29 December Update:

Bottom Line Up Front: Despite some minor QC issues with the cases, we're still tracking for delivery by February

Cases: Initial QC complete. This is a mixed bag honestly. Tops on Promise Ring and Surrender cases are mostly fine, but there are some issues with the Mourning cases. It appears to be marks from the anodizing rack/process on the bottom/interior of the cases. When I get back home next week, I'll be working with the manufacturer to see what they can fix. I've also got a local professional machinist friend that's offered to help me find a local anodizer if it comes to that.

For the weights, these will pass the GB QC standard of no visible issues when assembled, but there are a decent number of weights that have some machine marks on the interior. I don't this will take away anyone's enjoyment of the board. The bottom of the weights look incredible, and I think everyone will be pleased.

PCBs/DBs/Cables: All but about 15 PCBs have been paired with the DB and cables, and flashed. I'll finish this up when I get back from vacation.

29 September Update: Everything's been paid for with the exception of non-FR4 plates. I made the decision to do a final prototype run of plates to be absolutely sure that tolerances and the surface finish would be within standards. These prototypes have been paid for and will start shipping to me next week. I'll be making the payment for the bulk order of plates as soon as I confirm the final prototypes.
