And then...And Then......And then.???

Dude Why the odd reply? Never stated anything about a record. Only wondering why? someone already got to pre-order with that short of time on the wait list
That's all.

It wasn't an odd reply. OF was just telling' ya that there are many that are behind you and that in relative terms, you're position in the queue is not as bad as some others.

I ordered an Early Bird within minutes of their campaign starting, then several days (weeks?) later I added the colored Ti unit. Hopefully (surely!) I won't have to wait till my colored Ti unit is ready to get my Early Bird unit.

At this point I'd probably cash in the WPA I ordered for some spare batteries.

Perhaps I should inquire with Trevor about these things...

Edit: I sent an email to Trevor. Doubt I'll get a response before the next scheduled update.

You know guys, I'm still not shure that this is not a hoax. That video does not seem real. I think it was one of the employees with cgi or bmx or something. I know it seems outlandish that this guy could pump out smoke for 3 minutes straight, but I have been trying myself and have gotten to 25 seconds more than ten times today so that means its true.

Man I don't even know if we are getting pens, maybe we are getting pencils.

I just invented and am manufacturing a new 3rd party attachment - The Snake Oil diffuser.. hahahaha Guaranteed to make you feel dumb as a skunk! Invest now or lose your seat on the waiting list (snort)...

Will there still be an update tomorrow?

I figure there is a good chance it might not happen tomorrow with the holiday and all. But just assumed if not it will come on the second.

...many businesses' pre-load their newsletters into a queue a day or more before they are sent out...so, no reason they couldn't be working on the update today and just program it to be released tomorrow evening for everyone... :tup:

"Hey Everyone,

We hope you’ve all had a great holiday season! We’ve been working to complete and test production grasshoppers and coordinate with our manufacturers on logistics. You may have seen some of the new parts that arrived in time for our mid-December updates.

The last batch of parts to come in before the new year included much of what we were waiting for. The Body, Front End, Cone, Chamber, Forward Board Mount and Extension have all arrived. We got to work checking the dimensions and tolerances. Things are looking good.

The Cone helps manage the thermal load within the Grasshopper.

The Forward Board Mount also came out well. This is the battery contact and mounting bracket for the front PCB.

This shows the Extension, Forward Board Mount and Front PCB in the steps of assembly.

The Front End had one small problem involving the number of threads on the inside. This error causes a small seam between the Front End and the Body which you can see in the picture above.

With these parts in, we were able to assemble what will essentially be the production Grasshopper. The test video released last month shows one of the new Grasshoppers in action. While we are very pleased with the results thus far, there are a few small tweaks that need to be made. The Front End needs to have the number of internal threads increased, the finish on the Back End does not match the Body, and the charger needs a few adjustments.

With so much of the Grasshopper ready right now, many of you are wondering when you will be getting yours. We are working in small batches, so shipping will begin slowly and pick up speed as things get rolling. We could start shipping almost immediately, but we need to make those few small changes first. We’re almost there.

Be sure to check the last 2 updates if you missed them. Another update will be coming on the 15th.

You're quick, just finished reading it and went to post but ya beat me to it! :D

Things sound pretty good for the first update of 2105! They seem really dedicated to getting it just right before actually shipping out. It sounds like mostly cosmetic things to tweak at this point.

Still no date. How long will it take to adjust those two parts?! No clue after that update.

And what about that cône? How does it fit in the front end ? No clue either.

by my calculations.. if that was posted yesterday the update should be today!
Doesn't apply to me as I live in Belgium they are two days late. :-p

I contributed on 11/14/13, looks like some of us Early Birds may have our hoppers soon! The tweeks they mentioned don't seem that complicated. It gives me confidence that they are taking time to get it right before they release the first units.

"so shipping will begin slowly and pick up speed as things get rolling. We could start shipping almost immediately, but we need to make those few small changes first. We’re almost there."

Sounds soon, not an exact date but still....

Looks like the cone would fit to me.

Always go by the time frame the people making it are in, not your own :-P.

No doubt it will fit but I was wondering if it'll fall. Is it a mobile part? Sorry for my poor english. It's not easy to explain with my vocabulary.

Soon, yeah, soon. Nothing stellar about this update, other than yet another set of excuses. Trevor's got a great little scam going here... Post some photos and promise it'll be soon every other week - and then rake in more dollars on "pre-orders", giving the gravy train a new round of life.

mod note: Seems you forgot to actually read the rules you agreed to, when you registered today. Product and company bashing isn't allowed.
