Project Update: Mid-Survey Update - a couple changes, PLEASE READ
A REMINDER THAT THE PRE-ORDER STORE IS OPEN UNTIL I LOCK & CHARGE ALL REMAINING ORDERS IN AUGUST.
The remaining update is pretty much all just info for backers regarding their surveys - but I wanted to be sure all interested followers had a proper link to the pre-order store :)
Please feel free to hop in My facebook group or discord server if you want to reach out to me quick, but comments, reaching out via social media, or my e-mail address ([email protected]) also work!

Project Update: Sorry for the double update - additional info!
Hi again - sorry for the quick double update, but I of course overlooked some things/forgot important notes in my last update 😬
Bat pins will be added to qualifying backer carts soon!
The 5 of us unfortunately have to manually check our list of folks who qualified for the initial freebie set, as backerkit didn’t provide us with a list of our own 2 pin backers - I’m hoping this will be done in the next week or so.
I also didn’t realize that backerkit implemented a new feature that automatically added items associated with early bird and return backer incentives to your cart - as such, you all who have one or both of those are likely seeing the items show up twice. I am going through to manually fix that as well, but it will take a bit of time. I am a chronic over-checker though, so rest assured it will get taken care of during one of the 10 different obsessive checks iver everyone’s orders I do between now and fulfillment 😅
I *think* this is it, but again, feel free to comment or reach out elsewhere if you run into further snags!
Thank you all so much for your kindness and patience 💖💖💖 I appreciate you all greatly!!

Project Update: All surveys have been sent; Pre-order store open now!
Hello all! No issues arose during the smoke test surveys, and enough have been answered that I am happy to send the remaining surveys out.
Pre-order store is also open, for anyone who missed the campaign but wants in on these pins!
Some additional notes:
Popsicle panic gacha spins WILL BE available, so if you already filled out your survey and wanted to go back and add those feel free. I will begin charging cards for those who want theirs charged ASAP on MONDAY, just to give a little bit of extra time for folks to make any edits. After Monday I will be checking once a day to charge any newly filled out surveys.
I had forgotten to add in a question asking if anyone who backed for popsicle panic and this campaign wanted combined shipping - I will be going through to manually e-mail anyone who might qualify for that before I ship out Popsicle Panic orders (which should begin shipping out by the end of June).
I think that's it for this update - please fill your surveys out ASAP, as I will be locking them and placing the order for pins within the next two weeks. The VERY LAST DAY to fill your survey out will be July 3rd. I will be sure to give at least 48 hours notice before locking surveys (unless you opt for an immediate lock & charge).

Project Update: SMOKE TEST SURVEYS OUT! :)
Smoke test surveys have been sent out! 5% of backers at each pledge level should have received a survey as of this update - please fill those out ASAP, as I'd like to receive most of those back before I send out the rest of the surveys.
THIS WILL BE YOUR FINAL WARNING THAT YOUR LAST DAY TO FIX FAILED PAYMENTS IS WEDNESDAY, THE 18TH, IN TWO DAYS. If I do not receive payment, I will be unable to remit your rewards.
This is also a reminder that unless you have pledged for a pin, or added an add-on item to your cart in the survey (or during the campaign), any $1 tier pledges do not qualify for any freebies, including early bird or return backer freebies. Any item added on qualifies you for return backer & early bird freebies, and any item total at the same value as a standard pin ($15) qualifies you for Early Summerween pin set freebies.
Things to keep in mind:
- If you purchase locking or magnetic pin backs, please be aware that the deluxe pin will have AT LEAST 3 pin backs, possibly more - my manufacturer will be confirming the final number of posts prior to production. You will need at least 2 sets of magnetic or locking pin backs to secure it fully!
- Pins from previous campaigns are available for purchase! Peets 'n' Beans paws are only available via gacha, but all others are available a-la-carte. If there is interest in Popsicle Panic gacha options, I will be happy to add those - I've attached a poll to this update for you to vote on! There will be 3 machines available, with between 9 and 10 of the designs in each.
- I have a question at the very beginning of the survey where you can opt into having your card charged IMMEDIATELY vs waiting until closer to August when pins will likely ship. I did this last campaign and it was a popular option, so I brought it back again - please choose whichever option fits better for your financial situation :)
- There are FOUR pin sets available to add to your cart that will ONLY be charged if they are funded: Pastel Potions (which has a lower number of people needed to fund, as it was only partially un-funded due to failed payments)
- Finally and very importantly - I will be adding an additional tariff line item this week, hopefully before the remainder of surveys go out. This is a NEW feature backerkit has introduced that allows me to split the cost of any tariffs equitably between those who ordered pins once I know how much that cost will be. They have let me know I am able to charge this separately from any shipping/add-ons etc. charges, so that if there aren't any tariffs (fingers crossed!) then I will not need to add any charges on. The total cost will be split between folks depending on the # of pins they ordered, so those who ordered only 1 pin will pay a smaller amount than those who ordered more. I do not anticipate this amount being greater than a few dollars per person, given how my manu has explained to me in the past. I will keep you all up to date on the status of this specific topic as I learn more!
I believe that should cover everything important - if you have any issues with the surveys, feel free to comment below, or reach out to me via social media, my e-mail address ([email protected]) or via my facebook group or discord server!
