Wouldn't Chris be better off giving unique rewards (hand drawn art, medallions, autographed 8x5's) as incentive to donate? It seems a bit unimaginative to offer retail products that anyone can go to the store and buy..
 
To be fair, it's a safer investment than 95% of Kickstarters out there. I don't doubt for one second that he's being completely upfront and honest about what he intends to do with every last dime he receives: spend it on Legos. It's not like there's a risk of him vanishing into the night and spending the money on something responsible instead, like clothes that fit him or a place to live after he's thrown out of the rental house or the dental work that his mother allegedly needs.
 
When your hopes of a new Chris video are dashed. Then again, seeing the geinus of his Lego Manchester High once more, I think my wallet just loosened itself.

If it was a Kickstarter for, say, key money so that Chris & Barb could get a place after their insurance money runs out, I MIGHT have ponied up a few bucks. Especially if he offered something like signed original art as a donation incentive. But LEGO??? The man's utterly childish priorities never cease to amaze me.

But are you implying that he'd actually use the money towards rent, Barb's teeth or anything important or responsible? I think its been said before, but at least fatty is being honest. He could have made a Kickstarter and claimed it was for getting a new place to live in, then use the money for Legos. You are right about drawings or something actually created by him being a better incentive. I mean, why bother donating if I could buy a Lego set (probably) for less?

Shhhh! He occasionally reads this forum. Let him think this one up himself. You're making it too easy for him.

he cant though, "fund my life" kickstarters are also not allowed.

Kickstarter might not, but I'm pretty sure IndieGoGo does allow that kind of thing. Which means the Barb's Teeth Fund may be a real thing as soon as he discovers said site, or one of the others that basically exist to facilitate e-panhandling more blatantly than KS does.

"I like making those close to me emotionally happy" Chris has gone full woman. Or at least what he thinks being a woman is.
Presiona para expandir...

This is a very old stock phrase of his. He likes saying this on dating profiles. But then, he's felt like a woman for a very long time too.
 
God damn it Chris. That's exorbitantly higher than market value. Even if you consider this a donation to Chris, the markup is insane.
Warning: hardcore sperging inside the spoiler..for those of you like me who have no idea what these things are worth

And it's running the opposite direction of either the computer or whatever direction Virgina is in, depending on your location and whichever one gets it farther from Chris.
 
I dunno, maybe I hit my head on the way in, but wasn't it like a week ago he was begging people to buy his pictures so he could pay bills and he and Barb could buy "good food?" I distinctly remember him saying, what was that... oh right...

Chris dijo:
I got my minimum payments made, which took up MOST of the recent sales, BUT my Mother still SERIOUSLY NEEDS her dental work: $600!

Now, I know he's made some money off of those medallion sales (over a grand, before shipping costs and cost of materials), but even with that... asking eight times more so he can buy Legos is a new level of pathetic. It's like your cousin asking to stay at your place for a little bit while he's in between job, and then a couple days later, they come driving into your driveway in a brand new Audi, and then having the nerve to see if you'll help with the payments since that would make them happy.

Among which, the risks include my full dedication to every detail in each individual store, office, vehicle and people entry points, exits, elevator, stairs, the stability of keeping the plates together in lifting the roof and second story off of the building to get inside it. But the Biggest risk is being able to afford ALL of the Sets and Pieces required to build it! Multiple Hearlake Malls and Schools, Olivia's Houses, Summer Riding Camps, Grey Baseplates, and even more that I can not estimate right now, because I would be just getting started on this project!

Let's say by some freak accident he gets the 5k. This statement by Chris pretty much states he doesn't even know what the fuck he's doing other than he wants to play with Legos. He doesn't have any set plan, and is planning on just winging it. This of course isn't any surprise, but considering this is his "dream project," you'd think he would have put in some forethought. Nope, can't even be bothered with that, just wants to build an even bigger dollhouse.
