Hello everyone!
First of all I made a mistake in the survey - I forgot to add shipping cost for those who did not have any add-ons (most of you did have some, so the cost should be correct for you). It should all be fixed, but just to be sure please review your overall checkout summary. 
If you are in Germany, the shipping cost should be a total of 4€, within EU it should be 7€ and everywhere else 10€ no matter your pledge level.

Also please do check if the early bird/collab pins are in your cart! Those should be correct for almost everyone, but if your card payment failed initially, they might be missing. I will check myself before locking the orders once more but it's best to let me know if you are missing something that you were expecting.

I'm so sorry for the confusion!!
And for explanation of the cross collaboration pin: you should see them in cart in the current survey, but the final fulfillment will be done by Mad Child Soul Art since they're ordering the whole batch and it makes no sense to send half of them to me just to send them to the same recipients again!

That being said, my manu & I are already working behind the scenes to get the molds done asap. I will keep you updated.

Hi everyone!
A handful of you should have gotten their survey now where you can make the final choices for your order. This is the smoke test to ensure that there are no oddities with the survey. Once I have feedback on the first handful of surveys and there are no problems, I am sending them out to everyone.

Please respond as fast as it is convenient to you as it will allow me to finalize the item counts sooner!

And also, a few of you have failed payments. If you'd like to receive your pins please make sure the payment goes goes through, preferably within the next week.

This campaign is ove and we unlocked everything. That's wonderful! I can't stress how happy I am with how it turned out, despite the highs and lows we experienced in the middle of the campaign (it happens every single time and drives me mad every single time!). :D

Here's what's happening behind the scenes as we speak: 

- Initial payment (pledge only, no shipping) has been charged. For most of you, it succeeded without any problems! A few of you have had their cards declined, so please have a look at that if you still want the rewards. For those of you who pledged both for our partner project Magic Mix & Match Lanterns please check that your pledge went through for both campaigns so you can receive the cross collaboration reward!
- Surveys & Pre-Order shop are being prepared. If you want to pick up something that you didn't pick up during the campaign, you will be able to do so when the surveys are out. The Pre-Order shop is where non-backers can still order rewards if they have missed the campaign. Backerkit takes a while to import all the data into their PledgeManager, so please be patient. Approximately surveys will be sent 14 days after the campaign ends, possibly earlier if the card issues are fixed sooner by all backers. Please keep an eye on your inbox and make sure to check your spam folders so you don't miss the survey!
- Duncan is writing the remaining stories. I hope you're all excited about reading them!
- Pin Orders will be placed once I have a decent amount of survey responses to reasonably estimate the amount of pins needed (don't worry i will order 20% extra to make up for late responders and B grades). From my experience, I get around 80% survey responses within the first 24-48 hours after sending the survey and I will extrapolate from there and add the 20% on top. I'm trying to ask my manufacturer if we can begin production before settling the final amount so it goes a bit quicker, but no promises there.
- Expected fulfillment is September/October! Of course this is a goal, not a guarantee. My past pin projects have always taken about ~1.5 months to complete, so mid september is what I expect but you never know how busy a manufacturer is or if there are problems with the international shipping. Especialy since we have...
- The cross collaboration pins. There is some extra logistics regarding that, since it's not being manufactured at the same factory as the main campaign pin, so they might arrive earlier or later, hard to tell. I will keep you updated though!
- I will of course provide you with updates throughout the manufacturing process!

Hey all!
One final update before the campaign ends. We've hit our last milestone which means every pin is unlocked AND every pin will get its own writing!

Thank you so much everyone, whether you are a new backer or a day one backer. You are all making this project come to life!

Let's finish this project with grace! I am already preparing everything behind the scenes so the surveys can go out smoothly after the campaign.

Cheers

Hey all!
As you may have seen, we did unlock the sunflower pin shortly after splitting the last stretch goal into the pin goal and story goal! We are, however still chasing after the last piece of story, unlocked at 1800 (that's a bit over 100 bucks away, we can do it!).

1. When the campaign ends, I will send out a survey to a small portion of backers first to test the survey.
2. Once I've heard back from those and there are no questions, I will send out the surveys to everyone else.
3. During the survey, you can make your pin and add-on choices, as well as adding more items to your order.
4. Once I have responses from about 80% of all backers, I will place the order for the pins, and extrapolate the amounts needed for each design, plus 20%-50% extra to account for defects, and I will lock your orders. Normally that happens within the first few days after the surveys are sent out.
5. The pins will go to production as soon as possible then, and will usually take 1-2 months before they arrive. I will share any updates that my manu gives me!
6. If there are no delays in manufacturing, the pins should be here in September (or October). I will then lock your addresses with a notice. Then it can take me a week or two to pack them all up and ship! You will receive more detailed shipping info once that time comes.

If we do not unlock the last story while the campaign is running, any pre-orders or post-campaign add-ons can still contribute to the story goal! That one is not time critical so I'm fairly optimistic that we can hit it one way or another <3

Cheers
