Actually someone I know tried that just the other day and the bank said "sorry, we can't take that amount of change - take it to one of those machines in a supermarket"
Which was a load of bollocks & it promptly went back home again.

Cracked!

Premium boxed version and a piece of art as an extra.

So no pocket money for the kids for quite some time then.

And we're done...

£1.578 million.

Not bad at all!

So did anyone here go big and get on the decision makers forum etc?

Rereading the start of this thread again is a bit of laugh.

Lots of adamant predictions that the Kickstarter would get nowhere near goal yet alone significantly surpass it :D

Yeah. I'm very surprised given the early publicity and disappointing response. From rereading this thread I wonder if most of the additional cash is pledge-upping, rather than new people coming in?

That'll probably be inflated by a small number of relatively large backers. The median would be more interesting information.
