Sounds like you have a better grasp on the realities of running a business than mythic do @redscope.

One time when I had doubts about a kickstarter being delivered was Rail Raiders Infinite by Soda Pop Miniatures… and I was right to doubt them… some backers still haven’t received the product despite it going to retail.

I pestered them for a refund and I was one of the lucky ones that got my money back. That was only a $50 pledge.

If I was in your shoes… I’d be pestering mythic for my money back…

Black List Miniatures is asking the same for it’s Fantasy Series One… they are asking for donations to pay for shipping that start at $30 and go all the way up to $125. For that ‘donation’ you get a larger sum put towards a future kickstarter project by them. Although I’m happy with the pledge that I have received (UK got the goods some time ago)… there were so many delays and problems with delivery that I’d never trust them with my money again.

One more thing to consider… if you went into a high street store, or visited a website selling goods and they had put the wrong price on an item they are obliged to sell that item to you at that price. Some years back I think Argos priced a TV on the website at about a tenth of the price and it was several hours before they realised the mistake… far as I recall… they had to deliver.
