I paid in full for the dragon ages ago. I knew that it would eventually get done, or that Heresy would close it's doors (which I am very glad it hasn't). I knew it was a risk, that's what a preorder is. I had confidence though, that Andy would deliver (and I am very pleased with the pictures that I have seen so far).
I will await patiently (well, slightly impatiently, but only because I want it in my hands now, rather than later!). When they are ready and the request for shipping is issued, I'll even put in a few extra quid so that Andy at least makes some money. I didn't preorder to get this on the day it was finished, but to encourage Andy to complete it. I know I'll get it when it's ready.
As for the first partly paid or first fully paid Andy is in a bit of a no-win situation. As such, I think he's done the best he can to ensure the fairest outcome. I would still think the same if I had only part paid and was now at number 170 or something. If I preorder a computer game say, then they will take the money out of the account as soon as it is ready to ship, whether I can afford it or not. Andy doesn't work this way. He is allowing people to pay as and when they can afford the money and rather than demanding it immediately he is giving them a reasonable amount of time to pay (and as he says above, if you have problems, let him know and he'll see what he can do to help).
I hope you have a great Christmas break Andy and get a bit of time to relax and have some good quality time with the missus, as well as having some time to sculpt.
Cheers,
Craig
