And, cut/pasted directly from the article:

Those that buy the Limited Edition Signed Translites also get the first chance at any production games in the order they purchase the translights – so if they get #16, they’d have the chance to buy a production game before #20

We will have some more available for sale in a few weeks. They sold much quicker than we prepared for and we are already waiting on the next signed batch to arrive, so we didn't feel it was right to keep taking orders until the rest that have already ordered have shipped.

I'll post here when we open it back up again.

100% interested in this title, perhaps I misunderstood that payment when built! So why money up front? This has been disastrous in the past!
Still on my wish list ...

They haven't sold the 250 yet, just that they are catching up on the orders that they have first and then will open them up again for what is left out of the 250

Yes only 250 being made, and it only gives you that first option to get in on the build, the build doesn't have any predetermined limit to it. Thanks for making this project happen guys.

There will only be 250 of the signed and number translites available. We haven't sold out of them, just sold more than we already had signed so we are pausing sales until we catch up with the existing orders and have the rest available for immediate shipment.

They don't. Until they have a BOM and who builds it. They were hoping for a figure at TPF, but won't know for sure for awhile.

Just received an e-mail update today:

Thank you for supporting the Kingpin project with your purchase of one
or more signed and number Kingpin translites.
Based on when you ordered, your translite number(s) will be: 121
The response to the translites offer has been larger and quicker than we
thought was possible. This means that we’ve blown through the first
batch we had signed quicker than we expected and we are currently
awaiting the remaining translites to be signed and returned to us.
We expect to have more available to ship starting next week and we will
send updates to everyone when that has happened.
We have not sold all 250 of the translites yet, but we didn’t feel it
was fair to keep taking orders while we still needed to ship your order.
So we have paused the sale of the translites until all of the existing
orders have shipped.
Thanks again for your support of the project. If you have any questions
about the translites or the game itself, feel free to email me.

Have not received any further information either, but I am not too worried as of yet.

Having a business that ships stuff out weekly I know it can take some time to sort thru a large order and have everything correct. Take into account a sequentially ordered item and getting the correct number to the correct person is something you want to get right the first time.

Hopefully some of their time is also focused on making Kingpin and having the game closer to production too. . .

I'm sending an update out to all of the purchasers tonight, but I wanted to post a quick update here since we have quite a few purchasers from here and it's been brought up.

The short version is:
Translites through #103 will ship tomorrow.
Translites through #153 will ship late next week.
Translites after #153 will ship late April.

I'm including a Key Fob promo plastic with each of them as a thank you for your patience.

The longer story is we have only been able to get about 50 a week printed, shipped to Chicago for signatures, and shipped back to us. Round trip from the time they are printed at the printer, make their trip to Chicago, get signed, and then returned to us is in Atlanta is around two weeks start to finish.

The good news is that we are getting them weekly at this point since each batch was sent out a week apart and we are now on the receiving side of that two weeks.

Once we ship all the online orders that occurred while at TPF, we will add them back to our storefront.

I'll post here when they are available again.

Ayup! Through #103 as expected. We had two damaged during transit to us, which fortunately was what I had allowed for in my calculations.

You can't see the printer or the other crap laid out on the table, but my dining room table was a big shipping station tonight.

We should get the next batch back from Stan/Mark late next week for another shipping marathon. And the batch after that should get us caught up and ready to ship new orders.

A Quick update.

The next 50 are on their way to Atlanta after taking a bit longer to be signed than expected. Currently Fedex has it scheduled to be delivered to us on Tuesday.

These will be processed that night and shipped out the next day. You should start getting tracking numbers between now and then as the labels are created.
