I understand that Civility is taking time to be produced properly, but what about the Beginner Kit, when should we expect it?

EDIT (spelling): *"I'm the consumer not the producer..."

Creator Ryan Krol on March 22

@Matthew New, no I never have produced anything, so I don't know the intricate details of what going on in the engine of this machine that we are getting behind, so it would be acceptable for me to not know what I'm doing. However, the people on kickstarter are more often than not very familiar with this process and should have experience with delays and therefore take that into account before even starting the project. If you give a date you should endeavour to stick to it, and in my experience 100% of the kickstarters that I have backed haven't done this. Your metaphor just isn't relavant, do you want me to go down to their HQ and help out, just to get this thing out on time? I'm the consumer not the process this isn't my responsibility. Do you think that because other projects haven't adhered to the given estimation date that this then becomes acceptable when further projects follow suit? As a consumer you should be annoyed every time this happens, just because you have had a lot of experience with failings from project managers this doesn't mean you should grow accustomed to it! Diablo is completely unrelated, we didn't all put our money forward on the promise of a 2005 release for it to be delayed over and over again, do you honestly think that if we did, people would be "Oh don't worry, it's finally out now, I should just be grateful that the project manager actually got off of his arse and actually put out what he promised to all those years ago." Of course we wouldn't, there would be outrage and you know it. I shouldn't have to be thankful to receive something that I have paid money to receive, the absolute bare minimum that I am owed as a consumer is a working product that is delivered when stated by the producer, nothing more, nothing less.

It would be nice if all Kickstarts would keep commenting and/or giving updates after they fund. Adam was not a frequent updater before funding, but now stuff should be happening since the funds are in hand. It would be nice if we could be kept in the loop on what is happening behind the scenes every week or so. With news tidbits, at least we can feel like there is progress and a light at the end of the (perhaps very long) tunnel and not just some black hole down which we sent our funds.

Creator Jonathan Willemain on March 20

I just want to say I'm very happy this kickstarter went so well!! Also I totally respect and appreciate the fact that you are taking time to investigate the many production processes. I appreciate quality and I will happily wait as long as it takes to make the highest quality product become available.

Yes it can be dissapointing for some people to not have their expectations of a certain release date to be met but honestly you guys need to understand this is all for your benefit... rushing a product would not be in your best interest trust me.

Thank you for making the ultimate quality product available to me!!!! TYVM

Creator Matthew New on March 15

@ Ryan Krol and everyone else who whines about delays, clearly you have never produced anything, even in somewhat smaller quantity than this project. If you wish to know how it feels to drive the bus, then make steps to get behind the wheel.
Consider the fact that none of the projects you have backed have arrived by said date, why would you expect any future projects you invest in to be the one and only exception?
In my eyes a vast majority of projects have a fairly reasonable wait time, even if it is several months later. Months are nothing compared to the amount of time we had to wait for Diablo 3... around 10 years. Consider yourself lucky.

Thus I leave you with this: Why waste your time with worrying about when said product will arrive? Be happy and thankful when it does.

Creator Emil Brown on March 10

Having raised almost 7 times your stated goal, I'm sure producing 200 units was a complication you guys didn't foresee. While I'd love to have it now, I'm glad you're taking to time to give your backers a perfected, finished product, rather than a rushed disappointment. Civility requires patience. Go figure. ;-)

Creator Marcus Scott Johnson on March 9

I think that you guys are awesome and I'm looking forward to getting the best yo yo u can provide so take all the time you need to perfect it & keep up the good yo yoing :)

Creator Ryan Krol on March 8

I'm getting kind of sick of projects constantly being delayed. i don't think I've been involved in one that has actually arrived on time yet, most are at least one month late and it's just frustrating. There's nothing wrong with putting a later date on the kickstarter just in case you run into complications, if anything I'll just be pleasantly surprised when it arrives earlier if nothing went wrong, and I won't have known the difference if it's a month later than you wanted but you put the later estimation date. I'm sorry that I'm taking this out on you, it's just highly annoying that this keeps happening.

Creator GreenWhite on March 7

Really stoked for this. I hope you are all happily working towards products

Creator Alan Do on March 7

I'd also like an ETA on the first batch of throws.

Creator Lois Bolender on March 1

Just wondering when we should be getting contacted by for for colors and what not. I don't want to miss the email. Thanks.

Creator Matt Katch on February 12

you guys are awesome

Creator Matt Katch on February 11

would raw unanodized vs. the anodized version make any difference in terms of performance?

Creator Max Schwede on February 10

Is March a for sure?

Creator Max Schwede on February 7

I am so stoked to be backing this project!!!

Creator Matt Katch on February 3

ah, I missed the update in shipping cost; I pledged the $9 over for international shipping, but if I want it shipped internationally, now, what do I need to pledge over?

also, there weren't that many stats about the yo-yo posted and I was just curious if it was going to be non-responsive, what size bearings, and so-on.... I'm not an expert or anything -- in fact I wanted to get back into yo-yo after a long stint away because you guys make rope-riding look so cool -- but I was curious anyway

Creator Andreas G. Nie on January 30

Interesting project, hence my full backing support. Have you considered dropping the extra $12 for US-outsiders now that you've overreached your goal by 500% already?

Creator Patrick Falle on January 15

Just bought the Civility Yo Yo with all the extras. Cant wait to try this out. Its really a beautiful design. I would love to get a wooden Yo Yo also. are you planning on creating a stretch goal for backers?

Creator Zdenek Kraus on January 15

I know it's too soon, but will be possible to choose an anodizing color?
