If your name starts with a G and you only sent me $3, I've been trying to get a hold of you. PLEASE check your email!

Due to weight restrictions (and my already having underestimated postage), I cannot combine orders. If you ordered more than one, they will arrive separately!

The first 75 orders have been mailed out!
It might take me a bit longer from here out to get the rest moving, as I have to work part time tomorrow.

It took about 4 hours to mail out the first 30 zines, if you need an idea of how awful it is to mail shit in Japan. XD But it’s getting done! (I’m carting 10 at a time back and forth from my house to the post office. They’re HEAVY!) I also underestimated the postage. 😅

Trading cards all packed! Now I’m going to wrap all of the dog tags in an extra layer of origami paper so they don’t scratch the books.
(Please don’t judge my awful wrapping skills. 😂)

The merch is all here (except for the extra Hux dog tags)! All the trading cards have been cut, and the “point cards” and bookmarks have all been hand trimmed. That was A LOT but it’s all done now!
Tomorrow I will be packing the trading cards into baggies and starting to box things up for mailing!
