Newest update from the Kickstarter:

Hey there backers,

Here’s the news for this week.

Manufacturing is largely on track with almost all items finishing production this week. One or two items may finish production next week and will then immediately ship. We are shipping shortages directly to the international hubs from the manufacturers, rather than sending all of them to QML for separation and shipment, so we’ll save some time there.
We do not yet have estimates for arrivals, as items are coming from all over the world to hubs all over the world. Expect this process to take a few weeks and we’ll update as things start to ship and arrive. We are getting closer!

Shipments from Wave 1 are largely complete, with fulfillment for Wave 2 ongoing for remaining orders and ongoing efforts to complete the remaining missing items as quickly as possible.

There has been a brief hold during the storm and operations will resume as soon as it’s safe. Book-only shipments are also ready to be processed and will start going out shortly. The EU and AU hub shipments from QML are ready to go and will be booked to depart once the storm has passed.

Remember that Wave 1 were orders paid by May 17th, and Wave 2 orders were paid by August 12th. Wave 1 and 2 include orders in the queue for EU, UK, Australia and China hubs. There are less than 1,000 orders since August 12th where the backer has completed their survey and are awaiting shipping costs to be applied. We are mindful of the holidays approaching and want to get retailers fulfilled as soon as packages are done for regular backers. To keep to that time table and the honored exclusivity, we will be fulfilling retailers at the end of Wave 2.

Wave 3 will still be fulfilled, but given the due date was originally May, we feel it important to honor our commitments to the backers who submitted their pledges on time. There are always late pledges that roll in on Kickstarters, and will be for years to come. We plan to fulfill all of them as they come in.

Have a great week, everyone! We are getting there!

Not sure what to make of this. Are the EU hubs ready to go? Why wait because of a storm in the US when the items are in the EU? And no actual dates (which I understand toa degree)

If I was a gambling man: CGL will have all vendors start selling Mercenaries stuff from December 1st because of Christmas sales profit regardless of how many Backers have been served. And EU/RoW will get their stuff “early 2025”
