#it’ll take a bit for manu and this is my first time on preorders so I’m a bit nervous

[timethehobo]

Preorders coming soon hehe.

[Shop Update] - somewhat lol

Key points:

Small reopening in late Feb / March for extremely limited amount of left over goods + Gaius themed sticky notes

Announcements will be made in the 3 weeks leading up to reopening

Pricing is the same as last time

Etsy for ALL orders for now (Worldwide, including US)

No preorders this run - it's all in-stock and ready to ship!

Additional shop musings below the cut.

I’m waiting til late Feb / March to put my very tiny bit of left over stock + sticky notes up in the shop. Uhhh FF7 Rebirth may mess with that timeline a bit.

I’ll just have it on Etsy for all orders (US included) since I can’t gauge how long it’ll take for stuff to sell. Ideally I just want to pay for one month of BigCartel’s fees and not keep my shop open indefinitely on BC. I don’t have enough product in stock atm to justify paying their monthly more than one month tbqh, but it does seem more ideal for US pre-orders at least!!

Pricing for all previous goods will be the same. Sticky notes… still pricing those but expect those to be in line with other people’s custom sticky notes. I don’t have the economies of scale on my side to offer them any cheaper, unfortunately, and I would like some payment for my time designing and processing orders. ; v ;

I’ll make announcements at least 3 weeks in advance of the shop reopening so people can plan accordingly! I’ll have to look again to confirm but there’s 1-2 left of most things if you missed out the first time around.

Ah yes I’ll have to take new product photos… fun stuff.

Not sure if I’ll have preorders for everything for the next round – at least I can safely order from the old manu and point out “hey this looks WILDLY different from the last one” to get it redone without a fuss but I also have some other behind the scenes things to take care of.

For the next ‘big’ drop it may just be the Gaius standee and some more stationary goods. We’ll see… so many plans, so little time! And at SOME POINT I would like to get the Gaius dolls done but I haven’t even begun the quoting process for that – and the lead times would be very long I imagine.

Look forward to seeing what all happens with Gaius Pop-up Shop in 2024 o7 Even I don’t know!!
