Project Update: All-in options now available! PAY OVER TIME ENABLED (sorry!!!)

It literally JUST became known to me that Pay Over Time was NOT enabled even though I swore I did enable it. Apologies for this! If you have a pledge $150 AND ABOVE you can now choose PAY OVER TIME to pay for your pledge!! This is also a reminder that I am able to ship to the EU this campaign~

Alright folks - it seems that enough of you are okay with/interested in the idea of all pins becoming available during the campaign, and being funded the rest of the way OUTSIDE the campaign over the course of the next 4-6 months.

If you DO NOT want to wait - please only pledge to UNLOCKED ITEMS! Or, there will be an option to pay additional shipping to have your items shipped in batches in the post campaign survey!

I have ALSO adjusted stretch goals - I've removed the planets carabiner as an option, tightened my margins on stretch goals (with the intention of paying out of my own pocket to cover any gaps in that funding) and came up with new, lower, goals. With how things are now, we are actually only $663 away from unlocking stretch goal #2, instead of over $1300!

I have updated achievements to reflect these new goals, as well as the story graphics :) 

Keep in mind, that the pastel rainbow bag colorway will NOT be part of the items available for funding post campaign. This mostly means that even if we fund a significant amount more between now and the 12th, but don’t unlock the bag, the final 2 stretch goal pins will take a lot less to fund than the ~$3250 shown. Most of that is the cost to fund an additional bag colorway.

That said…

ALL PINS UNLOCKED!

 Here is how things will work:

  • ALL PINS will become available to pledge for! Yay! 
    • Oort Cloud and J1407b pin sets have been made available in the add-ons section. THREE new all-in tiers have been added. I have also added THREE additional planet & star pin set add-ons (3, 6, and 10 set add-ons!) for those who don't necessarily want all 14 sets, but still want a bunch. These are slightly discounted, as well (the best discount is the all in mini pins set however).
  • Any amount of funding required to produce the remaining pin sets will be calculated post-campaign by me - I have the totals already squared away, at least, so that part should be easy! I will make these goals known to you all through updates.
    • That will give me a better idea of how long, realistically, it should take to complete funding and get everything above and beyond what was reached during the campaign made. 
  • I will set a strict deadline for me to secure these funds.
    • If this date is not met, I will refund any pre-orders of those items that are not going to be produced.
    • I am very tentatively setting this deadline for all remaining items to be in production no later than July 2026. This date may shift a little forward or backward, depending on how much funding increases (or decreases) over the next ~12 days.
  • You will all fill out your pledge manager surveys as per usual; choose whatever designs you want! I will ONLY include items that I fully intend to produce. 
    • Barring a massive influx of backers before the campaign ends, I do not forsee the planet carabiner, the other large pin designs and their mini pins, or the additional ita bag colorway getting produced. Maybe another day!
  • Those of you who are NOT pledging to items that may take longer to produce will have your orders fulfilled first.
    • This includes Quasar & her mini pin, any already produced add-ons (plus bandages, prints, large stickers, extra inserts & straps), and Midnight Springs' and Chocolat Chaud's black kitty mini pin sets and any freebie items. More might be included in this list if we hit the newly calculated 6.25k goal for carabiners & two more mini pin sets!
  • Anyone who has an item in their pledge that needs additional funding can track updates on how that is going through here, post-campaign! I will update at a minimum monthly, and have a section for updates on the status of those items :)

Please note - if there are a LARGE amount of failed charges post campaign, and the funds I receive end up being significantly less than expected based on the amount raised, this may re-lock items and require additional post-campaign funding to unlock them again. 

All In Pledge Tiers Now Available!

THREE all-in options are now available - All In for ALL the pins; All In Planets and Stars; MEGA All-In Bundle

All In, ALL PINS: This pledge tier includes every pin revealed in a stretch goal so far; three large pins and their accompanying mini pins, as well as ALL mini pin sets; this includes 5 NEW sets I designed myself (had these on the back burner, and want them made lol); 4 separate sets that are a pastel rainbow gradient with gold metal, and a black version of the return backer freebie pin. A grand total of 14 mini pin sets, and three large & small pin sets, for a whopping 34 individual pins. Retail value of $435, available to you for $350 ($85 off the total; or $5 each individual bundle!)

All In, Planets & Stars: this tier is JUST for the 14 planet and star mini pin sets (return backer freebie will NOT be part of these tiers; I have made the decision to make these items campaign-exclusive outside of ready-to-ship events and conventions moving forward. They WILL be available for purchase full price in the post-campaign survey). Retail value of $308 for only $250 ($58 off the total, or ~$4.14 off per set!)

MEGA All-In Bundle: This includes ALL campaign items that will be unlocked either immediately post-campaign, or with additional funding via pre-orders or self-funding in the future; One ita bag (plus an extra strap AND 3 inserts to make room for all your pins); all three large & small mini pin sets; all 14 star & planet mini pin sets; all three carabiner colorways; you will also receive, as an extra thank you, a full set of the pin design stickers free. This is a total retail value of $640 for $460 or $180 off the retail value.

Please note that pledging to ANY of these three tiers will mean that you may be waiting longer to receive your items; however, if you DO want ALL the items in this campaign, pledging to these tiers will also bring us closer to each goal, and ensure each item that isn't quite funded is that much closer to reaching the goal :)

I believe this about covers everything - if you have any additional questions or concerns, please comment below, or e-mail me at [email protected]; alternatively my instagram and Facebook accounts (both my business name) are checked with relative frequency as well!

This is the final update I will be sending to my whole audience. Backerkit will send out a few more, but those are not in my control 😅.


At $6350, stretch goal #2 is unlocked!
Goal: $4,885 / $6,350
76%
We need $1,465 more to reach this goal.
