Hi everyone,

After the Chinese New Year, the factory was slow in its response to us, and when they finally did get back to us, they came back with a higher price than originally quoted. Moving forward with mass production with this factory was going to cost us an extra $14,000, which wasn't an option for us. So instead of downgrading the product and moving forward with them, we spoke with some of our other factories whom we partner with (we work with several factories for different games and different products), and we are moving forward with a different manufacturer who is able to produce it at a more affordable price. Of course we want to ensure that the quality is up to our standards, so we are in the process of ensuring that with the factory by having them make us a new sample.

We apologize for the delay in communication while we figured this out. It's been an interesting and challenging year, and factories in China are having to adapt for their own survival as well as they get hit with higher costs and also lose many of their own regular customers who weren't able to persist in the current economic landscape.

Thank you all so much for your patience. We are truly excited for this to be released and we know you're all going to love it!
