Oh boy.

 

[Arkangel]

Do we know for certain if this is actually Chris or just some troll ruse?

 

[Roarz123]

Its America's favorite game, kickstart the autistic!

 

[Lelbron]

This was clearly what we were building up to. Now Chris has removed the part where he actually does anything.

 

[Enceladeans]

It's real. Chris posted it on Facebook.

Incidentally, I'm surprised Chris used Kickstarter instead of, say, IndieGogo, since they only fund you if you reached your goal. Guess he's dead set on making at least $5,000 here. At least he's honest about it going to Legos.

 

[Morbid Boredom]

Oh, my stars and garters.

Yeah, this is real -you can see it on his facebook page.

 

[DJAndyMD]

Uh, ok. I can say I have seen kickstarters for some of the most unusual causes but I can see how people would want to donate. After all, we saw how people are willing to spend their money on his ebay lots so I guess anything is possible.

 

[A Whole Block of Cheese]

$5,000 for legos? Are they made out of gold?

It's too crazy and clever to be ween. Also his Facebook is connected to it, so unless someone got his Facebook password (yes Marvin, I know that's damn near impossible now) I think this is real.

Edit: totes real

 

[A-Stump]

You ebin trolls out there should send him money to troll him

• Not for a Sonichu issue
• Not for Adult Chronicles

No thanks Chris, I don't think you understand the point of Kickstarter.

We all knew the CWC Kickstarter was inevitable but I don't think any of us expected it to be this retarded. An issue of Sonichu would have been a dead cert for money.

 

[RequiredName]

I guess this explains the car's selling price. Will people be able to shop there?

 

[Total Dingus]

For posterity. Because this violates Kickstarter's rules and will probably be reported soon.

"Resale. All rewards must have been produced or designed by the project or one of its creators — no reselling things from elsewhere."

 

[impossibility]

This may work better for Chris if his goods like autographs, drawings, and medallions were the reward incentives instead of lego sets that anyone can buy.

 

[Joan Nyan]

My ability on compressing my estimated measures of inches and feet into relatable Lego stud spaces

Is he saying that he has a better conception of the size of Legos then of feet and inches? Wouldn't surprise me honestly.

 

[MrsFrizzle]

It is weird that the rewards are LEGO products that Chris would presumably buy instead of Chris-produced items. If I wanted a LEGO Friends Character Encyclopedia, I'd just buy one for $12 instead of giving Chris $50.

Edit: beaten by impossibility, but, yeah. Chris's unique selling proposition is Internet notoriety and the Sonichu universe, not LEGO mastery.

 

[asperhes]

I guess Barb's teeth are all better now.

 

[Bridechu]

Anyone curious about the video, it's 100% the Lego Highschool vid previously uploaded, no new content in it.

 

[LM 697]

Sweet, a $40 Lego thing when you pledge five times that amount!

 

[Zvantastika]

It's real. Chris posted it on Facebook.

"the Biggest risk is being able to afford ALL of the Sets and Pieces required to build it!"
Poor little thing, such a courage to take such huge risk, someone gave him a medal-lion.
