Morning Everyone.

Apologies for the air of silence this past fortnight. I've just been busy carrying out shipping orders.

In Total 75% of Orders have now been fulfilled.
I'm continuing to ship daily with a big push to complete this over the next 3 weeks.

As mentioned previously this has been a huge task and one that I quite frankly underestimated!

With 002, plans are already in place to rectify shipping times and for them to be shipped as a whole over the course of a two week period.
I'm anticipating 002 to be a bigger draw then 001 so to have plans such as these in place prior to pre order are essential in my opinion.

I'd just like to touch on feedback I've received from you in regards to the sets.
I want to thank you all for the kind praise you have shown towards this release, it's been overwhelmingly positive which I'm so grateful for and I'm pleased you like the first edition. We will continue to grow with each release and will look for collectors feedback with each set.

I've received a lot of comments thanking us for the constant updates from start to finish with this release and I'm really pleased these have been welcomed and helpful to those that have ordered, this isn't a one time thing, you can expect this level of service with each release going forward.

002.

I can't discuss too much at present unfortunately, although it's been verbally agreed/approved the contract has not been drawn and signed so I'm reluctant to jump the gun and state what's next.
I can confirm September is the date I've been given so far for everything to be completed legally, I will then announce the title and proceed with the designing of the complete product.

The plan for 002 is to have a limited number of OC’s as well as standard slips.
2 x XL slips (one exclusive to the OC) and a S&S slip or a ¼ slip will complete the set. (ill be asking for feedback if i should keep the S&S or revert to a ¼ slip instead)

It's possible a retailer will take the S&S title this time but that's not 100% confirmed as yet.

This will be under a new studio. A relationship has been built over the past 5 months with this pending release and if this does well then there is an opportunity to continue this relationship which I'm very excited for.

Lastly I thought I'd do something different and offer a “lone survivor update via numbers so far”

  • 75% of all orders shipped
  • I've sent out only two replacement steels! (manufacturing issues not packing)
  • Every order has been individually put together/wrapped & packed by myself.
  • Only one slip replacement has been sent out!
  • The busiest single website day since it opened was Restock day!
  • We have shipped to 32 different countries!
  • Most website traffic has come directly via a link or Google.
  • Most traffic from a single website has come from Hi-def Ninja! (Thank you)


Hope that was something different for you all to read, i know that isn't the norm but thought i'd share a few bits to you all.

74 copies of S&S left in total :)

Thanks again for all your patience!

Dan
As always. Appreciate the updates.
Looking forward to 002.

My copy was delivered this morning (according to RM), checked on their site and saw this lovely picture.
Luckily, it went to friend across the street and it certainly was not where the picture said it was :shipped:

Anyway, really happy with the set, I couldn’t really appreciate the FS art until seeing it in hand. The SB is really nice as well, overall and excellent job done by @AstroC13
I remember EB’s first release and it was not great but they got better, I can only imagine how good Dan’s are going to get.

Me too...
Hi, Those of you that have sent me a pm I've replied with an update.

Those that haven't please send me a message and i can personally give you an update on your orders.

I have historically used my FB update posts and copied them here but i didn't want to keep spamming this thread so apologize ill continue to do that so you are all informed.

Huge task for just myself, one that was very much underestimated, as ive mentioned before 002 will go much smoother on release in terms of shipping.

overall im not disappointed in how its gone this time round (although could have been a lot quicker) but coms have been regular, replies have been quick and products are in customers hands .

Thanks again for bearing with me.
 
Hi Everyone, for those that have contacted via pm and I've advised there's will be shipping this week, they are done and packed ready to go but Royal website isnt allowing payments due to issues yesterday/today so i cant grab the shipping label's.

If its not resolved by Monday AM then ill take them all to the post office and do it manually

thanks again as always

Dan

I've also been having issues with their site, as you know. Typical that it's when I finally decide to start selling stuff lol. Fingers crossed it's back up and running properly by next week.

I've had this for a month or so, but now having got some time to take detailed pictures, I thought I'd show some love to the Lone Survivor XL set. Undeniably, a fantastic debut release from @AstroC13 with all round superb quality production, materials, customer service. No doubt it's been tough to launch but congratulations on a job well done. I'm sure everyone who supported and picked up either version, were extremely happy with the final results.
Any hints on the next title? :LOL:
