.. and the pins will be shipped in August!

So be sure your details are in the Pledge Manager until then. Good news: About 75% of you already filled out the pledge manager. Just a friendly reminder to the remaining 25% to take a look :)

Pledge Manager Approved + Preorder Store Now Open
2 months ago – Thu, May 14, 2026 at 12:20:04 PM

Hello, hello!

Just a quick heads-up: the pledge manager has been approved, smoke testing has now started with a first batch of backers, and the preorder store is now open.

If no issues come up within the first few days, pledge manager invitations will go out to everyone.
Most of you probably know the drill already, so long story short: watch your inbox!

If you missed the campaign or want to add something extra, the preorder store is now open as well.
Should any questions come up, please let me know in the comments.

Best,
Greg

Pins are in production!
3 months ago – Mon, Apr 13, 2026 at 01:59:06 AM

Hi everyone,

I know this news feels a little out of order… and frankly, it is!

I put in the order for the pins before opening the pledge manager. Why would I do that?

First: The project is so small that I really can't imagine the additional pledge manager orders changing the order size significantly.

Second: The world of shipping is a little crazy right now, securing the items first felt like the right call.

Third: You'll get the most accurate pledge manager ever! 🙂 This way I can give you the best pictures and most accurate timelines possible.

And honestly? That's pretty much all there is to tell: sometimes no news really is good news!
If you have any questions, just drop me a line.

Thank you again for all your support!

Short Update
4 months ago – Sat, Mar 14, 2026 at 12:59:21 PM

Hi everybody,

Have you all been getting as many Pintopia emails as I have? My inbox has been quite the adventure these past weeks.

I intentionally took a short breather after the campaign wrapped up to let everything settle down a bit. Now that things are calming down again, I’ve started working on the pledge manager.

My current expectation is that it will open within the next two weeks. As soon as it’s ready, you’ll receive an email with instructions so you can confirm your pledge, choose add-ons, and finalize your details.

Since the pins are already prepared for serial production, I expect the rest of the campaign to move forward smoothly.

In the meantime, I’ve also been taking the opportunity to shoot a few new photos of the project, so you might see some updated images appear on the page soon.

Thanks again for making the campaign such a success!

More soon!
Greg
