Project Update: Tariff troubles, mini bag prototypes, finalized pre-production bags, etc

So how about them tariffs huh? I feel like I need to say something now even though I don't have a finalized plan yet, just so nobody is left completely in the lurch. These tariffs are bad. Like, a worse than I have words for kind of bad. I am currently scrambling to find a solution so I can still keep operating even once I have sold all my current inventory. That mostly affects projects I do beyond Backerkit, but it might affect the fulfillment style that plays out here. As such I have postponed charging cards, though orders are locked.

I won't really know what is up until around this time next week at earliest, but as soon as I have any finalized plan for moving forward I will be letting you all know. What I DO know that is important to this campaign:

You will still be getting your 2-bone and haunch bags!
Lanyards are most likely going to be canceled, and production of mini bags is going to depend on the outcome of all this scrambling I'm having to do. If they can't move forward those who have pledged for them will receive full refunds.
If anything else changes for this campaign, it will only be where fulfillment ships from!
Prices will not be raised on established pledges or pre-orders that have already been placed! Even if prices for future pre-orders are raised (which has not been done yet due to all this uncertainty) you are not going to be expected to throw more money at me, so please don't panic!

I'm so tired y'all. I suddenly have so much extra work to do mid-con-prepping-while-sick. I apologize if this isn't very articulate, the energy reserves to write an impassioned rallying speech is not there for me, though I envy the creators who are managing. Every small business is going to be struggling, and things are intentionally exhausting and unclear right now, so we're for sure all going to be encountering some nasty surprises. If you have it to spare patience will be appreciated by all small businesses right now, especially creatives.

Anyway, to not be all doom and gloom, I got some good stuff too. Mainly these! Mini bag prototypes! These are finalized. Many curves are flattened out both by the bag being empty and also just to have the design play nice with having a zipper, but I like them. Right now it looks like only the t-bone steak will actually be produced, but that may change in the future depending on how things go.

Also the bizarre side-tracking dilemma of trying to get the prototypes 100% correct without something else being done wrong in the process is finally over. The Neon Dino bags all have the colors they are supposed to, no baby yellow bone bellies, and best of all THE FRONT AND BACK BONES MATCH. This took way more time than I had anticipated. I was just sent the finalized pre-production prototypes yesterday. I am not sure if our estimates will be changing yet, but I'm hopeful that it won't.
