what is your oldest prepub that is still not fully funded?

I ordered this on 21 May 2014 - more than a decade ago, and I'm still waiting for enough others to recognize its value.

I'm not sure that this is accurate, the the oldest I could fine in my pre-pub list is 4/16/18.

Wow that's actually a rather impressive snippet of the contents; I wish I could see it all.
Many years back Logos did something stupid (it happens periodically), and in a snit I deleted all my pre-pubs and community pricing orders. I only have one pending now, from 2023, which I don't remember signing up for.
I will, however, give my order to move this title along as there are a lot important authors in it that I don't think we have otherwise in Logos.

I recently went through my pre pubs and deleted a bunch of really old ones evaluating whether I could better spend the money on new releases. That included the BSM archive.
Tis is generally the oldest pre pub, but I couldn't find out since when it's open:

I'm still waiting for the Lexham Geographic Commentary on the Historical Books
For Vol. 1 it says "Ships Q4-2025".
No idea when Vol. 2 or Lexham Geographic Commentary on Poetry and Prophecy will ship.

I ordered this one as well, but in 2015 - and I have three older ones, all from 2015 as well (looking not promising to come around soon) , but none that crosses the decade yet:
Have joy in the Lord!

Mine even got Axed 🪓 Ceslas Spic Hebrews Commentary that was supposed to be translated from French to English.

Yep … that was an unfortunate ax'ing. I remember when Mark (I think) ax'd a whole bunch of dead prepubs. Also converting CPs to PP's which had the same effect.
I think I've thinned out my prepubs down to one. That's Brill's Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language etc. It came … it went … it doubled the price … it halved the price. Then it sat at 50% gathering. Then, it went into development! And more recently it's real 'soon'. I can't imagine who's still prepub'ing it (!). I assume FL will pop the price $300 or so, when shipped (similar to the greek one).

I only ordered it in 2023, but the "oldest" of my unfunded prepubs is:
I was hoping they would create it and add it to the Anglican denominational packages this year. Maybe in two years.

My oldest prepub is Brill's Encyclopedia of Hebrew Language from 2018. I am kind of scared when it comes out from the incubation - it is quite expensive …
Below: Tired of waiting for the prepub to come to my computer. The picture was taken by someone in 1974. I am on the right.
Gold package, and original language material and ancient text material, SIL and UBS books, discourse Hebrew OT and Greek NT. PC with Windows 11

I had some Community Pricing things that were converted to Pre-pubs. Those CP carry-overs still constitute 94% of my pre-pubs. I happened to put all my CP bids in a spreadsheet before they did away with the program, and my earliest goes back to July of 2013. I would still get it if I could.
BTW, I received an email with a coupon today. There's a bit of text in it that says:
*Coupon code is one-time-use only and cannot be used on Pre-Pub or Community Pricing products, payment plans, or subscription renewals—and cannot be combined with other coupon codes.

You look more like the one on the left - the one without the glasses.
