Please tell me when you have made the new banners and I will place a cape order which I can pay along with the shipping for the draft parts

...Which will be AFTER all of the other orders have shipped, right? Sorry, not trying to be pushy, but in my industry we have a saying that "the squeaky wheel gets the grease", ie, if I keep pestering you, you'll be sure to remember to get the orders sent out when you next have free time instead of watching a movie or designing a new cape. So grease that squeaky wheel so I can go find someone else to pester

Ok rbc, please stick to this. Also shoot me my tracking info as soon as you have it. We have all been very patient and understand that school comes first. But as of now several time lines have been sunk. I am dissapointed to say the least.
Please stick to your new comitment and shoot me tracking so I know when to keep an eye out.

So, is it safe to say that all packages will be shipped by Thursday, with the exception of Gideon's? It is OK to say "no" if you can't do it by then, but I would like to know what your current timeline is. I am going to say Friday evening, but definitely Saturday afternoon at the latest! That will give me an extra day- a day and a half to "wind" down" from nearly 40+ hours of studying over the last 4 days. ~RBC RBC, you have got to be kidding me... You said the same thing last week and yet you still didn't get anything out until Ludzik complained and had to put on his managerial hat. We shouldn't all have to do this to get results...but here we go again. For starters. You need to dedicate a period of time a day for studying. This will increase you results. Spending your whole day studying will not always grant you sufficient knowledge retention. Instead you should create breaks. During those points, you should focus on getting those packages in the mail during standard Postal Business hours and stop postponing things. The longer you do that the harder it will be to focus and study with anger members on your back hounding you. So I would suggest you mail everything (with exception to Gideon's items) right away regardless of what your day and time looks like. School doesn't take your whole life or day away as Ludzik pointed out by working a 40hour + job a week while doing his undergrad/masters. Guess what. I did the same as him for both my degrees and PM work, so the point of the matter is you need to stop using your studying and education as an excuse for delays...its not a valid excuse since most of us know and understand better than others how much time a student actually has. So my suggestion. Make time! Get this stuff out and then focus on your life. If you want tips on study plans, etc or methods to better time manage let me know.

RBC, please review the google doc - I created a separate tab that shows what I received and what I should have received. There are two items that I am short on the whole set (I figure it's that hole in the side). Others there is an issue with the item counts - both overages and shortages.

*AK_Brickster puts on administrative hat*
Ludzik, please send me the link to that spreadsheet so that I can monitor this situation.
RBC, I appreciate that you are in a tough spot here. These people do not want to have to be nagging about this, but they have essentially "paid" you to run this, by sending you what is cumulatively several hundred dollars worth of Lego, so it's understandable that the participants are getting frustrated.
Everyone, please refrain from additional comments/PMs to RBC on this issue. We don't need to beat this to death. He is aware that you are all frustrated and I am keeping VERY close tabs on this thread to monitor progress. If you have additional complaints, please feel free to send me a PM and I will convey them to RBC.
Thanks,
- Managment

UPDATE:
Last night was very successful (draft-wise)! I have about 3-4 lots left to add to both Yorick and Excalibur's packages. lilcurt's is about 1/2-3/4 of the way packed (I only spent about 15 minutes packing his so far). mattiusxavier's is about 1/3-1/2 of the way packed. I can take a picture of all of the (final) packages before I ship them, but at this point I am not going to unpack stuff to take "contents" pictures. Also, all overages between 1 and 5 parts are intentional (and are part of my thank you gift to you). If you have shortages of a specific part please contact either AK_Brickster or myself ( RBCustoms) ASAP, so that I can get replacements. Because I parted out my own copy of MS, there were shortages in both these categories by 1 part. -Brick-built Mirkwood Spider (see instructions for list of parts used to build each spider) . - Several minifigure parts from the Mirkwood Spiders set. I will look through my collection for the parts (especially the minifigure parts) but worst-come-to-worst, I will ship out the packages and then order the missing parts from BL. That way you guys don't have to wait for all your parts, just becuase there is 1-2 missing parts. As long as i have 2-3 (maybe 4) hours of uninterrupted time this weekend, everything will get done. I am making it my #1 priority to get this stuff done. Thanks again for your patience. ~RBC

AK_Brickster, mattiusxavier, lilcurt, Yorick, Gideon, and ludzikAnd...we're done! Going to take the rest of the packages (except Gideon's) to either my mailbox or the post office, in about 20 minutes (after I take a shower)! Once you get your packages please notify me if you have any shortages. Don't worry about the overages, those are all yours. ~RBC
