Project Update: First Pins Have Arrived, Small Delay on Shipping (Addresses Locking Next Week!)

Hello, Adventurers!

We've arrived at when I thought all the pins would be solidly in hand and getting ready to send out but have run into some delays along the way. A few updates below!

The first pins have arrived! Mini pins were delivered officially TODAY and grading has begun. They're so cute!
All other pin proofs (except "Compete") have been re-approved and are back in production. After the pins had moved into the production stage my manufacturer wanted to re-review a few parts of the proofs so we went back into proofing stage. It's important to note that this isn't a usual part of the process - usually once proofs are approved that means all parties are agreed on what the pins should look like and production is pretty straightforward and somewhat predictable, so this was an unexpected hiccup due to reasons outside of our control. However, we've officially moved back out of proofing and back into production (and I expect "Compete" to move into production this week) and I don't have any reason to believe that we'll revert back to proofing again at this point, which means the rest of the pins should be in hand soon. I'll send another update when these are for sure in hand!
IMPORTANT: I plan to lock addresses next week! Since some things have arrived, I'm going to start shipping out what I can as current pins are graded and then plan to ship as quickly as possible once the rest of the pins arrive. You'll all receive a 48-hour warning that addresses are locking.

My sincerest apologies for the delays and thank you for your patience while we work through them! This has been an unusual production journey for these pins but everything is hopefully back on track and I will be doing everything I can to get these out before the end of the month pending any further delays. I will note that it is possible I won't be able to ship some orders until early September. I will be away at a couple conventions the last week of August/first week of September and some of the production delays mean some of the pins may arrive just before heading to these conventions or even after. My goal would be to get them all shipped out before I head to the conventions if at all possible but we may have some really tight timing there and that's fully up to production at this point. I will keep you updated as we get closer to the end of the month and where we're at with shipping. Fingers crossed!

Thank you all again, and more to come very soon!
