It looks like someone has invented a super-powerful laser pointer.
Yup looks like someone checking the LOS
Yup. April Fool’s day on shipping.. Still not shipped. Real Soon Now. Sigh.
Looks like that Laser hit the bag factory judging from today's release from Ares.

Official Ares Update for Immediate Release - via the BBBoSQ News Agency*
Due to the delays in the release of Tripods & Triplanes, a new project manager has been hired to expedite production. Experienced with the high pressure Hollywood world, he will bring a no-nonsense sense of urgency to the project.
“Just as soon as I finish book six - now books six and seven,” said new Ares special projects manager, George R.R. Martin, “and book seven - now books eight, nine and ten - of the Song of Fire and Ice series, I’ll get cracking on the production delays so we will have Martians in our lifetime. Assuming I live that long.”

Ha! Would be funny if the situation were not so far from funny . . .
Well I got an email saying my Scar pre order should be shipped to me by the end of April so at least BSG is on track. I am off cruising next week and will see what they have at the Armchair Adventurer store in Honolulu when I get there in a couple of weeks.
A drop roll? I'd rather a drum roll. . . . looks like we might be on the beach when they wash ashore . . .
Rumble rumble rumbleCRASH!
Chief Inquisitor: There is only one thing in life that is certain...and that’s the Spanish Inquisition...and Death. Two! Two things in life that are certain, the Spanish I quisition and Death!
Cardinal Biggles: It’s April 15th, Lord.
Chief Inquisitor: Right. There are three things in life that are certain, the Spanish Inquisition, Death, and taxes!
Cardinal Fang: ...and Ares, Lord.
Chief Inquisitor: The Spanish Inquisition, Death, Taxes, and Tripods & Triplanes still hasn’t shipped!
Cardinals in Unison: But Real Soon Now!
Kickstarter Backer: Oh...next update will be “shipping now”? I wasn’t expecting that!
*****
Update 29 is that it passed the drop test, will have the bags in hand today, and next message should be, “Shipping now”. Is that the light at the end of the tunnel? Have we made it out of the dungeon? Is the check in the mail?!?
...not holding my breath, though. I don’t wanna die this close!
Are we sure that Ares are not waiting for the t.v. series to end before releasing the models?
Wife and I have read all the GoT books and catch the series on DVD when it comes out (about a year behind TV viewers). Too many changes between books and the movies including some characters who died in the TV show but survived in the books. Major one being the King of the Norths wife WAS NOT at the red feast so was not killed. That makes for a line of Starks in the books that were ended in the movies making a big difference and possable issues down the road.
So anyone want to do an invaision date raffle for a Mars bar? I have a bag of frozen ones dated 2+ years ago . . .
Been in the depths of space between the two planets for that long then Dave?
Anything wrong with the bags?

Two years from Mars to Earth - sounds about right @ closest orbital approach.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
That's what I thought Tim, so any day now!

Oh is this kickstarter still happening its been so long and so well handled, I almost forgot about it.
All I wanted was Balls N17
Oh well back to my cubbyhole I suppose and continue to wait, Ill clear the postbox cobwebs first mind
You guys still have HOPE??...Sigh...Someone is not doing their job right. It will get here when it gets here....just need to make sure it is in my will so someone gets it.
Oh dear! I wonder if Hunter had ordered it, if he did . . . I may need that garage extension after all . . .
My lovely wife has just brought this bottle from Porto, Portugal, where she spent last weekend with her friends.

Frankly I do believe we will get the toys in summer and this is just ok...for me at least.
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Hmmm... These may not make it to me in time for next week's Curious ComiCon 2019. I was hoping to put the production game on the table for that show. Oh, well...
The Demo Set will be there, and so will another space game that belongs in another part of the Forum.
