Are y’all ready for Black Friday? We are, and so are our favorite friends, the Desk Guardians!
While the Guardians will not be receiving the BF discount, they have just been made available in the shop. They have been completely re-printed in high-definition and look better than ever!
(Plus, Hyperion and Carmela have joined the crew. Whoo!)
The Black Friday sale will commence as soon after 12 AM EST (on the 23rd) as possible. Please allow a moment for the sale to activate – the items have to be posted before we can select them to be eligible for the sale, so there may be a brief minute where they do not display a discount. But after the discount posts, have at it!
In-stock toys and Black Friday Special Customs will be marked off 20%. Customs are in limited supply, so if there’s something you really want and we don’t tend to stock it often, don’t miss out!
Good luck, and may your wallets’ recovery be swift after this darkest of shopping days.
So, how about Black Friday?
Yes, we will be participating in Black Friday sales! But no, it won’t be a particularly huge event.
A TLDR version of what’s below:
- Discounted stock drop
- Discounted Dealer’s Choice BF Customs
- Long custom wait time warning!
- Fimbulvetr is coming…
Firstly, there will be a (relatively minor) stock drop. A fair chunk of these are “flops”, so with the flop discount + Black Friday discount, these guys are going to be cheaper than ever.
Store-wide, the Black Friday discount will be 20% off. The only items not affected by the discount are accessories/non sex toy items (Dicklets, keychains, Desk Guardians).
Secondly, there will be at least one Dealer’s Choice Black Friday Special Custom Listing for each model and size we offer. The only model exceptions are Valentine (both cock and tongue variants), Standard Rei, and Standard Kouya. These models are undergoing tweaks or re-prints. They may be found in the stock drop as a last hurrah for those older molds, but they will likely be flops.
Customs will allow you to choose the model, size, and firmness. The rest is Dealer’s Choice! The one thing that is guaranteed: the color scheme will involve black and at minimum one other color (for two total guaranteed colors). Requests for specific colors and patterns will not be taken.
VERY IMPORTANT: The waiting time on the customs will be quoted very high (1-3 months). A lot of the molds need to be remade and this will be done as I go about clearing the customs backlog and working on new things – if I pour something and it comes out weird, that one’s getting re-molded.
That said, if your toy comes out fine and there’s no problems with the mold, you could receive your toy rather quickly. This time estimate is being given in case of, say, a… Ragnarok-level doomsday scenario. No reason for that specific End of World scenario name, I’m sure.
We also have plans for a new model release in December, unless something goes wrong. Which it can, and probably will.
As usual, there will be absolutely no cancellations permitted during or after the Black Friday event. No exceptions. I am dead serious about this.
For the customs, if it looks like for any reason the custom will not be able to be completed by the absolute deadline, you will be fully refunded at that deadline time or as soon as I am certain that I cannot meet said deadline. Please do not ask me about refunds before then – though if you’d like to request a status report, you’re welcome to inquire! 🙂
Why is micro Rei so expensive if its only the size of a squishy??
It’s about half an inch bigger than a squishy and surprisingly, occupies a considerably higher volume of silicone! It’s pretty amazing how much of a difference that .5 inch makes.
It’s also priced higher because:
-Complex mold that usually wrecks the master print in order for me to extract it safely without damaging the mold. Printing material used is neither cheap nor fast to replace.
-Individually poured in a unique firmness not used on dildos, whereas Guardians/Dicklets are generally made alongside other products. More time spent overall on each Rei… virtually identical to any other two color, full size toy!
-Rei is both slightly larger and heavier than two pocket penetrable models I own from another company, priced only slightly higher than a single-color toy from said company.
-Danger of breaking mold core (thus forcing me to discard a solid silicone mold) every time I cast a Rei. I broke one after just two castings.
(Bronze/Black Rei is a mold murderer!)
Updates
I strongly doubt that I will have my April Fool’s thing done for the actual day. I still want to release it for a limited time, however, and see how it’s received. If people actually like it, it could become a permanent addition.
I’m also doubtful that my Easter plans will come to fruition, but I do still want to release it belatedly if I can. I’d say “as a generic spring event” but it involves tiny Easter “baskets” so it’s not that generic.
Take all of this with a grain of salt. The only near-certainty is delays, though it’s possible I may not do these events at all, depending on how the family situation goes.
With that out of the way, I’d like to take a moment to just say one more thing:
Thank you so much to all of you who have sent my family well-wishes and support. These are incredibly hard times, but your kind words mean more to us than you know.
I never thought I would utter a phrase remotely like: “Hey, Grandma, there’s a bunch of people on my sex toy shop’s blog sending you their love and wishing you well”, but that’s a thing that’s happened. Y’all are the best.
