WOAH it is monday already, I blinked and just ended up here! With the campaign ending there is a lot to say, but I wanted to give you guys an enormous THANK YOU for making my first backerkit campaign a huge success first! 🎉🎉🎉

It's been a bit of a blur, but I am incredibly happy with the results! Unfortunately we did not unlock our little opossum friend keychain, but I hope this doesn't dampen the fun ❤️

Now, onto some logistics... 

For those of you based in the US, I've got some good news!

My shipping provider is now providing a cheaper base shipping price to the US, from €12 down to €8 for pledges under 100 grams! This will apply to any US pledges, as well as pre-orders :) 

The 15% tariff still applies, but I hope the reduced price makes you as happy as it makes me!

 Speaking of shipping...

The shipping for the campaign will be charged seperately, a bit closer to the fulfillment date. This will also be when the surveys and addresses are locked. You'll receive a bunch of emails with reminders when it's time, so it won't come as a surprise! 

For now, this looks to be the updated shipping costs:

If you select local pick up, you can pick up your pins at Dutch Comic Con this summer! Unfortunately I did not get into Dokomi this year, so this is only available for people attending Dutch Comic Con :( 

Selecting local pick up means you pay no shipping costs, so it's a nice little discount! 

I am working hard on figuring out the backerkit backend and making sure that the surveys can be sent out smoothly! I wager I'm about 80% there, so you can hopefully expect your survey sometime this week ;D

 The pre-order and add-on shops now include the campaign freebies as well, so you can add extras of those (in case you ordered with friends and don't want to have to fight over who gets the freebies ;D). 

Thanks again for helping me make these lovely pins, and I hope you have a fantastic day :) If you have any campaign questions at all, I will be keeping an eye on my campaign page and emails :)

I've been working hard on getting all the designs ready for manufacturing, but I found some time for a little treat to give you all ;D With a little over three days to go the final stretch goal has been set for a new freebie!

Thank you guys so much for helping make this pin series a reality! I've been blown away by all the support, and really wanted to add a freebie as a final goal instead of a paid option to see if we can get you all some more extras :D

If the campaign hits €16000 in funds, all pledges for two standard pins / 1 premium pin or more receive a free double sided acrylic keychain with their rewards! I figured a little opossum representation was in order :)

Here's a little overview of all the freebies you'd be receiving by supporting the creation of these pins now, rather than picking them up later through my webshop or at a convention:

In some other news:
I am currently exploring a cheaper shipping option for the US through local fulfillment, which I hope to update everyone about further if it pans out! This could cut down on the tariffs by quite a bit, but I cannot yet make any promises as it is uncharted territory for me :)

Thanks again for an amazing campaign so far! It's time for me to knuckle down during the last stretch, let's make it a good one :D

Holy hell you guys, I went to bed and when I woke up all stretch goals have already been unlocked!

I'm incredibly excited to be able to bring all designs to life, especially since this means I get to add a bunch of cute freebies with your rewards :D

Furthermore, this means that people will now be able to pick from ALL designs when the campaign concludes!

I will be giving adding extra designs some thought, but I am most likely going to gear towards adding some keychain options or stickers as additional freebies. If I do add more pin designs, they will likely be based on existing stuff, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to swing it...

I've included a poll below (backers only) so we can figure it out together!

I will keep you in the loop, but for now... Thank you so much for making my first backerkit campaign a huge success!!! I could not be more grateful!
