Is this another case of money up front, then pinball machine will appear some time in the future?
Seems to be the latest pinball company model. Weird

from what I understand, if the set total is not achieved the money is not deducted off your credit card and the company / people after the money don't get a set if the total is not achieved. If the total is achieved kickstarter take a 5% cut I think of the raised money.

This is a
" we want to make some pinballs but lack some finance to get going"..

You can pledge as little as $5 and this gets you on the email list so you get the news first..

$15 is some stickers etc

The promise is that IF they get the alloted amount then machines will be made that you can then buy... but what you are doing here is buying some token item and the funds then go to financing the manufacture of the machine
