The thing with kickstarters is that they need to ship to backers individually instead of shipping a few big containers to a small subset of locations. The latter is ‘easy’ because that’s what companies tend to do (unless they’re too small to have a retail presence), so they can take advantage of volume deals.

I’ve never backed kickstarters in order to get it *before* retail.
I back because I want to see the thing get made and on the shelves so other folk can enjoy the thing as well.

I really dislike the ‘kickstarter exclusive’ bits for the same reason.
