Please Answer the 3-Question Survey!
We woke up to a bit of a surprise this morning! Our $20K Stretch Goal was achieved! That means that we need your votes to know what stretch goal to pursue next. Currently, our survey looks like this:
Number of Backers: 326
Number of Survey Responses: 116
The survey is completely anonymous, and does not require a sign-in or entering of any identifiable information of any kind. If you have a preference of what you want us to produce next, please take a moment and answer the 3 quick questions.
The survey will close at 6:00 AM Mountain Daylight Time, tomorrow - that gives everyone roughly 20 hours to complete the survey. We will post an update tomorrow morning with the results!
Thank you,
Matt, Brick Mini
Exclusive Build Kits from Brickmania and GrasshopperSquadron!

Own a piece of Military History and Support your (Nano) Troops!
Introducing two incredible new kits from Brickmania, exclusive to backers on this Kickstarter campaign, are the Nano-scale Douglas C-47 Skytrain and the Waco CG-4 Glider! Both kits are original designs by our friend and military aircraft expert, Ryan Short, A.K.A. GrasshopperSquadron!
These Kits will only be available to backers as Add-ons through the pledge manager after the campaign ends. If you're familiar with Brickmania, you know they take their build kits seriously, and you can expect a high quality build experience from both of these beautiful models.
Douglas C-47 Skytrain
The C-47 Skytrain, manufactured by Douglas Aircraft Company, was adapted from the civilian-use Douglas DC-3 for military use. This workhorse of an airplane was employed by many Allied nations during WWII for the transporting of armed forces, cargo, and for towing military gliders such as CG-4.
C-47 Kit Estimated Price: $115
Waco CG-4 Glider
The CG-4, manufactured by the Waco Aircraft Company, was the most widely used military glider of World War II. Often towed behind the C-47 into combat arenas, the CG-4 a played a critical role during the D-Day assault to transport troops and cargo well behind enemy lines. Crewing such a craft was extremely hazardous as it meant unpowered navigation typically in the midst of heavy anti-aircraft fire, thick air traffic and small landing zones.
CG-4 Kit Estimated Price: $60
On Our Way!
We've come a long way - At the time of this writing, we are only $122 away from unlocking a fifth color option. Not to mention, we are only $2122 away from unlocking 8 additional pieces for the 2nd Wave Set.
Congratulations - we've already had a few people successfully raise money through their affiliate links! It is possible! Every time you share you help us all get closer to unlocking more for everyone - not to mention you're helping yourself towards earning free swag!
We've got 11 days to go, but we aren't anywhere near the end. Let's get excited and unlock those stretch goals. Speaking of stretch goals, if you have not yet shared your stretch goal preferences, please follow this link and complete the 3-question survey!
Thank you as always for your support and have a great Saturday,
-Matt, Brick Mini

Stretch Goal Preferences, Affiliate Bonuses, and Brickmania Exclusives!
over 3 years ago
– Thu, Jun 10, 2021 at 04:59:17 PM
TL;DR:1.) As a Brick Mini Affliliate, you can earn bonuses by sharing the kickstarter with others! 2.)Let us know what stretch goals you're most excited for by answering the short survey. 3.) We have Brickmania Exclusive kits!
Dear Backer,
We're halfway through this campaign together and as said before, it's time we get serious about stretch goals! With the momentum we've been carrying, chances are good that we'll unlock a few extra goodies, but we want to be sure to make the most of the last two weeks!
As we round the corner on this campaign, getting the word out so we finish strong is going to ensure we can unlock those stretch goals. While we plan to continue with our own marketing strategy, this "affiliate program" is meant to be a fun and optional way for you to help out as well. As a means to incentivize you to help spread the word, we're promoting you to the rank of "Brick Mini Affiliate". As a Brick Mini Affiliate, all backers have the opportunity to earn free bonus rewards that will be added to your base reward at the end of the campaign.
How does it work?
You should expect to receive a direct message here on Kickstarter from us. We will send you a personal campaign link that is tied to your backer name and number. When you share your link, and somebody clicks on it and backs the campaign, we can track the amount that your personal link has raised. We won't know who backed through your link, but we can track the aggregate dollar amount raised.
What Bonuses Can You Earn?
You have the option to earn free First Wave sets of Nano Soldiers in your choice of colors (first wave sets retail for $10 and will be available as add-ons in this kickstarter for $9 each). Grab some free First Wave sets to go with your new Second Wave sets! The higher your pledge, the more bonuses you can earn! Please see the chart below for details. Find where your pledge lines up along the top of the chart. Along the left-hand side is the amount of money that you raise with your affiliate link, and the cell where those two axes convene shows the reward that you would receive for raising that amount. You will earn rewards based on the pledge level you're at when the campaign ends and funds are received. You can earn a potential of $45 worth of free Nanos (5 sets)!
At the end of the campaign, if you've managed to raise any money, we'll contact you letting you know. We'll also ask you for your color choices at that time. Let us know if you have any questions about how this works. We'll try and answer them as quickly as possible. It may take a little while for us to send out all of the affilliate links, so please be patient. We should have all links sent within a few hours.
Brickmania Exclusives
Last but certainly not least, we have Brickmaniaexclusives! In collaboration with Brickmania and Kit Designer Ryan Short, A.K.A. @GrasshopperSquadron of Instagram, we've been fortunate to offer two exclusive build kits as available add-ons to this campaign: The Douglas C-47 Skytrain, and the Waco CG-4 Glider. Both kits will be professionally assembled and packaged by Brickmania.
Douglas C-47 Skytrain; Estimated price: $115 (may change slightly as Brickmania finalized the price); Piece Count: to be announced soon; Kit Designer: Ryan Short; Instagram: @GrasshopperSquadron
Waco CG-4Glider; Estimated price: $60 (may change slightly as Brickmania finalized the price); Piece Count: to be announced soon; Kit Designer: Ryan Short; Instagram: @GrasshopperSquadron
Both the C-47 and the CG-4 (which was often towed behind C-47s) were used heavily by the Allies as a means of transporting troops and cargo. We chose to offer these particular designs with this Kickstarter campaign because of the heavy involvement they had in moving infantry. Both models are perfectly scaled to match the Nano-soldiers and the other other kits we have on offer.
We'll try to bring more info about these kits in future updates, but we hope this small teaser gets you as excited about them as we are!
Have an awesome day and let's crush this next two weeks!
