Latest Updates from Our Project:

Last call for order updates!
almost 7 years ago – Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 08:12:49 AM

The last day to make final updates to your order is the 14th July. After this date, I will be locking your reward selections and charging cards for add-on item purchases, pledge upgrades, and pre-orders. You can still update your shipping address after this date up until I lock addresses for shipping.

If you haven’t answered your survey yet, if you fill out your BackerKit survey or pay for extra shipping after the order due date, I will still receive your information but your shipment may be delayed.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://palaeoplushies.backerkit.com.

THANK YOU!

Thank you all again for being so responsive to answering our BackerKit survey—even though it may not seem like much as an individual backer, you have no idea how tremendously helpful this has been for me when trying to keep track of all 572 of you!

Thanks everyone for your support!

All the best,
Rebecca

Embroidered Patches have Arrived! + Pre Production Plushie Photos
almost 7 years ago – Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 11:06:20 PM

Hi all!

The first reward to be completed is in my hands; Embroidered Patches have arrived and they're looking great!

 I've also received some preproduction photos of the Archaeopteryx plushies. We've made a few improvements before it went into full production; now it stands on it's own!

 

 I've also just ordered the t-shirts! So that makes everything now in production, now to sit back and wait for the other things to arrive so I can start shipping!

I also need to order a whole bunch of packaging, eek!

Thanks again,
Rebecca

Plushies are in production!

A quick update just to let you all know how things are progessing!

I placed the order for the plushies today following a little bit of a faff with international bank transfers. It's all sorted now, yay!

I'm going to be ordering the t-shirts soon. There's still 5% of people who haven't replied to the Backerkit surveys and I'll be contacting you soon if you haven't, but I have enough data to order the right quantity of shirts now, anyway!

I plan on locking down the Backerkit surveys at the end of the month, so make sure your details etc. are all correct!

Regards,
Rebecca

Things are on the move! + Preorder store accepting PayPal again
almost 7 years ago – Fri, Jun 09, 2017 at 03:22:40 PM

Whilst you've all been busy filling out your surveys for me, I've been busy ordering the pin badges, embroidered patches and plushies!

(If you haven't filled out your survey, you should've received an email from Backerkit with a link to the survey. Message me here through Kickstarter if you haven't got it!)

I've just got the proofs back for the pins from the company who is producing the pins and patches, and they're looking great so far! I'll update you once they've arrived!

I'm just waiting on the invoice for the plushies and ironing out the last few details there. The last thing I'm going to order is the t-shirts because they're pretty quick to produce and I need to make sure I order enough of all the sizes, so I'm waiting on the last few surveys for that.

There was a few issues with my Backerkit hosted preorder store, where the paypal option on checkout wasn't showing up. This has now been fixed!

I think that's all for now,
Thanks all, I'll keep you posted,

Regards,
Rebecca

Oops! Pin Badge Options now available on Backerkit.
almost 7 years ago – Wed, May 24, 2017 at 11:40:41 PM

Hello!

It has been brought to my attention that the two different colour options for pin badges were not displayed on the add-ons page. This has been corrected now!

If you have ordered a pin badge as an add-on already and couldn't select a colour, you can now select the one you want by going in and editing your survey! I'm very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Regarding the pin badge backs- I initially planned on having a safety pin back, but I've had a number of people requesting regular pin backs instead (so they can push them into boards as part of a collection and things like that).

Please let me know if you feel strongly either way, because I'm now leaning towards regular push-pin backs due to demand.
