I've always wondered how frequently this happened. While I do enjoy the videos and lengthy posts about the backstory, inspiration and early design ideas on a lot of Kickstarter/Indiegogo projects, I've always wondered if someone else could pick up the inspiration and run with it. I appears that the barriers to actually executing an idea (which is usually the excuse for ideas not ever coming to fruition) get lower and lower every day, with offshoring options, and manufacturers willing to create one off prototypes at very low prices.
