Here is the word from the producer:

So that is soon! They should only take a few days to arrive here and we will start shipping as soon as they arrive. BTW: They also fixed that error on the Mars type.

———————

We also have our DINO EXTINCTION campaign still running:

And we just put up a teaser page for something REALLY DIFFERENT. This was designed by my 8-year-old daughter! PoopEmoji Pins featuring things you never knew poops doo.

And if you want to pre-order more Spacecraft pins. We have a pre-order page up and you can pre-order them at chopshopstore.com as well.

We just saw a pretty ugly TYPE issue on the Mars pin. They are fixing it, but it will probably add a few more days delay to shipping. The rest of the pins are approved and are being printed. 

So all that is left is this revision and actual shipping time from the producers to our warehouse. 

We’ve got a new pin campaign live on BackerKit: two classic Chop Shop designs and four new ones—all themed around Dinosaur Extinction (with a few reminders that we humans should avoid the same fate). 

 

As a previous backer, you’ll automatically get a free pin when you back this one. Early birds and followers get free stickers, plus there are stretch goals and other add-ons to unlock. 

 

Follow the campaign and share the link if you can: 

The proofs are in. They look great. Although the photos could be taken better. The reflection on the metal lines makes the contrast kind of weak. But I can tell these are all on the mark.

Just one comment follows below. 

The only comment I had was the grey “sky” in Curiosity was supposed to be a dark red like seen in Galileo.

Not sure if they can revise that, but apart from that I would say these are all approved.

There is also the bonus “free” pin for repeat backers.

Beyond that, can you guys take this poll for the new pin campaign?

BackerKit is a thorough application and really, I like it this way. There were required waiting days for some processes like locking orders, then collecting final payments for shipping and add-ons. 

I just ran the cards on the final payments. I noticed to late that it says, “do this when you are almost ready to ship”. I am new to this platform, so sorry if I did that too early. The pins are just ordered and I expect they will take at least 3 weeks if not longer to arrive here. 

Here is a rough sketch of “Look Up!”

Not much to update, except…

THE SURVEYS ARE SENT

Please check your mail and respond ASAP. I am looking to firm up at least 75% of backers before placing the order. I would love for this to be my quickest crowd-fund ever! Looking to ship as soon as they arrive here.

And the final proof is the Rosetta Pin:

Last chance also to vote on the next campaign and the Dino Extinction Pins…
