I really do hope it is good news on the Robotech front as the backers are really getting worked up and they just want a bit of news, at this point I don't think they care if it is good, they just want communication. But Good News on that front would be an added bonus.

As a RRT backer, I've been getting the weekly communication/update. I've felt like I've known where it's sitting in the process this whole time. Of course I expected it to be later than projected to begin with. But still I get communication on it every week since the KS has been over. Some backers not getting the updates?

I think there are plenty of the 5,432 backers that don't get or maybe don't care to read the Palladium press releases. Really there isn't much substance to them for the Robotech backers as it is mostly geared towards the sale and production of books and the staff's personal life.

I'm not talking about the weekly palladium updates old boy. There's one specifically for RRT, that is RRT only, makes no other mention of palladium stuff. Every week of course I get the usual Palladium press release, but the separate RRT-only post-KS update comes every week as well. It started showing final design graphics, lately it's usually talking about what models got looked at, printed prototypes QC'ed here in US, what specific adjustments were made for manufacturing and what's going on with it in China (like breaks for Chinese new year, ect). <shrug> I'd say it's been fairly informative as it's progressed.

Also, happy birthday Julius! Don't want to forget to say that.

Those updates are more like a few times a month if that lately, and definitely not weekly. It is not nearly as often or consistent as the Press Release. The last ones were...March 28th so that is at least 10 days ago, then March 17, March 13th before that and the reason those 2 were close together was that the update on the 17th was to answer some of the questions brought up on the 13th.

Roger that, I'll take your word on it since I delete all my messages after reading, I can't check dates. I seem to remember that at least most weeks since the KS I have got a RRT message. Apart from last month, would that be safe to say? If it is big news on the RRT front (hopefully), I would dare say a delay in the RRT update is reasonable, eh?

If not, then I guess they just missed a week.

Imho, since the majority of "the business" portion of the Murmur seemed to deal with Northern Gun 2, I'm thinking that Kevin is anticipating saying 'it's done and at the printer!'

Feel free to peruse the updates as you see fit, in all their glory.

I seem to remember that at least most weeks since the KS I have got a RRT message. Apart from last month, would that be safe to say? If it is big news on the RRT front (hopefully), I would dare say a delay in the RRT update is reasonable, eh?

Eh, not really. They've been a lot better about delivering roughly weekly of late, but there was a several month long period with significantly longer gaps in communication, particularly last year.

But I agree with Jorel; it'd be really nice to finally get some good news on the RRT front. And I will preface that by saying that there is almost zero news they could deliver that would be met with roaring applause and adulation by the ENTIRE rrt community at this point. There are a lot of contentious issues present, and over 5k backers will always have a few dissenting voices.

They could tell us that Wave One mold creation was perfect, that sprues are already being punched out, and that the backers are getting a free YF-4 pack per Battle Cry they bought, and there'd still be someone who'd complain that we didn't get Zentraedi Infantry instead, or something. That's the nature of people, just to get it out of the way.

But yeah, 3 months late, at least 3-4 months more to go to get only 2/3 or so of the boxes out and another 3-5+ months for the remainder? A 9 month project that's turning into a 22 month project? Iffy communications and frustrating stances taken on a variety of subjects? No matter what, someone will complain, and unfortunately, they won't necessarily be unreasonable complaints either.

Let us all hope that is not the case as he has so much on his plate he best finish his current meals before starting more. He already threw graveyard earth in there and there is still Megaverse in Flames that keeps getting pushed. It had best be the finishing up of anything that can actually get out any time soon.

I preordered it with NG2, and Megaverse in Flames. Do you know if they hold off shipping preorders until the entire order is ready?

I think they ship them all as they come out and they charge shipping accordingly. They charge you when it is ready to ship so you will only receive what you paid for and so far that is none of those.

Palladium can't be given a free pass for criticism because people have a lot of emotion invested in it.

Could be worse. Bank could have approved it, and charged an overdraft fee. Not sure about US banking standards, but in Aus, it'd be about $30Aus ($25US). So, umm... yay?

it wouldn't have charged me an overdraft. I'd have had the money in the right account within a few hours of it going through. I've had things a lot bigger go through and paid them later that day and still no overdraft. I have a decent credit union.

I allocated my resources to cover the small difference. Thanks for the help and it was nice to talk to Julius for a moment. You guys do a decent job, I was just put off that if it may mean my order got put back in priority because it didn't clear right away. As it turns out I didn't need to call as they would have just tried it again later. My bad for gettin all worked up at 8 am.
