It should all be here in 4-5 days, plenty of time for assembling during

*Latin, commonly translated as 'the die is cast.' In fact, the English
expression refers to 'alea' as 'die' (one of a pair of dice), but the
Romans had no dice; the alea was a game piece that was thrown during
play, but it wasn't actually what we think of today as a die. And
while I'm at it, what idiot decided that the plural of die should be
dice?
