Second Stretch Goal!
about 7 years ago – Wed, Feb 01, 2017 at 09:51:41 PM

We did it! Second stretch goal! We also passed 1000 backers. Amazing!

The stretch goal means the bearing caps will come in the colour of your Fidget spinner. If you want a bearing cap set with your fidget Add $1 CAD per set of caps to your pledge.  

Whats next? The 10 x Stretch goal is certainly optimistic. Do you think we can do it? It would be cool to have two design options!

4 X Fidgets now available and Shipment Info!
about 7 years ago – Mon, Jan 30, 2017 at 12:49:16 PM

Hey everyone!

We're just approaching the first Stretch goal, so I'm sure we will at least get bearing caps in a single colour!

I have now added the 4 x Fidget Spinner as an option! If you wanted more than 2, and less than 8, this should be perfect for you! :)

Lastly, I will be capping the Rewards for May shipments at Quantity of 400. So 2X 4X fidget spinners that are shipping in May will only be able to have 400 Backers. There will be a new Reward added that will have July shipment instead, exactly the same cost and quantity, but will state that it is shipping in July. The second round of shipping will most likely ship before July, but I felt since there are so many more orders than expected it was something I should do to ensure accuracy in what the Kickstarter states. 

We're so close to the first stretch goal, make sure you share this on your Facebook and Twitter! One tweet(or retweet) or post can get us a lot close to those Stretch Goals! 

Thanks Everyone!

Typo Slipped Through - 8 x Fidget Reward
about 7 years ago – Sat, Jan 28, 2017 at 09:58:34 PM

Possibly no one has noticed, or realized the mistake, but I just noticed the "8 x Fidget Spinner" Reward says "Want 10 of them?"

This of course should be 8. It says "8 x Fidget" in the other places so I'm sure everyone knows what they are getting. If you were expecting 10 fidgets, I understand if you want to change your Reward to something else. 

I can't edit Rewards while people have backed them so I guess it will stay that way.

Ceramic Bearing Reward Removal - Ceramic bearing still an add-on.
about 7 years ago – Sat, Jan 28, 2017 at 05:28:33 PM

Another update! Sorry!

The Ceramic bearing reward has cause a little bit of confusion and a few people have selected it thinking you could do two rewards at once. Kickstarter only allows you to select one reward. 

I will be removing the Reward ($2 CAD) for the ceramic bearing to avoid this confusion. 

Ceramic bearings and upgrades are still available, they are now mentioned in the Kickstarter info under "Add-on Options". Hopefully this clears up any confusion. Only those who I have messaged directly need to take action, everyone else can just leave everything the same. Just didn't want anyone to think I removed the ceramic bearing option, its still there. 

I will close the reward once the few remaining people switch to a different reward(It won't let me if there are backers). There was no real reason for it there, bad idea on my part! 

Thanks all again! I will try not to spam updates like this. 

TL;DR, $2 Reward will disappear from the Kickstarter. People can still get ceramic bearings by adding the $2 CAD per bearing to the other reward tiers. No action required by anyone! 

Stretch Goals Added!

First of all. Thanks for all of your feedback. I appreciate the comments and messages more than you know! Keep them coming.

Based on that feedback I have created some stretch goals! They are now listed on the Kickstarter page in more detail but here is a quick summary:

  • 3 x Funding(Very Close) = Bearing Caps Add-on in a Single Colour($1CAD Pledge Add-on)
  • 4 x Funding = Bearing Caps in all colours as fidgets!
  • 10 x Funding = A Second Design Option - The Triplex! - This will be an upgrade option requiring a $2 CAD Pledge Add-on.  

Check out the Stretch Goals section for images and more details.

Lets hit these goals, I know we can do it! Be sure to share with your friends on Facebook and Twitter!
