MONTY PYTHON and the HOLY GRAIL board game

So far about 4000 total orders have officially shipped out to backers.  That's a big swath of our initial fill list.  We have approximately 1000 that are still in the process of shipping in our first wave and we expect those to be completed soon (by the end of the week at worst). 

A chunk of those are international backers which are being processed right now.  If you live outside the US and you completed your surveys in time for the first fill list - your orders are actively shipping right now.  Please watch your Backerkit associated emails for tracking sent from Fed Ex (it will be from Diamond Comic Distributors as the source). 

We are happy to announce that the 200 Monty Python Games with the exclusive John Cleese autographs are also shipping at this time with an estimated completion of Tuesday 4-15 by the end of the day.  Those are shipped from our local warehouse and will read as Dynamic Forces on email notifications.  Please watch your Backerkit associated emails for tracking for those packages as well.

We 151 backers who replied to the surveys after we locked orders.  And we have 354 backers who have not replied to the survey and shipping data yet.  If you have not filled out a survey - we resent those to your email today and we are including the direct survey recovery link right here:

Our intention is to lock the next batch of backers by this Friday 4-18-25.  As soon as we do that - we'll begin shipping out as many of the remaining orders as we can.  So please double check and make sure you have filled out the survey because we really want to ship the games to you ASAP.

If you have any concerns like a lost package or damaged game - please reach out to us at [email protected] for assistance in resolving the issue.  We will continue to update everyone as we get through the shipping of the orders.  

We just heard from our distributor that they are making great progress and continue shipping out hundreds of Monty Python Game packages every day.  They're still on track to have the first full wave of shipping for everyone that filled out their surveys done by Friday 4/11 or Monday 4/14 coming up.  We will keep you posted as they complete the shipping list.

Some backers have asked who the distributor is.  It is Diamond Distribution.  They are packing and shipping the games via Fed Ex.  As each order is sent out - an email should be generated by Fed Ex and sent to the email address that was supplied on each backer's Backerkit account.  Please check your spam and junk folders in case they are stuck in those filters.  Be sure you know what email address is attached to your Backerkit account in case its not one you use often.  That way you can check the appropriate email for those details.

The Monty Python Game and John Cleese autographs will be shipping from the Dynamite warehouse.  You will see an email that says its from "Dynamic Forces" when those items ship.  We have the Cleese autographs prepped and packed.  We're just pending the game stock from the distribution hub which should arrive anytime.  Our warehouse is standing by to ship those out as soon as the games hit our dock.  We'll update on those package but expect them to follow suit shipping shortly as well. 

There still are 367 backers who have not replied to the survey at this time.  We're reminding everyone to make sure you go in and complete your information if you haven't yet.  We sent reminder emails out through Backerkit to those that are still pending.  And if you need to find your survey you can do so here:

We will continue to update backers as we get more information.  And for anyone who filled out your survey after the distribution began - we will be doing another sweep to begin more shipping at the end of next week. 

If you receive your game and have questions, damages, or lost packages - please contact us at [email protected] for assistance.  

A quick update on shipping progress.  Our distributor tells us they have shipped approximately 25% of the orders out in the past two days (Friday and Monday).  They are working full time getting as many orders out to backers as possible and are hopeful they will be finished with the first full wave by Friday 4/11.  Some backers have actually already received the games.  And we expect thousands more to start arriving any time.

Some basic details - they are using Fed Ex to deliver the games and emailed tracking should be going to the contact from your Backerkit accounts as they ship.  We've asked them to keep us posted on the number of packages they are able to get out each day.  And we will let everyone know as we proceed through the process of shipping.  Please keep an eye out for packages coming your way very soon!

In the meantime - we still have 385 backers who have not filled out their shipping information in the survey process.  If you can't find your survey - you can recover it here.

We sent out email reminders to each remaining backer through Backerkit as well.  Please check your email and/or junk folders to see if you have it.  As soon as we finish the first round of shipping, we'll run another sweep for any backers who have since filled out the information and have those sent as well.

If you have any trouble accessing your survey - please email us at [email protected] and we will help to get that resolved for you.

It took a few days longer than expected for the games to arrive at our distribution hub.  We're told there was a delay between the rail and trucking company which moves the goods from the train via truck to the warehouse.  But it has been resolved and as of this morning the games are at the distribution hub.  The distributor has also confirmed that they have the stretch goal cards and the bonus early bird window clings. 

As of this morning they are checking in the games (counting them, making sure no cartons were damaged, etc) and they expect to be able to begin shipping this week to backers.  We've asked them to give us regular updates as they work their way through the shipping so we can let everyone know how far along the full shipping is to backers.  

We expect to start seeing shipping start rolling out by tomorrow or Monday at the latest.  As we get updates on the progress we will post updates here on the page to keep everyone in the loop.

A quick update here - we believe the delivery of the Monty Python Holy Grail games are still on track to arrive at our distribution hub sometime tomorrow (Friday 3/21).  The shipper can't confirm 100% but its looking good.  We will let everyone know officially early next week about the local receiving and plan to begin shipping to customers

The distributor who is going to do the backer fulfillment is all set to go - they've got the materials and the extra goodies to include with the packages.  We hope that they will be able to start shipping ASAP some time next week.  We'll keep in contact with them and will post another update as soon as we have confirmation about the start of customer shipping.  The great news is that one way or another - by this time next week backer shipments should start moving.  There's aways a chance something could happen to delay it but things look good.  As long as the swallows don't veer off course, we will be excited to update everyone on backer shipping soon.

More updates to come as soon as we have more information confirmed.
