Hey everyone, we are knee deep in the no-news-is-good-news phase of manufacturing and fulfillment 📦 All we need now is a little patience as the manufacturing process plays out.

Things are moving forward smoothy and we've been told we can expect our Mass Production Copy (MPC) any day now. This is the very last physical copy we have to approve before heading into final mass production.

Since our last update we have secured a freight partner to get our game from China to USA. And we've also secured a warehouse and fulfillment partner to get our games from us to you!

As mentioned in our last update, here is the general timeline to expect:

MASS PRODUCTION (typically takes 10-12 weeks) — the first official copy of Realm Runners, called the Mass Production Copy (MPC), should be arriving any day now. We are at the tail end of this stage and everything is running super smooth. This is the final checkpoint before final assembly.

FINAL ASSEMBLY (typically 1-2 week) — after the MPC has been approved by us, Panda's production team will finish final assembly and prepare the games for shipping.

SHIPPING (TBD) — Once all the games are shipped form China to our USA warehouse (freight) we will begin shipping to all of you! The timeline for this will depend on the availability and cost of boats from China to USA. How the tariffs will affect freight timelines and costs are still a little blurry as of today but we are going to get some answers later this week from our freight partners.

📝 You can all expect BackerKit surveys once we know Realm Runners is on a boat heading our way and what the official tariff impact will be. In the survey you will be able to confirm your shipping address and add any last minute items to your order. 

We are so very excited to be so close to the finish line. We only had a couple backers get cranky at us because of the unforeseen delays, but the VAST MAJORITY of you (like 99.9%) are so rad and patient. Your kindness and understanding is what keeps us going and maintaining our excitement.

We will send another update with pics once the MOC copy arrives along with an updated timeline!
