==Wancher Dream Pen Kickstarter==
'''Brad:'''  Next one Mike I am also a backer.
<br>'''Brad:'''  We talked about it last week in a in a weird time warp kinda way the watcher dream penned Kickstarter I have to say going back and listening to it our predictions were pretty accurate.
<br>'''Brad:'''  I at first I said this should find in about thirty minutes and then we did the math on X. actually how many pens the it needed to find a set of the so fun in like ten minutes and I think it funded in about ten or twelve minutes yeah so what have your thoughts been since we recorded two weeks ago on this.
<br>'''Myke:'''  I feel basically the same.
<br>'''Myke:'''  I feel fine about it in the sense that you know.
<br>'''Myke:'''  I don't believe the anyone's getting scammed here right leg shirt yeah right I think this is like a legit saying.
<br>'''Myke:'''  I remain concerned about time lines that they giving I think April for some of these pens still seems incredibly aggressive but as you said they may have already had the made up but six is go six hundred twenty six back because right now with twenty one days ago I mean this is probably going to be like a thousand you know there is still being a cause you get like that kick up at the end and as more people talk about it with talking about it again now right like I think they're gonna get close to that if not that and that's a lot pens and these pens apparently take a long time to make so I'm I'm very keen to see what happens at this project post post funding.
<br>'''Myke:'''  But I mean I believe everyone's gonna get that stuff I have no reason to believe that will be the case but I am very keen to see if they're able to meet the.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Very aggressive timelines that they've set themselves I mean like some of these pens like somebody ebonite pens and stuff the St April I mean and this project ends at the end of February.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Right yeah that's it's it's still yeah it's very aggressive there there's no doubt.
<br>'''Myke:'''  So we'll say I mean that they're obviously a big.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Bernie right you know I could be getting a big enough fight if they have a history that not like.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Brian you and is used is you said he is he gassed and I reckon that you're right that they already had a bunch of these made they were just you know the part we have five hundred them to sit sit now ready before they launched a project right so they could.
<br>'''Brad:'''  And probably not that many.
<br>'''Myke:'''  But you know what I mean that they had in the mail they probably had a significant amount more than any company with typically do and going into a project like this correct as we expect to and believe they probably have the resources us so yeah I'm very very interested you know that that was a close in on all past two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Yeah almost there and they've hit two.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Stretch goals to where they're adding two new colors of a re she finish so the first one they did a voting competition it was yellow verses green.
<br>'''Brad:'''  And one out on that one so that one's done now they have the new one I think they just sent out the the vote this morning it's yellow versus purpose.
<br>'''Brad:'''  So out of those three colors what are so yellow verses green what do you pick.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Hi the green one more.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Yeah yellow versus purpose.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Purple.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Yeah yeah I was just not gonna win any vote now it's not it looks at it looks cool it's always going to come in second to green and purple I was hoping for an orange an orange red would top yellow to.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Yeah.
<br>'''Brad:'''  But yeah green and purple are certainly going to be the ones and I think that's the last of the new colors I don't think they're introducing anymore new colors after that so those were the two stretch goal vote so the parable verses yellow still active but I'm pretty sure purpose going to run away with that.
<br>'''Myke:'''  So I have a bike this project yet but I plan to like it but I think that I will my main problem is I am so overwhelmed.
<br>'''Myke:'''  I don't know how to back this project.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Yeah.
<br>'''Myke:'''  It's it's so confusing like because I large project think you know like I'm looking at all of the options like one I'm not even a hundred percent sure what I guess I'll go for the Arusha right like I mean that's probably wanted to do anything but I'm like well I think I might want to different and have been I think I might wanna roll stop and it's like all proximate Lee twenty dollars to it's it's all very confusing.
<br>'''Myke:'''  But I I think I am going to go for it but yeah I'm just a bit yeah just a bit confused about it.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Yes so the other other comment I wanted to make is they now have a banner on their top image says most funded fountain pen I don't know if they mean the most funded want your dream pen because it's definitely not the most funded fountain pen on Kickstarter I know the vision air did three something.
<br>'''Brad:'''  So you know take that for what you will but this is not the most funded anything unless it's the most funded of their own projects so.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Yeah.
<br>'''Brad:'''  One of those very vague comments to make.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Like you get a lost two days like what are you saying.
<br>'''Brad:'''  That I'm right because one of the comments made to be like make you feel super important except it not me hot text it means literally nothing.
<br>'''Myke:'''  They may be a lousy founded by back count I mean it's one of the six hundred twenty six people into on that house and dollars it at me like you.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Vision there was a thirty dollar pen.
<br>'''Myke:'''  And.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Then a hundred something they had probably four thousand backer Sentinel I mean.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Amount of bankers to value right like hello.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Share.
<br>'''Myke:'''  With a lot of money right I mean that's one of the really wild things about this pen is like there at like a quarter of a million dollars with six hundred people hope you know.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Really strange is like.
<br>'''Brad:'''  That that's.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Probably the amount of people will have on our project.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Right right six hundred.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Yeah.
<br>'''Myke:'''  But.
<br>'''Brad:'''  If it.
<br>'''Myke:'''  Follows previous years but like rats that's one of the things that makes this project so wild.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Yep.
<br>'''Brad:'''  Yep so it's gonna be fun to watch will be talking about this a lot.
