Pledge: Finish a second squad of minis… Giftmas stuff, all hush hush so no reveal until December.

Windy in Europe? Pah! It was just about 90°F yesterday and I was sweating buckets at work. I wake up and get out for work today and its just about 39°F with the potential for snow. Gotta love living in the mountains.

The longest I’ve waited for a KS..   4(?) years and counting. My second Kingdom Death pledge. I expected a bit of a wait for the almost two that it took for my first to get processed. Honestly, I just want my figures and then I’m done. Its not worth the hassle of Poots doing business in China for the production issues. I’ll sail the grey and skirt the politics only to point out the marriage of the CCP, command economics and current events regarding the health crisis. Similarly, if you look at production of minis, Signum out of Ukraine isn’t kicking things out in the mail. Production ceases, shipments get put on hold, people wait/get irritated, business crawls.

I’ve not cancelled an order that has taken ages. I was in the same boat you are now in Sundancer. I ordered an army from TitanForge and it go sent to my address properly. The carrier claimed that the parcel was unable to be delivered and sent it back. I reached out to TF and found out the issue after some time and they found it and reshipped. On top of the production, there was all the shipping back and forth between the EU-US so the trip of Botwars for you and Oz is really not bad. Your FLGS messed up with your order and this just means a change of how you order figures so that you get them in a “timely” fashion.

Yes 2022 is almost half done. It means I’m on a Giftmas crunch. Lead time for shipping is not getting any better.
