Okay, Now that I am home from an out of town engagement and the smoke test seems to have gone alright I have sent out all the rest of the surveys. Again, thank you guys for your patience, this is basically impossible unless you are on a desktop and I did not have access to one for about a week.

About the surveys: THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT

You MUST fill them out!

Check your spam, check alternate emails, check your promotions, make sure that this stuff is correct because what I need now is semi accurate counts of all the stuff I'm ordering. I can't ask for the manufacturer to tell me how much money until I know how much I'm ordering. The more the better because then that lowers something called the price per unit. This is the price of the individual item. As in: as an example what I have to pay for no matter what is the mold fees for the pins, but the more pins I order the cheaper that PPU turns out to be. So the amounts of pins will radically change the over all bill.

I have a bit of a specific problem in that I have two different options available to me at this juncture. I am for sure going to get the quote for all the stuff that has been actually unlocked and then a secondary quote for some stuff that I want to unlock. I want to, at the very least, unlock all the actual vocaloids in this round even if I have to use a bit of my own money to do so, but if the quote for all the stuff that I actually 100% owe is too high then we will just fall back on what has been unlocked because that takes precedence (obviously). I am also planning to buy some for my own use, and use at cons, so there is that to consider. We shall seeeeee.  

Surprisingly, I've seen a ton of interest in Kaito and Meiko so far! I even have had messages about it on other platforms which is so cool! 

For right now the second biggest hurdle I have is that the more you guys preorder stuff, the easier it will be to lean towards the first option, which is everyone gets everything they want: lol and lmao even. So! Now that surveys are going out, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. My reach on platforms isn't great and is in fact sucking more and more as twitter dies a horrible death, but that is neither here nor there. Word of mouth is king! 

Hello again everyone! I am pleased as all heck to announce I have completed the work to send out surveys! Yay! Some of you might have gotten them already as I have sent out a 'smoke test' or a little tester wave to check if anything is funky before all the other surveys go.

SURVEYS ARE REQUIRED, reeeeeequired! If you want your stuff! I will be here to answer all of your questions as they come up, some of you intrepid people have sent some things in already about this or that. Mainly it has been about international orders. 

As of right now I will be putting up an inventory on etsy later, they will eventually be handling the things like the VAT fees and all that. 

Second thing: Tariffs. Things are still insane on that front and ever changing, after a good crop of the surveys have been sent in and I can get a proper quote from my manufacturers I will let you know what I decide and how. 

The backend for this project has been really really tough so I will keep y'all updated going forward. As for now this is a huge milestone in getting this thing done! So thank YOU guys for your help. 

Hello again and sorry for the silence, it has been an abject nightmare on the backend, though none of it is your guy's fault. I'll keep ya'll posted on how this stuff shakes out depending on governmental decisions going forward. For right now I guess to mitigate any extra costs that I may or may not have to shoulder, my preorder store is still open and accepting orders until may, tell your friends!

You can still unlock designs that were locked during the campaign if we get enough orders!

Also the total amount shifted considerably after cards were charged but I will honor the higher total and the total that is posted when factoring in the calculations of unlocking other pins.

I have no literal idea how things are going to look when I put in the orders but I'll be sending surveys out next week, that will give you guys some time to fill them out as I wait out the preorder stuff.

REMINDER: YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT THE SURVEYS. I cannot order things if I don't know how much to order. 

It has been periods of panic and relief as news has come down the pipeline and things have been happening so fast I haven't bothered to update you guys because, to be frank, things change so rapidly to be obsolete on the daily. It is a scary scary time out there, thank you for your patience, consideration, and love for this project. It came at a really hard time in my year and I really needed the win. Love you guys! 

Despite figuring out preorders only a day or two ago they are going very well! We almost have Meiko and Kaito unlocked and we've got a few more pledges already. We've passed 55 pledges and we're on to the 5th and 6th pin! Thanks so much you guys! 

We have about 300 bucks left! Lets goooooo!!!
