Backerkit Charges & Production

Hi guys,
Hope you are all well. We have just charged all cards for the backerkit survey. There's a few that were rejected but it's no problem as we will retry them tomorrow. If you continue to have issues with the payment going through, please drop us a DM.
Unfortunately we had a message from our supplier explaining that there is going to be a one week delay to our lead time. This means dispatch will be one week later than originally planned. Dispatch will now happen during the first week of December. I'm very sorry about this. I have tried everything within our power to get the supplier to speed things up however there seems to be no work around.
I'll keep you posted with any further updated. Any questions, please reach out.
Thanks
Hugo.

Hey guys,
Hope you are all well.
Things are progressing very well. All parts are ordered and we're expecting them toward the end of November. From there, there'll be a one week assembly time and then dispatch!
With the success of the project we've also managed to make a small upgrade to the black version. The black coating will now be made via a vacuum plating process instead of the initially planned powder coating. Vacuum plating is a process in which a metal, is vaporized in a vacuum and deposited, atom-by-atom, onto the surface of a part. Compared to powder coating this process is more than 50 times thinner and lasts much longer. It's a lot more similar to the anodizing effect that we achieved on our black Ghost Yo Yo's from our last campaign.
If you're yet to check out our previous campaign for the Ghost Yo Yo, we still have some available in the black anodized finish and silver anodized finish via our webshop: https://www.ghostdesignproducts.com/product/ghostyoyo. However we will not be manufacturing any more of these so if you want to get your hands on one, please drop us a DM, comment or reach out to us at [email protected] and we can get one added to your order!
As always, if there's any questions just reach out!
Thanks,
Hugo.

Hey guys
87% of the Backerkit surveys have now been completed 😁
If you are in the 13% who haven’t completed your survey please do it today as surveys will be locked tomorrow, at the end of the day.
We’ve recently added some new add ons to the survey too…
- Electric blue Ghost Yo Yo. There’s only 5 of these total.
- Titanium Gyro Spin - There’s 6 of these left.
All parts for the Gyro Spins are on the way and we’re looking at around 35 days before we start shipping them all out.
Very excited for you all to get them in your hands.
Any queries, just reach out as always.
Thanks
Hugo.

Hey guys,
Most of you have completed your backerkit surveys, but there's still 133 of you who haven't!
If you're in that group, please complete your survey as soon as possible as we'd like to close them soon, so we can finalise the numbers for manufacturing. Also if you haven't finished adding your add-ons now is the time! We have the following available through the backerkit survey:
- Spin station - Keep your Gyro Spin spinning in one place for the longest possible time
- Desk stand - Display your Gyro Spin and prevent it from scratching
- Carry case - Store your Gyro Spin or take it anywhere you want
- Gyro spin Ti - A Gyro Spin manufactured from titanium - Limited Available
- Ghost Yo Yo - Our previous campaign - A unique yo-yo that has rims that appear as though they are floating!
You should be receiving semi-regular emails from backerkit with the link to your survey. If you haven't been receiving them just pop us a message and we can send it to you.
Thanks
Hugo.
