The only people I can imagine buying 10 add-on pins are either crazy betting on it being sought after, have a ton of friends that asked them to get them one, or are ebay hucksters trying to make some bucks.
I have serious doubts any of those are common cases ... If it breaks 2K I'll be just as shocked as TAC.

what about someone who backed for $1000 or $500 just because they like round numbers but because there isn't a tier for those, they are able to get 10 pins on top of the stuff they get at those tiers

SerpicoBC · August 2015

I'm doing the main pin and the add-on. $180 total.

Also, new guess 1131 to fix my duplicate!

Maybe they'll get 3 hoodies instead? I'm not going to tell you what to guess, but banking on fringe cases seems like an interesting tactic.

fishfishmonkeyhat · August 2015

Ok new official this time for realsies guess is 2400.

Ok dropped back to pin level. I could probably have swung it with 2 add-on pins, but I gotta start putting some money aside for AUS.

I already guessed and I think the number of people who might have bought more then 3 are not going to change the amount more then a couple hundred but I do think it is going to make up for enough to adjust the average closer to 2 per person, which with 1131 people able to get them, it is putting it closer to 2k

guyincorporated · August 2015

My bet is on 2200 bonus pins. Honestly it comes down to how popular the hoodies are. I just can't tell.

Degraine · August 2015

Whoops, I forgot to do my timezone math and the Kickstarter ended at 3am my time.

Ah well, I'll buy it when the series goes up for sale on the interwebs.

And I guess I should throw in a guess on the bonus pins as well. Mmmmm... 1950.

Tubby2877 · August 2015

My bonus pin guess is 2877 because, well why not obviously!

Kurpav · August 2015

400 pins

dmosinee · August 2015

My official guess for the pin contest:

1080 Add-On Pins Sold

bravesaturn · August 2015

I postulate 1135 add-on pins sold.

Shadowscars22 · August 2015

I'm going to say 1123! Good luck everyone!

odinson83 · August 2015

Did Khoo ever mention when the Automata Pin numbers would be reviled?

orthancstone · August 2015

Don't believe so, but they wouldn't have hard numbers until after surveys are done due to the "add-on" nature of Kickstarter.

odinson83 · August 2015

Ahhhhh ok, I forgot the survey. Thank you @orthancstone

NowHiringHenchmen · August 2015

Official guess is 1611 pins!

Pruncible · August 2015

Ice cream is lovely, and I always read through an entire thread before repeating things other people already said.

What a wonderful day, isn't it?

Pruncible · August 2015

Pin add-on guess: 750

Gerzzog · August 2015

Was gonna be that guy who goes one less than the lowest but it's probably too low. So I asked the wife and I'll go with her guess :P

My guess is 1372

Did the survey go out for this? The one asking for your address, etc.?

orthancstone · August 2015

Nah, it hasn't gone out yet. The most recent update says they'll wait until all the money has processed before inquiring (14-21 days).

Lazorz · August 2015

It's not too late for this because it's not August 15th yet, right?

I'm guessing 1525.

Evenstar · August 2015

My pin number guess is: 1212!

brettness37 · August 2015

My guess is probably late, but 2037.

YoungFrey · August 2015

I guess 2,080 (arrived at by math, guesswork, and wishfull thinking).

Sammy.Sam · August 2015

My guess is 2,555 add on pins

gn0x · August 2015

Well, it's my own fault for having a baby! My life pretty much had baby blinders on for the last 3 months... what do I miss? A 2nd Kickstarter Exclusive pin (make that 2 Kickstarter Exclusive pins with the add-on) and a Limited Edition Blind Box Merch pin. OY!

Ayefkay · August 2015

You should've thought ahead, my friend.

"Look, baby, i love you and i want to start a family with you, but in about 9 months im just not going to be able to take care of you AND my pin obsession...you understsnd, right?"

Yeah...I bet she would have......

fishfishmonkeyhat · September 2015

Surveys have gone out.

Luckily for @giantry I remembered he gave me some money for one of the add-on pins.. >_>

Madkine · October 2015

It's been a while since surveys went out, bumping to see if it reminds Khoo of the guessing game.

Robert Khoo · October 2015

Yup, I remember... but we still have a few folks that haven't responded. Don't worry!

calamityjamie · October 2015

@Robert Khoo never forgets

zerzhul · October 2015

He's like Lando, in that regard.

Evenstar · October 2015

Or an elephant

fishfishmonkeyhat · October 2015

That's not the reason he's like an elep[No -The Management]

Robert Khoo · November 2015

THE RESULTS ARE IN!

The final count is....
