For a $5000 donation you get an aging Cadillac Seville and must start your own Kickstarter for another 5 grand to fix it.
 
He should start a Ponzi scheme next. Invest now, get 50-100% interest after the Kickstarter. Start new Kickstarter. He buys a Lego item, resells it as perk for 4 times the price, the gain goes into his and his investor's (not really) pockets. Pay out a few early investors, to attract new ones.

You would be surprised at how many idiots come up with schemes that boil down to a ponzi scheme. I wouldn't put it past Chris. How he would handle being charged for fraud will make for excellent content.

I don't know whats worse, frankly. The fact that this has so far amassed $216, or that if it continues at this rate, it'll meet it's goal.

Your card/whatever isn't charged till the end of a successful Kickstarter campaign, and you can cancel at any time before the Kickstarter is over.

Just hypothetically speaking, it would be trivial for weens to run the total up to way over $5,000 and then cancel all the pledges with, say, half an hour remaining.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. This is not a trolling plan. I have not and will not contribute to Chris's Kickstarter Lego fund.
 
I don't really know Kickstarter. If you make a pledge, is there any way to take it back? The reason I ask is because there's a part of me that's hoping some weens pledge hundreds of dollars, the goal gets met and they lose their money. It'll be an important lesson for everyone except Chris.

EDIT: Chairman Meow managed to answer my question before I'd finished posting it. I love the Internet.

Chris could probably save a bunch of money by just buying legos in bulk and not trying to mash together multiple sets. But what do I know?

There is also LDD to be used for this purpose. He can design his mall in it, and if Lego still offers it (Haven't been to their site, nor used LDD in years), he can have it manufactured and shipped to him. But this might be economically sensible you know.
 
Wow, he wants to add a Pokemon Center in his mall...

Like others have stated, this kickstarter is already reported for its violatons and will probably be taken down soon. Indiegogo might be an option, but I think Patreon would be Chris' best bet if he wants to find a way for strangers to pay him for just existing.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get a member named "stud-to-stud."

So he wants to bring the plans that apparently got him an F in his CADD classes (and the teacher a place of honor among the villains in the comics) into reality?

Burning his house down was merely practice. Next on the agenda? A orange-white ball of Prometheus's gift ripping through a shopping mall, the noon-time sky made night with an impregnable curtain of smoke.
 
I honestly think if he incentivized smaller donations he would get a better number of backers, but then it would be work right? The idea a backing reward starts at $50 is just silly - it's like he only wants people to back for small amounts so he gets the money without work.
 
Datiko dijo:
He doesn't even think of international shipping. If everybody backed 50$ from outside of the US he wouldn't be able to afford the project. Would he then make a second Kickstarter.

Doesn't matter to Chris for now.
If the Kickstarter succeeds, he will have at least $5000 in october.
The rewards are not due until december, so he spends the money and thinks to himself
"hmm, yeah I will buy and ship the rewards later".

It's sad if to him, the height of culture is corporate franchises and shopping. Instead of the mayor's office being in some garish "battery charged blue" and yellow Rococo style palace with murals of electric hedgehogs in epic fantasy scenes painted on the ceilings, it's in a shopping mall of all places.

I don't know... Could he have picked this up from "Tom Goes to the Mayor"? Do we know when he started saying the Mayor's office was in the mall? The show came out in 2004, he didn't graduate with the CADD degree until 2006, so...

I do imagine he watched Adult Swim religiously at night.

Okay, which of you goofballs decided to throw 200 bucks to him?
