Questions

Before you order

What ages is this for?

Ages 7 to 12. Most 7-year-olds manage Kit #1 with an adult on the glue. Later kits get harder as they go.

When does the first run ship?

The first 200 buckets ship as soon as the run is complete. Reserve now and we'll email you the ship date before we take payment.

Do later kits come in a bucket too?

No — the bucket comes once. After that, each kit arrives in a mailer with its badge, and the badge goes on the inside of the lid.

Can I cancel a subscription?

Any time before the next kit ships. No phone call, no retention maze.

Is the collector's edition badge really limited?

Yes. Two hundred numbered buckets, and the badge is never printed again after that.

Do you ship outside the US?

Not for the first run. Join the community list and we'll let you know when international shipping opens up.
