Ferg your the best.

For me personally the wait is nothing. In my opinion squadts are the coolest toys ever produced, so it really doesnt matter how long it takes for them to arrive. Its always worth it, and the quality and innovation always improves by leaps and bounds from one drop to the next. Thanks Ferg Very Happy

defcon Wed Sep 07, 2011 6:46 am

Got to agree with you, they're the coolest toy ever produced.

Mikeyk Wed Sep 07, 2011 6:58 am

I have said it so many times and I will say it many many more times, its always worth the wait. Thanks for all you do for us Ferg! clap

These pieces are manufactured exclusively with my HK partner Threezero. There are many reasons for this. I have a very long history with them and they are the only company that I trust to make the pieces as specified. Another reason is that no other company, that I personally know of, would run these low numbers with toys as complex as squadts, without the cost being completely prohibitive. And yet another very important reason, is the shipping set up. It's too long and boring to go into here but the fact that Threezero is willing to ship these all over the world is one of the main reasons squadts can exist.

The wait times are long because it takes time to get these pieces made, sorted, assembled, boxed and shipped. They are almost always in production when I put them up for sale, which helps shorten the delivery time, but sometimes things can come up that push production and interfere with a planned schedule. When this happens I try to keep you guys informed...but I could definitely improve in this area. I am super thankful that this community is so fucking cool and understanding of this aspect of the game. I only hope that when you receive the piece it was worth the wait.
If you ever have a question about the delivery or progress of your toys and you cant find the answer on the forums please shoot me an email. ferg@playge.net or info@projectsquadt.com

I think i speak for everyone on here - Squadts are TOTALLY worth waiting for. violent

And i agree , CaD fucking rocks. Keep it real ladies. What a Face

Ferg for president. afro

Kidding aside , are the retail nozzels getting close to being shipped?

Gimby Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:04 am

Well put Ferg!

apeboy Wed Sep 07, 2011 10:43 am

No explanation required Ferg....like others here I've ordered from 3A many times before so the wait times are pretty short for Squadt in comparison.
Besides, good things come to those who wait Smile

Thanks for the info Smile

Although there has been a short delay I think its seems longer because we fell for this little bugger back at the show so not the usual 6 to 8ish weeks of seeing and knowing its for sale more like 6 months.
You can always buy instant mass produced cheap crap instantly. Quality limited items at a reasonable price, a little more time is needed and as said many time before well worth the wait Very Happy

smokebelch Wed Sep 07, 2011 4:53 pm

Yeah, as others have pointed out the waits compared to 3A stuff is nothing Laughing

I think that we all know what the turn around times are on these guys and are happy to wait for the finished product- im relativly new to squats, but the quality has been top notch so far, and threezero are excellent offering the shipping as well. Always feel this is great when you consider that the shipping on these guys has got to cost a fair bit.
Only slightly frustrating thing would be that it would be nice to get a shipping mail once they have shipped out- with tracking number. Would take a bit of the drama out of the wait once they have entered the shipping process- as far as im aware this doesn't happen? At least i've never recieved a mail- and I know had the same issue with 3A orders as well. It may be that its not possible from threezero's end, but would be nice to have. But ultimatly its just down to impatience that im just so keen to get my squadt, and cant wait for his arrival Laughing

Well i just want to thank FERG and acknowledge that saying something and admitting faults is much better than letting a turd sit and fester. I really appreciate that explanation...shit happens, but making sure people feel validated goes a long way. Good on you mate... clap

CMB Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:02 pm

The wait for these sublime little buggers is not long at all, especially when you look at the quality of the product, which just keeps getting better by the way.

Collect and Destroy all motherf-ing day. I love you

Project Squadt rules. Thanks Fergmeister.

I don't know the other shipping. but from the moment my order is cleared it's like x-mas and then when it comes its like your b-day. Tell me theres not the side of you that gets a little excited when you get that package in your hand and open it. I don't see any problem with being happy. Ferg for Pres.

squirrel1777 Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:30 am

squirrel1777 Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:33 am
