Project Update: Pins are here, graded, carded, and ready to go!

Hey folks! Exciting update. All the pins are here and they look awesome. They're SO cute.

I'e got 100 sets in hand, plus a bunch of singles. Since I just spent all yesterday and today doing grading and carding, I know what I have for B-grades, so I'm going to throw those in the survey shop for pretty cheap. There's SO many little robots here haha. I haven't locked the surveys yet and probably won't for another week, so if you want the B grades too, you can adjust your survey to include them!

If you haven't filled out your survey yet, please make sure to do so. I'm hoping to get these out before April 26th when the 8% shipping increase happens.

Let's goooooo!

Project Update: EXCITE!!! The manufacturer is done!

They look so cute eeee!


This means that the next step is they come to me, and then I quality check them and card them.

The fixed up stickers are here too and they're perfect!



And... You've probably already gotten your collab pins from Seven. Those look amazing too! So small and cute!



So, hoping that we catch in time before the USPS increases shipping by 8% on April 26th, I'm sending out smoke tests and then the actual surveys. Please make sure to get these done ASAP as it will likely only be a week or so before these pins arrive and I can start shipping them out!

As always, let me know if there's any questions or weirdness with the surveys. I've just hit the button for smoke tests to go.

Can't wait to get these lil guys to you finally!

Project Update: Pins are ordered! Stickers are here! Backing cards are here!

Woot woot!

We're well on our way. Now that funds have been disbursed and the lovely manufacturers are back from CNY, the designs have all been ordered, figured out, and approved. Now we're in making mode! If you're new to the pin making business, this means that the manufacturer tends to go quiet until everything is shipped out. Since the pins are pretty simple (only one color for the fill) I expect this to go pretty quickly.

BUT, we did get the stickers and backing cards...

Tiny bitty backing cards!

They can't seem to get the stickers right, however... So I keep getting all kinds of misprints. We're about to get it right though. BUT the misprints will be available for like idk $1? in the pledge manager store when you do your survey if you want more bots!

Uhhh what happened? Why are they white?


Once the pins are shipped out to me, I'll be sending out surveys to you! Here's what you can do now to make sure you're all set to get them:
  • If the charge failed for your pledge, go to your profile and your surveys & rewards. You can fix your failed pledge from inside here prior to going to the survey area and getting harassed by me!
  • Fill in your BackerKit profile and shipping address (if you want to). This will save you some time when it is time for you to fill out your reward survey!

Got questions? Certainly don't be afraid to ask! I'm happy to answer where I can. <3

Project Update: It's over and we're funded! Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey folks! The tiny robots campaign ended on Thursday, but I was saving my first post-campaign update so I could send you a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY greeting!



I've got backing cards ordered, sticker sheets ordered, and the manufacturer inquiry is out (they sent me an email saying they'd get back to me). Lunar New Year is happening Feb 17th through Feb 27th, so over in China they celebrate for the entire time, so it is very likely I won't hear back from them for a couple of weeks. This is totally normal! If you've ever backed pins before, you know there can be a few months of quiet time before there's any actual updates. Just hang tight and I'll let you know the next big one!

Thank you SO MUCH for your continued support. These are going to come out so cute, I just know it. <3 I can't wait to get them over to you.

Project Update: One more day... Just 24 hours left... We've unlocked sticker sheets!

Hey we did it! Everyone's getting a cool lil robot sticker sheet!

These sheets will feature every robot design with a mirror finish... Just like the lil bots themselves! How cool. You'll have to use your imagination a little on this preview because the white areas will have the mirror finish if all goes as it should.



We've only got one more day if you wanted to add another set or a single bot to your pledge, or perhaps back Seven's campaign and get our awesome collab pins! So close to done. It's happening!! I can't wait to see how everything comes out.
