AA a disappointing turn of events...We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

 AAAAA disappointing set back in our “Collectors Edition” game pieces.  It took a few weeks to get the new pieces sculpted and we where very happy with them.  We wanted to try a new mold idea that you allow us to pour one mold for all 8 game pieces with no flash lines…it was brilliant.. not so.
    The start of the issue was that the mold box material was too porous the new silicon bonded to it a little.  This was not too bad of a deal breaker, it took some time and we got some tears that we didn’t want to but could be fixed.  The next issue is that the bold itself was not really designed well enough for the pieces to be released. The block was so thick that it would not bed enough to eject the product. We could have cut them out individually but doing that kind of cutting would give us some pretty harsh flash lines that we would not want, and to compound the issue it damaged almost every one of the sculpts we had.  So its back to the drawing board for us.
    This among a few other things is going to push the Kickstarter date back about a month or so. This is a great learning experience for us so don’t feel too bad for us.  Just don’t forget us when the kickstarter rolls around in a month or so.
    We will still be announcing the winner of our Collectors Edition game on 8/29/14.  We should ship with in a few weeks of the official Kickstarter launch.  We are going to give away another one so keep an eye on our facebook page….you could be the lucky one!!
