One week Left for Surveys
19 days ago – Wed, May 01, 2024 at 03:17:22 AM

Hello everyone ,

We've had a great response in the first week! 90% of you have responded to the surveys which is amazing! I'll be locking orders for counts in a week so i can do my orders and get final numbers :>

If anyone is interested in data here is where we are at with popularity! Black Hole and Massive Star are steaming ahead from the original collection



With Most of the Constellation pins being pretty even (apart from Grus the Crane)



Very excited to get ordering heehe

Smoke Test Surveys + the Rest
26 days ago – Wed, Apr 24, 2024 at 03:23:44 AM

Last night i sent out the smoke test surveys! This is a small section of backers who get the survey, and it lets me catch any last errors that haven't been caught in the review phase! 

So far it seems like we haven't had any which is great! I'll be sending the rest of the surveys i can tomorrow. 

Now you might be like, Maybels what do you mean by 'rest of the surveys i can' 

SO The way backerkit imports its backers to the survey side is this first batch is everyone whose payment went straight through, it appears. As it stands, I have 338 of you imported. Everyone else is imported on May 2nd which is when the rest of the surveys will go out. This is a consequence of me trying to get my counts asap. 

If you don't get your survey instantly, or by Friday don't worry! It will come through in that 2nd wave in early May! 

As always, any questions please just ask <3

And thats a wrap!

Thank you everyone! we ended at just over 11k which is wild!!

The project ended just before I fell asleep last night (just GMT London tings) so I missed a quick update there! AS you will have noticed probably backerkit has started to collect payments, it does this in waves, so I can see how much has yet to be charged/how much has etc. 

If your payment has failed, backerkit retries it in a week, I believe, and then after that I should also be able to try failed cards again. If your payment has failed, and you'd like to try something like PayPal instead please comment and let me know, I will do my best to reach out to any failed backers once backerkits 2 tries have gone to see what you want to do 

the survey side is off for review, should take 2 days. Really they don't want us sending them till 2 weeks pass, but as I've said I'd rather have my counts to order pins asap. If things change ill put out an update asap BUT hopefully surveys should start sending Monday/Tuesday time 

I think that's everything covered! Any questions please ask <3 

Final Stretch: Frequent Questions and what happens after
about 1 month ago – Sun, Apr 14, 2024 at 11:26:11 AM

HELLO everyone <3
We are in to the final few days, and I am still constantly blown away by the support for this project! We're nearing 10k and whilst I don't have anything planned straight away I will see what the money left over is like after final counts and see what we can do :3

As we are nearing the end, I've seen a few repeat questions i wanna address:

1. The new constellations aren't available for add on right now, can I still get them?
A: YES! All pins are available as add-ons through the survey, any pins you've already picked as extras will be there also

2. Shipping?
A: Shipping will be charged via the survey, I have the amounts that'll be charged on the campaign page. A tracking add on will be available again through the survey <3

The survey will be sent asap after the campaign closes on the 18th, so I can get all the final counts for ordering! Surveys will only be open for a short time until April 30th. The quicker I can get counts, the quicker I can order and then the quicker I can get the pins to you :3

Remember if you want the free pin from my campaign to check out and back my partners campaign!
