    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

    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.

    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

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

    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.

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

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

    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).
