About 75% of the smoke test survey responses have been submitted 🎉. So far, the responses are looking great! We have sent out all the remaining surveys. Please check your email inboxes (including spam folders)!
We kindly ask that survey responses be submitted by August 1st, 2026, at 11:59 PM EST.
We will be manufacturing the pins based on the quantities recorded in the surveys. If you are a backer who opted for the pay-over-time option, we will order extra of each design to ensure there will be enough pins to fulfill everyone's pledges.
All survey errors found so far have been fixed, and survey responses from the smoke test should be updated. If there are any other issues with the survey that we have missed, please feel free to email us at: [email protected]

Listed shipping rates are in CAD (Canadian Currency).
Note: Please note the US shipping fee includes duty and tariff fees. We understand shipping to the USA has become expensive due to the tariff situation. If we find cheaper shipping alternatives to the US by the time we fulfill orders, we will refund backers the difference.
