But its grown quite a bit! Here are some of the amazing people who are actively curating, managing, and representing the new Babycastles arcade:

Hey guys, just checking in here too. T-Shirts ever go out?
You guys ever send out the t-shirts? I never got one...
Did y'all ever mail out the Pawn Shop packs? This was the first Kickstarter I ever funded, but I never received anything. :(
Have addresses for shirts already been collected? I've moved a few times since this project ended and can't really remember, but I'd need to submit a new address if they have been.
we have the shirts and we plan to screenprint them this week!
Shirts update, again?
Shirts update?
Woohoo! 9 grand! Good luck, you guys! Wish I could attend.
Marty - It looks like THREE Tshirts people have sent me, combined! Pictures should be really really soon, good point :)
Chris - YAY.
Rachel - YES. AND THANK YOU
Everyone - THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I pledged $5 above my chosen level - can I get the pawn shop reward stickers too? :)
now*
Great to see the goal was met, but wow let's obliterate it!
So what's the t-shirt look like?
Great job IGN! Of course, had I known sooner, I would have waited until today to pledge ;)
Go get 'em guys. Do it for gaming. Do it for Ridgewood. Do it for all of us! Can't wait to see it come together!
Lets prove these kickstarter trends and have this last week be a major push past 6k

Yeah more sexy pix! Cindy and I can't agree who gets who. Please include some tape to make post-fight repairs.
Thank you for your support Heather & Kokoromi!!! I'll see if I can get Arthur Ward Jr. on the sexy picture scene as well as a bonus surprise... Can't wait for you to collect your rewards :) :) :) :) :)
My pledge is actually from Kokoromi! Can we get signed pix of Syed AND Kunal? After all, there are 4 of us.... it would be perfect.... don't make kokoromi choose! Kokoromi doesn't like it when you make us choose!
Make me proud, Babycastles!
It's going to be very hard to get Oscar Castle to sign so many t-shirts. We'll find a way to encourage him. We'll take a video of the process.
Thank you everybody so far, so much!
This is going to be great—NYC will never be the same.
I always dreamed of owning an arcade but by the time i was old enough it seemed pointless. you guys have found a way to bring it back. i want to help in any way i can. and luckily i live 20 mins outside of NYC so hopefully i'll get to see it in person. good luck guys.
I'm an indie developer from Atlanta (@roxaloxa on Twitter) and this is an amazing idea. I hope you guys are successful! Glad to pledge.
