Is anyone pledging for the Carcassonne custom shaped meeples from Meeple Source?

I found it here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/meeplesource/game-upgrades-30-by-meeple-source

I see that it is just fancy paintings for the Dragon, Princess, Teacher, Mage, Witch, Count.  Then the extra colors Lime, Lavender, Salmon, Turquoise, Sky. $8.50 per color if you get all ten colors from this Kickstarter, or $9 for 4.

The other colors can be purchased cheaper from Cundco. About $4.40 US with current conversion rates at https://cundco.de/en/accessories/87/carcassonne-meeple-in-sonderfarben if you use a no foreign fees transaction credit card and disable the Paypal conversion service.  Cundco sent me the Abbot when I got Purple and Pink even though it isn't in the picture -- maybe I got lucky.  Have to add a small amount for shipping, but there is shipping on the Kickstarter also.

I don't yet have the Mage and Witch tiles, and haven't played the Count.  Hmm will think about this Kickstarter for a bit.

The Kickstarter doesn't deliver till October, so plenty of time for Cundco to get the ringmaster in stock if they don't offer them already.  You can now request replacement tiles in the new artwork.

I do like the dragon and fairy.

I still haven't backed this as the $85 is too much for me. I'm tempted by the custom pieces, and also some of the Colt Express things, but I'm yet to put my money where my mouth is.

What I'm talking about is $13. I'm not sure I see the point in paying $85 for all the existing wood in 10 different colours.

I have no interest in the Count or the teacher, so I would be paying $16 (It is $3 to ship to the USA) for 4 meeple.   I don't know if I can justify $4 per meeple.  I like the other colors, but I have yet to play a 6 player game of Carcassonne, so I really don't need other colors.   I have probably talked myself into this and out of this 10 times already. 

If I hadn't already pimped my Colt Express stuff, I would be all in on this. 

In other news Sailing Towards Osiris is funded.  They have added a bunch of new stuff because a Spanish publisher has signed on to help them reduce their costs.

I'm still fascinated by Brass, purely from an aesthetic standpoint at the moment (hence I have not shelled out $100USD). I may buy the iOS app to check out the gameplay, but I'm running out of time. Saw they have poker-chip style/size coins available now.
