I have to admit, I haven't checked the campaign site for a while now.
Thing is, he stated in an update in April, 3 months ago, that he'll send UK, then Europe, then rest.
Last time I checked, Germany was still in Europe. Someone from Australia received theirs already...

Yes, I'm really worried now. And I hope he sent the frogs in a way so they can be tracked.

you don't have to be worried Regash. when all is said and done, if you don't get your minis I'm sure Johnny will send you another package, or issue a refund, or come to some other arrangement. I don't know him personally, but I'm sure his reputation in the BB world is important to him. Chillax!

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not worried about J_Bone not being honest!
I'm more worried about the package already gone missing and when I finally know that it is missing, it'll be way to late to issue a search.

Regash, I did not get a package yet either, so that makes 2 teams in Germany still waiting to be delivered. Not sure if that can take your worries a bit

There was over 1400 backers of the project

Thats potentially 1400 packages

How many are you expecting him to send out in a week??

I have done some big ebay sales in the past and its very time consuming checking stuff off and parcelling them and then sending them

This isnt Johnnys full time job, if hes pushing 70 parcels a week hes doing well imo

Give the guy a break I am sure he will deliver

Regash isn't angry about the delay (or "delay"). He's concerned because most in his region have already received their packages.

It could be just luck of the draw, some people in the UK got their packages really quick others had to wait weeks, look at the last few pages 2 weeks ago someone only just received theirs and they lived in Copenhagen

I do think some guys need to cut the man some slack

As I said earlier logistically it must be a total nightmare particularly for a 1 man band like J-Bone

70 parcels a week is indeed about the number I thought of as well. That makes about 20 weeks, so close to 6 months after delivery of the pile of lead, provided all goes well. In the case of miscasts and packing errors, I expect those will be taken care of right away rather then at the end of the queue, so those would mess up the 20 week approximation and move the real effort closer to the half year estimate.

I received the "Shipping begins" update on the 12th of March. Given the numbers, I won't start panicking until about September ;)

I was notified by J-bone on 6/19. He said my 2 sets were packed and ready for shipping. Nothing yet.

I have much bigger figh to fry, TBH. I am very happy to wait, as by the pictures, the wait will be very much worth it. My friend in Germany is also fine with waiting.

I am surprised no one who may have recieved their frogs has not posted a picture of a painted frog, tho. Mean to say, I am looking forward to seeing what people are coming up with. As I posted, I must have found about 20+ ideas just by looking at "poision rainforrest frogs"...

I'm thinking of painting my set in a Olive green.

I have the GreenDog Slann team in Glossy Blue. The roll Jordan team(which I considered to be the BEST Slann team BEFORE J-Bones Slann)in a light Grey. The IMPACT! Slann in Blackgreen. The others are unpainted.

Anyway...Yeah. Bright Orange. Thats the ticket... :lol:

What "primary" color did you use, mate?
