Some of these have no real source material and no tie-ins, so Wal-Mart, Target, etc. wouldn't carry them.

That being said, I'm not sure why he is using the Kickstarter platform, instead of just putting up preorders on his site, like HasLab, and avoiding campaign fees. The only thing I can think of is that Kickstarter does have a pretty wide reach and quite a large customer base that is always looking for new campaigns to back.

I am wondering the exact same thing...
I am also hearing some people say that they will not support the kickstarter but will buy if BBTS carries them, but also unsure what this means...
Also, yeah, super bad time for doing this.
