Can anyone explain kickstarter to me I have seen it mentioned but don't really know what it is ?
 
Kickstarter or Crowdfunding as it is sometimes called is a process for funding ideas when you have no money. For example, If I
produced a sculpt and wanted to put it into production but had no money for moulds or production/distribution. I would advertise it as a kickstarter and anybody interested in getting the final product could purchase shares to fund the project. They would then get priority or discount when the product came to market. It could also be used to develop virtually any commercial idea.
 
Samson,
Usually the money is held in escrow until they have collected the required amount to start the project. Once the amount or more is reached by the deadline time, Then the project is a go. Then you will receive your reward for helping reach the goal. If the goal is not reached then the money is refunded to the investors (you if you ordered.)
I have been on two great kickstarters from Micheal Kontraras and was delighted to be part of it and received two awesome figures at the same time.
Cheers
John
