    Got back to a few more this evening, and a few more boxes are going out tomorrow! The list has been updated to remove sold/on hold items! Apologies once again to those of you still waiting - @ExiaDefensor, everything you asked for is still available, I just haven't gotten there yet!

    If anyone is doubting things are moving, feel free to check my feedback post! New feedback has been going up slowly but surely! Just trying to get through a ton of asks while working a full-time job and keeping up a life outside of work and this!

    :lol 

    Another night, another few boxes put together, and another few new requests I've gotten back to people on. I should have more time this weekend to work through things, and I'm mostly done with the initial rush of big orders, so that should let me get back to more and more of the smaller orders. For those interested to know what's taking so long, essentially this has been a bit like figuring out a jigsaw puzzle: Everyone wants several things, but the things everyone wants overlap with what everyone else wants! So, if you haven't heard from me, it's either because you only want one or two things, or because a number of the things you want are included in requests from one or more other people who asked at around the same time as you and I'm trying to settle those before I get back to you!

    There are a few people where everything they're asking about is gone already - where that's happened, I've mostly been able to let those people know!

    Congratulations to @EvoJenius, who is the 100th separate request I've received!

    Got back to a ton of people this weekend. There are a few people I'm waiting to hear back from, and that's driving some of the remaining delay. The list has been updated to remove items that are sold, and mark items that are on hold. Progress is being made, and this next week is looking quieter - hopefully that will mean more time to work through requests!

    Are you going to update your list with what you have left? I'm assuming the Fort Max has been sold. It'd be helpful to us buyers if we knew exactly what has been sold and what's left.

    Agreed. I go through the list every now and then, and still see items that make me go “There is no way in hell that one hasn’t sold!!” I’m convinced the few I wanted still listed are long gone lol

    He updates it everytime he says he updates it. There's been plenty that's been striked out and/or removed already.

    I don’t think it’s so much a “Does he update it?”, because he does, on occasion, and the inventory certainly changes. I believe the real ask is “Is everything showing for sale right now actually available to be purchased still? Or is it long gone and the list hasn’t been updated yet?” As some have mentioned, the idea of a $120 Fort Max not being one of the items to go, after a month of being out in the open with vultures circling it, is a tough one. I made my peace with this thread a while back, so I’m no competition to anyone here, I simply want to see if the story has an ending.

    I mean...

    While he might miss an item or two on occasion, I would assume, with the number of messages and offers he has, he's kept realistically on top of it all, so...

    Good things may indeed come to those who wait, I sincerely hope they do. For others, don’t put your eggs all in one basket and best of luck in your other searches.

    Given his prior posts he updates every time a large group is completed with a large amount of items the crossed out.

    Hey - sorry guys. In general, I update the list every time a box goes out (big or small). I've had several offers on Fort Max, and everything has so far fallen through. For those of you who feel my prices are too low... See previous offer for a one-time -10% off! ;) 

    Responded to a bunch more messages tonight. I know it's been a while for some of you... I'm trying to go roughly in order of asking, but with a bias toward people who have larger asks (it's just easier for me to ship several things vs. a single item). The rate of requests has slowed, though, so things should move a little faster over the next couple of weeks!

    If someone messaged twice.... Hypothetically... Did that knock them back in line because the most recent message is newer? Lol

    Doesn't hurt, but definitely doesn't help. I've got a big spreadsheet of everyone who's sent me a request (since I'm up to 120+ at this point, it's the only way I can keep track of the overlaps!), so I'm painfully aware if I haven't gotten back to you yet - trust me, I want y'all's money just as much as y'all want my toys!

    Updated the list again tonight. Fort Max is finally looking like it'll be sold, so apologies to anyone who was waiting on that one. Several more boxes going out tomorrow, and I responded to a good ~8 people tonight (as well as sending notes to a bunch of people whose asked-for item(s) is/are no longer available!).

    As I've said all too often over the last month, thank you all for your continued patience!
