Collectors: A solution to store and display your miniatures

Shipping update
3 months ago – Tue, Jan 13, 2026 at 01:06:06 AM

Hi everyone, 

Short start of the year update. I know we are very delayed, a lot of backers started asking for direct shipping options, unfortunately they are incredibly high (3-4x the cost that backers already paid to get it shipped directly) I will send those to backers that requested them anyway so they can have them handy. 

But now for the actual good news! I found a freight-forwarding service that seems to have a cost that is higher than we originally anticipated, but not as much as I got last year, so I am in talks to see if we can get everything shipped which would mean we would no longer need to ship to individual backers. 

I have a meeting with them next week, so I hope to have more news on that front then. 

Sorry for the delay, I know this is not a great update, but thought to share where we are at. I will try to get through direct messages next week and answer to those that have them pending. 

Fulfillment update

Hi collectors! 

Sorry about the lack of updates, we are manufacture and package complete.

The project is stored at our manufacturer's site. Unfortunately the price rises from internation shipping combined with the tariffs has made it a bit hard to find a solution within our budget to ship to our fulfillment center (price compared to our quote when project launched is 5x which is just not doable). 

We are working very hard to get the finished product in everyone's hands. We worked really hard to make them and now they are all ready, but moving them has been the hard part. 

We hope to find a solution for shipping soon, we'll keep you updated although it does present a challenge since we have limited funds, and have already spent (from our pockets) more on storage than intended. 

I wanted to share a better update with better news, but thought I would share where we are at. We are trying hard to find something November, since December will se Holiday price-hikes which would most likely mean delays until next year, in any case if that happens I will let everyone know. 

Sorry again for the not-good news, but we are still working on getting the rewards to your hands, if we find ourselves at an impasse we will let you know. 

Thanks for understanding, I know these are not the news everyone wanted, and while the outlook looks grim at the moment we will work to find a way forward. 

Fulfillment status and general update - Backerkit address unlocked for requested backers!

Hello Collectors!

The project is being boxed-up as we speak, we finally got our boxes and envelopes to our manufacturer, and they are starting the packaging process. I will upload pictures of the process later this month. 

We are still looking for a freight solution, we have found a couple options which are sadly a bit out of budget for us. The Collector boxes are slim, however they are a bit heavy for their size. A Collector X weights at 8lb and a VY weights 6lb so in the end we are looking at about 4 pallets of quite heavy stuff we need to move to the fulfillment partners, we are looking into shipping the whole lot to the US and then freight forward to other places from there (shipping direct from Mexico is quite expensive, even by boat, so we are looking at alternatives). 

We have a couple more leads to explore! so hopefully one of them pans out and we find a fast solution to ship these out sometime November is our current estimate. 

The current world is a bit chaotic and logistic partners are changing costs week by week, so we are adapting as we can. Once we have the project completely ready to ship we'll have to make a fast decision, and we'll keep everyone in the loop.

Backerkit address unlock requests! 

I have unlocked the addresses for people that requested it through DM's and caught up with those, so if anyone still needs an address change, please send me a DM so I can unlock your pledge! 

Thanks as always! Hope to have more news by the end of the month! 

Fighting boxes but moving forward!

Hey Collectors! 

We are moving with the project, some things are taking a lot more than expected but here is where we are at! 

• Manufacture is now 100% complete! All collectors are accounted and ready. They are awaiting the boxes to start final packing. 
• Boxes! We ran into some issues (pictures below) with the final box for the Collectors, the manufacturer didn't respect the specs we provided and the boxes ended up being about a half an inch short in all directions, so we had to send them back and make changes on the design. 
• Envelopes! We have the envelopes (the trays and covers will come in bubble mailers) ready to go, we have packed all the metal trays which we had at our workshop to make progress where we can while we wait for other parts. 
• Fulfillment - We already contacted our fulfillment partners about the project and we are starting lists and plans on how to get these to you, the packages are heavy, so figuirng out freight shipping for the main orders is very important and we need to take care of the budget so we don't overshoot and get in problems with the final fulfillment costs. 

Some pictures! 

Perfect! everything fits and with a couple stickers the box should be quite sturdy. Keep in mind that the box is a prototype, the final one will be clean and won't have the guide lines, but this is close to what the packs will look like! 

I'll post an update next month, hopefully when the packs are on their way, the box will take an extra week and a half to arrive, and then we start the packing of the almost a thousand collectors! 

Thanks everyone for being patient. I will write more good news next month! 

Fulfillment Update/ news (small update)!

Hi Collectors! 

We are finishing up manufacturing finally, we did a final check on numbers and we were a bit short so we had to do a bit extra production to make sure everyone gets their collectors. We were also missing magnets (some were breaking and we were tight so we had to order more, thanfully they arrived quickly.)

We are starting to pack trays next week! so I'll upload images as we get a preview of final packs. 

Timeline is dependant on our manufacturer finishing (they said they would be done in 2-3 weeks, but there have been delays before so don't want to get a set timeline and miss it again.)

I'll post another update as soon as we finalize the last bits of manufacturing and get a head start on some packing. Just looking at the envelopes/ boxes for the project, it is huge. We'll share more soon! 

We are unsure at the moment how Tariffs will impact us they are a hot subject at the moment, but hopefully the regular delays will let us be in a better spot and they are small/ insignificant. If/ when we have news of that I'll share them with you. 

Sorry its just info-dump this time! but I know some of you are getting a bit anxious and want to keep everyone in the loop! 

Thanks as always for sticking by, and we are moving steadily into fulfillment of the project, it's just taking longer than we expected.
