    Did you order from Kickstarter or indiegogo? As far as I know, they are probably prioritizing on Kickstarter orders first.

    Kickstarter is when they first started the funding campaign, and Indiegogo came after the Kickstarter funding campaign ended. You can only order on Indiegogo now.

    I ordered on kickstarter, definitely less than 2000 there and then they moved to indiegogo.

    Have they mentioned how long they will stay with these other platforms before moving to a normal website purchase experience or amazon?

    "Hi, thank you for the feedback and for backing our project! We are glad that you enjoy the final product. Unfortunately we cannot offer the super early bird pricing ever again.

    The Indiegogo is still a good deal while it lasts. It will go away as soon as we are caught up with the orders."

    Orbital

    Most likely when they fulfill all of the Indiegogo orders.

    The reason I ordered on the last day was I messaged them the same thing and they straight up said they are raising the price when they get to a place to allow orders via amazon or their site.

    They are most likely prioritizing Kickstarter orders first before Indiegogo, which there's a good 1300+? orders from Kickstarter.

    I believe I remember reading one of their comments stating they were doing a listing test on Amazon, but won't be coming after initial Kickstarter and Indiegogo orders are fulfilled.

    Quite unlikely as of now. They are barely shipping out to up to backers around up to around #625 at Kickstarter (which I am at #527 and haven't got any notice for shipping), which is about half way. Might be some delays with shipping.

    Thanks for the pic. I’m thinking that will look nice in silver as well.
