    Posted project update #6

    Shipping Update

    Hey everyone. First up, apologies from all here at Ninja Blocks for going dark over the last few weeks. This whole process has been a blur, time has just flown by, but we are back on top of it now. Without further ado, the question you are all asking...

    When will I get my Ninja Block?

    Soon! We said May and we are still aiming to ship most rewards in May and pre-orders in June. We've put together a mega update over on our shiny new website that hopefully sheds some light on what we've been up to. Check out the whole post for details

    http://ninjablocks.com/blog/2012/5/14/mega-ninja-kickstarter-update.html

    Speaking of the shiny new website, its got a forum that we will be watching. So please post any questions, suggestions, or crazy ideas there so we can all discuss.

    We can't wait to start sending out Ninja Blocks en masse and seeing what you guys do with them. Shouldn't be too long now.

    Cheers,

    Team Ninja

    p.s. sorry about cross posting everywhere if you got this more than once.

    @sarathy Big apologies from the whole team from the lack of updates. The team has been flat out building blocks, testing blocks, modding blocks, writing backend software and a lot more. Wait out for a proper update in a couple of days.

    @oded Apologies for the slow reply. You can login to the Ninja Cloud at http://cloud.ninjablocks.com It is going to change a lot by the time you get your blocks. -pte

    Hi Stewart - I have your ninjablock on the desk as we speak, and it should go out Fedex either today or tomorrow.

    Hi Ic3man, We're unable to change the pledge amount after the project has come to an end on Kickstarter. You can however pay for missed shipping here: http://shop.ninjablocks.com/products/international-shipping As always if you have any questions or queries whatsoever, please don't hesitate to contact me on marcus@ninjablocks.com . Cheers, Marcus

    @pocketscience. Yup thats the point. That's why we do all the hard work for you :) You do not need to be VPN'd in. You just need to change the DNS, which can be done with an iOS configuration profile we generate. Cheers, Marcus
