From the Dreadball Kickstarter page:And they are through on the strike zone!
Update #95 · Nov. 23, 2012
We are getting close to the goal – that goal obviously being the dispatch of over 2500 Kickstarter pledges!
The first of our Kickstarter pledges will start shipping next week, and with the 8 MVPs (the final components) arriving as well we will start shipping Strikers a week on Monday!

The next piece of exciting news is that we saved enough copies of the game to ship all of the Kickstarter Pledges scheduled for January ahead of Christmas. They will now ship at the same time as everyone else’s Kickstarter rewards.
Just to keep you informed we will be shipping out distributor orders next week as well, so if any are super quick they may hit shelves next Saturday - but they should be arriving at the same time as yours the following week - though obviously without the MVPs and the other goodies you’ll all have in your first shipment! We needed to get the trade orders sent in parallel if they were to get into the retail outlets for Christmas - we think this will bring lots more people into the game - and means lots more games, tournaments and events throughout 2013!
We would have liked to have got you the first shipment earlier but as we discussed in Update 94, we thought you’d prefer all 8 of the MVPs in the first shipment rather than the second shipment in Q2 2013. Retailers won’t actually see the first four MVPs until the end of December and the remaining four until the end of January - so you will have 8 of the first 9 MVPs a month ahead of the rest! But in the few occasions that they do hit the stores before you get yours thanks for your patience and understanding.

We’ve got a couple more exciting things in that first package which we’ll share with you next week. Starting on the 1st December we’re also going to be running the 12 Sculpts of Christmas, alternating the kickstarter with our Kings of War Kickstarter Campaign by showing off lots of new figures that are coming off the sculptors' desks, and we've got some new events to talk lots about as well - please stay tuned to the updates page, sign up to our newsletter and like us on Facebook to keep up-to-date with the going-ons at the Mantic Bunker!
