I don't think I am out of line in saying I am sure the crew appreciates any support that any fan gives them no matter how much or little, or even if they can only afford to give time by reposting links. Every show of support is just that.

Yup I had to start a second account too.

I jumped on Creepy Doll the night it launched, then added the shirt/pin/poster a la carte. Then Graham had to go and add the announcer tier. I mean how could I pass up on an epic ring tone from G Starr himself.

There are still three left and I kinda want to snag another one. So many ideas for him. A lot of Phail references bounding in my head.

To quote a PA commenter beneath this week's Checkpoint:

"What? Loading Ready Run is doing a kickstarter! I wan't to get in on that sweet swag, how have I not heard of this before?"

I fear if I get the DVD reward I will have nothing to buy from them at the next convention I attend.

I've seen through their cunning ruse, this entire kickstarter campaign is merely a smokescreen for the latest attempt to offload the wiiplay shirts. I don't think anyone's gonna fall for it though, I wonder what they'll try next (assuming this attempt falls through).

They Kickstart the twelfth and final season of LRR with the rejected backer tier being moved down to $2000. They drop it to $1500 for the thirteenth and no really final season, then 1000 for the fourteenth and really really final season, and for the sixteenth and REALLY REALLY final season for super serious this time. The first person to back the project gets them... Making season 15 the real last season because no one is willing to be that first backer.

But honestly, They could just include one in every package that is backed at like the $200+ level or something.

Also if they sweetened the rejected pig with say 3000 or so bump in the nights ;)

I'm... I'm not sure that is a good idea. People might cancel their pledges. D:

With the current high prices on cotton, I'm beginning to wonder if it might be cost effective for someone to do the "rejected backer" tier, buy all the t-shirts, figure out how to disolve the images, and sell them back to the manufacturer as blank black t-shirts. XD

The problem with sending the shirts out with every tier above a certain level is that the shirts are in Canada, and, as I understand it, the only reward currently being shipped from Canada is the Creepy Doll...

Use the shirts as stuffing for the Creepy Dolls?

You see? Even the Canadian post office has seen through their ruse to get the wiiplay tshirts out of the country and has refused to be party to their machinations!

I'm pretty sure Canada Post does its best to make sure that NOTHING gets out of the country. And nothing comes into it. And nothing goes from any place in the country to any other place.

Basically they're crap, is what I'm saying. Thank goodness for the US Postal Service.

I think they'll get a backer for this tier by the end, but if not, putting a few pieces of Rejected Wii Shirt in every Creepy Doll is a great idea. An in-joke in more than one sense of the word.

Pledged $40 for the music pack and a few extras. Pretty sure that's my limit unless the scratch cards come up lucky.
I drifted off around Desert Bus 6, sort of drifting back in with a new account, don't be surprised if I'm shocked by old news...

Royal Mail -> Canada Post got me my Barbour jacket in a week for £20.

I never understand you people who have issues with it, the national services (Canada Post, Royal Mail, USPS) I've experienced are always the best, most reliable, and cheapest, if slower, than couriers.

Despite never really having much issue with Canada Post, I still rag on them constantly. Probably confirmation bias combined with how when things get held up in Customs (of any country), they can get really held up.
