Can someone enlighten me on Implode and Meteor Blaster DX?

500 Insanities cost just over 1000 dollars after shipping.

Lets kickstart this summabitch, $1,200 should get it all set.  $25 gets you a numbered kickstart special copy of the game, which is $20 for the game and $5 for shipping.  I am sure 60 people will get in on it, people love that numbered shit.  Rest of the games can go to the creator to do what he pleases with.  No doubt in my mind we can get it done!

Anyone want to buy my CDR version for $24 shipped? I'll even number it. LOL

You have to take into account Kickstarter fees.

300 discs is plenty. We don't have that many active members and this project should be as cheap as possible to increase our chance of making the goal.  If Mindrec wants to pay extra for more discs, that's their business.

Meteor Blaster had a 6-panel insert. Factoring that into the Nationwide calculator creates an estimate of about $900 (shipped) for 300 discs. We can raise that if 45 members pay $20 + $5 to mail their individual copies. 45 contributions is a lot easier than 60.

EDIT:

Oh, right.

Think it could be accomplished within this forum? 45 doesn't "seem" like a lot, but I guess it probably is for a site like this.

Also, where do the other 255 copies go? The biggest raffle to ever grace these boards?

Yeah, but then you have to deal with paypal fees, or someone getting audited after receiving 45 suspicious paypal "gifts", or the hassle of refunding everyone if the goal isn't met, or another mess like the MSR preorder debacle when the project took longer than expected. According to their FAQ, the Kickstarter fee is 5%. For $900, that would only be $45, or one more contributor. It's a small price to pay for convenience and peace of mind.

Mindrec could keep 'em and sell 'em for all I care. The forty-five contributors could get shiny stickers and numbering like the Signature Edition.

[Keranu]

This sounds like a excellent idea! You can count my pledge in this shit!

[TheClash603]

Yeah, I think that Mindrec will get on board if it means 250ish free pressed games, which it could potentially make $100s on.  They could real easily put an evergreen ebay listing at $25 a pop and probably make a few hundred dollars with minimal effort.  I see this as a win/win in every regard.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Well, I deffinitely want one, though I no zero about kickstarter.

[esteban]

I am totally happy to support the MeteorBlaster DX Pressing Partay.

[hizaygizirlz]

i'd likely be interested as well.  Everyone has me scared to play the one I got now.

I would think that for repros, that a nice full-color cd case insert and back insert would be very nice to have.

Also, if wanting to do pressed repros of not-released-in-America Turbo CD games what would be the 5-10 most desirable games?

Necromancer created a thread for this. I believe that it is in the PCE section.

Kickstarter has some pretty steep fees (a total of 9.1% on $25), so I'm tempted to bankroll it myself (at least offer it to BT anyhow).  At $1000 total, it'd only take 49 other guys to buy one for me to get my money back, and I don't think that's much of a risk.
