    I managed to get an order in about 20 minutes ago and didn't see any of the same hiccups as before, so I don't know if that's because the site is fixed or because I ordered really early in the morning.

    I was able to place an order as well.

    Tomorrow is the last day to order, so let me know if anyone else has any trouble.

    Today is the last day to order your coins & have them in time for PAX (barring any unforeseen shipping conditions, but that would never happen right?).
    We are sitting just under 200 total coins right now.

    Those that miss this deadline will still be able to order coins, but they will probably arrive after PAX.

    Here is the order link for those that don't want to go to the previous page.

    Knew there would be someone.
    I would assume that if people put an order in this morning it still might make the first batch and arrive for PAX, but no guarantees.

    The order site will remain open until just after PAX for the second batch.

    So does the original shipping date of August 8th still apply? I had mine shipped to the hotel in Seattle since I wasn't sure.

    The dates in the OP are guidelines I am trying to hit, but I do not know the exact date when PCC will start shipping them out.
    I will make sure to post here when they update me.

    Make sure to let the Hotel know a package is coming for you and when you will be there in case it arrives a little early.

    When it says available on backorder, does that mean I can order one and still be good?

    It said that when I pre-ordered before the deadline for the first batch, so I'd assume that backorder just means pre-order in this case. I think SkeleVader said before that sales will end around PAX, and the order page will be taken down around that time.

    Yes you can still order, it just won't get to you in time for PAX as that deadline has passed.

    Quick update or you all,
    The first order was placed last week and PCC estimates coins should start shipping by the end of next week.

    Also, as a reminder, the order page will stay open until the last day of PAX for anyone that missed the first order.

    I have not heard from Eric at PCC yet. His estimate was that they would ship about the end of this week. So if I don't hear from him by Friday I will contact him.

    Thanks. I just noticed there it no way to go onto their website to see if orders have shipped so I was curious. Also for some reason I read your last post as "Sometime this week" not "Sometime next week"

    There is a 'my account' section. Check your email with your receipt or order. I think there was a link in there.

    It always stated backorder. The deadline in the OP is what you should be looking it. Since you ordered July 20th, you're fine.

    SkeleVader is active, so I expect him/her to keep us updated so I wouldn't stress, especially since he said he'd contact Eric if he didn't get an update by yesterday.

    My guess is that Phoenix Challenger Coins will send by Thursday so that it gets to us in time for PAX Dev, for those of us also going to that.

    No news yet.
    I talked with Eric at the end of last week and he said he expected them in a few days.
    E-mailed him this morning, but have not heard back yet.

    So we will actually be moving at the end of this week. Is there a way to change shipping addresses?

    Good news.
    All coins have been packaged & Eric is printing the shipping labels right now. Should be in the mail very soon.

    His son had a medical emergency and was admitted to the hospital, so he was dealing with that the past few days.

    If you talk to him again, tell him a random Paxer said he hopes everything turns out okay. My 2 year old son got pneumonia this weekend so I sympathise with any child sickness.

    Awesome! Glad to know it will be here soon. I leave for Seattle on Tuesday so I might not see it until I get back.

    And yes, please pass along my well wishes to Eric and his son for a quick recovery!

    Got my coins and they look amazing! Thanks so much for all your work, SkeleVader!

    I do have one (probably dumb) question, though: anyone have any tips for prying them out of these plastic cases? I feel like a dope, but I absolutely cannot get these things open.

    Edit: Okay, I went to work with some pliers and a hair clip and got them out of there. The hair clip will never be the same, however…

    Mine, as well as the international orders, have arrived as well.

    It always amazes me how much better they look in person for the first time.

    I am very happy with how these turned out. Especially with starting later than normal.
    After the bad luck last year, I am very happy to see them getting to people with plenty of time before PAX.

    Thanks to everyone who contributed this year.
