Thread: WoG Kickstarter now delayed till 5th December!

  1. #1

    Unhappy WoG Kickstarter now delayed till 5th December!

    Got an Email this morning from Roberto & Ares advising that dispatch is delayed until 5th December due to more problems with the cardboard items to be included.
    No doubt all you Kickstarter chaps/lasses will find one in your inbox today.

    Sounds like no "joy" for Christmas then.

    5th December - plus average 6 weeks shipping from China. We're looking at (optimistically) mid January, realistically a few weeks after that.

    Just like the real thing. New planes or ships never get out on time.

    As expected I'm sorry to say, if not by my birthday in Feb then the KS anniversary perhaps ?!

    No surprises here, as soon as I signed up I knew it was a case of "They'll arrive when they arrive"

    Console yourselves men! Buy something from the aerodrome accessories store. I just ordered one of each plane type from series 8.

    No surprise, I told them based on their normal delays they should say November or December back when they asked me to look over the draft Kickstarter page.

    I'm totally surprised by this delay - NOT

    Like James, I accepted that this Kickstarter would arrive whenever it did (much like other KS projects I've funded)

    Yes, remember the discussion between you, me, Jose and Ares? Their original delivery plan was for July, with August as a realistic date. We suggested declaring the end of the year as it would be good PR when (ha!) the models arrived early.

    Seems our crystal balls were more accurate than we hoped at the time

    All I will say is I reserve final judgement when I see what arrives not when they arrive. With reference to not enough 0/400's of the correct type to fulfill orders!
    See you on the Dark Side......

    email received from Ares:-

    "On a related matter: Our customer care reached out to ask you if you were ok in changing your choice of the "B" version of O/400 (the default in the pledge manager) with the "A" version. This was a precaution to prevent shortages during fulfillment, but you need not worry. Everybody of you will receive the chosen version.
    Yours,
    Roberto & Ares"

    Let's hope that works out as planned.
