I have mailed 77 packages out of 168 - some of you have received portions of your items so far while some have not so hopefully none of you are too upset.

So the pins (I just kept updating the previous post with new pics) should be finished when my factory is back in February. They were at the screenprinting stage (the final stage before they get quality checked and mailed to me).

I know people were concerned with the way the yellow was vs how I wanted it but there wasn't a way to do it how I wanted to I guess so it's yellow. I am hoping when I take photos it'll look better than what everyone is thinking about it in the end. Adding this photo here since it was the most recent one.

CANADA
For the packages that need to be mailed out to Canada - I still have the ones that were returned and at this point it feels like it's just better to remail everything (even the returned ones) out when I get the dragon pins in. Canada should .. hopefully be through a lot more of their mail by then and I can get the rest of the stuff out together.

LOCAL PICKUP
If you're doing local pickup, once those pins come in, feel free to DM me in discord or on Facebook. I will be at Anime Detour so I can also bring your package with me there. That's in Minneapolis.

I am really sorry how long this project has carried on.

Edit 1/27/2025: I just want to note as soon as these come in I will be mailing everything. I know I've gotten some frustrated emails. 

Since I couldn't get these how I wanted (plating behind transparent but staying hard enamel) the coins will just be transparent yellow and these are finishing enameling now. I forgot to update about these sooner.

I'll be getting dragons ready for shipping after the new year and going back through orders from Canada that were returned to me and remailing those.

If you didn't pay shipping and want to since I couldn't figure this stuff out, you can help by just backing this project at the $5 donation tier here: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/robot-dragon-studios/PilesofPlush/pledge_levels/12722

I obviously can't make you, but it was really hard to get people to pay invoices and backerkit backend is very confusing to use (at least compared to Kickstarter which is what I was used to).

Thank you for your patience again and I am working through this as I get to it. = )

I just wanted to note I got one bounceback from Canada so far so I may not be able to mail anything again until after the strike if everything gets returned to me. Sucks since that's the expensive shipping but figured I should make not that I have currently two packages I need to send out (one was a UPS return - the other a bounceback). Not sure how many others I will get back but I guess if you're in Canada, please keep me informed.

I know the one package to Mexico is missing and I am trying to figure that out as well.

If you got partial orders filled, I do know what else you are missing but I wanted to mail something while I waited on the slower items.

Either way, if you have concerns, please let me know!

I'm working on my next Pintopia thing (which is January 23rd) but starting those pins soon as well so I'm not in the same situation as this project.
