From what I've seen, 90% of nerd culture is mandatory viewing of every single science-fiction, fantasy, and superhero tv show and movie. Some of my nerd friends seem to have a complete inability to say no to any genre entertainment on the screen. They have no choice but to watch all the Harry Potter movies, or the latest Marvel movie, or whatever science fiction shows are on Amazon Prime right now. The merchandise might involve some showing off of acquisitions, but its just an extension of the compulsive watching of nerd shows.

So you guys are saying that 90% of nerds are stupid small-dicked lemmings?

It's Sales 101. You can totally mess with the interaction between supply and demand by lying about your supply.

Not out loud, because the only difference between the people buying the giant Cthulhu statue game and the rest of us is the amount of disposable income they have. If we had the money, we'd be spending it. Maybe not on Giant Cthulhu, but on other nerd crap - like the Batman game, or Lego Star Wars, or Warhammer stuff, or whatever. Except for Michael Barnes. He'd be blowing it on Mid-Century Modern American Girl furniture.

Joke's on you, THAT's how you actually summon Cthulhu.
I also saw that delivery on these later pledges is in 2020! Wow.

I wonder how many divorces this stupid fucking statue is going to cause...this is like the board gaming equivalent of the leg lamp in A Christmas Story.
I mean, if you want a Cthulhu statue, I’m sure there are plenty out there that look at least more artful and interesting than this Lovecraftian Michelin Man.

Instead, I'm pretty sure backers are just going to get a hunk of plastic to stare at in the middle of their table. Many of these things also won't be painted when people either figure out how much the paint will cost and how much work & skill it'll take to make it look decent, or will want to preserve its original pristine condition and leave it as a grey blob.
Lost opportunity.
