**CURNOW**

Ok ffs so i just went and changed mine .it was open again and even tho i checked it last time to make sure it had my full name in it now only had my surname . They need to get the gak together and email everyone with issues and tell them what they are .

**Grumpae**

Only if you use a nickname on kickstarter. I do not.

**shadowtyrant**

Yeah, happened to me as well. After the pledge manager got reopened, my name was replaced by the kickstarter nick again. Happened not every time, but several times, so I made screenshots to prove that I already entered the correct data, and the last time the Pledge manager was reopened, I had to change the nick again, even though I definitely filled it out correctly before.the whole system is a big mess and seems to overwrite some data on it's own, whenever Prodos reopens it.@Prodos: JUST STOP THAT gak AND GET YOURSELF TOGETHER!

**Pacific**

Wait for it! *drum roll*

I have received my AvP KS pledge.

I don't want to go on about it too much as I know a lot of people are still waiting for theirs, but just thought UK posters might take some heart from it. FYI mine included some wave 2 (the hounds) which I'm assuming is why it was delayed that long.

A couple of things I will mention. Firstly, feth me the box is heavy (6kg), secondly feth me those are some beautiful sculpts. Honestly, I wish the child language filter wasn't in place on the forum in this instance; the word 'feth' should be read as 'feth' - I don't swear that often, but they really are that good.

**Nostromodamus**

On the topic of PM accuracy, it said on mine "Paid: £0"

I have paid already, and assume the "£0" means "no credit left to spend", right?

Does everyone else's say that?

Or is it weird because I'm a late backer?

Or does Prodos think I haven't paid yet?

Congrats! I don't know about everyone else, but I'm always happy to see another backer get their stuff! Happy hunting!

I'm an original backer (lucky me...) and mine says the same. I'm also assuming that means you have no credit left. Your reciept should have the totals of everything you choose, and paid for. As long as you have that, you should be fine. Mostly...

**Nostromodamus**

Thanks for the confirmation mate

I've noticed this happening quite often, and, despite messaging Prodos to check my pledge manager was good, and being assured it was, continued to find changes.

**CURNOW**

Do we actually have a list of whats in wave 2 / 3 and what we are waiting for I've got stuff like the sqt and the head pack and if they arnt even ready yet i will just ditch them

**CptJake**

I'm pretty sure both the head pack and the SGT are going to be ready soon.

**Joyboozer**

Oh suprise, suprise, I went into my pledge manager, name had changed again and it had been reopened.

**Stormonu**

Jeez, 3 more months to finish shipping? These guys are competing with PB for slowest fulfillment record.

Maybe they ought to look into getting fan-friends to help over a weekend or something for shipping. Even PB was smart enough to do that.

**Rick_1138**

FFFEEEEETTTTTTHHHHHHH

i JUST WENT INTO MY PLEDGE MANAGER AND IT ASKED ME TO CLOSE IT. feths SAKE, WHY!

My real name is in the blue box at the top so i assume thats the name they use for shipping. Where do i look to see if its my real name on the shipping section??

**CURNOW**

Go to your details section in the top right . It should list your email address , full name , and the paypal you used . Then there is a separate tab for your address

**Ruglud**

Well, I've 'closed' my pledge manager for the umpteenth time and quadruple checked my name is correct...

SOON...

**Joyboozer**

The funny part is each time you close your pledge you get a conformation, I've got 5.

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

The funny thing is there has never been any issue with my name yet I still haven't been shipped anything. It's almost like it's an excuse to cover up how pathetic they are as an organisation.

**CptJake**

Yeah, my name has always been correct as well (I do think it has to do with what name you use on KS).

**Bioptic**

I just like how people who didn't pledge via the Kickstarter will not have the opportunity to see their message of "please don't ask us where your pledge is". Complete coincidence I stumbled across it on Dakka. Haven't once heard a peep out of them since I handed over my money.

Yeah same here. (Oh and hi, long time lurker finally bothered to register an account!).

What gets me is that the "don't bother us" update also says that the dispatch-type email (which seems like a lot of other people got on 2 Nov) actually is means "we might be dispatching it sometime... Soon!". I'm assuming that it isn't followed by an actual dispatch email so have no way of know when or if anything has really been posted. Just so fed up with the blatant lies and crap they keep coming out with, I just want my models!!

**Ruglud**

The funny part is, this just isn't funny in anyway, but you have to laugh... Go figure

**Soteks Prophet**

Well I bought my copy in my flgs 2 months ago and played it about 3 times as it's imbalanced as hell.

Also my FLGS now has alien queen/loader/etc in stock so I question why people bothered to kickstart it...

I question why I bothered too, but sadly my psychic vision was clouded two years ago and I didn't expect things to turn out the way that have. If I had known then... Well... I doubt anyone would have backed it if they'd known how useless prodos were going to be.

Were the predators overpowered and the marines under? I've never played but that is the impression I got from a few youtube playthroughs.
