Big Shipping Update

Big Shipping Updates

Good morning everyone. It's been a productive week here at the Lost Temple, and we have a lot of shipping updates. We pride ourselves on timely delivery, but I will be the first today to say that last year was a sloooow delivery year for us. Some of that may have to do with the new baby and me not bugging our artists like I usually do, but some was genuinely weird ceramic/tariff issues. Thanks for sticking with us! As you'll see below, we've worked past a lot of the backlog and many of these mugs are coming very soon. I'm glad to have thing moving and shaking again.

This is a big list, but it's not exhaustive so don't panic if you don't see your mug. These are just the latest and greatest updates.

We also did a deep dive into cancellations/color changes. Below is a list of mugs we have one or two of. Reply to this email, or send an email to losttempletraders@gmail.com if you'd like to order one. It's easier to invoice when it's one or two mugs than to put them back on the site. Shipping updates are below, but I wanted to collect them in one place to show what is available. Mugs and Prices Below:

Zombie Hammerhead $200

Zombie Great White $200

Nenue Koa $140

Tiki Diablo Headhunter $215

Unliving Color Zombie Bellhop Green Skin $225

Moko Mojo Full Color $175

Repellant Charge $165

Nenue Updated Delivery Date

Good News for everyone who has been patiently waiting on Nenue. They are finishing as we speak, and we have gotten a delivery date from our partners at Bauer.

Monkeypod will be out by mid-June.

Koa will be out by mid-July.

It's always a bit more challenging when a project has multiple pieces, and I'm grateful to everyone who stuck with us long enough to add the torches. These pieces turned out really fantastic, and we can't wait for you to get them.

Monkeypod is sold out, but we've just added some Koa back to the shop now that we have an end date. There aren't many so be sure to add one before they're gone. Click the photo above to order.

LTT x Bauer Shipping Updates

With Bauer back at full speed, they're very quickly moving through bottlenecked projects.

Repellant Charge 2.0 is being worked on concurrently with Nenue and is expected to ship Late June. This mug is a limited run of 50, and we have a pair left. If you'd like to order one ($165), REPLY to this email, and we'll take care of you.
Forbidden Rye will follow with an estimated July delivery date
We've recently received and shipped the Skeleton Warriors and Zombie Bellhops from them so we're confident they're back to their normal delivery windows after several months of production challenges.

In-House Production Update

Jaguars and Kongs: Most of these are out. We had to re-make about a dozen of the Zombie Kong and Teal Jaguars, but those will be the next thing out the door along with the last of the SLTD's.
Copper Bones are moving quickly through production and should be in your hands sooner than later
As these projects wind down, we're ramping up production on Moko Mojo (which we moved in-house because of delays elsewhere) and our Zombie Sharks.
We have a few slots left for full color Moko Mojo ($175) and are opening a few more for each of the Full Color Zombie Sharks ($200 Each). REPLY to this email if you'd like to pre-order.

International Production Update (Ono, Trevor Foster, Swirly Bob, Mad Tiki Cups)

Right now our international mugs are all in limbo because of Tariffs. We've been hoping to get more clarity before bringing them in. Our biggest fear is that halfway through the 6 week trip, tariffs spike because of the volatility, and we get stuck with an insane bill we can't afford. The Expedition's End bill initially jumped by 18k for example. That's business ending for us. That said, we are feeling better about things coming from Trevor in Thailand so those will likely ship ASAP. It's a weird world, and we will get these to you as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding.

Headhunter II

We're excited to finally get this guy into production. Thanks to everyone who has been patient. We're can't wait to see where Tiki Diablo takes the glaze on these.
