Phew, I tell y'all what. Some of the survey building has kicked my butt. "Why does this pledge level translate as expected to an add-on but this one doesn't? Why is this pledge level acting exactly the opposite?" "How on earth did I make 400 variants for this one item?"
Reasons. (Backerkit CS helped me out!)

But all that has been largely resolved, and I expect to send out smoke tests next week. This is so I can wrap up fulfilling "The Return" Kickstarter rewards, and expect to offer a limited number of the Mead (special edition/SE) pin in the survey (This variant, like the accidental blue glitter Mead, won't be produced again.) Here are some photos of The Return pins!

Here's what else I've gotten done in the time between:

Samples purchased and in production. As I'm doing variants for Amber Ale and Stout I'm trying a couple different enamel combinations in the samples. It didn't occur to me until I was picking out Pantones that the green ale/beer variants should also be gold metal (instead of rose gold/silver) to meet the theme of this campaign. Y'all might end up with some super limited variants here!

Picked out the final color combos for the GBD based on the samples. It's ready to be ordered once I get the counts.
Mango, Hawaiian Hibiscus, and the Rampant Marzen Shield(s) have been ready to go and will be produced slightly larger than initially promised. (After making some at-scale printouts, they just look better at 1.6 and 2.1 inches.) There is no price difference on your end, and ordering is just a matter of getting counts.

Outside of minor adjustments, sticker and pin banner arts are also set.

I guess, other than saying I'm almost ready to launch the survey is to ask, should I add t-shirts? I produced a design with the Rampant Marzen and can offer them at XS-3X and will likely need to order more after Tekko anyway.

So! That's where things are, thanks for being patient while I handle a lot of things. Happy Juneteenth, have a lovely weekend, and I'll keep an eye out for comments/questions.
