The remaining orders are being prepped to ship and we expect that all orders we can fill will be completed by 6/26. We have some inventory of the Omnibus hardcovers coming in from our distribution partner to help us get through the final orders ASAP. As packages are completed, tracking numbers are also being circulated via email so the remaining backers can look out for the incoming packages. We're taking extra care with packaging to ensure that everything arrives in pristine condition to add to your collections.
If anyone has a problem with your shipment - something missing - something damaged - or lost packages - please reach out to us at [email protected] for assistance.
We are excited for the last packages to get out to everyone and for all of the Thundercats fans to get to enjoy these books this summer. Thank you again for your support and your patience.
The remaining orders are customers that ordered one or more of the backlist trade paperbacks for Thundercats or Cheetara. As some may know - most publishers were affected by the Diamond Comic Distributors bankruptcy in which all of our existing inventory has been frozen and wrapped up in legal proceedings for over a year at this point. No one has access to it in any market as this issue works its way through the courts. To fill orders those books we moved our printing to a domestic press in the US who promised us they could get new editions out quickly. Unfortunately what has happened is a long and frustrating series of problems with the new printer that has pushed our receipt of new stock much further than anyone could have predicted. At this point - we have moved printing to a different printer because of the delays and they have promised us the books will ship from their factory by the end of next week 6/12.
As soon as we receive those books, we have the remaining orders of this campaign flagged as the highest priority to fill.
We will post another update here between now and 6/12 to confirm if the books have shipped to us and what the expected fulfillment time would be for these last orders to ship. We apologize that this has lingered on as long as it has. The situation has been out of our control but we have moved printers and started working with new suppliers to try to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Our warehouse team has started prepping the labels and has the books so they can ship out as many as possible as soon as the boxes are in our hands this week. When we have them and can confirm shipping has re-started we'll post another update advising everyone to watch for the USPS tracking information which should appear in your email (please always check your spam and junk in case they get caught in those filters).
Our expectation is that a large chunk of the remaining orders will be in the mail within a week. Whatever is still pending at that point we will advise on their ETA.
We still have 97 backers who have not yet completed the survey and shipping information. If you have not done so - please go to this link and complete your information. We'll be sure to get your order on the next wave of shipping.

If anyone is missing anything in your shipment, had any damages to your books, or something wasn't right about your order - please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can help resolve the issue.
Some orders are pending for backers that ordered a combination of the Thundercats Volume 1 and 2 (new series from Dynamite) and the Cheetera trade paperbacks. We are working to resolve this and will be updating soon.
We are working to get as much of the books shipped out as soon as possible and we apologize that it is moving a little slower than we hoped for some orders. We will continue to update everyone as quickly as we can with your order status.
We'll keep you updated on our progress and we're excited to start hearing from backers who receive their books this week. We think you are going to love these books!
We'd like to remind everyone who has not yet filled out your surveys to please do so. As of right now - we still have 141 unanswered surveys. Here is the direct link you want to recover it and get your address squared away:

Now...for something very exciting! We just launched our first ever Thundercats & Friends Mystery Bag project on Kickstarter! This program is incredible and it includes exclusive holofoil and metal editions not available anywhere else in each bag. We also have 8 brand new - never before seen - homage cover comics exclusive to this bag. These special covers recreate pivotal moments in comics with your favorite WB comics including Thundercats, Space Ghost, Captain Planet, Silverhawks, Jonny Quest, Powerpuff Girls, Herculoids, and Space Quest (the Space Ghost / Jonny Quest crossover)! Each bag also has a blank sketch cover comic (or some lucky fans will receive blanks with hand drawn sketches on them) plus a buy back issue signed and stamped by Dynamite's publisher, and a super rare ashcan edition comic. The floor value of these bags is $200 and the ceiling ones are much higher. Check it out while you can - its a short run project that's only open for two weeks!

I got my shipping confirmation this weekend and am set to receive my items on Wednesday the 17th. I’ll let folks know what the shipping situation looks like when it arrives but this is the first sign of something working the way it’s supposed to since starting on this odyssey. I hope everyone whose left waiting is beginning to get these notifications- especially our international friends, I know of they’ve had some of the most consternation about this continuing situation. Best of luck to everyone, updates coming soon.

I’m not satisfied by the absenteeism of Dynamite with this entire thing, but I’m happy that my journey is finally coming to an end… I received the email today saying that my order was packed and delivery is set for Tuesday the 16th. I hope everyone else is receiving their shipping notices. Shame we’ve all been soured by this, but the headache is finally almost over.
Project Update: Thundercats Remaining Orders & Backlist Inventory Status    
The remaining orders are customers that ordered one or more of the backlist trade paperbacks for Thundercats or Cheetara. As some may know - most publishers were affected by the Diamond Comic Distributors bankruptcy in which all of our existing inventory has been frozen and wrapped up in legal proceedings for over a year at this point. No one has access to it in any market as this issue works its way through the courts. To fill orders those books we moved our printing to a domestic press in the US who promised us they could get new editions out quickly.

As per Amy's post, I've just messaged Backer Support and then emailed both [email protected] and [email protected] with my complaints about the failure to fulfil this project. What absolutely enrages me the most, past all the various excuses and extended silences is that I've visited comic stores and bookshops in the UK multiple times this year and could have physically picked up all of them off the shelves months ago. I can literally go on Amazon right now and have them here with free delivery within a week, some of them tomorrow morning (and it's just before 11pm as I'm typing). Stupid me wanted to support creators and get some of the stretch goal items if it reached that far, but I've stated in my email that I will never, ever back another Dynamite project and I'm also doubtful whether i would purchase any Dynamite books at all going forward. If I'd received everything within a reasonable timescale, you can bet that I'd be absolutely be purchasing the new Volume 3 on release and considering ThunderHawks when it gets collected. As it is, I have no further interest in obtaining those now. I think the only reasonable things for Dynamite to do now are: A) Complete shipping of EVERY outstanding backer where the survey has been completed within the next 10 days. or B) Refund everyone who is still waiting and never raise any future crowd funding projects. If they do wish to restore any spark of goodwill that might remain with us then they need to do A) but also go the extra mile in apologising and compensating us all for the poor service: 1) Refund all shipping costs and send our outstanding items at their expense. or 2) Include Volume 3 and Thundercats: Lost TPB's free of charge (sent separately so they can't use it as another reason for delays)
