Hi everyone! Merry Christmas, I hope you all got to eat something absolutely delicious! We put the turkey in too late as usual so I'm not eating for another 20 minutes or so haha. With the holiday season soon to wrap up on the coming New Year I'm looking to the future! In January 2025 the next Pintopia will be launching, and it is Pins 'n Plushies this time around. I will be participating and look forward to starting off next year on the right haunch!

Or are you just here for Comet & Friends news?
If that's the case, well, stuff has been pretty quiet! We're still waiting on those Eclipse bags. The return plush are still at sea, and the manufacturer won't be starting to make replacements until they arrive. They will be able to remove the horns and turn them back in the proper direction to avoid wasting materials. Since most every order has already been fulfilled otherwise, that's basically all we're waiting on. That and for some sites to catch up with lifting the ban on Canadian USPS postal labels being bought, and a couple other little bits and bobs (such as people having me hold for address changes.)

Some packages have bounced and been returned to me. Particularly a few international ones. They arrived in the last week or so. I have been recovering from Covid for weeks so I haven't reached out to the recipients yet, but that will be coming soon. I got my ability to taste food back just in time for tonight's dinner, phew.

Progress is good on the customs! The full size mega jumbo custom has been ordered, and most of them are actually at the shipping stage along with the single mega jumbo Comet. A couple had some minimal changes to be made and I believe that has happened so I'd be willing to bet we're about to close this particular chapter too. They will likely be getting shipped by boat instead of air, so it will probably be a bit in to February when those arrive.

Anyway! Happy holidays y'all!
