Limited Run New prototype run for Superman crystals, Payments due!

Hey guys, curious how everyone is displaying them. I have mine just sitting flat on a counter, not impressed. Wanted to see what other ideas were out there. Thanks.

That looks great, nice table top display. Get some LEDs under that and it'll really come to life. I built a segment of the fortress controll panel to display my crystals in.

Hey

I'm going to see if we can add a few since, but I just shipped out the wooden version of the crystal to the factory, and it'll take about ~2 weeks to get there. From there they can see if they can make it or not.

Realized I hadn't updated in a bit, and figured you guys would appreciate an update on the project.

I'll know if I can add some to the order as soon as they get the prototype piece in, so I'll keep you guys updated on that. Beautiful displays as well!!!!

Hydin. I'd be interested in your next run if you can drop a line when it's coming up. I also sent you a private message. Thanks in advance!
 
Any new updates hydin? I’ve been following the progress on this thread and can’t wait to see the final result!
 
Hey guys

Unfortunately, no real update at the moment. The factory is still closed down from the lunar holiday due to the viral outbreak there, so it's basically just a waiting game. I was told by both factories that last they heard, they'll be allow to open on or around the 15th.

The good news is both companies agreed that if the original can't make the design, they'll sell the raw material in the green color I want to use to the other factory! One of the things I am waiting on is a list of the colors that can fit the crystal designs I have, since not all colors are available to make the big stuff we do. Remember, these guys usually do gemstones so even this crystal at a tiny thing is relatively gigantic.

As soon as I hear anything, I'll be updating you on what's going on. Right now even the postal delivery stuff is on pause due to the illness. It's a mess over there, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for em.

I'll toss in one free germ x wipe with each order if you are worried :lol:

Thanks, and if you have any questions in the mean time, drop me an email or just hit me up on twitter.

Thanks!

Slight update, factories are still closed. Basically, for those who aren't familiar with how it works in china for businesses, EVERYTHING is closed down pretty much. You have to submit paperwork to the government to reopen, and then they have to sign off on it after you agree to a few conditions (stuff like no sick people, reduced hours due to quarantine, report any illness asap, stuff like that for example, maybe an inspection as well).

They've submitted the paperwork, but there's really no way to "speed up" the government letting them reopen, and there's no way to reopen without their OK unless you really enjoy spending time in prison. There's no solid date for an estimate, so basically we are just in a big hurry up and wait situation. Even if they did open, they still don't have the prototype I sent because the mail has been basically working on reduced hours.

It's a pretty big mess over there, and I'm trying to keep good thoughts in my head for em. There's something like 40k+ cases and entire cities quarantined so it's gotta be frightening living in the middle of it.

I'm waiting to hear about what sort of reduced hours they are doing at the usual place I order from, so I can get a new crystal order going with them, but it might be a little while before I hear back.

Not exactly fantastic news, but I promised to keep you updated, so now you are all up to date with what I know.

I guess it will be worth the wait! At least if it’s with the factory that you normally use, we know that the shade of green should be right on.
 
I think we all have to accept there could be a longer wait, still. The situation is pretty serious over there. I'm in this for the long run so I don't care how long it takes, to be honest. Yes, it will definitely be worth the wait then.
 
Well, some semi good news!

The factory I use most of the time has opened up again! Well, the sales/management stuff anyway. They are still awaiting inspection for the working floor to get ok'd so they can make stuff.

As soon as THAT opens, we can at least start planning out an order of the regular crystals.

Keeping my fingers crossed on it!

Chris
