BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.

Are these pins limited edition?
We cannot guarantee that we can continue to have them in stock after they sell out. Your best opportunity for acquiring these pins is to snag them during the campaign.
How do I select which pins I want after the campaign ends?
Once the campaign wraps up, we’ll send you a BackerKit survey where you can confirm your pledge and select your pins. If you’d like to add extra pins, you can do so at this time.
How do I qualify for the Oddities & Obscura freebies?
Pledge for at least 6 or more of the projects in the Oddities & Obscura event and you'll get one freebie from each creator you backed! See all of the participating campaigns here: https://www.backerkit.com/c/collections/oddities-obscura
Can I add more pins to my pledge later?
Yes! After the campaign ends, you’ll have the opportunity to add more pins or adjust your pledge during the BackerKit survey phase.
When will the pins ship?
We estimate shipping to begin closer to September 2025. Please note that production and shipping timelines can be affected by unforeseen delays, but we’ll keep you updated as to the project’s progress.
How can I support if I can’t pledge?
Even if you can’t pledge, you can help by sharing the campaign with friends, family, and fellow dragon enthusiasts! Sign up with our newsletter and keep up with what we’re up to at https://dreamvalestudios.com/pages/newsletter
