Do they really have our money? Or do the people we preordered with? I could be mistaken, but I don't think MP actually has our pre-orders money, at least not yet. But maybe they do. The important thing is that WE don't have our money or something to show for it... }[ True facts!

I don't blame you. MP should expect some backlash.. I hope they do. All they had to do was being honest about the project from the get go. Just let the customers know what they are getting into before you ask for their money. If we had been given heads up that this was a kickstarter project, some of us would've still shed out our money, while other may have just decided to wait until the Voltron was actually released to buy it. We did not get that choice, and it burns me to this day... }[

Yeah. I know exactly what you mean and that's what I meant too... Now who's going to preorder MP now? Not too many I suspect...
MP ought to know this is extremely small community and words spread rather quickly, good or bad...especially in internet.
To this day, I'm always surprised and confused at how some e business ( both big and small ) treat their paying customers...

I'm daydreaming about the chaos that would result from an inferior product even after we waited so long. Scary.

I'm with Maz. If he's done ship him out ASAP. My guess is he's FINALLY going into mass production so we're probably looking at two or three weeks there. Then a week for him to ship from China and finally another week for Dave to process the orders. So I say late Jan early Feb we should see him show up on out door steps.

They didn't use us a kickstarter. Its online retailers that want the money up front not MP. The reason is so they don't over order. Imagine if 50 people ordered Voltron from Dave and then right after he's placed the order for them 25 people cancel. He's stuck with an extra 25 Voltrons. They will have to sit in his back room or warehouse taking up space til he sells them. If they take too long to sell he'll have to reduce the price and he loses money.
By charging up front Dave and others just order whats needed. If he can get by with it he might order an little extra to sell. An amount he feels he can sell for full price.

But it is the same thing thou. If Dave is willing to refund the pre-order payments, then:
1. He has not placed/paid an order for the Voltrons he needs yet - this is scary.
2. He did place the order already and it is on sort of a consigment agreement - he gets to return what doesn't sell, or gets credit for it.
or...
3. He placed the order already for a set amount of Voltrons and is confident they will all sell, regardless if pre-orders are cancelled or not.
Either way, I don't really care as long as I get my two Voltrons soon. ;D

No offence to those close to Dave, but without concrete proof. I do not believe anything Dave or any of Miracle Production staff's updates regarding this matter. In my honest opinion. These are all just delaying tactics.

I wonder if CDX will get their Voltron earlier than us to do reviews on or if they will get it around the same time as us.

Dave is doing his best, as he has no power over Miracle Productions, but he should know better than to trust anything they tell him by now. I really feel sorry for him, as he is between a rock and a hard place... }|

There's been really nothing on the web about him since the beginning. Robot Kingdom now has him listed for the end of Feb. Even if he doesn't release this month I still have this guy to look forward too. ;D
