1 month agoI’m popping by to let you know that I received mine today. I won’t have time to play with them until tonight but I did unbox one and they look just as advertised.

Why? At worst I’m out a few bucks but I really do expect them to show up. Jeff Gerling has already been playing with them.
- I happened to be in my email when the survey link came through so I had it filled out within 2-3 minutes. BTW I goofed, I got the “reward shipped” email two days ago and not last week. So it’s with China shipping but hasn’t hit a domestic carrier yet.
I backed it as well. Got my shipping notice a week ago and am looking forward to playing with it.

Head to Vegas and bet all 100 Million that the Earth will be destroyed by an Asteroid in the next 25 days.
Earth not destroyed? 100 Million is gone and the Billion is yours. Earth IS destroyed? You aren’t alive to know that you won the bet but lost the Billion.
You literally cannot lose.

What happened to Hanlon’s Razor?
Rossman happened. He has videos that need watched.
Reolink.
Could be that they are taking a loss on the initial units in order to get going. Once the campaign backers are taken care the product is commercialized and then the price goes up. I’ve seen more than one Kickstart campaign used to launch a company in just this way. (Tempest PWS is another example).
Anyway they aren’t vaporware. I backed the campaign and received my units today.
