As it is, I google "exotic frogs", and I'm like..."oh, I like those!", and "They would look good like that, but really glossy!"

I've "saved" about 12 different colors, only to change my mind and pick 14 more...

Can't wait 8)
Mine are at stage where I've done the team, gloss varnished and run out of basing grit for them! So having to wait for some to be delivered as seems to be bit of a shortage of it at the minute...
Once they're not totally shiny I'll post pics!

Right, right, should have put a smiley face after my message.

I was going for "The frogs will get here when they get here. Until then, checking the mailbox every day!". Not complaining, JB was very upfront about how long this will take and that's just how crowdfunding works.

Dont actually recall complaining at all, nor hounding JBone via PM asking where they are. Cut US some slack man :P Happen to believe i've been very patient, and i suspect Jonny is making me wait extra cause of the 2 complete dicings he's suffered against me lol

Last update said most all of UK orders shipped. Next would be Europe and then US. Personally hoping to get mine at Chaos Cup if he is coming for it.

I am a bit worried not having received my 5 teams pledge yet in France. I tried to ask JBone by MP here and on Indiegogo last week and got no answer.

Where could I get some reassurance about the status of my pledge :( ?

Still not got mine - had hoped to use them at the ACC this year, but that's unlikely now. :(
But they'll get here when they get here, and they'll still be one of my favourite set of models, so will keep waiting (and hoping).

There was a discussion on FB yesterday, someone asking for an update from Spain. JBone stated on there that he is continuing to plough through getting the pledges shipped. When you think of the work involved, alongside holding down a job and dealing with everything else life throws at you, it's an amazing effort.

Trust me they are worth the wait.

Point Number One: I do not want to tweak anyones nose or make fun of them. Least of all JBone. It is what it is.

Point Number Two: If you live in the Western or Southern Hemispheres once you heard the distribution plans you said, "OK, by Christmas, maybe, and moved on."

So hearing Brits and Europeans with their undies in a bunch about "I don't have mine yet!" is humorous. :o

Have a good day. :wink:

I actually started playing after the kickstarter campaign was issued. I started listening to Double Skulls podcast and that's how I heard of the campaign itself. Reading through the thread I realized what many others said, that it's a tremendous amount of work and all of it for the love of the game actually. So if anyone is so tired of waiting I can buy out his pledge. :) Any case - good luck to JBone, hope that he continues to make the podcast after all of this is over! :)
