Hello backers, just to be clear things up as there seems to be some confusion around the the last update, right now we are in the process of finding a port forwarder who can pickup the dice from the factory and ship them to us via sea freight. Our original forwarder that we had planned to use backed out and is only shipping packages for its core clients, so we are looking for another forwarder to get the shipment sorted.
Right now we are in talks with a number of forwarders and have been for a few weeks but communication has stopped due to Chinese new year. We expect to get a response once the companies return to work after the new year hopefully by then the new Chinese policies will have had time to settle.
you can read a little more on whats happening in the ports:

Hello Backers, we are looking at completing this set in the next 15 days, the first week of December, photos of the shipment will follow, in an early/mid December update.
- The Chrome sets are ready
- The Enchanted sets are ready
- Gold is due for completion mid next week
- Bronze is due for completion following week
Once we have the sets packed we will be allotted a port shipment slot, and will have an idea on the ETA to the UK.
-------------
We have mentioned these in past updates but just as a refresher:
- If you have moved please let us know before the shipping forwarding date, you will be reminded 2-3 weeks prior to shipping, this might be faster than expected if we land in a UK port over a Netherlands port.
- If your card has expired please update it via the pledge manager
- If you require a color swap let us know, please place orders based of the photos the ancient silver is mislabeled on the pledge manager in two sections and is bronze/copper in looks as the photo shows.
- If you have yet to fill in the pledge manager please contact us.
Any questions please just send us a message.
We are still working on the sets.

As we don't have much news, other than the dice are still getting worked on, its hard to keep backers updated. However i wanted to show that we are still actively in contact with the factory. We have sent 100s of emails, and normally get updates every one - two weeks via skype, to try and cut down on language barriers and time differences.
Right now the factory is still giving us a December shipment date. We are working with one of the top 3 board game manufacturers and despite delays the project will be delivered. Right now there is an engineer actively overlooking the final stage.
Once that engineer meets back with the production team we should have more news.
