Looks like the existing sample is up to most people's liking (according to the votes) so I will let my factory know the sample is approved.
Factories are on break again til May 5th (they will be back May 6ths), so I will be getting the two dragon designs ready to submit with this. I am going to use my other factory for the snake & sauce designs.
I had intended on ordering all the remaining designs with the bearded dragon once the sample was done (since batches seem to complete better than giant orders), but with how slow my main factory has been lately, I will have a second factory handle the other pins instead. That should speed things up at least.
The larger designs will still probably take a few months since that seems to be what their timeline is lately. Smaller designs (snake & sauces) should.. hopefully not take as long? We'll see I guess. I'm on the fence about doing a sample of the small snake which would increase the timeline, but I do think I care about the colors a lot more and they'd still be done faster than the larger dragon & bearded dragon I think.
I'll talk to both factories when they return either way and figure out what my best option is to move forward. A large number of orders will be filled once the dragon pins currently in production are done at least. I will be thrilled to get this completed and I can't apologize enough for having dropped the ball so badly on this.
I leave you with a photo of this box of prepacked stuff for this project. Have a great weekend!
