Tribe, we are back! And not just any ol’ back, this is our tenth Kickstarter! Needless to say how grateful we are to you, and we’ll just keep on doing what we love and do best. This one here is a different one, so please read on – details are important as this campaign will offer only collector, numbered items. We started this tradition back on out first campaign, when We produced the hand signed, polished Rare Birds of which only 100 were made. 10 campaigns later, we are bringing the Birds back!
And we are truly, really excited about this one, as it’s the first truly different kind of racer since our first campaign. Not only that we picked an iconic, extremely rare car for inspiration, but we pushed woodworking, decal painting and design to their limits.
We give you:
The first choice is a gorgeous sleek Scarlet Red Racer, with a muted but fiery livery. A blank circle will let you personalize and add your own number, while the checkered flag tail wing will be a reminder to those left behind. The rear wing is stamped, powder coated metal, with hand applied decals. The rims are also brand new, unlike any other Candylab wheels so far.
Next Up: The Cool, Calm and Collected Waterbird.
With a big nod to vintage racing heritage, this classic purebred racer has flamed fans’ imaginations worldwide. Now in a distilled Candylab form, with a metal wing and custom matching color rims:
Packaging:
This will be memorable. We usually do not reveal packaging ahead of delivery for maximum unboxing joy, but this one is WORTH IT! Metallic foil, a retro modern look, and striking shelf presence!
Rules for Custom numbering and Limited Run info:
We are only opening up pledges for 100 racers of each style, and 100 combo sets. Each car in this run will be numbered Y of XX, where Y is the actual unique identifier, and XX is the TOTAL ever produced. No distinction will be made if cars are in a set. If the first 100 are sold out, we may add another reward level for 100 more, depending on the remaining time in the campaign. Again, the XX marker will reflect the TOTAL units pledged at the end of this campaign.
Combining Rewards: If you’d like to pledge more than one item, please identify shipping costs for each, and 1) add it all up then 2) Type in the corresponding amount in the pledge field. Your entire total pledge will be reconfirmed once the campaign ends.
Shipping: We know, it’s really expensive for you international folks. We strictly charge what postage actually costs and pay for warehousing, shipping cartons, labeling and on from the general overhead remaining. That is what carriers charge these days.
Combining Rewards Shipping costs: There are many possible combinations of the rewards, countries and shipping weights. We tried our best to offer a fair deal, but please read the FAQ detailing this aspect.
We have completed quite a few successful campaigns and have learned the rules the hard way. Manufacturing, sales, advertising, design, and logistics are now well-worn routines for us. There is always something new to come at us and disrupt the flow, but we have proved resilient so far, and are well-positioned to deliver this on time!
We are on our 10th Campaign. While we typically say nothing can go wrong, but it may, this time is different. Based on longstanding relationships with our suppliers, we have already completed tooling and production is well underway with little to no advance payments. We are confident that once the modest goal of this campaign is funded, we can safely deliver your rewards on time.
