My understanding and impression is that between the 1st person in the 1st twenty and the last person in the next 80, the waiting time would/should not be that long, especially since the target is to release 3 puzzles a year. Hopefully past lessons have been learnt. Everyone who has paid for a Voyager Status (limited to 100) will, upon payment get a new puzzle at some point. As Sophie has emailed me:-Dorothea wrote:I think producing and sending in batches is more effective than waiting for all 100 puzzles to pile up at revo HQ before sending them out.
As the numbers are fixed nobody will have a "first batch set" advantage, its even possible to get a product with problems that are fixed later.
Every customer with Voyager Status and who purchases Venus will receive it, as with Mercury the earliest orders will be in the first batch and every order after this will be in date order with the first person to pre-order receiving the puzzle first and the last person to order to receive it last
Personally I would rather not be in the 1st batch (for problem testing). I would rather receive a puzzle later that is totally free of problems (assuming should there indeed be problems discovered in the 1st 20).
