Here with a bit of an update on all sorts of things so strap in.
First of all, sticker update. I got all the stickers in a couple of weeks ago but I didn't feel they warranted an instant update. We had a bit of a rough going with the glow in the dark stickers at first, which had come out rather mangled looking, so they had to be redone. The remake is thankfully fine.
TADA!
As for the messed up run, they still stick, they still glow, so all of you will receive one as an extra freebie, I'm sure you'll be able to find a surface to stick them on.
No dark vision required
The other stickers came out wonderfully straight away - I only have this terribly off colour balance photo of them on a background that's absolutely not a trading card binder right now... so you'll just have to trust me that they look good in real life.
UP TO NO GOOD
Okay and finally there is one more pin that I would like to make available...
On their way to help you cut your toast just the way you like it...
TECHNICALLY this isn't part of the campaign (with it being a different style) but the production timeline is lining up with the campaign pins I wanted to offer it with free shipping to you lovely campaign backers.
This said, this pin will be made by another manufacturer than the campaign pins so it will feel different from the other pins (plating may feel different and the spots on these will all be screen printed).
For free shipping (you can also get other items with your order if you'd like, just be aware they won't ship until it's time for your Backerkit rewards to go out) use this code on checkout: KBLD26
The final update is a bit of an oopsie... because I realised I forgot to mention on the campaign blurb that two elements of the Bomber are going to be glitter. If you picked this pin and it bothers you please contact me (you can swap it for another pin or we'll work something else out).
That's all for now. As always if you have a question you can shoot me a message here or contact me at [email protected]
After a couple of small tweaks (thank you to everyone who put up with the smoke test) I just sent out surveys to everyone. If you could fill them out ASAP that'd be amazing.
I know it already says it in the title, but please fill it out by June 21st. I plan on starting the production shortly after the project funds are in, meaning I need to know what everyone wants to get.
If you don't fill it out by June 21st I cannot guarantee a standard grade of your pins!
Technically speaking I will order in enough to cover having enough of each design, but I've had cases before when all late surveys picked a design that was barely picked up before, throwing my estimates out. I would like to avoid that from happening (manufacturing costs in this economy are nothing to sneeze at).
Just to remind everyone: you won't be able to pick up pins as add-ons on the surveys, only stickers. You will be able to pick up extra pins when I have them in hand and graded (via my own store).
That is all for now. As always, should you have any questions please send them to [email protected] or leave a comment on this post!
First 'big' update since we launched the campaign. We very successfully wrapped up the campaign last week (yippee) and now we're getting to the production side of things. So, time for me to get yapping.
1. I discussed potentially adding another sticker design if we hit 6k and while we technically have done so, we have around 600 in errored pledges (please double check if it's not you, there's only limited time to fix your pledge), so I'm not going to do this because it would strain the budget.
2. SURVEYS! I have just sent out the smoke test (a couple of you get the survey to test if there any problems with it). Once that is finished I will send everyone the survey and make another update so you know to keep an eye out for it.
3. Add-ons: You will only be able to add stickers to your pledge during the survey. If you want additional pins you will have to wait until I have everything in hand. As is custom for me I will run a backer store before I start shipping everything, here you will be able to pick up seconds and more.
That should cover everything for now. I expect to receive the raised funds in 2 weeks or so after which pin production can start.
It was about time I made the first update. First of all I wanted to thank all of you for your support with this campaign. While I have a lot of Kickstarter campaigns under my belt, I'm still new to Backerkit so I was very worried we wouldn't get funded because this is a new platform... only for all your support being so incredible that we hit 5k today! I'm still stunned!
As for the campaign, I'm currently not planning on adding pin stretch goals unless we hit 7k. Like everyone who's backed a campaign from me before will know the reason for this is that I'm worried about overstretching - fewer pin designs keep the risk low.
I understand this lack of additional goals this may be a bit disappointing but in the current state of the world I have to be more careful than ever and I'm sure you all understand!
This said, if we hit 6k I will be adding an extra sticker design, so stay tuned if that happens!
That's all I got to share for now, thanks again for joining the pack, I can't wait to share all these kobolds with you.
