I believe these are high quality metal molds that lasts much longer then 10'000 units. I think that's what they've said. 10'000 units is just the minimum order, big companies have minimum orders because it's not worth it for them to do small orders.jumpman said:

I believe it was Craig who compared these molds to the cheaper ones that only lasts about 10'000 times and people just got confused with the whole 10'000 minimum order.mali said:

Something to that effect was said, I remember it as well. What I don't remember, now that I'm thinking on it, is if it was said "these moulds only last about 10'000 runs" or "We got the good moulds because standard moulds only last for 10'000" or something like that.mali said:

You won't get any news by asking right now. We are waiting for Fatih, afaik. ED's twitter account and the official blog is the place to look at right now.Phawx said:
There were discussions, but it had something todo with Aluminum vs. steel IIRC. From the pics these moulds clearly look like steel.WizardStan said:

We spoke to the factory, they confirmed the moulds are finished and they are shipping final samples this weekend.

Hey, it was sayed they are already on its way to MWeston and only a little bit delayed because of the bad weather. (?) Are we continuing the "next week" game forever and ever now?craigix said:
So in reality, they indeed took 2 Weeks since their "dead line" onto the 15. to really finish the stuff? There really is a gigantic communication gap between here and the Factory. Well, I'm sure everyone who is involved had learned alot and next time you use a Translator before you start with working with the factory and not after.

If the green light isn't given by the 3rd, there is no way they can make 4000 before Chinese New Year, unfortunately. Unless the factory runs on weekends as well, in which case they have until the 5th. I think, anyway.craigix said:

*sigh*
You are frequenting two boards, it can't be that you missed the latest progress, can it?

I think the bigger issue right now is thses cases being OK, and they don't have the time get any produced before the holiday. That will be an even bigger kick in the balls! If there shipping this weekend, it's going to be damn close(right in line with my ealier estimates). Maybe a few hundred, maybe even a thousand can get produced, but all 4000? I really don't know if that will happen. This is a chance for the factory to step up, and show that they can get the job done, finally! Although I wouldn't place any bets on that happening, but good luck to us all! <_<Paradox said:

Oh, lets wait until the chinese interpreter, friend of Fatih, do confirm us that it's correct.craigix said:
Now, seriously, let's hope there are no problems this time with the case.

Didn't MW say something about bad weather in Canada so the cases should arrive late this week?
I do wonder how many cases (if any) they can ship before the holidays.
