This is a very good question in my opinion, sadly I don't know if anyone knows the answer. Once the 1000 cases arrive, and Craig approves them(He may wait for Michaels OK), they can aprrove the remaining portion. Unless some miracle takes place in China, it can take 2 weeks, or 2 months.#17 said:

I ordered October 2009, that would mean I have to wait another year...Monk said:

Looks like it's been more like 200 every week for the last month, but they may have been holding back a little. Suppose they go to the full 500 per week, it'll be 4 weeksish to get the rest of them. The boards have been pretty reliable in getting made and sent quickly from what I can see.
They've also said they're waiting on the first 1000 cases only because they don't trust they can consistently get the same quality as they saw in the samples. However, once they arrive and are inspected, they can order the remaining 9000. According to the factory, they can do about 1000 per day. Let's say it actually takes 3 weeks to make them, plus a week for shipping, plus 4 weeks where the cases are packed and waiting to be shipped but no one actually calls UPS, that gives about 2 months for the remainder of the cases.
Very unrealistic. I expect the cases to arrive on Monday not Friday.tsh said:
That's pretty much it. Craig doesn't have the 1,000 cases yet but he's going to pick them up today. Once they've been quality checked, 9,000 more will be ordered.Mantis said:

I'm a little concerned that the remaining cases will now be put on hold in the factory. I mean, we know roughly how long it will take them to produce the rest presuming that they start producing them as soon as someone gives them the ok, but what happens if this job has been pushed to the bottom of the order pile? I can't imagine that they're poised at the 'go' button, nervously glancing at the supervisor's door, waiting for him to kick it off it's hinges and scream 'PANDORA CASE PRODUCTION INITIATE!'.

I really wonder, when they are in the moot to start with the rest of the cases and especialy ship them to the paint-job-facttory and then to England. I smell many weeks if not months from craigix "go" to the finished cases.
So he better gives his go as fast as possible.
