In lieu of a lengthy update, here's all you need (and want) to know: The challenges to this project Sandy and I revealed in the past two updates are resolved. Manufacturing has recommenced and will not pause again.  As promised below are the first pictures of mass manufacturing for the Cthulhu Wars: Onslaught 4 mega-project. (Kudos if you can accurately guess which miniatures these are for).   I have asked the factory for weekly pictures of manufacturing - I may not get them every single week (though I did ask for exactly that) - but I should have many to show as the manufacturing continues.  . Vacuum Trays One thing that the factory has just recently finalized are the vacuum trays for the new items. Vacuum trays are relatively quick to produce and usually our factory for Cthulhu Wars doesn't even design the specific tray layout until plastic production is underway for the various SKUs, so not having vacuum tray layout until now is normal (especially given the start-stop situation this project has been under this past year). Basically, vacuum trays are large (relative to individual miniatures), so you don't want to make a bunch and store them as they take up lots 'o space. As such, trays (and boxes) are often the very last things made just before final assembly of products. Note: vacuum trays are NOT right now being made, they just finished their designs as the plastics manufacturing is underway. I only approved these tray layouts two weeks ago. . . Your Friend, Arthur
