Hasbro has it's own preorder system where if something doesn't make enough they don't produce it. That on it's own is kind of like kickstarter (to the point I hear people in the GI Joe and Transformer communities ask 'why not just use kickstarter or indegogo?) my thing is I like them doing it that way better because Hasbro being on kickstarter itself dilutes what kickstarter is... and again I know i am a hypacrit for my opinion. the thing is people in this very thread say it isn't a store, you should KNOW it has risks as if people are being dumb expecting the company they back (if it goes through) to produce the product... but when Enworld publishing, or Reaper Minis (or in theory hasbro) does it they set up that it IS going through, they ARE making it. same with WoD.   now when someone sees a smaller company and compaires it to one of them it has set up a fake comparison... but one I see people make. "I backed 5 WoD books and 3 sets of Reaper minis and this one independent guy doing a campaign setting and they all deleivered, so when I back this independent guy making a 4e retroclone its the same..." but it isn't the same is it. that 'risk' comes with ones that can't afford to do it and may over extend (and I am also sure some scams). Yes we can say that you can educate yourself on what the risks are but look back at this thread how many people say I backed X number and all of them or all but 1 came through... without ALSO saying how many were by bigger companies and mid size companies already established...</blockquote>
