It Just got Even Better to be a Valiant Supporter!!! *08/12

If you haven't got a Penny a Ha'Penny will do

The English call it a "Crapence"

[lorddunlow]

So drmirage is extorting copper coinage now? This is a little ridiculous. I smell a Ponzi scheme!

Can't imagine losing one of these packages..hence the penny. It will be a big if we're to misplace or lose one.

Leaving it to the US Post Office's hands.

Fixed that for you!

Seriously, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to post reviews for everything in a week or so. Hopefully, I'll be able to get in on round 2!

Shipping out 18/22 on Monday. The rest who haven't replied will have to wait.

[brucehartshorn]

It's Monday and that means Elery will be shipping the "extras" out to members of the group of 22 today. This has been soooo long in coming and I want you to know that we truly appreciate your patience and understanding. We really hope that you are pleased with what you get and as promised, once you all get them we'll post the backstory to this project which is actually pretty interesting.

[kevinbastos]

Make sure that the FIRST person(s) who get this POST the pictures, ok?

I'm in Pittsburgh - who is out WEST?

[hawkeyeps]

Maybe it will be me

I'm on the fence, I don't know if I want to see it here or just have the surprise of actually getting it...I may have to avoid this thread, then again maybe not.

What to do? What to do?

[brucehartshorn]

Hawk,

There's nothing wrong with anticipation. Seeing someone else's won't diminish the thrill of actually holding yours in your hands.

It's a Valiant penguin, but real and alive! Awesome!

[brucehartshorn]

Also, in case you all aren't checking your mail as often as I do, I just got confirmation that Elery has shipped my package and I know he was doing them all at once so watch your email for confimation that your package has shipped!

My tracking number says "Electronic Shipping Info Received" so I am not sure when mine will show up I will post a picture when it gets here

[lorddunlow]

Long time, no see, man!

BTW, Elery said I can have yours since you didn't respond early enough. Sucks to be you. I'll send you some pics. Maybe even an unboxing video for your enjoyment!

Sounds awesome!

My sister just had a baby so I was out of town for a few...

Awwww. Look at that. Family members that actually get along. I really am jealous of that. I had to spend my teens and twenties raising my sister's kids, so I'm a little bitter. (Love the now 18 and almost 21yr old boys though and wouldn't trade the experience at all - just wished they turned out a little more responsible.)

Obviously, about the surprise going to me. But since you seem so cool about it, maybe you can just forward it to me when you get it?

Baby doing well?

[drmirage]

3:07 PM Monday.

18 / 22 are shipped. These are going out Priority Mail 2-Day Service.

I'm confident all US Domestic will get theirs as early as Wednesday, latest Thursday.

Thanks for your patience.

Elery

Fortunately me and my sister have a great relationship and she is my wife's best friend. The baby is doing great and so is mommy!

You'd have "to pry it from my dead, lifeless fingers. If you can get it from my kung-fu grip then you can come and have it."

[Man Of The Atom]

I am actually debating on leaving work as soon as my girlfriend tells me it arrived at her office to go pick it up.

My tracking number says "Electronic Shipping Info Received" so I am not sure when mine will show up I will post a picture when it gets here

USPS tracking is worthless. It usually says something like mine currently does:

Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office.

That's code for "we don't really know where it is at the moment."

UPS and Fedex have no problem with tracking stuff, I see it every day on my Amazon orders.

[Phoenix8008]

I didn't get an email with tracking info, but I'm sure it's fine and on it's way. Looking forward to the big reveal.

[drmirage]

To the 18/22 that have shipped. All the tracking #s should be already updated. (Check your emails)

To the 4 that I haven't shipped yet are:
Phantom (sent you a PM)
iwantvaliantcomics (sent you a PM)
cjv (on vacation)
hawkeyeps (combining with VEI Canadian Library)
Hawk, sorry for not shipping yours today. I will be combining yours with the Canadian Lending Library set. Ill ship yours out on Wed.

As far as the USPS tracking numbers, I created 4/22 labels on Friday and only shipped them out today.
(Bruce and I decided to wait and ship everyone's at the same time)
The Tracking #'s should be up to date by Tuesday. You can sign up for email notifications with the tracking #'s sent to your email.

Interestingly enough, USPS now includes $50 insurance to Click and Ship Priority Mail.

If members who participated do not want to be spoiled to what the bonus extra is.... AVOID this thread because it will be revealed by the first ones who get them. I believe some of you may receive it as early as Tuesday, in the West Coast.

4 months in the making or waiting.... glad we're finally putting this to bed.

[Man Of The Atom]

Oh man, the package is somewhere between Santa Clarita and San Francisco. Most likely it will get here tomorrow!!

It would be funny if Elery just sent out 22 empty boxes.

[drmirage]

The bonus ... 22 empty boxes .

We have photos of the packages when we left it at the USPS yesterday.

Thought of posting the photos, but it might give away the bonus.
