Backerkit Survey + Preorder Launch!

Hey all! Thank you so very much for your patience. Backerkit surveys are starting to go out - I apologize for making y'all answer the survey again, but this will keep all the info in one place, allowing for smooth fulfillment of orders. The survey will also allow you to purchase add-ons to your pledge priced accordingly to your pledge level (meaning, if you grabbed an Early Bird pledge, you can purchase the add-ons at that pledge level's price). You can lock in your rewards through Backerkit until September 28th.
I have also opened the pre-order shop! If you missed out on the campaign launch you can snag all the goodies here.
Lastly, Kickstarter deposited the funds. Prints have been ordered, the pin order has been submitted,and shipping supplies have been purchased. Print shipment to my home is roughly October 4th. Backers who only ordered prints will be dispatched first, and should expect fulfillment by late October. I do not have an ETA for the pins just yet, and will update everyone with that information as soon as I have it.
Thanks again for everyone's patience! Have a great week!

Kickstarter surveys have been sent out. The Backerkit survey for add-ons is nearly complete as well, I want to do test runs before it goes live. Thank you all for bearing with me on this - I have done my own crowdfunding in the past, but this is my first experience using Kickstarter and Backerkit, so your patience is greatly appreciated!

First of all,
Thank you all so much for making this project a HUGE success!
So... what's next? Kickstarter will be processing your pledges, and I should be receiving the funds within two weeks. The Backerkit survey is nearly complete and will be sent on Monday at the absolute latest, if not sent during the weekend. The survey will contain all rewards and add-ons, and you will be able to purchase additional pins and prints through the survey. Your rewards will be locked in one week aftercompleting the survey. From there I will be paying the pin manufacturer and the fine art printer for their services, and purchasing fulfillment supplies. I anticipate the orders will begin shipping mid-late October, possibly into November. I will inform you all here of any delays.

Hey all! Keeping this short - this campaign funding will end in 4 days! Don't forget to review your pledge before it ends. I will also send out a BackerKit survery roughly a week from the campaign ending to all who pledged. This is where you can select your rewards, purchase additional pins, purchase the Smilodon print (or exchange the Irish Elk print for the Smilodon), and any other add-on that has been unlocked.
We're also roughly $200 from the Entelodon variant pin, and $700 from unlocking a new pin design - Megalodon and Orange Blossoms.
That's all for now! Feel free to pass this campaign on to your paleontology friends and enthusiasts, we're close to the finish line.
Cheers!

This is an unlocked bonus print now available as an add-on (or if you wish to exchange this in place of the Irish Elk print). We're a little under $150 til the next unlock - can we do it? I think so!
