It’s on its way, gents.

The international shipping cost worked out to around 7 dollars per person - that will be bolted on to your domestic shipping cost once Thomas gets his grubby paws on the package States-side.
Holding thumbs it gets to you all quickly <3
Thank you 
I’m stoaked!
Excellent - thanks for the update, Stu! Very much looking forward to these Manufactum pencils. And of course, thanks to @Thomas for being the stateside coordinator! 
The goods have made it to my studio! I’m tied up today but will start reaching out to each of you tomorrow for shipping addresses and payments.
Woohoo!
Very bizarre to see the same box that was on my desk a couple of weeks ago. Was anything dented or damaged during shipping, Thomas?
Nothing was dented or damaged! But most importantly, this proves that Stu is a real person and is also not a scammer. We were taking bets. 
I’m just hoping you don’t notice I switched out all the Manufactums for Nicpros.
I made sure that Chris‘s was a 0.9.
I wasn’t going to say anything. I was going to swap those out for some gold Scepters I have laying around.
You can keep the good one.
Most orders have been packed up and shipped out. Just a couple of addresses and payments I’m waiting for. Please check your DMs if I haven’t heard from you yet.
Here’s the one I got. Will probably take it down to the studio to give it a more matte/brushed finished. A weebit too polished for my liking, but I knew that going in. Great pencil! I love the sound when you unknock it. Such a great thump.
Cannot WAIT to get my hands on one of these 
Glad you like it, Thomas!
The deployment is so nicely smooth and lock-in is solid. No tip wobble.
If there’s just 1 thing I wish they’d achieved for perfection, it would be no tip movement when knocking. There’s a slight movement. It’s less than a rOtring 800… but still, if the BLICK PREMIER can do it (zero movement on knocking), why not Manufactum?
agreed - the BLICK PREMIER is a great pencil
If I were to have any gripes about it, it would be the knurling could be a little more coarse, and the clip would’ve been better in a matte or satin finish (instead of chromed steel).
I wonder how long Blick has been making these. Would be curious to know if it’s considered a permanent staple, or if they’ll retire it at some point in the near future.
It wasn’t even on my Radar until Michael (Clutch Sutuation) added it to his top 15.
I was surprised (happily) by how well it is made. But yes - the grip is a bit lacking
Hey, if anyone doesn’t pay for theirs I’ll take one 
(Yes, I am desparate after seeing these pictures)
All are spoken for but I think we can make another run at it soon.
Finally got home to a few packages. One was from Knockology – the Manufactum pencils.
I ordered 1 aluminum, and 2 black.
Yes, the aluminum is VERY light. But mine seems to be functioning fine. But unfortunately for the black? 50/50.
One of them functions perfectly.
The other one? It won’t deploy. I extend the tip and it just won’t lock into place. A little it of fiddling and I got it to hold ONCE. But that’s it. It keeps failing to lock.
I guess there’s no recourse with Manufactum on defects?
