I was going to pull the trigger on these months ago but I didn’t like the idea of such a long wait time. I just checked now and his estimated delivery for a purchase today is June. Still? This guy could be making a boatload more money if he invested in some manufacturing help. --- End quote --- Not sure if you noticed but theres a pandemic on. Massive corporations are struggling with supplies, factories running and everything else so not sure why you think a one man operation and a small moulding and assembly factory would fare any better? |

That said, from a business standpoint I would try to maybe get some help so people wouldn’t have to wait 90 days to get a product, that’s all. I read through this whole thread, I know others complained of the same thing. |

I think if you are ordering anything off of indiegogo then your expectations should be set real low, these are small start ups coming off of a Kickstarter. I would think we are all considered part of the pilot rollout at this point. I would prefer to have my guns in hand, I’m not super happy about being on the indiegogo for 1 year but it’s an extremely niche product that no one else is offering, so what’s our alternative? You could cancel your order in protest but that wouldn’t get it to you any faster. At least he’s being clear with new customers and when they are going to get them, I do wish he continue to do weekly communications with orders that went out this week, the guys is obviously over his head and trying to do this while being careful not to lose his shirt, he could have pushed production overseas but then he wouldn’t have the close eye on production quality. BTW, try ordering a PS5 or GTX card lately? Or anything hobby related, it’s crazy everywhere, why would this be different and he doesn’t even have the resources of a large corporation. |

Nah.... --- End quote --- On a retail page, 100% agree, on an indiegogo platform, it’s an extension of a Kickstarter and that fits well within that structure. He also makes it perfectly clear to new buyers that the batch they are contributing towards is “targeted” for June, so nothing prevents someone from waiting until he moves off the platform to a commercial page, request a refund, or wait for a target date that makes sense for you, until then everyone is just getting in queue. It seems rare to get much innovation in this space, let alone launch a product in this current environment. Guys like this need more support so we get other innovators. |
