Deal.

Now you have me super excited for the possibility of that trade. It is the single mini that I regret the most for not picking it up.

As for the shipments, they are done for the day. I guess they decided to work a double crew instead of two different shifts. They were shooting for 1500 orders shipped a day on average. Today they shipped 1188 orders (over 6000 line items) today.

And yes, we are currently working on domestic shipments with 5 line items. We had a snag with the Canadian shipments, that's why we switched back. UPS is working on helping us fix the problem (software related) and then we'll finish processing Canada. We are printing 1500 orders at a time, so when we finish this batch tomorrow, if the Canadian orders are unable to go back in the queue, there is some talk about doing a 1500 run of orders outside the USA and Canada next. Of course, that will take us back to orders with one item first. ;-) We'll see what happens. Yes a Vampire counts as 1 item. Orders with 5 items will be either 5 different items or any combination of multiple things that add up to 5 items. So, if all you got was 5 Vampires, then you will be in the 5 items group.

We were going to run two shifts but we found it was better to have everyone work one shift and double up the various stations. We will get just as much done in our normal workday and not have to run two shifts.

I hope they aren't pushing themselves too hard. I'd rather they take their time to make sure all the orders are filled properly.

Counter is moving again, 200 more out already today.

It looks like they shipped 745 orders today (1188 yesterday), but that includes a decent chunk of the largest Canadian orders. I guess the computer messed up and spit out the most complex first and it took them a while to fix it.

Not sure if others saw, but the image they put up during the downtime this weekend is priceless:

I am so jealous of you guys right now. Timman, I was serious about the Kaly. Let me know. Someone posted these pics today). Make sure that you two post pics of your stuff. I have a spreadsheet with pics/name and some other info for when mine arrives so that I can check off what I have versus what I am suppose to get. Let me know if that sounds useful to you and I can email it or something.

(Also, The Rift is cool too)

That's great. What is a robo-buddy? Does it cut the pieces out for you or something? BTW, those pictures you linked showing the Kaladrax did not help the trade lol. It looks awesome!

I have a Silhouette SD model of the cutter. It is designed with scrapbookers in mind and meant for cutting out shapes for them (like a much better version of a Cricut Cutter). Not cheap, but it works great!

As for the model, you will end up seeing it anyway and so there is no point hiding how cool it is. I don't want to swindle you. On the other hand, I would definitely love to have it on my shelf instead of yours. I will even let you pick the colors that I paint it :)

I have never put it all on the table at the same time. I am not sure that it would fit. Thematically, I would have a difficult time using it simultaneously (I have two pirate ships, a castle, city terrain, forest terrain, western terrain, building terrain, sewer terrain, dungeon terrain and other stuff that I am sure that I am forgetting). I have been building the stuff off and on for 5+ years.

I am pretty sure this is the same spreadsheet that I found a few days ago.

@Craig McClung: UPS came back and said we had to redo everything for Canada. Rather than lose a day, we are working the current book of US orders. We will reset Canadian orders tonight after hours and be ready to pull that trigger tomorrow.
I'm really sorry, and please know we are doing everything we can to do this so there's no screw ups.
Also, orders escalate quickly from here. Before 5 lines or 6 lines took over a day. The next US book of 1500 orders starts partway through 8 items, and closes out 9 and 10, and begins 11!
Rest Of World Book currently scheduled for Thursday if nothing else goes kablooie.

Shouldn't be too painful. We've been waiting a year already :)

All my goodies. Look how big that Kaladrax box is compared to the others!

I put the big ones together. Kaladrax is huge. Check out Mr. Bones next to him. The Red Dragon looks like a tiny child. Cthulu is bigger than I thought he would be.
