Oh dear, it seems like we are in the last 24 hours of the campaign now. That's both scary and exciting!!

If you're worried about Backerkit blocking your card for charging multiple times in one day once all campaigns are over- do not worry. You will be able to add extra items during the survey stage once it is released at the end of February!

So let's do a quick Q&A!

Jay where is the postacard!!!??!
I hear you crying out. I'm also crying out. I will do my best to get it done before the survey is released! The design of it will be polled from the first few thumbnail sketches.

I want the Rubber Charm freebie but I'm strapped for cash right now!
No worries, your survey additions count towards that total too! So even if you spend under the €45 treshold during the main campaign to stay in budget, once the survey rolls around (in three weeks time for new payday rollover) you can add more items to reach the freebie and it will count!

I don't want any of the pins but I still want socks/stickers/charms. What do?
Well my dear friend, that is what the Tip Jar pledge is for! You get the €1 tier, you get access to the add-on store. While the Tip Jar pledge doesn't usually qualify you for freebies, if you're spending an equal or over the amount a pin costs through add-ons, you can still earn them for yourself. Because I appreciate you! But also the freebies do cost me money so the minimum to qualify is to spend over €12!

Have the new shipping prices been implemented yet?
Yes! The online calculator for my post office was finally updated, and I was able to edit the shipping section for you to review.
As much as I usually trust my post office to deliver most mail fine without tracking, since this is an investment for everyone, anything over 2 pins will be tracked. And if you're getting over 10 pins it will also be insured, which is a slightly higher price, but it's a safer option.

If you are from the USA, I really really really urge you to read about the tariff situation in the shipping section.
I understand that a lot of backers will be put off by that, hence all the group order options. I will reiterate on that during the survey too, and collect valid email addresses in case you prefer a different one to be contacted by for the tariffs.

I want a lot of extra pins but would like a discount.
I hear you! Other creators have given me the idea to include the x4 pin pledge to be an add on as well that includes the discount per pins. So instead of getting 4 extra pins for €12 each, you can get the x4 pins add-on for €47. The same goes for the whole set.

When will the final artworks be done for all the pins?
Before the end of the survey, I would hope. If I don't manage in time, I may extend the survey.

What even IS the survey???
It's where I will collect your address, details on which pins you'd like, and where you'll be able to select extra add-ons. What the main campaign charges is your initial pledge, during the survey you're charged a second time for shipping, extra add-ons, etc. It's less straining on your wallet that way.

Do you ever take breaks?
Absolutely not, bury me with the bugs when I perish from this mortal coil.

We can't forget about our lovely collab partner now can we?
38% of ye have pledged to both me and Extrashvaganza! Which will earn ye one freebie pin from each of us. Isn't that just exciting! That's quite a high number of ye. I'm really happy you all vibe with the both of us :D

Can I get them separately without backing both campaigns?
Oh aren't you cheeky. Not for a long time you will not! Left overs of my little trash bug will only be available at in-person conventions. So you better get to it!

And, as you know, if you back any 3 projects in the Animal Akademia banner, you'll aslo get this wee little ancient moth pin (I don't feel like writing out it's name again.)

Now let's get this show on the road! Let me know what you're most excited for :]
