Hello Everyone,

We begin this update with our apologies for again having to give notice that reward fulfillment is delayed due to the impact of COVID-19. Most of the items are now produced, however, and shipping will start shortly. We ask for your patience a little longer and hope the rewards will be worth the wait.

International Shipping Announcement
Before getting to the revised shipping dates, we have an announcement concerning international (non-US) shipping. Due to a recent increase in international shipping fees, some international rewards may be shipping together, in fewer packages. This could also mean that some rewards will ship within the US before going out internationally because of the shipment consolidation.

In-Progress Physical Rewards
The Slacker Backer T-shirt, capsule toys, art book and CD soundtrack, which were previously estimated for July and August delivery, are now expected to ship beginning in September and running into October. Shipping times may yet slightly deviate, but production for rewards is now in the final stages. We thank everyone again for your understanding and cooperation especially now.

Slacker Backer version T-shirt, capsule toys (random individual and box set) and art book

Replica Jacket
Replica jackets are currently on hold as it was recently necessary to switch suppliers. Backers of this reward will be contacted by Fangamer in the coming weeks with further details. Because of this adjustment, there is still time to change your size.

Haven’t received your rewards?
If you have not received a shipping notice or confirmation through the "Shipments" section of your survey for rewards that are already shipping (physical game, illustrations and Kickstarter version T-shirts), or for any questions regarding reward fulfillment, please contact us at info(at)shenmue.link. *Please replace (at) with @.


Thank you as always for your support.

I completely forgot that the capsule toy set was supposed to be coming in a box. I definitely wasn't expecting a mini replica vending machine box when I made the pledge, though.

I can't wait. The art book looks like it's shaping up to be everything I had hoped. If the print quality on the cover is any indication, the pages will likely be stunning. Would have been nice to see the packaging for the physical soundtrack, also, but I guess they're still working on those. I'm curious if it will have any liner notes, or anything.

Agreed; the packaging for the 4 capsule toys is a nice touch (and something I would've probably paid for had I known this!). The slacker backer T-shirt is lovely; I prefer wearing white to black, so wish it was an option at the time. I notice that there's no picture of the CD soundtrack though. I wonder if they'll go for a digipak or something?

I'm still a little bummed at the duplication of Shenmue I & II tracks on the MP3 download, so working on the assumption that's what we'll get. The art book is nice!

Dare I go on Kickstarter to read the bile on there??
 
It's surprisingly quiet! One or two dissenters, but otherwise fairly OK!!
 
Karimov has turned it into his personal spam-playground.
It is sad what meth does to a person. By the by, I know you like to lurk here on the old dojo, Karim. Hi! :D

Anyway, looking forward to the physical rewards, but my urgency to get them has gone. I'm happy that the game got made, and to be even a small part of that game, in capsule form, is a dream come true. Everything else is bonus stuff.

We were supposed to have 4 figures... but then now we have an awesome packaging that is literally a in-game capsule toys dispenser look-a-like. And the capsules also! It is like having a 1/2 scale iconic Shenmue in-game item at home... what a smart and unexpected move from YSnet. 😍
 
These look absolutely fantastic. Nice touch with the packaging too. Best looking rewards so far!
