So these arrived today as expected. But when looking at the full set…
I am asking for Jupiter reprints. But what do I do about all the others? Probably only about 15% of backers did not order the Jupiter pin. Do I wait to ship everything? Would some of you mind the smaller one to get them faster?
Ugh. It is always something. Last campaign I ordered two pins too large and one too small.
What is crazy is I made this doc to ensure nothing went wrong this time.
I deleted that old delivery date post because it seems some people were clicking there and not looking any further, then catastrophizing that nothing would be sent.
The end-of-May deadline was set before we realized that the Jupiter pin was too small and needed to be redone. This whole delay was necessary to ensure the pins were produced correctly, and I incurred additional costs to ensure everything was right.
The delay was implemented to ensure you receive a product that meets your expectations and my standards for consistency across the set. While 75% of backers received a complete set, a small Jupiter pin would have been disappointing. If anything, it should have been made larger!
Anyway, they ARE here now and arrived three days ago. I have already sent some out, but it's too late to do more before early post closings on Saturdays.
Just wanted to put a last call out for the collab pin that I accidentally ordered too many of. They are currently in the pre-order shop only here on Backerkit, but I will be listing them in my main shop and putting out social media posts the first week in August for the general public. Remember, once these are gone, they're gone, so don't miss out!
We are on schedule for all of the pins to be shipped out the door by the end of August at the very latest, but I will be working hard to have that happen sooner if possible.
Looking forward to getting all of these beautiful pins into your hands!

My apologies for not updating everyone sooner. There were a number of factors with things running behind, and then on top of that, some back and forth with my manufacturer after receiving the first photos of my pins. I had intended to make some revisions and send those to the factory and then write and update to share! However, this is where I ended up hitting a rather large road bump, where there is some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I received the samples, yay!
The bad news is that there are some issues, and unfortunately the details will be for backers only, my apologies. But for everyone, please enjoy these previews of the pins and the stickers!!
(Please note that the colors are not yet adjusted in these photos. They have not been edited aside from putting them into a collage)
collage of the pin samples, yay
