Good evening, criminals!

Checking in real fast before I buckle down to work for the night. Surveys and preorders closed yesterday at midnight, and cards were charged for shipping and addons.

There's not much to show, except a couple factory proofs, and a reminder or two. First, let me hook you with the fun stuff: 

As promised, thanks to quick surveys, our production cycle on these guys will (hopefully) be short. We're aiming to have them in-hand by June.

I can promise you guys no price increases from tariffs, but, to be as reasonable and transparent as possible, logistics may delay this into late June or July. I cannot guarantee June delivery or retail availability at Anthrocon.

That being said: some of you (yes, maybe you) didn't have successful card charges.

We have two over-$75 full pledges (eesh) and 16 more who had a card fail on their shipping or added item charge yesterday.

I'll be reaching out to the pledges independently, but, it's good to go check if you had a little oopsie. Maybe a card overcharged? Maybe a payment didn't clear in time? Maybe your card expired in April? No worries: give it a look, fix the issue, no need to contact me unless it doesn't clear during the next automatic charge attempt.

The only thing you guys can really do, at this point, is wait. I am still in a holding pattern on CUSTOM CRIMES, due to GOLDEN AGE PARROTS fulfillment. I will be grading pins for most of this week, and then buyers can expect either a preliminary sketch (early surveys, who have info + pics already) or confirmation emails (late surveys). I expect to start drawing, and potentially livestreaming, the art for these badges within a week or two.

You could double check your shipping address, and make sure that's good to go: however, you don't need to really get on that until closer to fulfillment.

Off to work. All 1.5" and 1" pins for GAP are set... time to binge watch Criminal Minds and get all the 2" heavy-hitters done.

Thank you for your patience, and thank you for backing!
