Just in case you guys don't have Poots' KS profile bookmarked so that you can lurk properly (and you should), here's a mini-update that he provided over KDM Kickstarter comments.

Just thought i'd give you guys a quick status update. At this point, cargo ships have started to reach their respective ports. Once they have arrived it usually takes another 1-2 weeks for the ships to be unloaded and the cargo to be trucked over to its warehouse. I want to have as little delay between global shipment as possible (very tricky when your sailing containers all over the world!) I don't have any "official" timeline updates yet. I am still personally at the wait and see point.

Wave 2 is being pushed back to Early 2018. Im not currently evil enough to take care of half the world for the holidays while everyone else has to wait until afterwards. But you know if I end up developing Atnas around that time... !

@Kenneth Walz, so many. Its totally insane. You guys backed WAY TOO MUCH KD STUFF!
This is good news for the Core 1.5 box. After all these months of waiting, it will be a little surreal to have 17 lbs of core box show up at my house.
For the record, the delay to Wave 2 (i.e. the legacy expansions) isn't unexpected (although I'm sure there will be much outrage on the KS comments). Poots warned during the campaign that there could be rolling delays due to the campaign being ~10x larger than he expected. So here's that playing out.
He had a lot of reprints in the pipe before the campaign blew up, but once the size of the campaign became clear all of his agreements with the manufacturers were out the window. His comment about "I'm not evil enough to take care of half the world..." means that he'll be taking some sort of initial shipment based on the first wave of reprints, but as it's not enough to cover everyone in the 1.5 Kickstarter, he'll withhold shipment until the full quantity can be shipped.
