Update #23: Production Status Update #4
OK, we know we said the next update will be when the games are on the boat but it would appear no one can wait that long :-)
We finally received "confirmation" that the game will be finished production somewhere between May 20 and May 27. Then, the games will go on a boat and shipping times from Hong Kong to LAX and MLB (mini land bridge) to Atlanta will take APPROXIMATELY 20 days. However, we then need to add a few days for the fact the game will not be on a boat immediately upon completion of production, unloading the container in Atlanta and then delivery to our warehouse in Norcross. Also, unanticipated incidents such as random inspections can delay things a few days.
Unfortunately, this means you will not get the game by June 6 but June is very likely.
On another note, the factory has informed us that this project has been more labour intensive than originally anticipated :-) A year's worth of expansions, limited edition items and consolidation of items from other manufacturers made for a lot of collating and non-generic packaging. This does not affect the above date but did play a role in the game taking this long to get done. Just an FYI really.
Anyways, we will still update all of you once the boat leaves Hong Kong and sincerely thank all of you for your support and patience.
Update #22: Production Status Update #3
The first copy has arrived! If you are an Officer, General, Field Marshal, General of the Army or Commander in Chief donator, you will get ALL of this in the mail (and a bit more since the dice pouches aren't in this picture AND multiples of all this if you are to receive multiple copies). For those of you that did not manage to get in on these levels, all this will be available for purchase in time from either your FLGS or our website.
Update #21: Production Status Update #2
We were at that point of time in a print run where all that was happening was the game being printed. Until all the games, expansions and goodies get boxed up and put into a container there is not normally much to say.
However, we just got the images for the dice pouches and they look really great (see below). These are the final colors now as I have replaced the earlier picture that showed just two colors.
A summary of where we are at;
1. The canvas bags are on a boat.
2. The tins and the dice pouches will be put on a boat within the week.
3. The printed game components are still in progress.

I meant what's all the items I am getting for the $35 level besides these bags?

@ Jay Huang: The base game + Distinguished Service Pack+ The 4 dice pouches+ all Stretch goals. It does tell you on the main page, and on the side bar.

Update #20: D-Day Dice card count
We just had a request by a supporter for the card sizes and total card count for all the expansions being published to date so they know how many cards sleeves to buy so they're ready to go when the game arrives. I figured there might be others out there that would find this information useful as well so here you go;
The cards will be 43 x 67 mm
Card count will be as follows;
Commission Pack (which is the public version of the Kickstarter exclusive cards) - 16
This brings the grand total to 265 cards.

These are not an exact match but are surely close enough. Too bad they are for standard size cards only. http://store.fantasyflightgames.com/productdetails.cfm…

There's a good shot that Mayday Mini Chimera sleeves will do the trick. I'll try them when I get the game!

Update #19: Production Status Update
We have no official date for now. Although we must admit that the Kickstarter hoopla did nothing to quicken things (a lot of time was spent collating names for the rulebooks, etc...).
Will the game come out in March? Unfortunately, this is unlikely, and April might be a stretch.
Here are some specific details though;
1. All game material is at the printer, final proofs have been
generated. Emmanuel and I will do a last confirmation of the files
tomorrow or Tuesday.
2. Proofs of the tins arrived and they look
GREAT! I will send one of them to Emmanuel for his approval and then
he will take pictures and post.
3. Most dice have been approved.
Took a few tweaks on colors and Pantones and now we are just waiting on one last proof of the "Bloody" dice. (Interesting fact; there will be just over 400,000 dice manufactured for this project.)
4. All the rules cards for the MGF dice are printed and sitting at the warehouse.
5. All the numbered "Thank You" cards that Emmanuel himself will be signing are enroute to the warehouse.
6. Messenger bags should be completed within the first week of February and sitting in the warehouse by early March.
Final timeline I cannot quite confirm as we are still on Chinese New Year and it always takes about a week to get everything up to full speed again afterwards.
I will post more updates as they occur.
