I think there were ways around it from day 1 …

It never hurts the ones it should, because they do generate a lot of cash flow for Kickstarter.

Anyways …

@jamescutts if this was any other kickstarter I would have believed the ‘everything is handed off’ bit, but then why don’t they say so ?
Why talk about hubs having missing items but at the same time not mentioning which ones those are and what our options are?
Or did they burn through all of their funds and can not give us any options at all ?

Again … we are missing so many details that the team don’t share or are unable to share.

I doubt we will ever get a post mortem about the entire thing, but I bet there’d be some interesting things in there that may explain everything.

And yeah … November isn’t happening as that’s too close to the Christmas rush.
After that anything that has to be ordered at a factory runs into the Chinese new year things, so …

I’d say April 2025 is when we will have the first bits on hand. There’s been nothing to indicate any additional speed.

Oh … the Battle Systems kickstarter posted an update telling us that a ship from China had needed 10 instead of 5 weeks to cover the same distance.

(again … yet another kickstarter that manages to know where their products are and when they’re due to hit port … )

A lot of the issues are likely due to the complexity that CGL itself created within this kickstarter.
