Surveys are locking tomorrow meaning this is your last chance to make changes to your pin choices and add-ons. You can access your surveys here. I cannot guarantee any change requests made after surveys are locked.
If you haven’t completed your survey yet please note your items may be delayed as they may not be included in the manufacturing wave.
We are then on track for an early October pin arrival. I’ll keep you updated.
Exciting news today! I now have sample images for all 16 of the new Pin Dex pins. This should hopefully help you choose your pins or even add on an extra couple now that you can see the finalised designs. Reminder that if your order adds up to 5 or 10 pins total you get the love ball and premier ball mini pins for free. I've also added the existing 10 designs which you can also choose from.
Reminder that surveys are LOCKED IN ONE WEEK at which point you are no longer able to make changes to your pledges. Shipping will then be charged around September 15th. I'm hoping to get these sorted for you in early October, but I will keep you all updated if anything changes.
Firstly I want to say a big thank you to everyone for completing your surveys. We have had a massive 91% completion so far. The remaining 9% take a minute to sit in the naughty corner and think about what you've done. Maybe complete your survey while you're there...
Orders will be locked on the 7th September in order to prepare numbers for manufacture. You have until then to change your choices and confirm your add-ons. It was originally scheduled for August 31st. However I expect to have the sample photos for the remaining six designs available before then. This way you can make an informed choice once you see the last few pins.
Beyond that everything looks to be running smoothly. Thank you to everyone who also fixed their initial payment issue, we are now down to only 6 failed payments. If you do need any help resolving payment issues feel free to reach out. I would hate for people to miss out on their pins.
Surveys are now on their way to you. It's now time to pick your pins, add your add-ons, and confirm shipping plus delivery addresses. Survey will close in 2 weeks to lock in production numbers. You can make changes up until that time but I'd recommend filling it out sooner rather than later to ensure no delays to your order.
Late surveys may have to wait for a second production run as numbers will have been finalised.
On that note, unfortunately more than 10% of pledges have FAILED to charge. I understand that there may be issues with the payment method on file or transaction approval. If you are part of this 10% you will be prompted to update your payment details. Alternatively you can update them when you complete your survey. While a subset of failed payments is to be expected if you do still intend to move forward with your pledge please address this ASAP as it helps me work out the finances for our manufacturing order.
If you have any questions about the survey feel free to reach out.
As a reminder per the shipping info:
Location based price estimates:
United Kingdom: £5 - for most pledges.
America: £15-20 depending on pledge size. This service is FULLY TRACKED and INCLUDES your CUSTOMS TARIFFS.
Europe: £18+ depending on pledge size and item types. This service is FULLY TRACKED and INCLUDES your CUSTOMS TARIFFS/TAXES.
Due to recent tarriff changes for the EU there is a surcharge per item category. The charge for pins has been included in your base shipping. Please consider this charge when choosing add-ons. A surcharge of £5 per extra item type will be added. For example if you order only pins there is no surcharge. If you add acrylic charms it is a one off payment regardless of whether you order 1 charm or 10. If you add stickers it incurs its own surcharge. Item categories which incur charge:
Acrylic Keychains and Phone Charms count as one item type. You can add both and only pay one additional charge
Stickers
Rest of World: £15 for most pledges. This services is FULLY TRACKED but EXCLUDES any taxes or duties. These orders may incur additonal fees from customs depending on your location.
Unless customs fees have been explicitly covered for your location you are liable for any fees that may occur upon import. Shipping will not be refunded if items are returned due to unpaid fees or incorrect address details.
What a rollercoaster the last 3 weeks have been. Not only did we collectively raise over £3,000 to fund new pins, we also unlocked ALL 10 STARTER PINS and 5 Stretch Goals.
This means you have 25 total pins to choose from including existing designs.
I'm going to be honest, I'm sad we didn't get Trubbish. So I'm going to cover the gap meaning you now have 26 designs to choose from.
We unfortunately didnt unlock the Magikarp bonus (only 8 backers away), or Eevee but I will save these designs along with all your suggestions and ideas for a potential Vol. 2 in the future.
I'm in the process of finalising your surveys, these have been submitted for Backerkit review. In the meantime I am going to look to get samples sorted for the stretch goals so we can move quickly into production. I'm hoping to get surveys out early next week. Please fill these in ASAP as it helps to determine numbers for manufacture.
Bad news: I messed up. Good news: It means we unlocked another pin. Stretch goals were meant to go up in increments of £150. But I accidentally made Mudkip a £250 increase. This means all subsequent stretch goals were £100 too high. Good news! I have fixed this which means not only have we unlocked Espurr, we are only £75 from Rockruff.
Here you can see the updated goal list. I've also Pin Dexed the dratini and Trubbish designs.
In other news I have sample images available now for all 10 of the starter pins. Hopefully this will help you choose which designs you want to add to your collection.
I won't be able to send other samples for additional stretch goals before you complete your surveys due to mold fee costs. But hopefully this helps you see how the designs translate to pins.
We are 15 backers away from the Magikarp unlock too so if that's one you want make sure to share the campaign.
