I had the same thought, especially since 73% of their funding is owed to the $10,000 nondescript "retail package" tier.

I can see people throwing away their money at a silly Kickstarter idea, but I have a hard time believing that not one but two "retail entities" saw this and came to the conclusion that $80 retail price for one candle is viable enough to pledge 10 grand for a mystery custom retail package.
