Hi everyone! Just a quick update, I'll be locking orders with final notice today. You will still have 48hrs to make changes to any of your selected add-ons but once those have been locked in that's all!
WE'VE ORDERED PINS I've gone ahead and put in the order for the new pins! Yay! They should be arriving mid-April and while we should be able to make the update the day they arrive and show you what these pins all look like we will likely not be able to fulfill orders until MAY. We're heading into our con-crunch by the end of April so things are getting a bit tight on turnaround. Depending on how things go once we hit April full-steam and when exactly we're getting the pins in-hand we don't want to promise too much. Just let it be known that things ARE moving!
And thanks to all of your generous support, while we didn't sell 35 CHAOS pins (yet) during our surveys we got EXTREMELY CLOSE and the funds raised by your add-ons allowed us to budget for this extra fancy 3 inch pin! HOORAY! Thank you!!! Everyone who put in an order for the pin is going to be getting their hands on CHAOS!
SURVEYS BEFORE I GO--- there are still 20 of you who need to fill out surveys... if you haven't yet PLEASE DO IT ASAP. I'm going to stress now that once the project is CLOSED your reward will be forfeit!! Best case scenario is you fill the survey as soon as possible!! Be sure to check your SPAM for any survey e-mails and if you still can't find it please follow THIS LINK to recover your survey.
Hi everyone! It took us a little while but finally we should be all set for surveys, I'm just got the A-OK from Backerkit to send out our smoke tests TONIGHT before we send out the official slew of surveys after the fact!
SMOKE TESTS If you are one of the smoke test backers you will be one of the first ones with access to the survey! Please let us know ASAP if you experience any issues with your survey so that we can fix it up before we send them out to everyone else! Help us help you!
SURVEYS Once surveys are out (hopefully by TUESDAY latest next week) we urge everyone to fill them out as fast as possible! We like to get a good idea of the counts required for the campaign fulfillment so the sooner we get most of your replies the sooner we can put in some orders for our swanky pins! Keep an eye on your inboxes and be sure to check your spam for Backerkit emails! REMINDER: Your shipping addresses will only be locked down once we've received product and are ready to ship so please fill your surveys SOON even if your address may change! We'll give you ample warnings beforehand once things are getting locked down closer to fulfillment.
NEW DEATH GOD DESIGN So, as mentioned on the campaign that designs were not final and might be subject to change. I was a wee bit iffy on the old design for the death god. This is what the new guy looks like: For those who pledged to this tier this is the only design that will be made available for DEATH GOD. If it's not to your taste, you should be able to swap from your current tier to a different one! If not please reach out here, I'll be keeping an eye on Comments!
CHAOS PIN I also decided to set up a pre-order for CHAOS! It's going to be a 3-inch enamel pin with a lot of the similar visual aesthetics as the rest of the set! Its HUGE. We need 35 orders to turn this guy into a reality for those who are interested, feel free to pick this guy. If we don't hit the stretch goal to unlock this pin, the item will be removed from your carts before your cards are charged by MARCH 18TH and you won't be charged for the item if it doesn't fund!
EXTRAS & ADD-ONS A lot of the pin add-ons offered on this campaign are on their FINAL RUN (all the old myth pins are going into retirement so that I can manage this smaller set much easier!) So grab what you can while its available. These guys are all 1.75-2 inch pins so they're pretty beefy and I'm told they really stand out from the crowd from folks who've bought them previously!
OTHERWISE that's all for now. Here's a reminder (or an adjusted version) of our timeline:
SMOKE TESTS out by TONIGHT
SURVEYS out by next TUESDAY latest
ORDERS LOCKED BY MARCH 18TH (no more changes to add-ons, cards are charged for shipping & add-ons, address can still be edited.
PINS ORDERED (expected delivery early APRIL)
ETC. We'll start here and have a better grasp as a few of these milestones are crossed off! That's all for now! Thanks so much for all your patience everyone! Winter
Hi everyone! I'm just writing a quick update in case things were missed in the comments of the last update. Here's a walkthrough as to how to switch your pledge level:
1- Once you get your email for your survey you'll click to fill out your survey. 2- You will hit a landing page for your survey You can EITHER click the little hyperlink below the green "GET STARTED" button and swap to the pledge level of your choice.
3- OR if you click through "Get started" there will be a banner at the top of your survey that looks like this: You'll click on the hyperlink under "pledge level" (the text that reads C$20 Reward) Which will open up this window: You can click in the top corner: Switch Pledge Levels? and you will be given the option to switch.
NOTE: If you opt to switch from a higher tier to a lower tier you will not be refunded for the credit you paid while the crowdfunding campaign was running. As a rule, we don't do refunds. Or else that would make it difficult for us to manage actually paying for the items that were promised through stretch goals of the campaign.
NOTE.... after this update goes live, I'll be sending out surveys! Please answer them at your earliest convenience SO that we can start putting in orders for merch and getting this ball rolling!
Hi everyone!! PHEW. We did it! I meant to post an update yesterday but didn't want to inundate folks with even more emails than you were getting, I'm sure!
I just want to take a moment to say a HUGE HUGE THANK YOUUU to everyone who backed & pledged to our campaign! We managed to get to 8k!! I'm so proud of us!
We spent some time last night & today celebrating both Valentine's Day and the big success of Pintopia! Yahoo!!
But lets get down to business.
I think the first thing to address:
CHAOS While we didn't make it to 9k I will still perhaps be designing the pin. I think we've tried to resurrect this design like twice now. I figure I'll design it, and post it to the Pledge Manager as an un-lockable design for folks interested in the pin. That way you get to see it, if you like it, you add it, if not, it doesn't fund and the item is never charged to your cards! Super simple. It's worked out really well before!
TIMELINE I realised partway through launching that our timeline was never really stated so here's the plan:
BY FEB 28 -- we should have the funds in hand from the campaigns (minus BK's cut) we should (hopefully) have surveys and pre-order stores up and ready for those who missed out!
1ST WEEK OF MARCH -- we're charging cards for pre-orders & survey add-ons & shipping and putting in pin orders. We're locking orders at this stage but NOT shipping addresses since we'll be waiting on orders to arrive.
LAST WEEK OF MARCH -- Pins arrive, inspected (hopefully) everything is all good and we start shipping. This is when Addresses will be Locked.
APRIL -- we ship!
For each step of the way we'll be posting updates to keep you folks in the loop! We've been pretty streamlined with our pin-projects so there shouldn't be too many issues meeting these deadlines, BUT if anything comes up, you will be the first to know!
From this point on we usually only update once a month unless exciting things are happening, unfortunately there is.... a LOT of waiting at this point.
Otherwise I think that covers everything, if you have any questions feel free to comment or hunt us down on socials. It's a little frustrating there's no DM system on BK but any inquiries you send to BK about our project get sent straight to us if ever there's an issue.
Quick reminder here that if your pledge goes though and you chose to back projects within the allotted time frame, we cannot extend you a refund. This is all-or-nothing on both sides. Please respect that.
We're also a 2 person team fulfilling 2 campaigns (yeah we're a bit nuts) we're generally pretty on top of things and do our best to keep folks happy. Just keep in mind if we're slow to respond we don't mean any harm by it, we're just busy keeping everything running smooth as possible. If we don't respond within a week feel free to follow up and we'll respond ASAP!
Thank you all so much again! I can't wait to make these pins and get them all into your hands ASAP!! Stay safe out there! Winter
Hey everyone! Well how's this for a final 48 hours. We've unlocked ALL my current pantheon designs ;v; I'm really proud of us and all of the work we put into this! You can now pledge to the WAR GOD tier OR add this bad boy to your already growing collection of pins (I'm sure).
We've also gone ahead and not only added the tier for WAR GOD but an entire PANTHEON tier for those who like to keep things neat & tidy and/or would like to up their pledge to the full set. This one doesn't come with a discount BUT--
--THE NEW reward tier does: this new tier with the blanket image gives you EVERYTHING MYTH in our current roster. That's the BLANKET, all 3 books, the pouch, the keychain AND the whole SET of ANTIQUITY pins. Separately this is valued at $300 but for this campaign only we're offering them for $250 instead!
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL-- because for the last 48 hours I decided to add.... one more stretch goal. For a 2-3inch hard enamel CHAOS pin. If we can MIRACULOUSLY hit 9k before times up--CHAOS will be available to add to your pledges when the time comes to fill out surveys. I will have the design properly sorted before that time. I can't guarantee it will be ready BEFORE the end of our campaign. CHAOS will also be included in with the EVERYTHING MYTH tier when and if it gets unlocked. Heck, if we it the 10k before the end I I'll even include CHAOS in with the PANTHEON tier free of charge.
This seems like a steep hill to climb in the final stretch... but I've had and I've SEEN much crazier things happen in my day. So lets see if we can make it happen, yeah??
Thanks everyone!!! Winter
(I wrote this a while ago at the 48hrs but didn't want it to get lost in the shuffle! Also turns out we are making crazy headway into that CHAOS goal already!! Lets get it unlOCKED)!
