Kickstarter

--This page is under construction--

Kickstarter is a site which allows ordinary people to fund artistic and creative projects to be shared with the public. Chris used Kickstarter to raise money so that he could play with Legos.

The Campaign

On 23 2014, Chris opened a Kickstarter campaign entitled, "Lego Cwcville Shopping Center with Mayor Office," and announced it on his Facebook page. He was asking for $5000 in order to buy multiple sets of Legos so that he could build a version of the shopping mall he had designed as a CADD student at PVCC nearly ten years earlier. The funding period was thirty days, from 23 September to 23 October.

About this project From the success of my construction of the stud-to-stud replica of Heartlake High School, dedicated to Manchester High School of Midlothian, VA, USA, and my Class of 2000 from there, and with my previously designed from a College Class CADD plans for my very own Cwcville Shopping Center, from my Sonichu and Rosechu comic book series, I have decided to act on my inspiration and try for the dream of actually building my dream shopping mall in Lego Scale. My ability on compressing my estimated measures of inches and feet into relatable Lego stud spaces, as I have demonstrated in my creation of the Heartlake High School building seen in the video here, I feel I can very well achieve this expansive building size, even to have a Pokemon Center in there, like the one that used to be in New York, as well as my own Mayor Office. With your help, I might or will be able to make it happen! And everyone gets some Friends in the related Sets I am offering for each donation amount. Thank You All, and have a very good and safe day!  :) Risks and challenges Among which, the risks include my full dedication to every detail in each individual store, office, vehicle and people entry points, exits, elevator, stairs, the stability of keeping the plates together in lifting the roof and second story off of the building to get inside it. But the Biggest risk is being able to afford ALL of the Sets and Pieces required to build it! Multiple Hearlake Malls and Schools, Olivia's Houses, Summer Riding Camps, Grey Baseplates, and even more that I can not estimate right now, because I would be just getting started on this project!

Initially, his "rewards" for backers were in violation of Kickstarter rules. Then he changed them to simply,

"Pledge $50.00, I will personally engrave a 1X8 Brick with your name onto it, made for ypu and send it to you as well." Two people backed at this level.

He issued an update, "I have received a notice."

Thank you for your understanding. Best, Kickstarter I think I understand why, the rewards were considered "Resale" in their list of prohibited items. I am unable to edit the project listing, but I will consider redoing it, with a possible reward of an engraved 1X8 Brick for everyone who donates $50, and Everyone who donates will have their names on the pieces within the Lego Cwcville Shopping Center. You all may appeal to Kickstarter, if you wish. Thank you, and have a good and safe day.
