I have a problem with him as someone taking people's money in return for a product that was mismanaged from the first word he wrote on a page until now. How much money he needed to create and ship these books should have been figured out before starting a crowdfunding campaign, and he failed. That's my problem. Again, I appreciate what YOU are doing.

Fair enough. Like I said, I understand the frustration.

Your plan looks on point rich. Glad to see this undertaking in capable hands! Great idea to have the remaining art fund some general shipping, I hope you get to keep a page or two as a reward for all your hard work on this!

More importantly I hope rich doesn't make too much of a loss from spending his own money to get these books to him and then ship them out. Hopefully whatever extra art pieces he sells will give him back whatever the expenses are.

TMNT ODYSSEY SHIPPING INITIATIVE Update:

I plan to be sending out an information email very soon to all backers that will detail how things are going to work. This plan should hopefully meet the needs and wants of everyone that backed this project. Here's what I'm planning for this shipping initiative. Feel free to let me know your thoughts or ask any questions before I send this out to all backers sometime this coming week.

There are going to be four phases to the TMNT Odyssey shipping initiative:

- PHASE 1 - IMMEDIATE SHIPPING OF TMNT ODYSSEY BOOKS (requires additional payment for actual shipping costs) - when I get the books in-hand (likely middle of this week) people that want their copy NOW and don't want to wait for PHASE 4 can pay the actual costs of shipping (varies by country) directly to me and I'll ship thier book immediately.

- PHASE 2 - TMNT ODYSSEY ORIGINAL ART PAGE DISTRIBUTION TO BACKERS - backers that pre-purchased TMNT Odyssey original art pages will get to select their art page. These backers can choose one of two options for shipping of their artwork: 1) Pay extra for the actual shipping costs and get the artwork (and Odyssey book) NOW or; 2) Pay nothing extra and wait on PHASE 3 to fund the PHASE 4 shipping of their artwork (and Odyssey book). PHASE 2 will begin when I have the remaining original art pages in-hand. I'm working on getting the art right now but I don't yet have an ETA on this. I'll be requesting those that backed an original art tier on Indiegogo or pre-purchased art via PayPal to send me any confirmation details about their purchase to ensure I have an accurate list of art backers / buyers. In addition, this confirmation will help me to determine artwork selection priority - backers/buyers will get to select their page(s) in order of when they bought or backed.

- PHASE 3 - TMNT ODYSSEY ORIGINAL ART PAGE SALES - after PHASE 2 backers have selected their artwork, all remaining art pages will be sold starting at $125 per page + Actual Shipping & Packaging Costs (TBD). All proceeds from PHASE 3 Art Page Sales will go towards funding the shipping costs of the remaining TMNT Odyssey books (PHASE 4).

- PHASE 4 - ONGOING SHIPPING OF TMNT ODYSSEY BOOKS AND ORIGINAL ART - as funds come in from PHASE 3, TMNT Odyssey books (and any reamining PHASE 2 art pages) will be shipped out based on date of purchase. Time frame for both the start and completion of this phase is not known since it totally relies on 1) getting the art pages in hand and 2) the quantity of art pages sold. I know some people have offered to privately contribute funds toward this phase through donations. However, in the interest of making sure everything is transparent with this initiative, I think it might be best to first see if PHASE 3 sales can meet the needs of PHASE 4 before we go that route...but I'm open to discussion on this.

As an added bonus, I'm providing links to the following items that can be downloaded. These links will also be provided in the email I'll send out to all backers.

TMNT Odyssey download (PDF) - the full TMNT Odyssey book

TMNT Odyssey Script download (PDF) - the script Andrew wrote for TMNT Odyssey; Jim Lawson and a few other artists used this script as their guide

Any thoughts? Questions?

When you get the artwork let me know and I will pay for shipping of my artwork and 2 books. Thanks for your help.

PM sent for some info. Thx!

Is there anyway to determine the order of who gets to pick the art work? I think I was the second backer at that level.

The only way I'll have to determine priority of artwork selection is by the date on which the artwork was backed / ordered. I'll be asking everyone that purchased artwork to send me the details of their purchase so I can set selection priority. First, however, I need to ensure I've accounted for everyone that bought art. All of this will be addressed in the email I send out this week to all backers.

As a side note, look what arrived in my mail today...

Anyone else excited?

*Jephael* · 03-07-2016, 02:17 PM

See that, Jeff? Everything's working out, so...

*CyberCubed* · 03-07-2016, 02:28 PM

Wow, rich got the books faster than expected.

Let's celebrate by having a little fun. First Odyssey backer to guess (and post) the exact weight of the TMNT Odyssey book itself (in ounces... for example 1.1 oz.) gets this first one (shown below) mailed to them at my cost...anywhere in the world.

GO!

funatic · 03-07-2016, 03:50 PM

Danakin · 03-07-2016, 03:55 PM

My first guess was going to be 13.4.

joe-eyeball · 03-07-2016, 04:02 PM

If second guesses are allowed then I'll go with 14.7 ounces.
