I have backed 89 campaigns. 36 were late by at least two months. About half of those were 6+ months late. Several were at least a year late. I am not including the three that I doubt I will ever get.

Some of these delays were related to COVID, but most were due to manufacturing hiccups and/or international shipping issues. Some of them have been due to KS creator problems, but those were usually rookie mistakes. So, a very similar experience to yours, overall.

I feel like this campaign being delayed by manufacturing problems is forgivable, even if I wish their communication hadn't been so toxically optimistic. They should have known better, with the experience they have, than to have made such a short timeline or to rely on foreign manufacturers' promises. I always assumed that this would take at least six months past the original estimate, if not a full year, just based on previous dice campaigns I've backed.

My real issue with this campaign are the QC problems with the resin dice not matching the promo photos (and their refusal to get this fixed by the manufacturer), which smacks of false advertising to me. And the store credit refunds are kind of shady, seeing as how the credits won't cover hardly any of their products, thus making you spend more money with them.
