the cost of shipping popularity

Greggles has supported a number of kickstarters as I have already mentioned numerous times. Recently, one that he has been looking forward to announced it had the first shipment ready. Except they weren't going to ship em to the backers, but instead bring a bunch to a convention instead. Way to go... way to support the ones that support you. I do not understand people and their business making decision skills. This is why banks do not back you and you have to ask random people to help ya out... and then screw over. One of the reasons they will not ship is due to cost of shippin all those minis.... I think there may be a solution for that.
