Just watched the kickstarter video (8 hrs after I placed my order =) .

I am concerned, is Brandon okay?  He was very animated with his right hand, but seemed to keep his left hand in his pocket the whole time.

Was this just an (non gender biased) easter egg reference to hiding his safe hand?  Is he left handed and it has fallen off from all the signing?   I'm hoping for safe hand,

They opened another Tier 6 that comes in 2021. Try those? Sorry about that  

Yeah I got in on the second round, stupid work made me miss out on the first round..... =)
The estimated delivery is Apr 2021, not too bad.

It's open! Just popped in to say I found it running pretty slowly, but got there in the end.

For some idea of popularity, I backed it at 09:04 MT and was supporter number 1046, and the project hit the goal in 3 mins. And, as I write this 11 mins after opening, there are 29 numbered $500 packages left. Y'all are ANIMALS. :-)

Went from 135 left to not available while it was processing my request......

What @Mist said is accurate. The reason for that is they signed and numbered these in advance and so in the boxes when the bindery binds them all together they won't know what number is what, since they are now having the leatherbounds sealed by the bindery to reduce damages. Before, they opened the books from the bindery and then signed/numbered, but this led to more damage than they felt was acceptable, especially for an expensive product.

As for personalizations of a random quote, I think that might eventually return, but more complex personalizations I don't think will ever return.

Thanks @Mist and @Chaos, I thought as much, but is nice to hear it from others too.  I am torn, I'm not usually one to wait for things, but the personalizations are nice.....

Does anyone know more about numbered editions in the top tier.  Since it's limited to 975 backers I'm assuming 1-25 are reserved for Brandon's family and other VIP's.  But what does "Signed & Numbered (random)" mean?  Could I potentially get Book #82917?  I sign-on right as the kick starter opens will I get a lower number?  or is this where the "randomness" kicks in?

Also does anyone know if random quotes are ever coming back to the other leather bounds?  are they just on hold during this busy period in the lead up to RoW and tWoK leather?

So when I wrote this, their Kickstarter said Ascendant Warrior, which seemed odd to me, but that has now been fixed on the Kickstarter. I will fix the post  

Also yay! It's funded.

You got to put what the Kickstarter says but it looks like Sazed to me, dude is bald...
