Income tax, seriously? Incorporate and treat that money as revenue, not income. Spend it all and pay no tax since you've made no profit.
Bound to fail and I don't see many people here interested, I won't add it for now.
Fair enough. The guy running it really needed to advertise it more. It seems like he seriously hoped that one site alone would cover the whole 20k.
Par of the course for them:
It's not big news, Games workshop has been fleecing this crowd for years
Well also Reaper had already established themselves over many years as the preeminent miniatures company, consistently producing high-quality work. This combined with the Bones line being more affordable than metal made their first KS irresistible to many gamers - some who hadn't even collected minis before (myself included). The vampire pledge level was like getting an instant minis collection for $100. Now, if you bought all of that separately it would cost $400+.
Yeah they're great - holding a surprising amount of detail for being plastic. The sad thing is I just haven't had much free time to paint them yet. But I will probably pledge for their new Kickstarter too, if I can afford it (still deciding that). Then I'll be stocked up with minis for the foreseeable future!
Not really. The kickstarter money is actually funding the cutting of the expensive steel moulds that are needed to make injected plastic figures, it would take them years to put this many figures into production without kickstarter.
