I limited myself to 4 which was incredibly painful. Had I not just spent a bunch of money on my birthday and a short vacation with my wife, I could easily have quintupled that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might say this importunity in expanding our collections is a sign of jejunity, but against all such disunity we have immunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad people had an opportunity to buy them, but, damn, the number of games sold was just nuts, far exceeding what I was expecting! I'll go into some details soon about the various things I'm actively working on to greatly reduce the amount of time it takes me to get orders out. That's not really going to help with the Last Chance orderes, but as I mentioned above, the goal by this time next year (or earlier, really) is to ship 95% of orders within a week's time. ..Aln How many total games sold?

vrocko Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 On 4/22/2024 at 11:21 AM, Albert said: I haven't sent out a new update yet, as others have surmised, I have my head down and furiously building games. Built another 250 Last Chance games over the weekend, and will get several hundred more done over the next few days. This work will result in shipping another large batch of orders next week, then it's time to rinse and repeat, and I can start on the next big batch of games. I'm shipping 100-200 orders in each batch. The orders vary quite a bit in size, some have just one game, and other orders can have 30 or more games. ..Al Wow and I thought my six was a lot! 30 or more in some lots! Holy Jumpin' Catfish that's a lot! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I just now received my shipping notice for my Last Chance purchases. That's our poor Al, working his ass off on a long holiday weekend for the customer. Thanks, man. Looking forward to receiving these in a few days. 👍🏼 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, basically working non-stop through the weekend and tomorrow, so I can make likely two trips to the post office first thing Tuesday morning to drop a ton of packages off. Since a high percentage of these orders contain many boxed games, it definitely takes longer to get these orders out versus the typical variety of orders which is more mixed in terms of loose/boxed games. ..Al 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that I'm in the Tuesday morning drop-off I'm making good progress, this was the largest batch of Last Chance games I've built so far. Today I am working on all the orders that have more than six boxed games in them, I'll be lucky to get through all these today. With what I already have done it's going to require at minimum two trips to the PO in the morning. Your orders aren't in this batch, but they will be in the next one, which I will be working on after I get these all dropped off. ..Al 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
