And here

UV newsletter #2 arrived today. Looks awesome.

I am 0-4 for these

I believe they'll be compiled into one book eventually from what I read on IG.

I got and received #1 and #2 but missed #3 so being a completist that's the end for me. They really look good in paper format tho even the envelope.

I missed the first one , as it was really out of the blue, while all others had some form of announcement before.

Still waitin' on 2.

yes,
2 and 3.
They've vanished completely from the international tracking radar.

Did we even get tracking for 2? I don't remember.

I got no. 2 last month, and no. 3 last thursday.

Just received no. 2 and am reading it now.  It's nice to actually have it in hand rather than reading it online to be able to look at the art wholly. 

For those interested, I found this image on another site:  

My newsletter no. 2 finally arrived today and I agree with Chivo, it's nicer to have it in hand than just looking at the digital version. I just wish I hadn't gapped out on no. 4. Oh well, maybe I'll be able to grab no. 5 eventually. Newsletters are the only thing I've purchased from UV so far.

I got number 1 & 2 but missed out on 3 & 4 so no point in getting any more. They are so much better in hand than on screen, I find a quick look then a swipe is not the same as looking at a physical page and the envelopes themselves were cool too. Number 1 was a bit battered during the long shipping but nothing too major. Best of luck to anyone who has the full set & hope you keep going.

Still waiting for #2 and #3 (besides #4, which just shipped)
I wonder if they'll ever arrive.

HA!
Speaking of the devil
look what arrived 5 minutes ago

Yeah still waiting on 3 + 4.

Number 3 arrived today with a JC poster tucked inside!
Nice little bonus!

That's funny: My number 4 arrived yesterday, but my number 3 is still missing...

Anyone grab the one on sale earlier? 1-4 plus extras, was limited to 500 but due to popular demand was boosted to 700.

Because shipping is so fucked right now due to the virus, we're having to get creative with how we get the shipping done. Arrivals will be a staggered quite a bit.
Just to give you guys an idea of what is going on behind the scenes:

For issues 1-3, all orders outside of China shipped via airmail from the office in Hong Kong. Airmail estimates are anywhere from 43 to 73 days to international countries. Some countries are still not accepting international post. As of the recent outbreak in Hong Kong (last week), all international post has been put on indefinite hold. Siu was able to express ship all the US stock of issue 4 to me in San Diego before the HK Post shut down.

We looked into having all of them shipped from the US to their locations, but international post sent from the US can be delayed up to 30-60days (because there are so few freight flights) and it's way more expensive to ship than from HK (shipping one newsletter from where I'm at to Canada is about $24), so it made more sense to have only the US orders be sent from within the States.

I shipped off all issue 4 orders out to the customers in the States on Tuesday, so issue 4 should be arriving today and the rest will arrive around end of next week. Issue 3 are out in the wind, so they'll land when they land.

Crazy times

I was able to get a copy which makes me feel better about missing no. 4.  Looks like it's only the Ashtroverse comic content from 1-4 though, at least that's my understanding from the description on the UV site. Not that I'm complaining, would have loved to have a physical copy of everything but I love Ash's art and I like the design with that little flap so I'm looking forward to when this eventually arrives. Also, I'm interested to see the new material that's included.

Wow, "73 days", good to know. At least that explains why some of the stuff I ordered from China on ebay is taking so long. I mean I agreed to be patient with the sellers on ebay so I'll wait 10 weeks before I contact them.
