Fulfillment Update 6-18-2024 Final Stages of Fulfillment
about 1 month ago – Tue, Jun 18, 2024 at 11:08:30 AM

Hello Game Topper Nation! 

This will likely be the last fulfillment update for the 4.0 campaign as we are nearing the end! This is also likely to be fairly brief as there is very little left to say!

At this point US, Canada, and UK fulfillment has all been completed. The only remaining pledges to ship are in the EU/other European countries. 

Due to the warehouse being quite busy during the UK Games Expo there was a slight delay in getting the EU shipment transferred over to the warehouse in Germany. That shipment is currently in transit and I believe it should arrive sometime next week at Fulfillment Europe in Germany.

Everything is lined up to have those shipments shipped out very shortly after arriving in Germany, so I think there is still a good chance we meet our original goal of having everything shipped out to Backers before the end of June! Delivery times can vary a little, so many packages may not arrive at your doors until early July, but we are in the final weeks at this point!

If you have any address changes please let us know ASAP ([email protected]) so as to not delay your shipment.

What's in the Future...?

Thank you all for your support this campaign. We always say we have the best backers out there and we mean it! We couldn't do this without your continued support.

If any of you are at Origins this week, come and say "Hi" to Burky and our wonderful booth staff! You can find us under our giant inflatable Top Hat. There might even be some sneak peeks of future products in the booth.....

Speaking of which, get ready! We are gearing up for our next Kickstarter campaign sooner than you might think. Exact details will be forthcoming in the next couple weeks, but we are very excited by the new product offerings we have. We also are thrilled this gives us another opportunity to offer our combined shipping prices for our overseas customers.

Until next time!

-Burky, Josiah and the Game Topper's Crew.

Fulfillment Update 4-17-2024: European Shipment Away! Designer Art Series & Canada Wave 2
3 months ago – Wed, Apr 17, 2024 at 02:38:04 PM

Hello Game Topper Nation!

Josiah here with a fairly brief update on the final stages of fulfillment for this campaign! I am happy to say that we are still on track to meet all of our fulfillment goals. The few of you who have not yet received your pledges just around the corner.

Designer Art Series Toppers and 26" Baker's Street Irregulars:

We are due to received both of these products, as well as a few other items we were short on by the end of this week. That will allow us to finish packaging and shipping those pledges before the end of the month! 

Canadian Wave 2:

Similarly reasons to above, we plan on having all remaining Canadian pledges shipped out before the end of the month as well. 

It will still take some time for the products to reach the Canadian warehouse and then be shipped out to you, but I expect the final deliveries will start to arrive at your doorsteps in the middle of May! 

Tracking information will be sent to you once the products leave the Canadian warehouse.

EU & UK Fulfillment:

The shipment with all of the European orders has left our warehouse and is currently on the way to GamesQuest in the UK and Fulfillment Europe in Germany.

 Current estimates has the products arriving near the end of May and we are working with the fulfillment centers to get the pledges shipped out in June! We will continue to update you all as this process continues!

UK Games Expo:

Game Toppers is going to be at the UK Games Expo at the end of May. Come stop by our booth and say hi to Burky! If anyone is attending the expo or would like to help in our booth for a shift or two. We include a full badge and $25.00 per hour in merch. Please email [email protected] if interested.

Conclusion:

Thank you all for your support; we are almost at the finish line for this campaign and we couldn't have done it without you all.

We have exciting plans for the future and cannot wait to share some of them you in the not too distant future! 

Until next time,

Josiah, Burky, & the Game Toppers Team

March update, fulfillment and special announcement. 3-28-24
4 months ago – Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 02:08:07 PM

Greetings Game Topper Nation,

Burky here with a quick update and special announcement.

I'm starting out with something fun and dear to my heart. Many of you know, Baseball Highlights 2045 by Michael Fitzgerald published by Eagle Gryphon Games is my favorite two  player game. I was fortunate enough to win the World championship last year at Origins. 

I just adore this game, so much that I worked out a deal with Eagle Gryphon so we could make a tricked out the  Game Toppers style double Playmat with our premium 3mm high density double stitched edge mat and premium carry/storage bag. We worked out a deal to produce them. I didn't expect to break even on this and probably will actually loose some money on the idea. (unless you guys go crazy and buy some of these, lol) I did it, because I love the game so much and I would have some of these to give away etc. 

Then Mike Fitzgerald the designer emailed me one day and asked me to contribute on designing a promo card for the upcoming Gamefound campaign. I was super humbled, excited that this could even happen!!! Well, Burky has made it to the big leagues!!! 

 I personally highly recommend this game! (I'm sure I am not biased in any way, shape, or form) There is still 17 hours left to pledge for the latest Bases Loaded, "all in" edition of this game for only $48.00. It a great price for all expansions, new box dividers, and all new promo cards including Burky Puckett!  Click pic below or link below to check it out.

As a special thank you to Eagle Gryphon and to all backers who what our premium Playmat for Baseball Highlights 2045. We are shipping them out with in 3-5 business days in the USA. Regular shipping cycles for other countries.

You can late pledge for the mat below.

Thank you for bearing with me and my excitement for this project. I'm so thrilled to be a part of it! Go get a copy! I think you will like it if you like deck building games.

So on to other important stuff.

Fullfillment:

Everything is on track as stated before. Josiah and the team have worked feverishly to get everything out on time and in many cases well before our expected timelines. It's always our goal to treat you as a valued backer as we would like to be treated, and hopefully give you more than you expect in quality and service of our products.

Notes: 

During the campaign we made reference to the improvements we made on the JJ Burkton and Lord Burkton Mat Racks. We changed the bottom panel to be solid without holes so it would be easier to move the rack when needed for cleaning, and also not have the mats touching the floor incase of moisture dirt etc. This is not reflected in our assembly video, but everything installs the exact same way. Some have questioned if they got the right parts but yes that was an improvement we made that we think is a better design. Keeping mats in their bags also keeps them wrapped tightly and identifiable by our clear window design.

UK and EU Backers:

Your orders are nearly all packed up and we expect to be shipping them to their hubs in mid April and expected to be delivered to your door in May and June. You will get tracking and confirming updates from us when this container arrives at these hubs.

The rest of the USA and Canada fulfillment:

We are basically all done with the exception of a few late pledges and the Mycroft Designer Art Toppers and the 26" Bakerstreet Irregulars mat caddies. 

We just received word the Acrylic inlays for the Designer Art Toppers have all been cut, so they will be delivered next week and sent to the Vinyl team to apply the graphics. We hope to have these done in the 2 to 3 weeks. The caddies also will be arriving in about 2 weeks. 

We will be shutting down the Late Pledge manger in the middle of April once we have everything shipped out.

All in all I super proud of our team for executing our fulfillment with in expected timelines.

Thank you again for all your amazing support!!! You are the best backers in the world!

If you have any questions or concerns, as always feel free to email them to [email protected] and we will be happy to help.

Burky and team.

IMPORTANT: Last Call for Incomplete Pledge Surveys
5 months ago – Fri, Mar 08, 2024 at 03:17:46 PM

Hello Game Topper Nation! Just a really brief update that will not apply to the majority of you. You can ignore this if you are a Late Pledge backer as well. We will have another fulfillment update early next week for backers still waiting on their pledges to ship.

There are just a small number of backers who never completed their Pledge Manager surveys from Backerkit. The majority of them are just $1 backers who were supporting the Kickstarter and following along which is expected. 

However this is the last call to complete your survey if you want to get in on the Kickstarter offerings and stretch goals. 

Any surveys not completed by March 11th will be cancelled without refunds, which is an irreversible process. So please fill out those last few surveys if you want your rewards!

Thank you!

-The Game Topper Team
