Plant and harvest crops for fun and profit! Failing that, steal or blow up your neighbor's crops instead. That'll show 'em!

Io Farmers,
The proofs are indeed here, and are the right size!
Frankencrops on the left
Livestocked on the left
That means the expansions will be shipped to our warehouse in about a month, and then on to you!
CHANGE OF ADDRESS NEEDED? If you've moved (or are about to), we'll have an update later this week just for you to help collect that information.
Best, Phil

Io Farmers,
We're expecting Livestocked & Loaded and the FrankenCrops to arrive by mid-to-late December. We'll have a BackerKit survey link for you by early next week to recapture your address (as we've received many emails from folks about moving and needing to update addresses). This will keep the data clean and ensure folks won't be missed for the send out.
Final FINAL stretch, everyone! OH YES.
Best, Phil

Io Farmers,
The third set of proofs should arrive by tomorrow! I'll get pics for all y'all up when they show up.
If you've moved, I'll start a specific update to collect that information as it gets closer to shipping out to ya.
Best, Phil
Proof #2 arrived; too small. Will be at Gen Con, as well.

Io Farmers,
The second physical proof arrived, and it was a millimeter too small in each direction.
I contacted the printer to let them know, and the measurements of their copy were exactly what I gave them (2 7/16 x 3 7/16). I pulled out a different ruler than what I'd been using and re-measured the cards myself, and they were the exact measurements I gave the printer.
Turns out the ruler I've been using was a school ruler where there's a bit of a gap before the measurement properly starts (about 1mm, it turns out). >: /
So, second cut being wrong is my fault thanks to a crappy ruler (which has since been thrown away).
We're goin' for a third proof, and the card size will be based on a sample of Farmageddon I'm going to give to the printer at Gen Con later this week. The size will be *exactly* correct. As always, I'll keep you posted with news of production.
Also, as mentioned above, I will be at Gen Con this week and will have the physical proofs of L&L and the FrankenCrops with me if you wanna check 'em out. Keep an eye on Twitter @5thstreetgames for my whereabouts throughout the weekend. (I'll also have stuffs I'm givin' away, too...)
Best, Phil
Physical proofs arrived, will have to wait for new physical proof, and BackerKit

Io farmers,
The physical proofs for Livestocked & Loaded and the FrankenCrops Kicker Pak have arrived! The colors are good, and the card counts are all correct... but they're a skosh too big by 1/16" all around. This would make them marked cards in the decks, unfortunately. (I double-checked by shufflin', and the size difference even makes it tougher to shuffle.)
Unfortunately, this means we gotta wait for a revised proof for another few weeks as QPC pumps out a new one for us. Fortunately, they're gonna fix it for us, and get it to us in the correct size.
As we have this entire time, we'll keep you posted as to when the new proofs are on their way. We're in the final stretch, folks... then you'll all have yer expansions!
In regard to delivery, we'll be linking with BackerKit to recapture your addresses in case any of you have moved (which is likely... even I've moved). I'll be posting that next week.
