I just wonder if they will have enough to cover the ones that were faulty, plus the preordered ones from guys like myself???

How, exactly, is it scary? It's not like castle is going to say "oh darn, we're all out, sorry about that, have a nice life!"

If anything, there isn't any reason to be scared whatsoever. Man, everyone needs to stop being so emo.

Painting my fingernails black and applying lip stick, Man I hate life, Emo life that is..................... LOL

you could do alot worse than the CC MMM situation. not sounding like a sheep here but with most guys here agree they have been highly communicative, esp to end users as opposed to only dealing with resellers/distibutors. electronics manufacturing esp for niche markets is by no means easy.

when the proverbial hits the fan with a highly anticipated product from a well renowned brand, everyone goes into damage control very very quickly, for the obvious benefit of the end customer and faithful distibutors/resellers. things like counterfeit parts whether deliberate or a mistake, splitting supply chains to make up full BOMs, too much vibration in the pick and place DEK, twisting main pcb on the depanelling machine, components not being left in the humidifier/oven long enough. these small areas which are almost routine are sometimes mistakenly overlooked or skipped in favour of speed to market.

depending on the CC ISO accreditation they have to make absolutely sure checks and balances are in place before getting said ISO. then comes audits etc. needless to say there would be many unpaid sleepless nights down at CC and its what it takes to appease the gods of this hobby. i know what they are going through and can empathize, its fortunate its not an 8 layer board with BGAs on both sides. things could be far far worse. i am pleased its been addressed and look forward to receiving mine soon.
