Good news is that all of the pins have been completed. 

Temporarily unlocking addresses again for everyone. I locked them 3 months ago since I was expecting to have orders sent out by February. I was not expecting severe delays in this project. 

If you need to change your address, I have unlocked them. The address will be locked on permanently on  April 15th!

If you need to see the status of your order, check here with the email you used!

Estimated Delivery Date
about 2 years ago – Tue, Mar 22, 2022 at 07:31:07 AM

My pin company got back to me and said that they should be finished with the pins at the end of this month. It usually takes a week for them to ship out everything so I should be receiving everyone's pins around early April. 

US orders should be receiving their orders around mid to late April 

Also please fill out your survey if you have not done so. If you do not fill in your survey by April 5th, then your order will be considered a "Rewardless Donation" and I will be unable to send out your order. 

Please message me if you cannot fill out your order. 

A few more completed pins

A few more completed pins! I'm not quite sure what the estimated delivery time will be at the moment since  I am waiting to hear back on that. I'll be posting as many updates as I can to keep you all in  the loop! 3 Designs have been completed and the rest are still being "plated" or have a few more pins left for production! 

Pin Progress w/ picture

Sorry about the lack of updates. Things were heavily delayed last month due to Chinese New Year and the Olympics. Production is back on schedule and they even showed me a finished pin. I might have a few more pictures later on in the week! Right now they're still getting back to me on when I should be expecting the pins! If you ordered just stickers or a sticker sheet, they should have been sent to you already. The stickers and sticker sheets won't be available to the public until I finish sending out everyone's pins! 

🏮Production Delays 🏮

Hi there everyone and Happy New Year!

Chinese Lunar New Year

🏮Chinese New Year is a major Chinese holiday that happens to be around the corner and fun fact, it happens to last around 15 days. It will also be the year of the Tiger.  The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics also happens to take place around this time. Since my pin company is based in China, production is going to be looking pretty slow in February. 

If I manage to get my pins early,  I will let you all know as soon as possible! Right now, we're most likely looking at March for when I'll be able to get the pins and grade them.

I apologize for the terrible timing.
