Worldwide left GGGHQ yesterday, rest of USA to ship tomorrow

Hey everyone
I just wanted to let everyone know we're making great progress in the kickstarter.
Yesterday I dropped off the non-USA orders at UPS. I have marked these as shipped in backerkit, but please be patient as it will take a couple weeks for the games to arrive - these orders are en route to an exporter, and from there will be consolidated into a shipment to our shipping partner over in the UK, who will distribute the pledges to non-USA backers. They also deal with the VAT to make the order EU friendly. (For the Canadian backers, your orders will come from the UK, as the above process is actually significantly cheaper than me sending a game to Toronto directly from upstate New York!)
For those picking up in person, I have a pretty good idea of who you most of you are, and in any case we'll be bringing all these pledges to shows until they're all gone.
Thanks again for your support in this project!
Ian

Hello all!
Very shortly I'll be sending lock down emails from backerkit, so please make sure to fill out the surveys if you're one of the few who haven't yet.
One advantage to a smaller project is things happen more quickly. So It looks like we'll be able to start shipping things as soon next week, at least in the USA. Worldwide it will still be a few weeks as we'll need to get the copies to our worldwide distribution partner in the UK.
If you are going to be at the Schenectady Wargamers this Saturday I will have copies to deliver in person. (http://www.swa-gaming.org/)
Meanwhile, I've decided to rename the Deep Space Promo Tile to the Oort Cloud. Here's what it looks like (on the front).
Lookout for those surveys! Thanks for your support!
All the best,
Ian

Hey everyone
Just a quick note to let you know that I'll be sending out the backerkit survey in a couple minutes. The Print and Play version should be available in about a week, which will be sent using their toolkit.
thanks!

Hello Backers
For better or worse, the rules always go through 2 distinct iteration phases, pre and post graphics. We're now on our third and probably final revision in post graphics, and look to finish this week with what will go to the printer.
Next I'll assemble the digital edition
. When that is ready, I will send an email from Backerkit, to complete the surveys and allow you to order add-ons.
If you have some reason you cannot use backerkit, let me know via email.
Thanks
Ian

Hey everyone
I'm sorry if I've been sending out a lot of emails, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew we had successfully kickstarted, reaching another stretch goal in the final minutes!
Your Second Edition Upgrade Kit will include:
- 12 Page Rules Booklet
- 108 cards (84 Game Play, 8 Scoring, 12 Attribute, 4 Player Aids)
- Deep Space Promo Tile
- High Yield Asteroid Promo Tile
- 12 Additional Wooden Rocket Pieces
- 40 Additional Wooden Tokens
I will probably be using backerkit again to manage the add ons and domestic shipping. I will have copies of the Fuel Stockpile Promo Tile for sale, as well as Quartermaster General promos, products, and more, all at special prices.
Thank you for your support! The surveys will go out in a few weeks with the digital versions not far behind. The final layout has already begun.
Ian
