Okay so here’s the skinny. We have “some” Tau now in stock that’s ready to ship.
However we are completely out of Broadsides, Pathfinders, and Fireblade Cadres, BUT we have tons of everything else ready to ship right now!
For those of you that had advance orders with us, we have shipped out every order that we can fully fill with the stock we received.
If you have not received a shipping confirmation by now, your order will be filled when more stock arrives back into the United States.
But rest assured we have a TON of Tau on backorder- enough to cover all our remaining advanced orders. So we will fill and ship the remainder of our advanced orders as the product arrives, on a first come first serve basis.
Please feel free to continue to make Tau orders, but keep in mind that as of right now any order containing Broadsides, Pathfinders, or Fireblade Cadres, may not get filled for a few weeks.
We will be updating the site daily with what Tau stock we have available to order, and let you know when the out of stock items will ship- as we get better information.
If you have a question about a Tau Advanced Order with us please checkout our Pre-Order FAQ here.
We’re sorry for any delays caused by the manufacturer, and will get you the product you ordered as soon as it is available to us. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we all try to cope with this situation. -MBG
