Project FAQ
Nope! Only as seconds, once all the standard grade ones have sold out. They will be gacha-only after this campaign! The ONLY exception to this is when I sell in-person at conventions where gacha machines are BANNED. I will then have them on boards at the higher individual pricing, not at the pricing for spins!
"Standard" pins (formerly "B-Grade") are any pins that don't have visible flaws within arm's length. Flaws may still include things such as uneven enamel, scuffed metal, dust in enamel, slightly-misaligned printing. It generally takes a very discerning eye to notice standard grade pin flaws. Anything with flaws visible over an arm's length away is a "seconds grade" pin and will be available severely discounted individually once all the standard grade pins have sold out.
I ship internationally, however, due to VAT law, the UK and EU have order minimum restrictions of 135£ and 150€, respectively. Please also note, as depressing as this is to mention, if you are in or neighboring a country actively embroiled in war, or even just have a lot of chaos in your postal system, there may be significant delays/difficulties in receiving your packages.

BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
