Hi there! You are probably wondering what this thread is about..

This thread is to tease a project I am working on with a particular individual who will remain anonymous for now but I have great respect and admiration for this person.

The project should begin next week.

If you are thinking "Why should I care for this project?"

Well Every single one of you will have the chance to own original, very rare and one of a kind items.. That should be a good incentive!

Unfortunately there will NOT be any Uncharted or The Last of Us items.

That's all the info I can provide for now.. But stay tuned! Will have more shortly.

Update 1 - 7th November 2014

I am very happy to say that this project Will begin next week.. Stay tuned!

Update 2 - 11th November 2014

We have seemed(and hopefully) to have avoid copyright infringement, which is great! And the item(s) are the on the way!

Update 3 - 15th November 2014

Unfortunately the item(s) have not shown up yet and since it Saturday, I am sorry to say the project will not begin this week.
I am 99% sure it will begin next week. Sorry for the delay!

Update 4 - 22nd November 2014

Very sorry and annoyed to say that the project will not be starting this week. The item(s) were sent on the 6th November and the tracking website says there has been no update as to where the item is since the 7th which now adds up to 15 days(including non-working days).
I don't know when this project will begin now.. But will hopefully still start this year.

Will update you as information comes through!

Update 5 - 3rd December 2014

This project is still alive.. I am just frustrated with what has happened(see above) and busy with my Birthday and Christmas coming up. There have been a few adjustments to the project as well.. More on that soon!

Update 6 - 21st December 2014

The shipping website has actually updated! The item(s) are currently in Brazil.. Going in the complete wrong direction and when the package would clearly state "United Kingdom" it's an easy mistake to send it to a completely different country!/s

Update 7 - 31st December 2014

The package was released by Brazil customs on the 29th so I contacted USPS on Twitter and they informed me and I quote: "The mis-sort appears to mechanical in nature. I couldn't see anything wrong with piece to cause a mis-sort. The package cleared Brazilian customs yesterday. Brazil will forward the piece directly to the UK".

So now I will hopefully be awaiting some good news as I continue to track the package.

Update 8 - 6th January 2015

To avoid any copyright/legal action from Naughty Dog, I have decided(by my own accord) that the project name will be changing. For now 'Project Naughty Dog' is a place marker.

Apparently according to the Brazilian postal site, the package has left Rio De Janeiro and is heading to Sao Paulo. I really don't know how long this is going to take to arrive but I did email the Brazil post about 5 days ago and I am yet to hear back from them. Tracking websites are not always reliable.. And this one seems to update it at weekly stages at a minimum. I'v had items show up when they haven't been updated correctly. I really hope this is the case and I am hoping the item is closer to the UK than Brazil.

Update 9 - 11th January 2015

I asked the Brazilian postal site if the package was heading to Great Britain, here is the response they gave:

"Dear Customer, please note that international shipments are subject to retention by the Customs Authority of the country of destination to verify the content or application of taxes on imports, according to the laws of each country, the Post Office does not interfere so not having a specific deadline to be retained. In this case the recipient is required to wait for the release of that surveillance. If the object is taxed will be taken to a Post Office nearest to the destination address, to be removed upon payment of the tax rate. The Agency will issue a notice to the recipient requesting their attendance. If the object is not taxed the same will follow with the flow going directly to the postal address."

Could somebody please translate that into a simple sentence please?

Update 10 - 20th January 2015

Wow after 3 long weeks the Brazilian postal site has actually updated the tracking! It is now.. "Received at Post Unit"

Update 11 - 3rd February 2015

Latest response from the Brazilian post "Dear Customer, the object is in treatment to be returned to origin, we will be making the rescue attempt."

Don't care whether it get's to me or the original owner now I just want it to be in one of our hands.

Update 12 - 12th February 2015

Quote from the Brazilian tracking website: "Forwarded
from Distribution Unit in Sao Paulo / SP to Country in Britain /"

Am I happy now..?

Update 13 - 17th February 2015

The package has arrived! The reason why it went to Brazil in the first place is still a mystery.. But let's hope it never happens again!

The wait is almost over.. This project will begin very soon!

Update 14 - 20th February 2015

Currently busy designing and hoping to make this all go smoothly. The first auction will begin on the 5th March.

Update 15 - 2nd March 2015

Time for a little hint. I am going to be working with an individual who has contributed to video games that have sold in excess of over 10million copies. Not long to go now! I hope I haven't raised expectations to high.. But this is very exciting for me and I hope it will excite you as well.
