For Sale ALUMINUM FPH2 EARS by MachineCraft - First (likely only) Run

Count me in!

 

I hate to be a pain, but any idea on when this will happen? I have a commission and I am waiting for the ears to begin. Thanks!

 

Same here.. had been wanting to time these with my commission also.

 

He said he needs at least 25 people to do the run.... we seem to be stuck on 24, unless he hasnt updated the thread. But it looks like he needs one more person to get it going. Id love a set but cant justify the cost for myself personally right now.

 

He hasn't updated the thread, I'm on board with this too....

 

I haven't. It's on my list of things to do this weekend. The run is live, and I am trying to run off a couple extras just in case, although they'll cost a bit more than the folks who put down a deposit.

 

I am aiming to have them out before the end of July -- we left preorders open a little longer to get the run fulfilled than I had anticipated. The shop I am working with has been incredibly busy, and I am wrapping up 3 other projects at the same time. It has been non-stop running to say the least.

 

Sweet! I wish i could get in on this run, but cash is just too tight at the moment

 

What's the news? When to wait for the update?

 

I hate to bug, but last status was "some time in August." Any news?

 

I am now working with a 3rd shop on these after 2 shops were unable to deliver. I am meeting with the owner of the shop this evening to discuss them. This 3rd shop just finished up a large batch of our beacons in a short amount of time, so i'm confident they can tackle them. However, this is why I tried to preface that I can't commit to an exact timeline, because I planned to have these done over a month ago. Once I figure out the basics with the new shop, I will let you guys know what the roadmap looks like. If the uncertainty of the timeline doesn't work for you, feel free to reach out to me and if needed we can refund your deposit.

 

Thanks! These details are very helpful. I am working with a shop now on something else and it took them 2 months to get back to me after I said go because they were having trouble keeping employees and then they had a backlog, so I know the story.

Thanks!

 

Good info.

Just keep us in the loop.

 

Can I get in on this?

Please email us at machinecraftreplicas@gmail.com and we'll get back with you as soon as possible.

 

We received a quote back today from the 3rd shop with very fair pricing. I am working with them on what the timeline will look like on getting a prototype, and the run as a whole. I will report back once I have an ETA - however, it will be a true ETA in that it's just an estimate. I still don't want to make any promises on a hard date until we have the prototype approved. It's really important to me that we don't cut any corners and that these are well worth the wait, so I'm going to ensure that they are as close to perfect as we can get before I give a hard date.

 

I appreciate you guys taking the time to get this right.

Either way, I'll be here. Thanks for getting back to us.

 

I'm 100% good on however long this takes. No worries

 

This shop estimates that we can have them done and shipping in 4-5 weeks. I am going to coordinate with them and try to be present for the initial runoff of each part to prevent any delays.

I know you initially stated there will only be one run for this set, but with you finding a new shop to take care this item for you will that change?

 

It's difficult to say, but at this time I would say probably not. I will have a few extra sets for sale if you are interested, but they'll be a little more than the preorder discount for this run.

 

Hey guys -- Good news. Ears are going into a simultaneous prototyping/production THIS WEEK. The new shop has been very motivated and I've been very happy with their attention to detail. More news and details to come very shortly!

 

Yes! Can't wait!

 

Awesome news!
