Is there a new ETA?

Creator Frank Garriel 4 days ago

@Jerad, Hopefully they actually did it and didn't just say they did it. Looking forward to seeing the first shipments!

Creator Jerad Clark 5 days ago

@Frank, maybe you missed it (?) but the last updated said that 492,000 covers were completed. While most of the updates prior, seemed like no-progress, the new update actually seems like a bit of news.... that something is in progress. FYI.

@Jordan, just click the "Contact me" link under Tim's picture on the right side of the page.

I think I am just not looking hard enough, but how to I message you regarding an address change?

Creator Frank Garriel 6 days ago

I'm concerned that someone along the manufacturing way may have duped Tim out of the cash. Tim, do you have any safeguards in place so that you don't get ripped off? The repeated no-progress updates worry me.

Creator Ellis Carle on May 13

@Joel Johnson Hi, check the FAQ at the bottom of the front page. Rewards that say you will get 59 Hexels will actually receive 63.

Creator Joel Johnson on May 13

Hey all, the new Explorers and Pirates (E&P) expansion to the Settlers of Catan series plays on a 9x7 hex board. That means you can play the fully-loaded E&P game with 63 hexes. Tim Walsh says that once he is done with doing his initial kickstarter obligated runs, he should be able to take orders for additional hex pieces--especially, for those of you that would like to play this wonderful new expansion to the CATAN universe.

Creator Ken Andrews on May 9

I saw the update video and have a couple of questions about the Hexels.
.
First, now that they don't have the cross-pieces as per the earlier design, are they still as structurally stable?
.
Second, do they hold the game hexes firmly enough that they can be turned upside down and still stay in the Hexel? We normally build our board by turning the pieces over, shuffling them, then put them in place.

Creator Nan-Hsun Han on May 6

@Stefan, since the survey was sent out quite some time ago I'm assuming that the survey has already expired.

Tim has asked backers to message him with any address changes and I would assume that you should directly message him with your address.

Creator Stefan Rusek on May 4

I click the link in the "please respond" email and it takes me to the main page, instead of the survey. How do I give you my address so when they ship I can get them?

Creator Terry Bailey Sr on May 1

2166 investors in this enterprise. I bet most of them would like an update.

Creator Wayne Clutterbuck on April 29

Can we please have an update on the expected delivery of the hexels. It has now been over 3 months since the original delivery date has passed.

Creator Jordan Guter on April 23

How do we go about getting these ports now with this kickstarter?

Creator Paul Crick on April 22

Thanks for the great video update and for sharing the good news with us! And the samples looked GREAT.

Has the manufacturer given you any updates on the production timeline?

Creator Jerad Clark on April 22

@ Lida - Where do you see that? I do not.

Creator Lida Abbie Cheung on April 22

This page said "This project is not live". What does it means?

Creator Terry Bailey Sr on April 19

Ok it has been 8 days since last update. Can we get a heads up on what is going on? We investors are curious.

Creator Amar Shah on April 16

Tim, got the first update, how about for Delivery Update?

Creator Sean Howard on April 12

Any chance we can get the updated 3d models?

Creator Emily Shaw on April 8

What is the new estimated date for delivery?

Creator Frank Garriel on April 4

Thanks Terry. Only the best men are doing it. Tomorrow is 2 weeks since the last update. Can we get a progress report, preferably with some pics?

Creator Matt Dilley on April 4

Been awhile since our last update?

Creator Blaine P Weyrauch on April 3

What kind of magnets are you using?

Creator Terry Bailey Sr on March 29

Nice haircut Frank.

Creator Mike Marx on March 26

Is there any info about recommended magnets to use for those of us 3d printing our own? I thought I remembered seeing something at one time, but I cannot seem to find it anymore.

Or do any 3d printers have success/failure stories to share on the magnets you have tried to use? Balls? Cylinders?

Thanks!

Creator Frank Garriel on March 25

Bummer about the date push back. I was looking forward to getting them for Int'l Tabletop Day on Saturday.

Creator Jonathan Hillis on March 22

Hey Tim, I was wondering if you could maybe take some pics of some of the process that is going on? Maybe some stock metal? Anything to give us backers a idea of whats going on and some of the process's involved.
Thanks man!

Creator David Rager on March 22

It's ok Tim. My family is glad they are coming!

Creator Jerad Clark on March 21

And update about an upcoming update, I like it! ;)

Creator Aaron Lococo on March 21

We are getting into late March, are things still looking to be on track to ship soon?

Creator Amar Shah on March 11

@Tim, Did you receive my address change? Any updates?

Creator Jerad Clark on March 6

@Sean, pretty sure it's been stated this batch is black.

Creator Sean Howard on March 5

Did we decide the color?

Creator Ken Andrews on February 28

@Dakota - I'd be more than willing to help. Just lemme send you my shipping address....

Creator Dakota J. Gates on February 28

I'm going to be moving before this ships, is there anyway I can change where this get shipped to?

Creator Paul Crick on February 27

Are you sure that delivery by late-March/early-April is still feasible?

- it took over a month since the project was funded and the mold is just now being created
- per an earlier update, you have 80k units to produce

Doing some quick math, if the mold is created by March 1st, the manufacturer would need to produce ~27k units a week for the following three weeks (March 4th through the 22nd), and the fulfillment team would need to box and ship all of the orders by March 31st in order to have all the shipments delivered in 7-10 business days. And this would put you at the outside of your 'early April' estimate.

That schedule seems tight, but possible if there are no hiccups. I am excited for the Hexels, but I would just like to make sure we have realistic goals re: the delivery.

Creator Amar Shah on February 27

Any updates Tim? Its been two weeks since the last "update" and over 3 weeks since funds cleared and you placed the manufacturing order. Please let us know the status, good or bad. Thanks

Creator Theodore Lindsey on February 24

Is the fulfillment date estimate in the 2nd to last update still pretty spot? How's the process looking?

Creator Sean Howard on February 5

what color did we decide?

Creator Bynum on February 3

Looking forward to it - thanks!
