    Hey, at least it will give us time to catch up with this topic. :D  I am sure discussion will slow down now.

    Your assuming the deadline needed to be extended. Maybe hasbro saw the amount of people wanting an extension and realized maybe they could reach 10,000 if they extended. Everyone has had a lot of assumptions about this whole campaign in general and they usually state their assumptions as fact

    Overall, I'm very happy with the news. Kudos to Hasbro for thinking a bit rationally on this and taking a lot of pressure off us and themselves by simply extending the deadline. One of the main criticisms I've had is the lack of info being given and creating a lot of angst and uncertainty on these boards.

    My credit card is happy because it gets a small break from the barrage (even though I went in on the Thundercats) and now we only need 77 backers a day, till Oct 6th. Clearly, the pledge numbers will now fall drastically to around the 30's for a minute, but I believe we still haven't heard from the etailers?

    I think this would be a good opportunity to add in that rumored stretch goal!

    I'd fairly convinced myself I was getting my deposit back, and was gonna spend it on the Opticlones reissue.

    incoming, 300 more pages of opinions to come :) 

    To be fair, they do realize that they could reach the goal by extending the period, and they are doing it, hope it gets done for those who placed their bet

    Finally someone realized 6 weeks wasn't enough time for Unicron.

    For crying out loud, people are complaining about the damn thing getting an extension? Given how expensive Unicron is, this is a good thing! I was concerned that they wouldn't get 3000 additional people to support Unicron in time, so this gives more people time to save up, especially those who can't attend NYCC.

    Hard to say where Occam's razor would fall. But I'm thinking its 60% no egg on face, vs 40% lets make more money

    You failed to notice it then?
    They created DRAMA!!! That certainly made a lot of people come here to see iit and by extension, Unicron. :p 
    This all played into their hands. They were watching this topic for sure. They probably planned this extension if Unicron did not hit a certain number from the start. But if they started it off with a 2.5-month period people would have complained that it shows Hasbro is afraid it will not get made, trust me. This way, they knew they had nothing to lose from the start - if they get enough backers, they close it in September, if not, October.

    Anyway, just waiting for the Lordpapasmurf guy to come back and explain how it still won't get made because I feel he is one of those types who will never admit he was wrong... :p

    Maybe I'm a sucker but since it's getting extended I can actually back this now. So they got my money.

    "Also note that you can still cancel your order if you no longer want to be part of TRANSFORMERS history."

    Loving the subtle "you snooze, you lose" subtext there. :D
