Hello backers, we received an update over the weekend and here is the link to COSCO VIETNAM, the boat that the Dragon Eye Dice are on (...and the crowd goes wild)

Please see below photos of the 40' container getting packed and leaving the factory. The estimated arrival date for the container is July 30th. With LTL trucking to CRWN Studios, our fulfillment partners in Oregon, arrival should be during the first week of August. 

We will be keeping an eye on the same link and we will let you know when everything arrives into CRWN and give you estimates of final mile fulfillment to your houses.

Once again, if you live in the Canada / Mexico / USA and have moved, please head into Backer Kit to change your address or email us on [email protected] with your new address.

*the boat is stopping before it heads across the pacific, this is normal

Outside North America: Canada / Mexico / USA? You have until tomorrow night to update your address!!

As some of you would have seen already, we have pinged out a reminder to update your address on Backer Kit. A lot of you have emailed, so thank you for that but even if you have emailed us about your address change, it is worth checking on Backer Kit that your email address is correct. You will all be receiving tracking numbers to whichever email address is on there. We have been told by the 3PL that fulfillment will begin this week.

*We have not been given any specifics as to what territories will be shipped in what order, so please be patient and wait for your tracking link, and then follow that as a guideline to delivery times.

Please log in today or tomorrow to do this as after that, all addresses will be locked.

Mexico / Canada / USA

We committed to make a finite amount of dice to match the orders, allowing us spares to sell obviously, BUT it is imperative that we get the quantities right. Therefore, the boat will leave as soon as everyone at the 3PL is confident that the correct dice are in the correct fulfillment ‘pile’. A boat has been chosen and it is stating a 20-25 days arrival time to Oregon, but we are reluctant to give the name until it has set sail.

THIS EMAIL IS NOT APPLICABLE TO ANYONE IN THE AMERICAS AT THIS STAGE, YOU WILL GET THIS ADDRESS REMINDER WHEN THE DICE HAVE LANDED IN THE USA

Anyone in the US, please check your Backer Kit profile or email on [email protected] if you need to change anything.

We will update again when we have more information from the 3PL.

We know it's been awhile...

Hi guys,

I know it’s been nearly two weeks since the last update (on Facebook) and AGES since the last update on Kickstarter / our blog, BUT we do have some information now about what has caused the friggin’ hold up…

At our request, the manufacturers have been scurrying around trying to find a service that can fulfil from Asia to the Rest of the World, to ensure that anyone outside of the Americas gets their dice, roughly at the same time as everyone in the Americas… we need to do this for 2 reasons; 1) to get your dice to you as quickly as possible and 2) to be able to finally launch new initiatives, dice & other items. This delay has not only irritated you, but it has put us on hold.

The container that is soon to be bound for Oregon, was packed with ALL the dice, as the plan was the fulfil everything from Oregon. Since this new idea of splitting the fulfillment came to fruition, this has meant that the whole container needed unpacking and all the SKUs re-sorted to ensure that the correct items go to and from the correct locations.

The work is near completion and here is a picture of some of the boxes to show that the dice exist.

I will post another update as soon as the name of the boat has been revealed. We are searching for the fastest boat option to cut the month down to a couple of weeks, perhaps 3.

If you need anything or are moving in the next 6 weeks to 2 months, please email me ALL THE DETAILS on [email protected]. Emails get replied to in a matter of a day or so, chat on Facebook & Kickstarter easily gets lost.

THANK YOU, more soon

This is an interim update...
over 1 year ago – Fri, Jun 02, 2023 at 01:08:14 PM

As I’ve been saying to anyone who emails…

The shipping company are on the case with the factory, so it’s all imminent. They are chasing them for all the weights and measurements etc. and there is NOTHING we can do to speed this up. 

We have written a draft update and the second we have the go ahead that something has changed, I will post it. Until then, this is a ‘more delays’ update which irritates you all JUST AS MUCH as hearing nothing, but just to break the silence.

Please wait patiently for the news that we will be posting... these delays are 100% out of our hands and no bad mouthing is necessary.  Thank you :)

There are a lot of people that have their own opinions, but we actually work for Spidermind Games, so although this delay is irritating, it’s not going to last forever and we know this for a fact.

Have a good weekend everyone and here’s to a worthy update on the Dragon Eye Dice front, arriving next week.

The Dice are on Their Way

Great News folks, the Dice are on the move. 

Having completed the audit and reprint of a selection of dice, they have been released and will be travelling to our freight forwarder very soon. As soon as space has been booked on a vessel we will release the name of the boat and the MarineTraffic tracking link. 

Many thanks again to all our backers for your patience as we have developed this totally new manufacturing process to create these unique dice. 

As we mentioned in our last update, we donated our sample sets of the Dragon Eye Dice to the charity Extra Life for their Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying Game playthrough, The Red Scribe. This event was shot at LA Comic Con in December last year. The entire playthrough can be seen here. Available on the IGN channels from 11am tomorrow morning.

A ten minute cut down of the live event will be aired in cinemas around the US and Canada from tomorrow night. This will be screened prior to a showing of Return of the King, to celebrate its 20th Anniversary. If you are interested and want tickets, you can find out more information here. 

If you do end up attending this event or watch the live playthrough, do let us know your thoughts and we hope you enjoy seeing your dice on the big screen as well as in your hands very soon.

And finally, if you have moved please do let us know by emailing our customer service team at [email protected] and we can update your details.

Many thanks once again,

Jon & Oliver
