Dragons In Route!
Good afternoon!
Dragon pins are in route. Due to the timing, I will likely be mailing these after the holidays.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season and I lo...
Since I only have one local order to drop off at this point, I am considering this project completed.
Backerkit doesn't really tell me when people comment here until like a day or so later, so if you have any issues with your packages, please email me. I do take photos of every order I send out and they have tracking.
Either way, please keep me updated with any issues. International orders take a bit longer and I may forget to check on them myself, so don't feel bad asking me or the post office (I usually just ask them too lol) about anything.
Thank you again for all the support! You've been so patient and wonderful. All remaining pins will be on site if you missed out on something you may have wanted or if you missed the Pintopia that just ended, those preorders are also on site.
You should be able to click on the image to go directly to the page. If you have a rewards account on my site, it does allow you to use coupons! <3
I need to edit some of the other designs into this post later. I never bothered to take proper photos of the corgi wizards, for example, so I never posted those properly on my site. Same with the potion bottles. The moth pins won't ever be made again, so these are just the leftovers from the project.
Everything has been printed (and the two local pickup people have been contacted already so I know what is going on there) - so working on packing them up. They didn't get here until just before 3pm CST, and our post office closes at 4:30pm CST.
I decided we'll get everything packed this evening and drop it off in bulk in the morning (including the giveaway winner).
Thank you again for everything and I am so happy to finally wrap this all up! <3
The pins are now in route to me so I can start wrapping this project up. These pins cost like $10 each to make and I sort of wish I had just decided because the custom order person completely backed out that I wasn't going to make them in the end. I definitely made a lot of mistakes with this project but I learned for future projects (like charging shipping!).
I can't attach videos so if you're in discord or the FB group you can check there otherwise expect to start seeing mail in route hopefully in the next week or so. I also have a giveaway running in discord with my bot so feel free to participate if you're in the US or Canada. Good luck!
My other Pintopia project ends very soon (55 hours as of this post). I actually paid for the pins to start already since I kept it more restricted in scope. I told my manufacturer I want them by the end of April so fingers crossed that happens.
I have mailed 77 packages out of 168 - some of you have received portions of your items so far while some have not so hopefully none of you are too upset.
So the pins (I just kept updating the previous post with new pics) should be finished when my factory is back in February. They were at the screenprinting stage (the final stage before they get quality checked and mailed to me).
I know people were concerned with the way the yellow was vs how I wanted it but there wasn't a way to do it how I wanted to I guess so it's yellow. I am hoping when I take photos it'll look better than what everyone is thinking about it in the end. Adding this photo here since it was the most recent one.
CANADA For the packages that need to be mailed out to Canada - I still have the ones that were returned and at this point it feels like it's just better to remail everything (even the returned ones) out when I get the dragon pins in. Canada should .. hopefully be through a lot more of their mail by then and I can get the rest of the stuff out together.
LOCAL PICKUP If you're doing local pickup, once those pins come in, feel free to DM me in discord or on Facebook. I will be at Anime Detour so I can also bring your package with me there. That's in Minneapolis.
The prepacked remaining orders!
I am really sorry how long this project has carried on.
Edit 1/27/2025: I just want to note as soon as these come in I will be mailing everything. I know I've gotten some frustrated emails.
Since I couldn't get these how I wanted (plating behind transparent but staying hard enamel) the coins will just be transparent yellow and these are finishing enameling now. I forgot to update about these sooner.
I'll be getting dragons ready for shipping after the new year and going back through orders from Canada that were returned to me and remailing those.
I obviously can't make you, but it was really hard to get people to pay invoices and backerkit backend is very confusing to use (at least compared to Kickstarter which is what I was used to).
Thank you for your patience again and I am working through this as I get to it. = )
