Samples are in!

We are pleased to announce that the samples are in from the manufacturer. They are tremendous. They have an excellent weight to them and look fantastic. But don't take our word for it. See for yourself:

We have held off this update until we received the samples to show some progress. Unfortunately the samples are not quite right. The function is slightly degraded with the version the manufacture initially made. We are working diligently with the manufacturer to help rectify these functional problems. If you are wondering what problems we are referring to, the dice has slightly more difficulty laying on the top and bottom portions. Difficulty in that it's less stable than we'd have hoped.

The other problem with the samples is that the geometry was slightly altered during the process and we want to ensure that all faces are of equal size prior to moving forward with the production run (right now there is a slight size difference between the middle faces and the top/bottom faces).

The good news is that we have a few measures we are taking to rectify the issues. As of now it appears we will maintain our estimate for delivery. 
Our next steps include making sure that the geometry is correct (face sides are all of equal size), stability concerns solved, while also working on the post processing pad printing of the numbers on each face.
Until next time,
