I'm all for waiting. I echo Tubamaster. Your reputation, good name, is better served by supplying a quality product albeit late. How does this affect the other pip designs? You had some great alternatives to the standard pips that I was looking forward to showing off.

Without being able to see any silicone mold/resin samples, I voted to wait. I don't feel I have a good basis for comparison. That said, the latest Ningbo samples look pretty good. I would grade them at a solid B: Acceptable, but could be better. I'm hoping that the resin samples are A/A+!

These look fine to me, but will wait to see what the other mold produces if you're having it made. Did just the one die have the funky pip?
Although the latest samples from Ningbo look better, I'd rather wait for dice that represent the quality YOU want to see in this product. Quality takes time.

I would echo the above comments. My preference is to receive the product you wish to deliver. I am in no hurry and I believe your reputation is best served by a superior quality product, rather than a subpar product delivered more quickly. I am sorry this project has not gone according to plan, but applaud you making the effort to see it done right. This is not the first delayed Kickstarter project, but you have done an excellent job of keeping us informed, and I have total faith that you will, eventually, deliver an outstanding product.
I don't mind waiting longer if it will deliver a product that you feel confident standing behind but personally I think the larger-pip dice look just great already. The smaller-pip dice were definitely disappointing but these I think look really good and solid. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

They look of acceptable quality, but if you are going to get the silicone mold anyway I would hold off and wait until you are completely satisfied with the product.
