From the land where things ship on weekends?

So... What he means is "parts of case that have been molded so far are shipping to MWeston this weekend, not even a full case" and not "complete 4000 cases shipping this weekend" right?

[Game_over]

this could implicate many things which I'm sure he will elaborate on in the coming days.
Great progress, things seem to be picking up.

[HealyHQ]

Yes, it has been 'picking up' for quite a while now, eh? :)

2. Cases will ship sometime this week
According to the company which creates the moulds, the first samples of the cases should ship within this week (they didn’t say any exact date).
That does mean that they should arrive latest next week – and if everything is fine, it’s CASE MASS PRODUCTION time. Yeeeha!

so all that is being shipped is the samples of the cases (im guessing transparent ones)

Let's hope everything checks out with the test run. Cross your fingers :)

Next week should be exciting, maybe a video of a full and final mp everything pandora?

edit: well, not final if they are clear cases I guess... but still exciting

I don't think they're transparent. Didn't Craigix say that if these cases were good he was going to use them for customer units so that he could get a symbolic 1st Pandora out the door some time this month?

Edit : Obviously it's too late for "This month" but Craigix is always a bit optimistic. These are probably the units he was talking about.

These are samples of what comes out of the mould. They finished the moulds, they setup the moulds, they squeeze some plastic into the moulds, make a few cases, send them over, and if there are no problems, MWeston says "GO" and then they make about 10'000 more. These samples are still made in the production way, so the word is they'll be used to ship the very first Pandora! Which means the first Pandora can be shipped as early as next week. And then there will be a Two Month ™ delay before the next ones are ready to go :P
(Trust me, kittens are evil, and deserve what they got coming)

So if everything is good then all the Pandoras should ship out before Christmas right?

[Na-Noo]

These should be final sample cases not test ones like the transparent ones. If there perfect they will probably be used as the first real Pandora's to be sent out
