Mini Euro production started late last week and there is a preliminary sample pic shown below.  They just informed me that the run is now complete and I will go pick some up tomorrow and invoicing/shipping will follow shortly. Very excited to be on the final stretch for these!  

Shipping Update – (US) Standard and Mini American backers should all be invoiced for shipping now.  Let us know in Kickstarter Messaging if you did not see yours come through.  We can send you a direct link. 

We will continue to invoice international orders until we have enough for a first bulk shipment.   

Zen Bins

Just received an update from the manufacturer that the Mini American molds should finish cutting over the weekend and the Mini Euro cutting will start immediately after.  They expect the standard card holder production to begin next week as well.

US Backers (shipping) –  We will begin packing and weighing Standard only orders since those will be ready to ship very shortly after production.  We will also be partial packing orders with Mini American/Euro trays as well.    We will do all we can to get these sent to you asap since that is one thing in our control.  Keep an eye out for the Paypal shipping invoice after we update you on production completion, as this will mean your order is ready to ship as soon as payment is received.   When you receive the invoice, this is also your last chance to let us know if any address changes are needed.

International Backers (shipping) – We will be packing and invoicing these orders as well but they will go out in 1 (or possibly) 2 large batches.  Keep an eye out for the Paypal shipping invoice after we update you on production completion, as this will mean your order is ready to ship.  The sooner paid, the better your chance of being in the first batch of shipping.

Paypal invoices – Please private message us through Kickstarter if any questions or changes are needed when you receive them and before paying.  This will also be a good final confirmation of your order.

Thank you all for your patience with all the delay time we have experienced and we can’t wait to get these to you!

Zen Bins

We have been notified by our manufacturer that they plan to run the token trays during the week of September 24 – 29.  The 3 production runs for the card trays will be next up.  We will post when they give a date for those as well.  Late pledges will be up for just a little while longer.

Limited Quantities – Miniature Market has restocked their supply of Dice Masters™ Compatible Transparent Smoke Zen Bins Trays.  They also have Smoke Colored Lid 3-Packs.

For a limited time you can Late Pledge the Kickstarter for Zen Bins Quick Draw Card Holders.  You will receive all the same stretch goals as in the campaign.  Estimated Shipping in September 2018.

Our Zen Bins product line is now fully restocked at Chaos Cards as of 1/12/18.  Zen Bins Rebellion, Zen Bins Destiny, Zen Bins compatible with Dice Masters®, and our new 2-in-1 Token Storage.

We just produced another run of Dice Masters® compatible storage 3-pack clear trays and they are now for sale at Miniature Market and soon to others.

Our next run for Zen Bins Rebellion (base game) is planned for early January 2018.  We are still evaluating the Rise of the Empire expansion insert plans.

Zen Bins Destiny Update

We hope you all are enjoying your Destiny storage and helping to spread the word about them. If you need more when Empire at War releases (probably in September), Look to some of our online retailers or you can have your local game shops send in a request at www.zenbins.com. Thank you all again for making these a great success!

Gen Con

We are very much looking forward to the 50th anniversary of Gen Con and a sold out venue this year. Also, we are debuting our new 2-in-1 Token Trays at the Miniature Market booth #2703. These are small 3x3x1.5″ containers to hold your tokens/resources for your favorite games. If you don’t have a chance to get some there, they will also be coming to retail soon after the convention.

Features include:

• Tokens can be split up and used in the lid and base for each side of table to use.
• Rounded edges for easy removal
• Sturdy anti-crush design
• Stackable (non-locking)

Future Projects

We plan to check out/demo the hot new games and take stock of great potential candidates for future storage solutions. Let us know if you see any that stand out to you as well.  We’ll pick up a copy of the Rebellion expansion: Rise of the Empire to see how to best incorporate that with our existing storage solution.

International Shipping

Our second round of international shipping went out this past week.  From the first round we have several orders that still have not arrived or were marked as undeliverable. If you have not received your order or contacted us about it yet, please send us a Kickstarter message.  Our shipping company said that sometimes the orders can get held up in customs and can take up to 2 months to arrive in these cases.  If not received by the 25th of this month, we will consider those undeliverable as well. At that point we may just refund the orders.

Thanks,

Brian Evans – Zen Bins
