Canadian and EU Rewards Update, FnordCon Event in Austin
about 2 years ago – Sat, Feb 12, 2022 at 02:41:50 AM

Two bits of news regarding international fulfillment:

  • The Canadian rewards are officially in Canada. Our partner there will label and ship the rewards just as soon as they can fit the project into their workflow. We'll post an update once we have confirmed that they have shipped the Canadian rewards.
  • EU rewards are packaged, stacked on pallets, and in the documents phase of the project. We have to coordinate shipping the pallets from Texas to a warehouse in the EU; the Warehouse 23 team is working on it and we'll post an update once the pallets have left our warehouse (which will buy us the space we need to proceed with packing international rewards).

FnordCon in Austin

Our convention, FnordCon, is coming to Austin in late April! Pre-registration is now open for the show and we plan to run several games, including Car Wars Sixth Edition events. Please check the page today for details and to pre-register for the show.

Canadian Fulfillment Update, EU Packing Is Next
about 2 years ago – Mon, Jan 31, 2022 at 03:43:02 AM

The Canadian rewards are now on their way to the fulfillment site. Warehouse 23 has continued all of the packing and shipped pallets of games to our Canadian partner last week; now we wait for those pallets to be received and then separate packages shipped to those of you in Canada. We do not have an exact schedule at the moment; we'll let you know what's happening once our fulfillment partner updates us on their part of the Canadian shipping.

Up next, the Warehouse 23 team is working on the EU rewards. Just as with the Canadian rewards, all packages will be prepared in our Austin office and then pallets of games shipped to a fulfillment partner. We will post an update once the EU rewards have left Warehouse 23. 

As to other regions, we're working on shipments one segment at a time. Thank you for your continued patience as we do everything we can to safely – and accurately – pack and ship your games.

Car Wars Pocket Box Bundles

If you're looking to complete your collection of Car Wars games and expansions from the eighties, then you'll want to check out the four Car Wars bundles we released on Warehouse 23 last week. These are factory-fresh replicas of several 1980s games and expansions -- including the classic plastic Pocket Box editions of Car Wars, Truck Stop, Crash City, and Boat Wars -- and it was thanks to the supporters of our Pocket Box Kickstarter a few years ago that these are now available. 

These are not compatible with Car Wars Sixth Edition, but they're sure to bring back memories if you're a Car Wars fan from way back. You can find all four bundles at Warehouse 23 today.

International Fulfillment Starts this Month and New Car Wars Playmat Pre-Orders at Warehouse 23
about 2 years ago – Tue, Jan 11, 2022 at 02:17:42 AM

Warehouse 23 reports that international fulfillment starts this month, with Canada the first region on the list. The team will pack and ship the rewards to a partner in Canada who will then forward the packages to backers. We do not know how long this will take; we'll post an update once the pallet has left our warehouse and is on the way to Canada.

Once Canada packages have left Warehouse 23, the team will start work on fulfillment of another region.

 Car Wars Dashboard Playmats

For those of you looking to upgrade your dashboard layouts, we've now got four new 14" x 24" Car Wars Sixth Edition playmats open for pre-order at Warehouse 23. Each has space for your cards, tokens, and the chipboard double-layer player dashes, helping you organize everything at the table. 

Pre-orders are expected to ship in March of 2022.

We're also offering a special price for pre-orders: $14.95 per dashboard playmat. Once we close pre-orders, the price will go to $19.95 for each of the four different playmats. You can place your pre-order today; we'll close pre-orders later this month or early next month.

U.S. Shipping Complete. Do You Need Help? Please Contact Us!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Dec 18, 2021 at 05:49:49 PM

First, thank you, everyone, for your patience on this project, it's been a very long road, but we have some big news. We believe US shipping has been completed!  A few things as we sign off for the holiday break:

  • If you created a ticket on help.sjgames.com about damage or missing components please bump your ticket so we can get those resolved in the new year. If you have not created a ticket, please go ahead and create one.
  • If you have rewards missing, please be patient. Some packages just went out today so it may be a while before they show up at your door. If you are still missing parts of your reward by the end of January please let us know.

International Shipping Update!

We will start on International shipping once the warehouse is finished with the end-of-year process. We will post an update when we start. (In January.)

Again we thank you all for your patience. This has been a long process but we can see the end in sight.

Happy Autodueling!

Shipping Update, PAX, Pre-Orders Open this Weekend, and an STL Experiment
over 2 years ago – Sat, Dec 11, 2021 at 08:18:53 PM

As of this morning, the Warehouse 23 team reports that they're down to the last 233 U.S. backers and then U.S. fulfillment will be complete. The crew still plans to finish shipping all U.S. rewards before the end of this month, with international fulfillment set to start in 2022.

PAX Unplugged

If you're at the convention this weekend, please drop by booth #2934 where we'll be running Car Wars Sixth Edition demos. (And showing a few other games, of course.)

Car Wars Sixth Edition Pre-Orders

In celebration of the PAX Unplugged show, we've reopened Car Wars Sixth Edition pre-orders at our online store, Warehouse 23. Please note that playmats are not available for pre-order; we want to finish fulfillment before opening up any remaining playmats for sale. Pre-orders are set to close early on Monday, so please act fast if you wanted to lock down any of the expansions or accessories for the game. Pre-orders ship in 2022.

The Fantasy Trip Foes Coming to Kickstarter

On Monday, we're launching our first Kickstarter campaign to bring 3d resin printer miniatures to tabletops everywhere. The Fantasy Trip Foes is an STL experiment of sorts; we'll take what we learn from this campaign and possibly approach other STL projects in the future. And yes, it is possible that we'll create and release STL files for completely new Car Wars Sixth Edition miniatures . . . but it is way too soon to make any plans on that front. To receive an email notification when the Foes campaign launches, please click the "notify me" button on this page.

(If you want to know what equipment and accessories we used to print the minis shown in the project, please see this post at thefantasytrip.game website.)
