Latest Updates from Our Project:

Mass Production Started
about 5 years ago – Mon, Mar 25, 2019 at 02:25:54 AM

Hello all,

We're happy to report that after approving our pre-production samples, mass production has begun! Our factory has advised that production should take until the end of April. As it takes several weeks for a shipment to reach us across the ocean and to get through customs, that puts fulfillment in late May/early June. 

I'm hoping that my next update will be to tell you all that production has wrapped and our shipment has left the factory :) Thanks everyone!

News from China

Greetings backers,

We just returned from a great trip to China where we able to visit our printer and check in on the status of Penny Lane. There were two components we had only gotten to see in photos/videos before, so we were eager to see them! Those were of course the deluxe mayor meeple and the gilded tokens.

Here's the mayor in action, where you can see the shimmery paint job!

Mesmerizingly shiny!

The factory is currently creating our PPC (pre-production copy) before moving along with mass. This is just a final check to make sure everything is just as it should be. We always think it's better to err on the side of caution in these case - no one likes errata or misprints! We hope to have the PPC by the end of the month. Production will likely take most of April, so we're currently estimating that fulfillment could occur in May - give or take a couple weeks this could bleed into June. We realize this is a little later than intended but hope you will be as impressed with the production quality as we were doing our visit!

Thanks everyone!

Final Word on the Insert
over 5 years ago – Wed, Jan 09, 2019 at 01:39:25 AM

Hello all,

The Great Insert Saga of 2018 is drawing to a close :) The insert will be staying in the box. If you are inclined to throw it away, please recycle it if you are able. Due to the insert staying in the box, there will not be a custom interior box wrap.

Thanks,

Brenna
