Here is the e-mail I just sent to all pre-order customers:
First I would like to say THANK YOU for your pre-order and support of this project.
I wish I was sending you this message to tell you the product is ready, but that is not the case. We expected a March 8th release based on information we were given by the factory. We have now been informed that there was a defect in the mould and it will have to be sent back to the foundry for repair. This was a disheartening development as we were so VERY close!
We have now been informed that Production will begin in 60 days. The only good news in regards to this delay, is that it seems the Germany COMBAT UNITS will also be ready around the same time. If this is the case, I will contact so you can choose to get this product as well and pay only one shipping fee.
Once again, I would like to thank you for your patience on this pre-order. This project would not be possible without the support we have received from the greater AAA Community.
I will contact you once again as more information is provided to me by the factory.
