This project is on indefinite hold due to price increases that were not disclosed to Trail Toys when they started. That price increase is too much to justify at this time, so for now the 50 state cat eyes will have to wait.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are posting this on behalf of our good friends at Trail Toys.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cat Eyes are traditionally glow in the dark or reflective and help identify friend from foe. These can certainly be used for that purpose, but Trail Toys thought it would be great if we could have something to show which states we've visited, hail from, or wheeled in.
No time like the present to get out and explore the great country we live in, and use these patches to help remember the good times you've had out roaming.
What they are:
These are 3/4" x 3/4" PVC patches with velcro backing. Each of the 50 states are represented, although not necessarily to scale.
The patches will be sold individually and in a package of all 50. What Trail Toys is offering here is a chance to save a good chunk on the package of all 50 states. Keep them around and when you get out and visit a new state put one on the headliner. Or wherever you like to collect patches.
Pricing:
Normal price per state: $4.00 plus $0.50 shipping. (All 50 over time would add up to $225.00)
50 State bundle (normal price): $160.00 plus $6.00 shipping (works out to $3.32 per patch, and a 20% savings)
Group buy would be for the 50 State Bundle only at $140.00 plus $6.00 shipping. That works out to $2.92 per patch, a 30% savings.
Timeline:
Trail Toys has started the sample phase already, meaning Trail Toys sent the above artwork to be transformed into the PVC patches. Trail Toys will have pictures of the finalized patches in about 10 days.
After Trail Toys has approved all of the samples production will take about 20 days.
So that gives us 30 days to run this introductory group buy. Once Trail Toys has the patches in hand Trail Toys will close the GB and ship out all of the orders.
What you need to do:
Send Trail Toys an email at [email protected] with your request to join the GB. Tell them RDO sent ya.
Trail Toys will then send you an invoice for $146.00 which will need to be paid immediately. Please add your shipping address to the invoice when you make your payment.
Trail Toys will ship orders out shortly after receiving the shipment via USPS 2 day priority.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Here are two examples of what the finished patches will look like. I will update this post with pictures of the actual patches once I receive them.
