How to add 'add-ons' to your existing pledge level and... WE'RE FUNDED!!!
almost 8 years ago – Mon, May 09, 2016 at 10:48:45 PM

I've noticed that since I've posted the Kickstarter Exclusive raptor there has been a bit of confusion about how to pledge for add-ons. My apologies for not elaborating on this sooner, I know a lot of you are new to Kickstarter and I would like to address this in detail here.

So with Kickstarter, you are only allowed to pledge for one reward. Anything past that will be considered an 'add-on', even another tiers. (as stated before, I would not suggest adding-on the 'print tier' as it is limited and you could miss out). For add-on items, simply add the funds you need to your existing pledge. For example, if your pledge level is for the 'Raptor Pack' and you want the Velociraptor osmolskae, add $30 to your existing pledge (or $32 for international.) Or, once the stretch goals are unlocked *fingers crossed*, you'll simply add $35 for each figure ($37 for international.) Any amount can be added at anytime-  you can adjust your pledge as much as you'd like during the campaign. Also, you won't see a button for the add-ons, so don't worry when you can't find one. And please keep in mind, no money is collected until the campaign is over and funded.

After the campaign ends you'll be able to select your rewards with the BackerKit survey as long as the funds are there. You'll even be able to make adjustments at that time if needed.

Hope this clears things up for you all. If there's anything I didn't address, please leave your questions below.

And by the way- WE MADE IT!! BEASTS OF THE MESOZOIC IS OFFICIALLY FUNDED!! Thank you all so much, I'm extremely grateful for all of the incredible support thus far! But now we have stretch goals to reach. There are plenty more raptors to be made so lets keep it going!!!

Just a small update today. As I finish up the parts for the Saurornitholestes figure, I thought you all would enjoy seeing a comparison of the tails I've made so far. All are a little different adding to the unique character and look of each raptor.
