Just a quick one. I'm working hard in the background getting all of the pins on order. These ones were complicated, and the language barrier is proving a little bit of a challenge - but once the orders are finalised and production begins, I'll give a full run down. A few designs had to be tweaked for practicality reasons, and its going to be very hard to show you until the pictures come in, but overall I think everything works like I hoped. 

Turns out there was an error in the survey despite my checking. If you got the three sticker pack, and you haven't been given the options to pick stickers - put your choices in the notes section at the end of the survey. I'll be able to see this when I pack orders. The options are all of the deisgns that unlocked for the campaign, Elegans in both purple and orange, plus a fancy alt version of all of the designs but with special effects. I'll do a whole sticker breakdown post when those alt designs are finalised, so you know what you're choosing. I have some neat special effect samples on the way :). 

I won't have much to show you for a little while, since manufacturing takes four weeks at the best of times, but I'm expecting more like six to eight weeks after the designs are approved. The special effects take a long time to do and although I spread the order across three factories, we had a lot of pins!

The smoke tests have gone out! Everyone else should get their survey within the next day or two. If you could take the time to fill them out I'd appreciate it, so I have an idea of how many for each design to order. Cards won't be charged and orders won't be locked until its time for shipping to start (and you'll get a couple of days warning before hand). If you'd rather be charged straight away, just leave a note at the end of your survey.

There's a bunch of stuff in the add-on store, including pins from previous campaigns. If you go all the way to the bottom, you can find some of the new products we're going to be ordering in at the same time as this batch of pins. They are marked at a discount, since this is a 'test run' for some of these new items. They may not be printed again, so if you like it then grab one now. 

A couple of designs that were locked in the pre order store have been unlocked. That's because the manufacturer gave me a very good price for the new quicksand pins. 

If anything's missing, if you'd like to customise something, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch :)

Hello hello ~

First off a massive thank you to everyone who backed the campaign. Its been more successful than I could have hoped. You guys, we are gonna be making so many sea slugs.

So what happens next?

Surveys are going out much earlier than I usually do this time, so I can get a handle on how many of which designs to order. Depending on BK support, they should start filtering out in about a week. You can fill yours in right away, but cards won't be charged until we're ready to start shipping. You can add, change or alter your choices until we lock them in - and you'll get a good couple of days warning before surveys are locked. So please, help me out and fill them in at your earliest convenience :).

Surveys will give you access to the add-on store. You can add and remove stuff until surveys are locked. There are some new things in there to pick from including some stationery and sticker books. We're trying out the stretch goal feature to see if there's interest in other items.  Both elegans colourways will be listed under the Cyerce Elegans add on (see below). If you want a preview of what's in the add-on store, check out the preorder store for a peek (if you go to the main campaign page, hit the 'shop here' button). Everything listed will be in both.

The one thing that won't be finished for a little bit are the holo/foil sticker designs. I'll make sure there are previews before orders are locked in so you can decide to switch if you'd like to.

If for any reason you'd rather have your card charged right away, just put a note in the notes section of your survey.

Lastly! The poll for the Cyerce Elegans alternate colourway is over, and purple definitely won. Orange was pretty close, so I think we'll definitely do an extra sticker for the orange version too. I'm going to add a stretch goal to the add on store for the orange version of the pin, and if 25 people purchase this version of the design then we'll order it :D. If it doesn't reach the required amount, you won't be charged for it.

Otherwise all I can say is, thank you again :D. Feel free to leave any questions here or send me a message. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend ~

We're moving into the final 48 hours! Time to make sure you've got your pledge where you want it and make sure you have all those add ons you desire ;).

We're very close to £6k so I've put up a poll for the three colourway options for the final Cyerce Elegans pin. The blue version will be available either way, this is just for an extra colour option. Make sure you vote for your favourite ~

Here's a closer look;

Orange, with gold metal;

Purple, by request;

And good old pink again.

As always, thank you for your support :). I hope everyone is having a wonderful Pintopia.
