Awesome Stuff: Rethinking Retro: Rocket Skates, Coolers And Tickers
from the retro-what? dept
For this week's Awesome Stuff post about interesting crowdfunding projects, we're taking a look at products that are a kind of modern rethink of some more "retro" ideas. Of course, I'll also toss in a quick reminder that our own crowdfunding project for our net neutrality coverage is still moving forward. We're close to 60% of the way there, and could use your help (and, remember, all pledges are backed with matching money!).- RocketSkates

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Why can these people not price stuff at a reasonable price so that kids can order these nexwave of technology toys.
By the time I read this and looked the kickstarter project only had them at over $350 and I would not say I was being greedy wanting to get them under $150.

If you realy want those, i think you have to wait for some simmilar releases, or buy it off some one, but then they are used.
