flaw how? so KS items are less popular than the light sprite, how is that a flaw? I even made a point about how the light sprite specifically has achieved a kind of fabled, mythical status that in many people's eyes elevates it even above some kickstarter items by the looks of it. It looks better than most kickstarter items as well in my opinion, I know I'd take it any day over all four of the KS familiars. It's a cute little golden fairy and the glowy golden light aesthetic is like #1 in the list of popular aesthetics. Having a full sprite set seems to be of larger interest among collectors than having a full KS item set. I can imagine most collectors have resigned themselves to the mindset that KS items are just not worth it. But majority of the sprites are still reasonably obtainable and the human desire to complete your set is pretty natural.
Also, when it comes to kickstarter item sales, they tend to be more researched, especially for the more popular ones (bone fiend, skycat, gilded crown). People are more likely to turn to the forums to buy/sell them because it's considered a big deal, and look into the sale history more thoroughly before buying/selling. And I mean, as of typing this, the only KS item on the AH right now is a cranial hornhelm which is up there for 2x the amount that, according to the database, it has sold for previously so it's not like AH sellers aren't trying to get more out of KS stuff as well.
