I've had the smaller parts for about a month now.
I asked Dave several times to ship the Obi, MPP and Graflex NOW and the kobold later on (I don´t mind additional s&h charges, as long as I RECEIVE something).
No reply for months...is he o.k.?
Who can help me get at least some of the parts :unsure ?

Yeah guys - I'm ok - just have had a lot going on and trying to balance everything. I've not been on here much lately which I know makes it look like I've disappeared - but that's not the case. I just have a lot of catching up to do.
Before anyone else asks - I'M NOT TAKING ANY MORE ORDERS. It's been bad enough as is with delay after delay. I'm not adding to my misery OR yours.
Someone mentioned about a year having gone by - actually, it's been more than a year. Originally, these were suppose to start shipping in June of 04. I wouldn't even take money until late May for them precisely because I didn't want to have to mess with having to keep track of large sums of money and orders for any length of time - and look what I still ended up with. Best intentions.... I know.
Anyway, as I said on my site - this latest delay is totally my fault because I just dropped the ball due to too much going on with work, kids, etc.. My wife is back on both feet now (thanks for all the well-wishes) and pretty much went right into disaster mode for the Red Cross (where she works) for a local train-chemical leak and then right into hurricane Katrina relief efforts - which means more time for me with our kids. Never a dull moment.
Anyway - I apologize for not responding to the individual e-mails in a timely manner. I'm trying to address the larger issues before the smaller individual issues as much as possible. I did get a return phone call from Jeff last week - and of course, he said he's been swamped with orders this summer from the film opening through all the cons. I can't do anything but keep in contact with him - and I do know that my CC was charged on Saturday for the additional stuff I ordered - and he said he would try to ship it this week. So fingers crossed.
He said the Kobold's were still "in progress," that many of the parts were now being manufactured here and then being assembled in China - didn't understand the whole story since I thought China was the reason for all the delays in the first place - but that's what he said.
Anyway - just wanted to let you all know that I'm still around but have been busy which means it's harder to keep everyone happy I know.

I've appreciated reading that others have received at least partial orders.
However, I'm wondering, how many orders were placed total? Does anyone know? Dave? There aren't many people listed on the shipping page on dave's site. I had asked some time back about some kind of list being put up so we could know where we stand in line, but nothing on that.
There's just no telling if this is happening soon, or if this will be another year. If I'm next in line, I guess there's some hope of seeing something. If I'm more like last in line...

Hey Dave, good to see you on earths surface again.
WHat about my request to get at least the Obis, MPPs and Graflex NOW and the kobolds later on (I don´t mind additional s&h charges, as long as I RECEIVE something)?
I´d really appreciate a feedback :unsure

It's just getting effing stupid now.....the last shipping of these kits was 8 MONTHS ago......
I either want my kit or my money back.......i'm totally sick of waiting....loads of people have said that Jeff was selling these kits at some con (sic) or other.....if there are supposed delays with manufacturing, how can he be selling kits?
I paid out my dosh a year and a half ago.....
Last update on Dave's site is STILL 21st July.....
I WANT MY KIT NOW..... :angry
