Hello,

many of you are writing asking on how to order pins from our store, so we thought we'd give an update. Essentially, it's being tricky for us to setup a Paypal-button ordering system for the pins like we have for the books, only because we have hundreds of different designs. Our web team is working on it, but for now, the only way to place a pin order is to email us. So for your reference, here's a nifty step-by-step ordering guide!

1. Click the 'Contact Us' link on the left of the page and pick the 'Orders' option, or email orders [at] musebasement [dot] com directly.

2. Let us know which pins you want, and how many of each, ideally by in-game number. If a pin you want is not already in our catalogue, we'll be happy to make it, but there's a 1$ setup fee and approximately 1 week's delay to your order per new pin, since we need to draw them. Our full up-to-date catalogue is available at http://www.musebasement.com/pins.php.

3. We'll get back to you as soon as we're able to, with a price quote.

4. Payment can be done by Paypal, credit card, or money order if the other two are impossible.

5. Once payment is received, we'll make the pins that need making and ship as soon as the order is ready. Delivery takes about 1-2 weeks within Canada and the continental USA.

You can always check the pin FAQ, available at http://www.musebasement.com/pin_faq.php.

Hope this helps, and happy shopping!

Hi everyone!

The snowy season is upon us again, and with it, holiday cheer! The best of the season to you all. We've been having topsy-turvy times here at MUSEbasement over the last few months, causing a bunch of unfortunate delays in emails and shipments, for which we sincerely apologize. I'm pleased to say though that things are caught up now! Every pin order that has been paid for will have been shipped by the end of today at the latest.

Regarding pin orders: the shop remains open for you to order any The World Ends With You pin you might like. Special orders (i.e., pins from the game that aren't yet in our catalogue) are still fine, but starting from now special orders come with a little caveat: that we WILL do them is a promise, but we can't promise any specific timeframe for your order. It will depend on the availability of our artists, since we draw each pin by hand and it takes a lot of work. So, if you're fine with getting them eventually (if maybe not very soon), then by all means make all the special orders you like! :3 If time is an issue though, we recommend you stick to the in-stock list, that you should find in our store page.

And we still have a few Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann drill necklaces in stock, too!

Thanks a lot for your understanding, and happy holidays!!

Thanks to everyone who came by our table at the New York Anime Festival! It was a rainy weekend, but we made the most of it. MUSEbasement will visit your city again, for sure!

---EDIT: we are at table *53* in the NYAF Artist Alley, *not* table 57. That puts us at the end of a row, in the right-hand side of the hall. I'm sure you'll be able to find us anyway! n_n

See you next weekend, guys!

Big news for you tonight! MUSEbasement will be attending its first ever con in the USA, the New York Anime Festival, this September!

A reminder, MUSEbasement will be at Anime Evolution in Vancouver, BC from August 22nd to 24th. West coast, here's your chance at getting hold of our cool doujinshis, as well as loads of high-quality TWEWY-style pins and Gurren Lagann-inspired core drills! ^___^ Come find me in the Artists's Alley, there will be a biiig poster with our logo on it ~

One important note: the con is at the University of British Columbia, NOT Simon Fraser University, as previously planned. More details are on the Anime Evolution website.

See you there!

Guys, Otakuthon was just plain awesome! Thanks to everyone on staff who invited us and treated us so well, and thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hi and shop! It will have been a memorable weekend for us all. I'm thrilled that my hometown has such a vibrant and solid anime convention now! Way to go, everybody!

Hi everyone,

As some of you may know, we've been making cool little one-inch pins lately based on the video game The World Ends With You. We have lots of designs already, but if you want any custom orders, let us know! Any in-game pin is fair game. We'll have them next weekend at Otakuthon, particularly, but there are shipment possibilities if you're not in Montreal. Click on the "Contact Us" tab if you want details!

Hi there everyone,

WHEN: August 22-24
