So, just a quick explaination why surveys haven't gone out yet. I'm sorry for the delays.
Not long after the last update, I began to hear that there were big changes coming up for EU shipping. I didn't want to jump the gun on an announcement until I fully understood the implications, but right now its looking like a complicated situation. From the 13th December, there are drastic changes to shipping into the EU. A lot of small business are pulling shipping into the EU entirely, because its very unclear what exactly is required, and it may be very expensive to set up.
I don't want to make any final decisions until we've seen how things work though. It could be the case that it seems more complicated than it is in practice, and usually the first few weeks when things change over are when its most confusing, and most mistakes are made.
However. I can't put the surveys out until I know exactly what we're doing. So on that note, we're going to be delaying shipping and surveys until at least February. Its still within our projected timeline, but that's not a firm guarantee. I will keep you updated.
Just to let everyone know the pin order has been sent to the manufacturer, we're just waiting on proofs and to pay the deposit, I'll cover it out of hand until the funds clear. I went ahead and ordered the last one in the set, I'll self fund it to get the full set. Barring any unforseen changes, the roster of available designs should be at the end of this update, including add on pins and previous campaign pins.
Surveys will go out as soon as I confirm proofs, just in case there are last minute changes.
Please forgive my terribly ugly formatting. I'll keep you updated!
We have successfully funded all the way up to lantern cat. Due to differing timezones I slept through when we hit the goal, but we did it!
Now I prep the order sheets and negotiate with the manufacturer while I wait for Backerkit to process pledges. You should get your surveys out very soon :).
So we have just over two days left! Thank you everyone for your support so far.
Before the campaign ends I just want to make sure its clear how the combined shipping will work. (This only applies if you've also backed the Curiosity Shop Campaign on Kickstarter.)
Backerkit will charge you for shipping after the campaign has finished.
Backerkit does not give me the option to automatically give you free shipping.
Once the campaign has finished, I will finalise the options and send out the surveys within a day or two. At this point you will be prompted to pay shipping. After you've completed your survey, and paid the shipping, I will refund you that amount through Kickstarter.
This sounds a bit messy, but its the only way to offer this as an option. Its easy for me to cross reference the lists and do it manually because you all got an exclusive reward as well :). If you'd rather get a shipping upgrade instead, or a freebie, just message me via Kickstarter. I can make a note on your pledge to organise any special requests.
Any questions, concerns or requests please feel free to get in touch any time.

The Stardust Potion pin is only available as an add-on. We got them on order before the campaign started because these quicksand pins can take a long time to make.
I also added the option to add on our second special effect pin, the ink cap specimen. The bell jar is made from stained glass. This one just went into production from the same manufacturer. Again, this pin is add on only, and won't be in the list of available designs to pick from at the end of the project. Those are just black cats!
