Some ROKR Dinosaur Lab Shipments Are Late, With P42 Replacements in Transit
ROKR says Dinosaur Lab backer rewards are shipping in batches, some are delayed, and affected early shipments receive 11 P42 rubber rings separately.
ROKR’s August 26 support guide says Dinosaur Lab Pinball rewards are shipping to Kickstarter backers in batches and some have taken longer than expected. A P42 issue affected part of the earlier shipments; ROKR says those customers should receive 11 rubber rings in a separate package, while later shipments are packed with the complete set. If tracking is stalled or the replacement does not arrive after extra delivery time, contact official ROKR support with the backer or order information.
Batch status and the P42 replacement define the next check
ROKR says some Dinosaur Lab rewards have taken longer than originally expected. It does not publish an order-level completion date in the support guide.
ROKR says it shipped the replacement rings separately, so the P42 package may arrive a few days after the main kit.
According to ROKR, later shipments do not require the separate replacement. A buyer still needs their own package contents and tracking to confirm status.

ROKR separates an early-shipment parts issue from later complete kits
ROKR’s August 26 support guide says Dinosaur Lab Pinball Kickstarter rewards are shipping in batches and that some shipments have taken longer than expected. It does not publish an order-level completion date in the support guide. The company says a P42 issue affected a portion of earlier shipments. Affected customers should receive 11 P42 rubber rings shipped separately, which may arrive a few days after the main kit. ROKR says later shipments are already packed with the complete ring set and need no separate replacement. The guide tells backers with stalled tracking or a missing replacement after additional time to contact official support with their backer or order information.
The useful action depends on the package, not the campaign-wide headline. A backer whose early kit has arrived without the complete P42 set should expect the separate 11-ring shipment described by ROKR and preserve the package and order details. A backer with long-stalled tracking or a replacement that remains missing after the extra window should open a support case. Prospective retail buyers should not use this backer-support update as proof that retail sales are live: ROKR’s hub says production is underway and retail timing is still being finalized while other page copy remains stale, so this report does not claim a current retail launch. The Crafty Catsman has not backed, received, assembled, or tested the kit.
Use package-level evidence, not a campaign-wide assumption
ROKR distinguishes three states: Kickstarter rewards are moving in batches; part of the earlier shipments is affected by the P42 issue and should receive 11 rubber rings separately; later shipments are packed with the full P42 set. The support page also covers missing, duplicated, incorrect, and damaged parts, but this report does not infer how common those cases are beyond ROKR’s own wording.
This is a backer-support update, not a retail launch: The new information changes what an affected backer should check after delivery. It does not establish current retail availability, a universal defect rate, or independent product quality. The current hub says production is underway and the official retail release date is still being finalized.
- Which individual backer shipments belong to the affected early P42 group?
- When will each delayed reward or separate replacement package arrive?
- How many kits are affected by missing, incorrect, damaged, or performance-related parts?
- When will ROKR publish a consistent retail availability record?
Allow the stated second-package window if:The main kit arrived recently and ROKR identifies the early batch as receiving P42 rings separately.
Open a support case if:Tracking remains stalled or the 11-ring replacement is still missing after the additional delivery time ROKR describes.

Wait for the second package, or open a support case?
If the main kit just arrived and the shipment belongs to the affected early group, allow the extra delivery window ROKR describes for the separate P42 package.
Use ROKR support with the backer or order information when tracking has not updated for an extended period or the replacement remains missing after extra time.
