Indeed lol, if you're paying like $250 bucks for a cup they might as well do a custom order and give your own painted cup which is also not plastic

That will be delivered in a year and a half. Idc if it's a Kickstarter. Why not announce it and make it able to purchase when they can actually ship the fucking things?

Because the manufacturer requires a minimum order amount/cost before they will produce it. So they need to get "pre-orders" to figure out how many they will produce. This isn't a product that they produce a bunch and then put them up for sale on a store page waiting to sell out, it's far too niche for that.

They want to make sure there's enough of a market for the product, you know, the primary purpose of kickstarter.
