Is the price still set at 75? How exactly are they going to get dispersed? And thanks for all the work you're doing for all of us!

Trust me, I know how you feel. I haven't received a reply from Russ about the run since Feb. I've tried my best to keep this moving, keep everyone on board and answer all the questions I can, but in all honesty, I'm not sure what's going on anymore. I'm still hoping for the best though...

I wonder if anyone else could tackle the project if Russ ends up not being able to fit it in.

I think it will happen, but I genuinely have no idea of when anymore. Last I heard there were 60 plates that were supposed to be arriving at Russ's workshop and that was back in Feb. I haven't received any response to my e-mails to him about the status of the run and Russ hasn't logged into the RPF since Jan 21st either.
In my last e-mail, I did mention that we still have a lot of people interested but there's the big risk of people dropping off from the delays and lack of updates. However, without any reply from Russ about things, I don't have the foggiest idea of where we stand. So I guess we're still stuck in this holding pattern. Just do what I do: Focus on other projects and if/when this comes around, it'll be a nice surprise.

Just wanted to thank you for all your hard work in your efforts to make this mission of ours a reality. You are the best!
However I have to wonder if this guy is still alive. Geeeeeez he might have died.
Maybe someone needs to check this out. Go do a wellness check.
Just kidding!

Hey all,
Honestly, all I can tell you is what I know myself. Russ has been completely off grid since February and hasn't responded to any e-mails or messages. As Schlitzie mentioned, he still hasn't been on the RPF since late January. I don't know if he's tied up with work, if something happened to him, or if he's even still active in the industry. (If anyone has had any contact with him about unrelated things, it would at least be helpful to know if he's returning anybody's messages at all.)
With that said, I spoke with Joatrash and he's going to try to offer a 3D printed plastic version for those who want an alternative option. If that interests you, I would suggest you check it out.

I have two plates from a previous run. Awesome quality. Hope all is well with Russ. Has anyone attempted to make a replica of the mini version qmx made? Id be interested in making one for my son. Ive just ordered a toy that could make this a functional farnsworth. Spygear audio video walkie talkies. Ill let you know what they will fit in.
