While I must say the core set deal is really awesome, and I have at the moment a spot in Wave 1, I think ultimately I will drop out mainly because of International shipping.
I backed the first Kickstarter and I can say I was satisfied with it, but I think for gaining the same value I would need to spend nearly the double amount (Higher shipping [also resulting higher import fees], and from my point of view there is no "free $25" for addons in form of the Sophie-swap [and luckily selecting Kaladrax for it, which was a really good choice]).
But maybe something will happen that convinces me to stay in, I'm not sure yet.
