I hope you're all having a lovely end to your February. I wanted to let you know that the pledge manager is all set up and I'll be initiating the Smoke Test in the next 24 hours. If you're unfamiliar with that, it is BackerKit's way of making sure the surveys don't have any issues so it sends out a survey to a small percentage from each tier. Once that's been done, I'll send out all surveys.

In order to get the final numbers on pins and to place the order with the manufacturer, surveys will close on March 15, 2025. I'll post another update when all surveys have been sent but please make sure you complete yours so that I can get an accurate count and get these beauties into your waiting hands as soon as possible.

There are 10 of you whose pledges weren't able to be collected following the campaign. Fear, not because you have another chance to make those payments through the survey itself. I encourage you to check your account to see if this applies to you so that you're prepared when I charge cards for any add-ons and pending peldges in mid-March.

The cool thing about BackerKit is that you can set stretch goals for the survey process, just like during the campaign. I've adjusted things a bit but we still have a chance to unlock our final 3 designs! Here's how we do it.

Looking forward to taking the next steps with everyone and getting this glorious designs into production!
