And they arrived! Just got them... and one dice is missing Sad
I got all I asked for... but one of the d6 (silver + red, Fumbbl-logo at the '6' wasn't in the envelope... who should cares about stuff like that?

Thanks to all the organizers of this amazing dice party,

Here are my first rolls:
1st set of blockdice: push, push, skull
2nd set of blockdice: pow/push, pow/push, skull
4 black d6: (fumbbl)1,2,3,4
1(!) silver d6: 5
2 d8: 2,8
2 d16: 13,14

i think my rng is broken Smile

p.s. and yes, the yellow really ain't perfect... looks like they didn't worry that much about a clean area when the paint was drying... some dust and particles in the coulour, and it looks like it was touched before it dried totally.... but damn it, those guys are handpainted, so that was a risk we had to take. is there a chance to get the exact colours to repair them on my own?

Datmonsta, sorry about the missing red d6! That is totally my fault! I must have gotten blurry vision after packing hundreds of orders! The rest of the stock is heading to Christer, he will be able to get that last die to you! Smile

SunDevil, thats okay, no problem...

You must have packed thousands of dice, so it is no wonder that small mistakes happen.
I'll pm Christer about the dice.
Thx for all the effort you gave to this project!

There is. We had to use non-custom colours to keep costs down and ensure consistency. The colours are Valspar premium enamel for plastics (this is the link for the spray cans of the same paint.). The yellow is Gloss Gold Abundance and the blue is Gloss Exotic Sea.

Hope that helps.

I reflect to varnish my dices because I think that the paint risks to be deteriorate soon. Has anybody experiment it ?

Sending out one order that was returned, one order that was in the wrong category, and the box of the remaining loot to Christer today!

Other than the huge tax headache this became, this ends my part of the project. Thanks to everyone who supported FUMBBL dice and long live BB!

Wonder if it was my pack of dicey goodness that was returned?
Is it best for those of us without dice to contact Christer?

It was a Denmark order if that helps?

Yes, Christer is the man from here on in.

For now, I have not received the remaining merchandise, so please hold contacting me. It can take 3-4 weeks for some packages to arrive, so I am hoping that most of the packages arrive before I get the box of remaining merchandise from Chance.

Just stay cool and wait for the front page news item before you start asking me about missing packages. I can't do anything at the moment, since the box is just about to be sent to me as I type this Smile

Thank you guys for your patience!

I recived mine and I was glad they did not get stuck in Serbian custums. (I have previously a Bjj Kimono stuck for 6th month there) Jevulen I looked at my dice today too and they where not perfect. paint spilling over the the etched areas and some random paint blobs on the dice and even one on the poker chip. There was allso a hair stuck in the paint one of the pows.

I pulled the hair out of my dice paint and started scraping with a fingernail at the paint blobs then at the paint who where outside the etched areas. After that some polishing with a thumb my dice where just fine and dandy. If you are not happy with your dice I suggest scraping some witha fingernail.

Thank you for some really nice dice!

Glad you were able to fix them up, Qaz!

Christer - they went out on the 2nd and I was told 6-10 days until they get to you. Though, with the value I had to declare and the insurance, you may need to get ready to wrestle with customs. Smile

Got mine today (or yesterday i should say) in Germany.
German customs (Zoll) took so long to decide, that they can just let it pass...

On the dice: They look great! Thx for all the work behind the scenes.
Should have ordered more Poker chips, they are really fantastic.
