Its crowdfunding page, on Indiegogo, is a bit bizarre to me:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/skully-ar-1-the-world-s-s...

1,940 backers for $2.44 million, and only 24 comments? For a project with this many backers with this much skin in the game, comments usually number in the hundreds (if not thousands), especially as it becomes apparent that the campaign will miss its estimated delivery dates. Even though Skully seems to have its own website and support forum, the campaign landing page is still where you have "noisy" backers (i.e. people who frequently back products enough that the site becomes a social network for them).

Did they ship to all the Kickstarter backers?
No, I was one of the first 25 indiegogo backers, haven't received anything.
Oh man, sorry to hear that. I was part of that group too, but I got one. I feel like I lucked out getting something at all, even though the long term value is in some question now. What a mess.
