I guess I'm different from many other Indiegogo contributors. As a student on a lower budget, I already had a substantial backlog of Kritzerland titles I really wanted to buy, so this campaign, aside from being a way I was happy to support Bruce's efforts, also sufficed as a sort of a Kritzerland "sale" for me: Buy three titles for $50 flat, including shipping, and you even got a bonus mug and shirt in the deal! (I actually had a decent amount of trouble picking only three Kritzerland titles that had already been released.)
Speaking for myself, I was happy to get those bonuses (though the shirt only coming in XL was a little annoying). But I would have been more than happy to spend the $50 and just get three titles, to save Bruce money on shirt, mug, and more importantly shipping (because CDs can be inexpensively shipped first class, or media mail in larger quantity...but put in a mug and a shirt and I'll bet the Priority Mail charges ended up really hurting Bruce even domestically). At least I saved Bruce on shipping by ordering my three titles all at once, I guess.
If Bruce did another campaign I would definitely re-enlist.  I do find it appealing how each new title you could get would be a surprise, a way to try out music you otherwise wouldn't. And now that I graduated from school and have a full time job again, maybe I could even afford a high enough tier that I could manage that even after picking up some older Kritzerland titles I missed.
I am very encouraged by Bruce's new Warner Bros. relationship, which I hope also includes Rhino MGM titles (I think Lukas said the parent company was the same, but as they were different "arms" licensing was done separately.) In the wake of FSM's demise, those have all but dried up, with only the occasional one coming out from Intrada I think (ie. Rampage, North by Northwest re-do). I believe the Rhino catalogue also includes any surviving RKO titles, and some years back Bruce claimed that he knew of more Sinbad the Sailor (1947) surviving beyond the five minutes included on the Cloud Nine compilation. I'm hoping that's still the case and now that Bruce has access to licensing, maybe my #1 holy grail can finally be realized...
