    The pre-orders will ship Late July and Darcy has said in a couple places that it won't be earlier than that. If you ordered anything from that pre-order, it has the 'ships late July' as part of the name of any items you ordered.

I also wanted some OH items before it gets retired. Speaking of which, is OH still in consideration to be retired? I remember reading that on the forums dating back to 2019...
      I believe that Darcy will be posting a blog update within a few weeks with some status updates overall, including on materials - hopefully she will answer your question there or here. I love the original halcyon too

        Facepalm. Don’t know how i missed that. Thanks! Guess I might really need to look into getting a cheap stopgap bag to fill the size gap in my lineup.

          Totally fine, that's why we're here!

            My S25 and PCSB were finally here a week after they were shipped! So many good things I can say, but I should enjoy the bags first

              You know you have a serious case of TBAS when you are stalking the UPS flights that the TB bags take to reach their destination - first 5X981 BFI-SDF, then 5X223 SDF-CGN, 5X14 CGN-SZX, and hopefully tonight the final leg of the journey 5X167 SZX-SIN. It's also probably a sign of desperation for not being able to travel, made worse by the fact that the TB bags get to fly the B747-8 most of the way... But hopefully tomorrow is a happy day!

                I am anticipating a few more Ghost Whales and other accessories. I had started to think that USPS had lost the parcel (as it somehow went from Seattle to LA before supposedly departing to the UK), but then it popped back up in Seattle the other day and was promptly dispatched to the UK again! Now it's a waiting game...

                  USPS parcels to the UK take FOREVER! I think on average 2 weeks but sometimes 3 weeks. I always start of being all nice and patient but by day 10 it wears off.

                    My UPS box is out for delivery - I'm looking forward to all the Tidal things and I also picked up a Makers Bag for the first time... the pre-orders ship in the next couple of weeks and I want to compare it to the Large Cafe I ordered. Not convinced I'll keep either of them since they seem very large, but I figure this is the last time in a while to directly compare them.

                      Not just UK, same too here in France. USPS takes forever; always arrived eventually after appearing to go back and forwards within USA first. So, for me, not to be used for anything remotely urgent. It’s where I generally weigh up paying noticeably more for UPS than cheaper USPS - and then “justifying” it by buying a few more items for the fixed UPS rate.

                        I just have to laugh because my house is along the flight path to BFI. I have a nice view of brown tails coming in to land around dinner time, and I hear the 2day SDF planes depart when I'm getting ready in the morning.

                        TBAS for me is waiting for the origin scan, the loading/out for delivery scan the following morning, and then seeing the truck pull up outside my house. Luckily I only have to wait a day for my boxes.

                          Lucky you! Is the Tom Bihn factory near the airport (from what I see on the map)? If so, I presume you can relieve a bad case of acute TBAS by picking up from the mothership

                          Edit: They are finally here! Thanks TB Crew for picking a matching pocket pouch to go with the GE S30 I know the large TT is... large but it feels even larger in person!

                            Well mine definitely got lost, but it appeared this weekend! And everything is now in use, I'll have to take some photos sometime

                              Am I the only one that keeps going into my orders to see if Unfulfilled status has changed to Fulfilled? Larry is going to be gone Friday and Saturday and it would have been a great time for orders to arrive

                                I rec'd a VERY BIG box 'o goodies...

                                Any Terry Pratchett fans here? Tiffany Aching?

                                "“Tiffany knew what the problem was immediately. She'd seen it before, at
                                birthday parties. Her brother was suffering from tragic sweet
                                deprivation. Yes, he was surrounded by sweets. But the moment he took any
                                sweet at all, said his sugar-addled brain, that meant he was not taking
                                all the rest. And there were so many sweets he'd never be able to eat
                                them all. It was too much to cope with. The only solution was to burst
                                into tears.”
