Project Update: Production Update

Hey all,
Sorry for the delay, its been quite the crazy month, especially with the whole tariff situation.

Accessories Status
I've recieved updated quotes from our new manufacturer (which provided costs at 3-4x below our prior manufacturer, for instance old manufacturer estimated ~$10/set, while our new one ~$3/set.), Which makes a ton of difference when we're ordering for inventory and trying to maintain sustainability.
Ive also gone ahead and given the green light to start production.

Purple Owlbear
As they're new, they are also included with the accessory production order. In addition, we are getting additional colors of the other types as well.

Pins
Using the counts from the your surveys, we found we needed to order quite a few more pins. This order includes some new designs that we have.
They are already en-route to the US (and have fortunately avoided tariffs).




Next Steps
I am hoping to get a timeline of the production now that things are approved and starting to move with this new manufacturer. (i expect things will arrive in about August/September 2025)

That leaves the whole tariff situation. As of this point, things are crazy and we're monitoring to see how and where things are going...

As for the pledge manager, what I will be doing in the coming weeks, is adding our newly produced items to the pledge manager, so that you can get everything in one package. (and will update you on that as well).
I dont expect to be charging for shipping and locking down addons until June (I will post more updates as we go).

Thanks for your patience, I didn't expect to be changing manufacturer as part of this project, but as much disruption it as caused, its for the better for our long term sustainability.
All the best, 
Andreas
