All the Canadian orders were delayed, the had proccured a local distributer that did not work out.  They are shipping out soon.

Here's the schedule from today forward (ROW = Rest of World):

In short, the schedule from now appears to be roughly:
* Thursday: ROW (finish first book of 1500 orders)
* Friday: US (work second book of 1500 orders)

* Monday: ROW (start final book of 1100 orders)
* Tuesday: ROW (finish final book of 1100 orders)
* Wednesday: US (start third book of 1500 orders)
* Thursday: 4 July holiday
* Friday: probably light staff

* Week of 8 July: finish remaining US orders (about 6000)

They are starting with the smallest orders and working up to the largest for the most part.  My order had six different items.  The Vampire Kit is equal to one item.  If your order had seven or eight items and you live in the US, there's a good chance it will ship tomorrow.  You'll get an e-mail with a UPS tracking number.  Want to know anything else?  

Thanks for the insight fellas...

Actually benjoshua, since you asked,  there were a couple more projects for which I could use an update...

I am not that good.  

Just received my Reaper Bones  package. The detail is excellent on these figures. They are soft light weight plastic, something like the FFG figures you see in Descent or DOOM, but the detail is a level above those. I've opened up about 3/5ths of mine so far and the only trouble I have had are a few bent swords (and only 2 or 3 so far). The owl-bear fig needs a weighted base. The green translucent figs are hard for me to make out the details. The plastic material reminds me of the old marx toys such as the vikings&knights or Fort Apache cowboys and indians.

I do think I will add bases to these figures. I have box loads of old heroclix and mage knight figures so I clip off an early MK fig and reused the base. It worked perfectly and I will just cover the base when I try to paint the fig.

Reaper has finally started talking to their customers and I think it has erased a lot of the anger and ill-will that their silence over these last few months has created. It was a hell of a deal even for these small figures and the people who went in for the gignormous figures have gotten quite a bargain as well.

The assortment of model types is fantastic, but I wouldn't have wanted a second vampire level set (basic assortment of around 240 figures) unless it was to put them up for sale. The people who stock-piled these basic sets for $100 a pop are going to make a mint.

I was just looking at the Cthulhu Wars (or whatever it is called) kickstarter again and the main thing that keeps me away from it are the early bird pledge levels. It is up to $40 more to get involved in the kickstarter now and I just think to myself 'F' This, they want to screw me out of more money for the same reward level because I'm late to the party. Hell, they don't need, or seem to really want, my money. I think this is one of the worst reward ideas I've ever seen for a kickstarter.
