Hope you've had a nice autumn so far, and happy Halloween!
We've alluded to some months where we don't have any big updates, and this is one of them. But we did manage to get an early picture of the pre-production copy (PPC) tray! Have a look:
The tray now has appropriate space for player mats so they won't be sliding around everywhere in the box anymore.
For The Big Squeeze production, we were aiming for October to be the month where we receive and approve the PPC. But when drawing out our expected timelines back in April, we hadn't scoped in our manufacturer's Golden Week holiday for our projections. This, along with some marking adjustments, meant our PPC was bottlenecked longer than expected. But progress is still moving forward, and there are currently no problems in the way!
Once the PPC arrives, I'll be looking over it to make sure all components are as expected. If it all looks good, we'll be able to complete the final approval process and then enter mass production.
Because the PPC has been pushed to end of October, we've lost some of our safety net that we allocate for unexpected delays. To be clear, fulfillment is still expected to be on time — this is exactly what these buffers are for! — but if another delay occurs (e.g. the PPC highlights a production issue that we need to fix before manufacturing) your fulfillment may be pushed back a few weeks. As usual, we'll continue monthly updates either way so there's no surprises.
Currently, if things line up appropriately, we're still looking at roughly the same shipping timeline if the rest of manufacturing and shipping line up as planned. Once the PPC actually arrives, I'll post another update so you can see how it looks in more detail!
