Hi everyone!

We've been super busy and I'm happy to report that all of the final artwork for the pins is complete, proofs have been approved, and the deposit to start production of the pin samples has been sent to the manufacturer. This is officially the quickest things have ever moved, and I am stoked to see the process becoming better and more streamlined—hopefully we'll get to the fulfillment finish line that much faster.

The Pledge Manager and Pre-order Store setup will also be finished a little ahead of schedule, so you’ll receive an email from us early next week with a special link to your BackerKit survey!

It’s essential to respond to your survey as quickly as possible since we need this information to fulfill your rewards. Surveys will be open until Friday, November 22nd, at which point we'll tallying the final quantities for all the rewards and placing the orders with the manufacturers.

You do not need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the survey invite email, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase additional items if you like. 

After you respond to your survey, you can always go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts. We will be processing any charges for additional purchases AFTER January 1st, 2025, and we'll send another Update to notify backers in advance of charging cards.

Due to the volatility of shipping prices right now, shipping fees for this project will be calculated at a later date. We plan to enter & charge backers for shipping closer to the fulfillment date so that we can offer the most accurate and economical prices. We will keep you informed all along the way and will alert backers when shipping costs are finalized & before we charge your cards.
