Nope, you are one lucky son of a gun!
Out of curiosity, did you get a dispatch notification before it arrived or did it just turn up??

Yeah was massively excited to see the box!
Didn't get any notification before it arrived.
Had limited time to look at it so far but impressed with amount of sprues and have put 4 Shaltari frigates together - pretty simple to assemble and look good.
Rule book is good quality, rules wise I am just trying to get my head around the weapons systems etc to work out what ships to make. Have just read through the first few pages of rules so far, seem good, quite a few similarities to Dropzone as you'd expect regarding battle group alternate activation and the two aspects to the game ie ship combat and the ground war (like troops in buildings as opposed to tank warfare in Dropzone). But also a lot of differences to make it a unique game.
Will let you know more when I've read more!

Lucky Chris!
Were you planning on keeping all the free frigate spruces from different factions, or are you looking to swap some? Because I'm not fussed about keeping the Shaltari spruce I'llbe getting.
Dropfleet Commander- 3000pts Scourge, 1500pts PHR
Dropzone Commander- 3000pts Scourge, 600pts UCM
PM me anytime to arrange DzC tutorials if you are interested in the game.

I was planning to head down to Wayland Games to pick a set up yesterday, but due to the fact Kickstarter hasn't shipped, there wasn't going to be anything on sale.
However bits are starting to show up on eBay.

Guildball - Alchemists
