OK, has anyone heard back from Emily today. I did not hear back yet, although she did say she would put aside a set for me. I really hope she did because their website now says these are sold out.
I haven’t heard from her today. She did say she would put a set aside for me while they figure out shipping to the US.
Fingers crossed, man.

If you expressed interest in buying a set, then I believe Emily said they would hold one for you.

Nope, I didn't hear from her today either. Figured she was just still trying to sort out the shipping issue. I'm sure we'll hear something tomorrow
My set arrived today and it looks great (photos to follow) and it seems that I received set no. 5 rather than set 14 as expected (sorry Slash-5, no set 1). I am happy with this but I cannot see the set number on either of the Kings only on the COA. Should it be or is it in some subtle place I have not noticed. I am going to ask Phil & Emily but if anyone knows for sure please let me know.
OK so I just got a reply from Emily on the numbers on the base and this is it;
"Great, I'm so pleased you like it! Ah yes, apologies for not mentioning. So, we trialled engraving certification numbers onto the base of the kings, but we just couldn't get it to the quality we wanted...
So instead, we've added a certification code: a randomly generated code that as well as featuring on the certificate you have, we have also kept on file, such that should any confirmation of authenticity ever be required in future, (by buyers/insurers etc) we can easily confirm the correct confirmation number for the run number (I hope I've explained that well enough that it makes sense?). Run number format is 'run/set number in run/year'... "
So that explains that. No big deal but I just wanted to check. "It's the only way to be sure".

Yes it is in quite a big box about 40cm each side as the set is double boxed so unless your back pack is the size of a dustbin it won't fit

Has anyone heard back from Emily on shipping to the US? She said on Tuesday that she was hoping to hear from the shipping company, but I haven’t heard back yet.

I did yesterday. I'd trust them. They are working as fast as they can. I think the demand threw them off a bit. lol

Nothing yet from Emily. I’m dreading the shipping cost.

I was told their postal service is asking $100 or so, the delay is she is trying to get a lower rate. She's working hard for us guys, don't worry.
