Right now I'm on Oct/Nov 2017 orders. I just printed labels yesterday up to Jan 2018.
Dec & Jan months are VERY order "heavy".
I'm sorry this is taking longer than I thought, but I am shipping everyday. Including keeping up with regular orders.
I'm getting there. I'm getting there.

I'm just finishing up April 2017 orders today. This is the last order "heavy" month from the pre-orders.
So I should be able to be completely caught up by this coming weekend. Thank you for your patience.

MPP's are now shipping! Matter of fact, some people will receive theirs today!
Overall this finish is some if the best quality I have ever seen. These are beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous! This is not to say they are perfect. Do not expect perfection, but I have yet to find any real flaws. So the scratch & dent sales don't look good for these MPPs.
That being said, the B-Port greeblies are press-fit, and out of the 100 or so I've inspected only 2 greeblies were loose. I just opened them up a bit with a tiny flat head and pressed them back in. Doesn't seem to be an issue, but still be careful you don't lose yours.
I should have all these shipped it within 2 weeks. Thanks to everyone that jumped in on this project, and thank you so much for your patience.

Okay Guys,
Heard from the shop and it's not terrible news, but they are running behind.
They said they could try and rush them out before Chinese New Year, but were hoping I would give them until the end of February. Even though I really want to start shipping these... I didn't really want them to "rush" the product out... so I told them late February was fine.
I hope everyone is okay with this. I'm very sorry, but I figured it would be best to wait a bit longer and avoid compromising any quality right at the finish line.

Hey Guys,
The shop is expecting to ship these very soon. Last week they said soon after Christmas, so should be very soon. Will update as soon as I get a shipping notice.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :cheers

http://romanprops.com/product-category/mpp/
- I am offering two MPPs.
One with SILVER sidebars for ANH
One with BLACK sidebars for ESB/ROTJ
- TOOLING will take 6-8 weeks. Please order SOONER than later, so I can adjust the order accordingly once the tooling is complete.
Thanks to @teecrooz for lending all of us his ORIGINAL MPP!!!
***NOTE : Sign-up only if you are seriously interested. It's okay to change your mind BEFORE the purchase. However...
- Once time comes to make the purchase, and you actually make the purchase, please follow through on that commitment.
- Please do NOT ask for a refund. You are more than welcome to sell your flashgun once you have received it.
- If you are not sure about your financial situation... do NOT make the purchase.

Hey Guys,
The quote came in for the MPP and it is doable *IF* there is a good pre-order list. Reason being, is that the upfront TOOLING cost is astronomical!! I could buy a car!!!
1) This will be made by my "Summer Clamp" shop. So the quality will be there.
2) This will NOT be a working Flashgun
3) The ETA is excellent, but I'm going to keep that to myself (just in case). I'll say that these will definitely be in your hand in time for Episode VIII.
Pre-order price - $185 + shipping
So who would be SERIOUSLY interested in an MPP?
