Backer Surveys and Pre-Order Store
4 months ago – Mon, Feb 06, 2023 at 10:00:43 AM

Backer Surveys:

Don't forget, there is one week left to complete your backer survey in BackerKit! Anyone who backed a pledge level for a bundle needs to complete the survey in order to choose your felt color and confirm your shipping address. You will also confirm any add-ons you chose during the Kickstarter campaign and have the option to select additional add-ons as well.

Pre-Order Store:

Our pre-order store is now open for anyone who missed getting in on the Kickstarted campaign and wishes to have a Vaikin Box of their very own. Once we have fulfilled all Kickstarter rewards, we will start regular production runs for pre-order and retail sales. Check out the pre-order store here.

Backer Surveys Will Be Coming Soon!!!
4 months ago – Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 07:23:28 AM

We hope everyone is having a great 2023 so far!!!

What's New? - We have almost finished setting up the pledge manager in BackerKit. Everyone should be on the lookout for an email from them with a link to your backer survey within the coming week. Please take a moment to fill out your survey as soon as possible so we can get started with manufacturing and fulfillment of your rewards.

What's Next? - We are currently working on procurement of materials while everyone is completing their surveys and plan to start production shortly after the survey window closes on 3/13/23.

What Does This Mean? - This means there is a very good chance that everyone will be receiving their rewards earlier than the anticipated ship dates posted in the campaign. Since there are a couple of variables at play in this, we cannot guarantee we will be shipping early, however it appears Odin will favor us and early shipping is a very good possibility.

Material and design strength and quality
5 months ago – Wed, Jan 04, 2023 at 10:32:56 AM

Hi everyone!  We've had an inquiry about the quality of the material and design of the Vaikin Box and wanted to share a video and a few pictures.  As we mentioned in the campaign story, we selected 1/4" plywood for the Vaikin box for its good quality and value. As with any material, plywood comes in a wide variety of grades, which also vary in cost and quality. The material we selected for the Vaikin Box was chosen for both its strength and weight to have the lightest, yet strongest construction possible for ease of transport and durability. The material was also selected for the grain of the wood and ability to hold a stain or other finishes. To demonstrate the strength of the material and design, we've included a short video of a 170+ pound person stepping up and standing on an Asgard (we've also used it as a seat when waiting in line at game conventions or walking show floors).  Included are a few close up pictures to better see the cuts of the laser on the edges and grain of the wood. We are excited about the product and looking forward to getting it in your hands.
