What color did you get?

Post Title (optional):

Blue, but it was hard to choose! I nearly picked a different color for each leg (it was an option!) but watching it move would have made me seasick.

Yeah, a rainbow hexy doesn't sound like a good idea.

The hexy blue is a beautiful shade. You chose well!

When do you think you'll get yours?

Post Title (optional):

Sep 2012 estimated delivery. Some backers even earlier. Makes a change from some Kickstarter projects!

2
Post Title (optional):

Yeah, that's different from most Kicktarter projects.

They under promised and they're over delivering.

Post Title (optional):

Many kickstarters only think as far as... what do we need to make a batch of these things! and treat kickstarter as the place to learn how to make and distribute. Smart projects treat kickstarter like a beginning ie. first batch(s) sold via kickstarter, then second batch(s) sold elsewhere so, they sort production and shipping out ahead of time, price appropriately and have a margin for error (both $ and time).

If there's a "You're doing it right" for Kickstarter, this is it.

I wish more Kickstarters would do it this way.
