August Update!

Good and Bad news everyone.

Bad: Due to the ongoing tariffs issue, making bulk orders for rewards has continued to be on pause, along with my super smash bro melee collection. (So far we are behind 4 months) Currently I am being very selective on what i have manufactured, keeping within my price range at this time.

We are behind on manufacturing reward sets based on Bee & Puppycat (May), Kirby (June), Bugs (July), Hamtaro (August). I know some artists will post the potential art work for the prizes, but deliver the rewards late. I personally do not feel comfortable doing this, as the uncertainty of when these projects will get manufactured lingers.

Personal Car repairs are still at a standstill, but hopefully by December i can get the battery repairs started and finished. There is another repair I find important, as it would help prevent theft, so I would still refrain from street/public parking until that is repaired. Maybe mid or late next year we can start vending at more East Coast cons.

Neutral: I am looking into creating Badge Ribbons, as they are manufactured here in the states, and are widely popular in cons on the west cost and the midwest. Badge Ribbons are slowly making their way to the East Coast. We have manufactured one Ribbon so far, and will debut the ribbons at upcoming Pokémon fan events here in NYC.

I am looking at more potential events in the immediate area and slightly outside the metro area with easy mass transit. But figuring out hotel and cab costs seem pricey and daunting. But maybe I should really push in taking the leap and seeing what happens.

Good: I made a deal with The Poké Court, here in NYC, to host some of my sticker designs in their physical shop, and on their webstore. Currently they will be holding 7 designs, and they will be available in store and online by end of August, Early September. I am excited for this partnership.
