An unpaid waiting list obviously doesn’t demand the same expectations as a prepaid order. Have you had any communication since you paid?

just to hammer out loose details. i can if want though and would get a prompt reply. company has been in business since the 80's.
 
Curious if anyone has heard additional news on the move or when orders may start up again. The official notice on the website hasn't changed since this spring, and don't want to be the 1000th person asking the same question in their email...

Only notice from @David Spragg was that all outstanding orders made before the April deadline would be completed in house using the same old methods & equipment before the move to the new owner/production site. I feel that will still be quite a months out (with no inside knowledge) just from amounts of orders I personally know are still outstanding from other members (HHR's everybody....). Whether the new owner is going to open up orders sooner and fulfill later is going to be up to @CPC_Mike

LFG! Really hope they are finally done with CSQ…
 
Then why are more people not posting their CSQ or A Mold sets arriving ?!

I'm not sure order date is a factor, or at least a large factor (other than possibly informing mold order). I'd imagine colors might be the biggest variable for production scheduling still within a given mold run. Per a 2007 interview w/ Jim Blanchard of ASM:

The colors are made from formulas that were handed down and they are basically unchanged, probably since the 1960's or 70's. For the last 40 years we've been making the same colors. We've actually introduced very few new colors, because literally...we already make too many colors. There is a logistic problem with having so many colors. It's one of the reasons why we get bogged down with orders so often. People don't realized, for instance, every one of those colors has to be made from scratch. We only make about one color a day, since we make it in quantities. We have over twenty colors. Now, that means if you order a red chip with a combination of two color spot of a lavender and a green...if we don't have all three colors, sometimes your chip could have been done in a week's time but we don't have that little lavender spot and we're not going to make lavender for the next two weeks, because we circle around where the greatest orders are. If we have a lot of [orders for] red, and we're out of red we're going to make red sooner than we are going to make lavender. So your lavender spot might not be made for two or three weeks, and it's going to hold up your order. This is one of the logistic problems we always deal with. Sometimes, if we get an order where someone orders 30,000 red chips, we might have to roll red for three days, just to get enough red to produce that order. So, it's things like that, which quite often hold up orders that people don't understand why. Many times people will have a 300-chip order, we will have two of the chips done, ready to go. Yet, we're held up on the third chip therefore the order is being held up for one color. Sometimes we can't make that color for two weeks. So that order literally sits on the shelf for two weeks for the lack of one lavender spot color. But, there's no other way to do it. We have to complete the order in total, in order to ship it. Sometimes it gets literally, we'll get down to one color that we don't have that holds up an order.

My first EWING final proof received (Jolly Roger) Even if a while out, exciting to see moving!

Yep, seems like wheels are in motion on multiple fronts now. Probably have much smaller orders on all molds after CSQ although Ewing probably got its fair share since it was brought out of casino exclusivity.

Just to know the proof from David is with the Ewing mold or another mold ? (as the Ewing mould is not in the tool)
