Hot damn, I didn't know this was an actual contest, I thought everyone was just guessing for fun! Congrats @Frostbyte

No one does anything for fun, only for profit.

Evenstar

Congrats! But...that also means I think I was a very close second place T_T

We'll be making 1200 total to handle any issues we run into.

I know a guy that didn't have any extra money when the kickstarter was up. Yeah ... a guy ...

Hingo

Do we have any best guesses on when pins might be arriving for this?

Madkine

Best guess at the moment is the first half of 2016.

orthancstone

Really depends on when they want to do fulfillment, and I wouldn't expect it until well into 2016.

Duckie

I'm expecting late 2016 to early 2017, post production can take *ages*

PedroAsani

I would expect that they send the incentives out when the show is ready to air. Good reminders for people to watch. More people watch, the more they can sell the next season.

Hingo

True. Guess I'll continue waiting to put up extra Automata add-on pins on my PP profile.

This is what I expect. The rewards include a Blu-Ray which obviously can't be released early. I'll assume they don't want to eat the shipping cost of sending stuff to the same houses twice and just doing multiple rounds of shipping.

Katie had Dark Place Brian in hand at PAX Prime '15, if you backed at that level they would give you the pin right then and take your name off the pin list. PA could potentially do the same thing.

I would be shocked if they did.

Any idea about the size of the pins? I'm trying to put all my 2015 pins in a frame and want to leave room for those 2, but I'm not sure how big a space to leave. Is Carl previous Carl sized?

aleph0

I don't think they specified during the Kickstarter, but I think those pins will be stamped 2016, so they probably don't go in the 2015 frame anyway. :P

Senno

Still waiting on the book from the Camp Weedonwantcha (sp?). It's missed it's deadline.

Well, behind Sam it says Sam Regal, and behind Carl it says Carl Swangee. Without looking up the alphabet (wehhh, me lazy) it seems to say Verna Sou??ern. Southern?

OK, I'm not so lazy, I just looked up the alphabet, and I'm pretty sure it is Verna Southern. Groovy.
