Update #61: End of the Line, the last Tatooine watches

Posted on May 20

Its Official: Its the end of the line for Tatooine Sand Watches and we have just 12 watches left over. We are making our LAST run of 67 new B dial (full graphics) watches. 55 are spoken for, they are for everyone on the "problem and lost bin" list and the 501st list. However, if anyone wants one of the 12 additional B dial watches at Kickstarter pricing ($107), let me know. I HAVE to get the engraving information to the factory on Monday, so let me know tonight or tomorrow: thinkyoungdesign@gmail.com.

      I still need a exchange because I've not receive the dial I ordered. I could prepare the mail to send you back the watch as soon as you gave me the address where you're established.

Update #60: Favor please?

Posted on May 19

Hello Saviours!

Could anyone who hasn't received their t-shirt and certificate, please let me know?

We sent out a few this week so a few are still on their way.  That being said, let me know if you are still waiting for your t-shirt and certificate (or just certificate), so I can double check our records.

I will have an update on final watch production next week.

Best, Thomas

      Hello there! I live in NC, and first off, let me tell you that this is by far the best purchase I have ever made. I absolutely love the watch! I have the full front with the writing, the rocketship and the homestead. I have not yet received my t shirt and certificate. I think I'm supposed to get them, and if I am, I think I said XL for the shirt (although an XL certificate would be kind of cool!). Again, thanks again, and I look forward to a response.

      Ryan, I'm glad you like the watch! Thanks. On the T-shirt and certificate, my records show that your signed up just for one watch? If I am wrong, let me know!

Update #59: Getting Close...

Posted on May 2
Quick Update on Lars Merchandise. 


T-SHIRTS:  All T-Shirts have been shipped. There are a few extras but I want to wait a little while before I offer those to everyone just in case there are some size issues with the ones already shipped.

SAND WATCHES: I am still waiting for the shipment of Sand Capsules from the factory so I can fill them. (They have been shipped to me from the Factory). Once I get those filled and back to the factory, all the "lost and problem" watches will be made. 

CANVAS WATCH STRAPS:  Last item is about a dozen people are waiting for canvas bands for their Premium Watches. I will have those soon. 

Best, Thomas

PS The attached image of the new proposed "eco light saber" just doesn't seem to have the same punch as the original powerful laser versions, IMHO.

Update #57: Quick update about Kickstarter Lars Merchandise

Posted on April 13
Update for everyone about Kickstarter Lars Merchandise.

1) The new display capsules for the watches are on their way to me for filling with Tattoine Sand. When they are done, its back to the factory for assembly and then the second batch of Tatooine Sand watches will ship to everyone that got the wrong dial model, mistakes on the engraving and other screwups on our part.


2) The certificates are signed by Mark (Dermul) and sitting here ready to go.

3) I have been bumped several times on the T-shirts by the printer. I really wanted to be shipping the certs and t-shirts this week but I don't have t-shirts yet. Very frustrating! They tell me they will be printed next Weds now. Sorry.

If anyone has any questions, as always shoot me an email.

Attached is a weather graphic for the Lars Homestead this week.

Best, Thomas
