To be honest I like this type of thing and I would have impulse-bought this on the spot if it weren't for the fact that it's a pre-order, and now I just looked on amazon for a competing product and got it shipped to me prime. I understand how in these days of crowd funding everyone wants to eliminate all risk in launching new products and I'm sure it works sometimes and when it doesn't you the product-launcher don't lose much. But these are also days of consumer impatience (at least with me). This isn't a video game or a robot or something you're making, why not just order some powder and make an initial batch before launching this? The cost of doing so can't be that big relative to the cost of getting the site up.
