I know I wasn't complaining on the length of time it's taken, and I'm pretty sure Regesh wasn't either, I read his post as a more general question.

As a rule of thumb, I add 1 month per stretch goal unlocked to "delivery time", so you're ahead of schedule. ;)
Haha! Cheers ;)

Nope, Regash didn't mean it in any way as a complaint.
When you've had your first schedule for the team at the start of the campaign, I already thought that the short amount of time was raher ambitious.

The sculpts are vom Pedro, so they're top quality.
If you make sure the casts are in the same league, no complaints from me.
And it's not like I need them because I have to play Slann on a tourney next week.

No, take your time, I think most of us are grateful that someone out there takes on all the hassle of giving us something nice to purchase.
And while I think that established companies shouldn't be allowed to use kickstarters, I'd always support projects like yours.

Again... Thanks. The original schedule was actually quite workable but the extra miniatures really just meant there was a huge chunk of time where Pedro was just working his fingers to the bone

Just wanted to wish all the froggers, and chief craoker JBone a merry Christmas. How about a special edition holiday frogman to slow down production :p

In all seriousness, I hope production goes along well so that you don't have to worry about frogs but rather use your time wisely and spend it with family and friends during the next two weeks

I can now confirm that the final order has gone in and production will begin over the Christmas period! The amount of miniatures to be produced is truly astounding but I have the utmost faith in the good people at the casters to get them produced in time to start sending teams out in January!

Have a great Christmas everybody! Thanks again for all of the support!

So at some point it becomes more appropriate to talk about how many tons of metal you'll have stacked in boxes in your living room?

If your shipping time starts looking more like the end of January, is there any way to delay shipment? Apologies if this leads to extra effort on your part. But I'm going to be away for three weeks in February, and I'd rather my package arrived "after" that than "during".

Just send me a message on Twitter asking where the frogs are or return your perk manager the day I place the order for all of the frogs. Those are two great ways people have recently gone straight to the back of the mailing list.

LOL.

Of course, some of us <self-edit> upset </self-edit> Johnny so frequently, that the back of the list is a very busy place :lol:

Seriously J-Bone, have a great holiday break sailing your enormous yacht around the Caribbean, I look forward to getting my frogs next summer :wink:

Not bugging on the shipping (honest, I don't want the back of the queue!) but I hope you'll post pics of the mountain of lead (well, metal) from before you start sending it out.
