Project Update: First batch (customs) going out!
Good evening, bird gang!
I got back from Woodsflock and immediately got slapped with con crud. Oops. I guess getting coughed on by people who don't know how to accurately report allergies without having a tantrum wasn't a great party trick.
Anyways, the show must go on, so, first batch of shit is going out today. All orders containing custom pins (both fully custom character 50x, and 10x custom morphs) will be shipping tomorrow.
If you are in one of these tiers, you will be getting a tracking number tonight. Your order is insured at no extra cost, just in case someone (UPS, it WILL be UPS) screws up and I need to reorder your $400 of pins.
Some select customers who have outstanding orders with me will also be going out tomorrow. This does not include international orders, who will be going in the coming weekend.
Local pickups are ready! If you are in the local pickup area (Western New York) I will be offering item pickups as soon as I get over my head cold.

- Starting next week, we can find dates to meet at the Rochester Costco. I can meet on Monday afternoons and select weekday evenings.
- Let's grab dinner at Dogtown. I'm usually around after 9 PM on all weeknights.
- Are you the fun-loving type? I will be at the Strong Museum's Happiest Hour on May 15th. You will need to meet me either before or after the event to grab your pins. Let me know if you are going via email and we can arrange a goodie bag for you.
- Missing all this? Let's just ship your shit. PayPal me another $3 and I'll just toss it in an envelope and get it to you.
As for everyone else, we gotta wait for pins to be graded and wrapped. It's more efficient to run through all that at once, and inventory it, before starting on the majority of pledges.
It's going to be a fun time, the next few weeks. I'll be temporarily taking down KEN'S PIN HUSTLE for a full shop inventory and rehaul, to accomodate GOLDEN AGE PARROTS. The format my items are sold in is going to change drastically: instead of everything being grouped together, which hurts search results, every design/character will be getting their own listing.
This will also apply to the CRIMES pins, so that means taking everything down. On top of CRITTER CRIMES stuff, expect me to be even slower on responses for a bit. Yes, I'm also questioning if that's possible, but, it's something that's gotta get done for the upcoming con season.
I don't have an estimated date for GAP's retail sales or the shop's uptime. If you want to buy pins, reach out to me directly, and let's get you sorted.
You probably heard it enough already, and you're gonna hear it again if you backed CRITTER CRIMES: thank you guys for being patient on both of these projects. Shit's gone sideways, and sideways as it might be, I am dedicated to getting shit out. It might be slow, and it might involve some goofy workarounds, but it'll happen.
That shit closes on the 21st, by the way. Wanna preorder some? Go do it here. Remember: no matter how stupid economic conditions are, we're donating $2 from each PRIDE PARROT to GMHC.
