I send you enough stuff to make the castle twice. This is A LOT of pieces. When they arrive you call me and we set up a time to come to your house. I bring with me snacks, beverages, and some surprise terrain. We spend the day building like mad hatters and then that night you invite your friends over and I DM a game for you. Only available to people in the lower 48 States. Though I would love to DM a game in England or Spain or somewhere like that, I can't pay for a plane ticket for only $350.00

"The new (almost as nice) Mother Load! You get the same amount of initial terrain as the previous Mother Load reward that was offered. The only difference is that when a new line comes out you decide if you want it or not. If you do, I ask that you pay the shipping. This is also available international as the shipping expense was the factor that limited the initial "Mother Load" reward level.

The Mother Load! I send you an incredible amount of terrain. Enough to make that castle a few times. Then, when the next line of terrain comes out, I send you that. For as long as Modest Magic is making terrain you get some of each new line. If all goes well, in a year you'll have so much of the stuff you'll be able to swim through it like Scrooge McDuck! You'll also get your name at the top of the Wall of Heroes in huge, awesome letters! Only available to people in the lower 48 States.
Estimated delivery: Jun 2012

I see the wisdom in banging out some low material cost items, and the price range does make it something of an impulse buy option for a store. Best of luck. (12m30s) http://youtu.be/eOW6XJq4B7U
Creator Nicholas Whitney on May 4
Thanks Kevin, I tend to forget to post on here as well as answering questions individually. You are correct about the tracking. I usually get email about a week before I ship to let the person know to expect the package and make sure that there haven't been any address changes or things like that.
Creator Kevin Watson on May 4
Latest update indicates that castles are about 50% shipped. My understanding is Nick emails before the package ships with some kind of tracking information. I have not received mine yet. When I do, I will confirm as much of this as I can.
Creator Bradley Eng-Kohn on May 3
How do we know if we are supposed to have received stuff? Do you email us when you ship?
Thanks!
Creator Chris Jhu on May 3
Any ETA when the remaining packages will ship? I only pledged for some wall sections, and haven't really followed enough to know when the delay will be over.
Creator Chris Detlef on April 22
What percentage of backers have received their stuff?
Creator Iain on March 18
Just got my 2 castles for backing from the post office today. Unboxed and started desprueing a bit of it. This is a hell of a lot of terrain guys. It's worth the wait now that I see it. I'll have some pictures up of my projects on his modest magics facebook page....... as soon as I nail down where to start with all this.
Creator Kevin Watson on March 6
Took delivery of the DM Apothecary Chest yesterday. It is amazing. Looking forward to showing it off at a local Con late this month, and at Origins in June.
Creator David Londono on March 3
Would it be possible to find out how many units have actually shipped? With things being over seven months overdue, it would give a somewhat tangible estimate on progress.
Creator Kevin Watson on February 28
Time flies when you are very busy. It is easy to let time get away when things are going well.
Creator Nicholas Whitney on February 27
Sure, not too much new stuff but I will shoot a update vid. Can't believe how fast the time goes!
Creator Kevin Watson on February 27
Nick, been almost a month since last update.
Could you let us know the status of your projects?
Creator Nicholas Whitney on January 31
Hey guys, I'll post an update either later today or tomorrow to address your questions. Thanks!
Creator Dave Wheeler on January 31
I still haven't received my parts yet either fellas, any ETA dude?
Creator David Londono on January 31
So I was wondering if anyone else was still waiting for a product. No castle here yet and we are past the six month time frame.
Creator Gary McBride on December 2
Packages have been sent out? I still have received nothing. Just curious if there is an ETA.
.
Thanks,
Gary McBride

Sure! The super secret awesome project is not ready yet but I got my delivery in today so I should have something to show in the next day or two.
Creator Kevin Watson on November 29
Nick, Any chance of a video update this week. I think everyone really enjoys them. If the secret project is not ready, a general state of the project, showing off all the product in various stages of heading out is always refreshing.
Creator Nicholas Whitney on November 21
@Nuri hey thanks man! I wonder why you haven't been getting the update emails? Thats odd. Anyway I'm glad that you are caught up I will be doing an update pretty soon showing you guys the new super secret project I mentioned in the last update. :-) I can't wait to get your feedback on it!
Creator Nuri on November 21
Man, I missed the updates, because i didn't get notice via email. The new stuff is awesome! And by awesome i mean reeeeeaaaaaallllllyyyyy awesome ^_^ I want it !
Creator Nuri on November 20
Hey Nicholas! How does Your shop look now? To see it in action cutting pieces over pieces would be so cool. And seeing as many of those parts on one heap as I will ever again would be awesome too =-)
Creator Nicholas Whitney on November 19
@Dave
Yes I will give you a tracking number when your kits ship. For those of you that are international I wont be able to provide tracking but I will give you confirmation that your stuff has shipped. If I have any questions on your specific reward then I will ask you prior to shipping. I appreciate your patience and I certainly understand the "itch to build" :-)
Creator Dave Wheeler on November 18, 2012
Is there anyway to find out if our packages have been sent? I still haven't got mine and I am itching to get building :D
Creator Daniel W. Cisek on November 14, 2012
Got my stuff today! Can't wait to dig into it. Thanks, Nick!
If you can, buy a set off the store, it will help Nick and you will get your reward faster.
Creator Virginie on October 28, 2012
Dear Nick,
Even after all the things that have happened unlike Kevin I am still glad to say I have backed your project. Many game studios who use kickstarter use it for every single line they come out with. Maybe you could release a line on kickstarter before it gets put in your store.
Creator RiTides on October 28, 2012
See my comment in the update. Message him directly, he worked with me, he will with you! I hope to have progress pics or even a completed table to show for our store Infinity league table (using the Alien terrain, which I got an extra set of and swapped for castle) by mid-late November. It's a big project, these sets are huge!
As I said before, buying another set gives MM funds for material to cut both your new and KS reward. If you really want it soon, that's how to do it, it's just practical at this point. More funds in = your sets out. For me, it was totally worth getting another set. I highly recommend that idea!
No matter what, message him directly through Kickstarter, he'll work with you. And the product is so worth it!
Creator KevinR on October 27, 2012
@Nick -- thanks for the update (#32). I'm glad to hear that you're making progress and that castles are shipping at a steady rate.
Creator KevinR on October 27, 2012
I'd hate to have to invoke...
Creator KevinR on October 27, 2012
Nick -- since it appears that you have started selling and shipping new products from your website, I think you owe us an update. Exactly how many of the 132 or so Kickstarter castles have shipped?
.
I'd have to have to invoke the Terms of Use, but at this point I feel I am not seeing anything like a good faith effort on your part.
Creator Dev Sodagar on October 2, 2012
Has anyone received their stuff yet?
Creator Jon Martindale on September 12, 2012
I too would like to know when we can expect castle pieces.
Creator Cerahbes on September 10, 2012
any updates Nick?
Creator Iain on September 6, 2012
How goes production of the castles Nick? Have they starting flying out the door?
Creator Nuri on August 14, 2012
This just oozes pure awesome! awesome!
Creator Erik Merchant on August 12, 2012
Woo Hoo, survey completed. I can hardly wait : )
Creator Iain on August 9, 2012
Update please.
Creator Virginie on August 2, 2012
When is the ET for the stuff to be shipped? As July is now over and I am just wondering when the Survey is going to be sent out.
Creator Iain on August 2, 2012
Hows the progress of the cutting coming along? The plotting problems got worked out, and vacuum bed is down?
Creator Nicholas Whitney on July 15, 2012
Today marks the first time I have cut something!!! Much more info in an update coming tomorrow with some video! Also, I talked to my web guy and he just had a baby three weeks ago so has been mostly unavailable but hopefully soon we can get something rolling on that forum.
Creator Iain on July 15, 2012
Is there an ETA on the forum as well?
Creator Kevin Watson on July 14, 2012
Update, please.
Creator Iain on July 11, 2012
How's the progress of cutting coming along Nicholas? I'd love to see this thing in action if you get a chance to throw together a video!
Creator Alessandro Arena-DeRosa on June 28, 2012
Agreed I'm interested to see this thing in action (or at least what it looks like)
Creator Kevin Watson on June 26, 2012
Might be due for a state of the project update. Could you update us, please?
Creator MIke Nutt on June 21, 2012
hope the new machine, and business will be all you want it to be :) awesome idea!
Any chance of releasing the survey data now its reached critical mass, or are you waiting to show us some previews of your ideas, on a related note, would be great to see some of what other people have designed with your CNC in mind! you need a forum! :)
I'm glad, being a (largely of course) one man how, that Nicolas seems to be focusing on getting stuff running, good man!
Creator Sean L. on June 16, 2012
Any updates, and did you get the new machine?
Creator Michael Russell on June 7, 2012
How goes anything? I anxiously await the information on shipping and the custom piece
Creator Kevin Watson on May 31, 2012
KS Surveys are an area for them to improve. Please keep us posted
Creator KevinR on May 26, 2012
@Nick -- waiting on the survey seems reasonable. Just from the base pledge levels, you know you need the router and enough material to make about 140 castles. The exact extras can wait until you have the machine humming smoothly.
.
(If you have the pledge amount and level for each backer, you could look to see if anyone has a huge amount added and contact them through Kickstarter.)
Creator Nicholas Whitney on May 26, 2012
The way it sits right now I'm planning on sending out the surveys once the product is close to being shipped. It appears that I only get one official KS survey so I want to make sure I don't waste it.
