Contributed as well. Looks very promising. $99 is too good a deal to pass up.

I was on the site the second it started and was not lucky enough to get the $99 deal.  However, I did get one of the $129 which was the highest I was going to pay.  Hopefully all goes well and we get them in November!

Yeah, they went away super-quickly. I clicked the pay button about 30 seconds after the site went live and almost 700 had already gone. 

1800 backers at the moment. That‘s quite astonishing considering it‘s such a niche thing. Good for them. And for us.

And nobody is questioning that??  Has anyone here been able to get the deal?  My bet there was no deal!  For now I can only say

Buyer Beware!

I got the $129 deal and looking at the comments from within the Kick Starter campaign there are several people that stated they did get the $99 deal.  However, I think buyer beware is very relevant for any Kick Starter so hopefully people realize that.

I was looking at that kick-starter site and it said 2564 Backers, meaning people who bought this"product".  Some quick math:

1000@ $99.00= $99,000.00

1564@ $129.00= $201, 756.00

total so far $300,756.00 

That's a lot of money, if true!
