It's Not Delivery, it's Pins

Well, it looks like the first package arrived yesterday and on the previous blog-post's comments there are pictures from the fine gentleman that got them. I'm looking forward to reviews and some recommendations to other people who may be interested.  I'm glad they're being met with such a great response so far.

Currently, I have about 50 sets left and I'm going to obviously want them out of my house asap, so any referrals would be great.

Here's a review:

The coating on the faces is clear as a bell, they stand up perfectly on their own making great display pieces wherever you put them. I collect pins, so they will remain on a pin board until I have a reason to take one out on the town, so I can't way much about the clasps they came with. The design really makes the emblems pop out with the silver/gold lining on some of them. The only thing I was worried about was the glitter sections, but those turned out fantastic as well, very even coating and does not distract from the rest of the design. These are truly something I was glad I put my money forward for. I can't wait to have an excuse to wear one.

The pins arrived very quickly. They are much bigger than I had anticipated and the glitter effect is fantastic. The gold and silver compliment the colors of the pins nicely. I know Karlsland and Orussia and Liberion are really popular, but the Britannia pin is my favorite, the yellow and blue and gold just looks perfect, and it will be one I plan on wearing regularly (Lynne is my favorite too, so...). I will be displaying these among their corresponding figures of each witch on my shelf as well. Thank you again for taking up this project and offering some badass pins for SW fans everywhere.

Here's some pictures

YES!

Fuck yeah.

I'm going to start getting everything ready for shipping, but I thought I'd have more time today to do everything, so I can't really get all of the orders out this coming Monday during my lunch break. However, we're already ahead of schedule.

Just thought I'd mention,
As I work on these orders, I'm going to be playing striktly witch music.

Well, it's finally here. I've gotten final images of the pins from the factory head through the administrator and shipping will start on Monday for registered members of LAWL:I. Not really much else to say other than that I'm really excited for when they come in the mail. I'll be in New York City during the days they arrive, but I'll be sure to have someone at my house to wait for the packages. Thanks a lot for everyone who has contributed so far. I hope seeing the final product will convince more people to contribute.

Gross Miscalculation

Just a heads up, this is not going to really affect you all, but I'm just gonna go out there and say that the previous numbers for sales are much lower than I thought they were. My bank account itself isn't red anymore since I've gotten the first sets of orders, but here is the problem with an earlier post I made...

I have only sold 30 sets of pins instead of the 40 I'd said. That's a pretty huge difference considering 10 sets= $160+ shipping costs. I know I've said it before, but I can't stress the fact that I need to get rid of these pins. I don't want these haunting my room for a year or two. Don't forget to tell your friends about the pins; I need to unload these things asap. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

My "Day Off" Update

Figured I'd post for the sake of posting today. Here's how the orders are, and have been, working:
1. You send me an email saying you want the pins
2. I put it on my spread-sheet
3. Your order is preserved unless someone pays for the last available set of pins

Part 3 hasn't been used yet because we are at 50 total sets being one of the two: Sold/Paid-for or Incomplete Sets (which I don't like having.) Since the initial rush is gone, the remaining orders won't be coming in droves like I'd hope they would. I'm going to be keeping a couple of sets for myself, but that leaves 43-46 sets available for order. The first 50 are already paid up, but I'm still running red. Hope to see more emails soon.

Also, hop on vent and we can chat. I'm here for most of the day.

If you're thinking of ordering pins and would like to secure your pins, please send me an email at Supermikan@hotmail.com
I'm looking forward to getting this out and distributed as soon as possible after I get them. If I can get most of them mailed out within the first week of having them, even better.

Just a little something that I got in the mail today...
