The not so good news is that the original delivery quotes that we were given when we began the Kickstarter project were exceedingly optimistic. The quotes we&#8217;re getting now are more firmly grounded in reality and are a bit longer than we were first led to believe. Delivery estimates are coming in at around 12-16 weeks. We&#8217;re moving forward as fast as we can right now, and hope to be able to shave some of the time off by optimizing the manufacturing. Of course, we&#8217;ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Folks, Sorry it&#8217;s been a little quiet here on the updates.
