Does the order you list for things sent to the printer give an indication on how close they are to being sent to GtG?
edit: Also, thanks for the update Paul.

Bottom of the Ninth is scheduled to ship on the 15th of this month, but everything else will ship at the same time in the same container regardless of which particular items are done first.

Thanks for the update Paul. lots to look forward to. question then. based off your above statement the Compounded Reprint will be shipped in the same container as the Villians of the multiverse, which means these should be able to be shipped at the same time. If I am able to is there a way to add this to that particular order to save on shipping?
p.s. looking forward to playing the maps and everything else. Also looking forward to the next Greater than Games game day you guys may have at HQ or the surrounding St. Louis area. *hint hint* Hopefully its a day that I can make it.
My wife thinks Sentinels is ruining our marriage. I think she doesnt know what shes talking about because she wont sit down to play it

Compounded is actually printed at a completely different factory from SotM stuff. SotM stuff comes out of Shanghai, whereas Compounded (and a few other things, like Bottom of the Ninth) come out of Shenzen.

Thank you for the update, Paul.
I'll add my voice to the thanks - I feel like this level of detailed updates isn't something you have to do, Paul, and you're doing mostly because we asked. It's fascinating to get some more insight into the whole process!

Wait, the oversized villain cards confuse me. It says that there are 31. Don't we already have more than 31 villains? I thought that this would include all villains, even those yet to come. Does that mean this is the last expansion? Tell me it is not so!
It doesn't include oversized villain cards for expansions that have them by default like Vengeance or VotM. What comes after VotM is sprculated to be the final expansion.

Fixed that for you, per stuff Christopher said in Gen Con-ish interviews.
Oh I'm aware of that piece I just don't want to fully believe it.

Would love some news on when VivaJava the Dice Game will be reprinted and what changes will be made. I've been holding off on buying a copy of the first edition and not sure how much longer my willpower will hold out :)
We certainly plan to have it back in print some time the first half of next year, but I don't have much more info than that right now.

Paul -
I'm considering (very strongly) putting Villains & associated mini-expansions onto my wishlist for the BGG Secret Santa. As it's now been roughly a month since this update was posted, do you have enough sense of timing to be able to tell me if it's likely to make it to St. Louis in time for that to be a viable decision?
Edit: I missed the 3-4 month from printer note. Question withdrawn.
Just saw the new tactic maps and minions figures at my flgs. I know he backed the kickstarter way back. So hopefully the preorders for th a t should be shipping soon.
Indeed!
