    Much as I hate to admit it, I worry he may not be wrong, though. This campaign has barely jumped up 100 backers in the 3 weeks since it was extended. The inclusion of Kapow Toys preorders to the 8,000 goal makes me optimistic, but until we see any indication of the numbers they're pulling, I think our best hope at this point may be for Hasbro to push the deadline back further. While this will likely result in another wave of preorders slowly dropping off again, hopefully it'll help bring it closer to a reality by encouraging Hasbro to include more markets and worldwide orders into the 8,000 goal.

    he or she is probably not backing it, which is with the scale comment... based on his or her other posts, he or she probably isn't backing it.
    my view - i don't care. my point about unicron toweing over fort max was, as it happens often here, taken too literally. unicron is bigger - as unicron SHOULD be - done. and when it comes to those not backing it sticking around this thread, well, we all know how that turns out with the commentary, the fighting, etc.
    it's just pathetic when stuff like that happens.
    and as i and others frequently mention, there are numbers we don't know about. let"s wait till it's done and see what happens.

    It was extended on the 27th... gained a few hundred backers...... but if you are talking about since the 31st then yeah.. only 100 that we know of. We dont know the numbers of the other etailers.

    the extension was for people that needed more time.......... and those people .. they'll be signing up over the next 2 weeks when they've had some more paydays to save up. and like always with crowdfunds... you'll see people get extra's and get others to sign up towards the end to try and make it get funded....

    that's exactly it. why do they keep having to hang around here? it's weird. there are alot of things i want nothing to do with when it comes to the universe of transformers but i don't go hanging around those threads being a troll.
    makes no sense.

    I for one, always echo G1 Razorclaw's motto when this comes up:
    [​IMG]

    I was OK with funding this toy and waiting until 2021 to get it. I am then no less OK with waiting more months for the crowdfunding to end so I can be SURE it happens.
    I rather wait a few more months until 8000 comes together than lose this chance of a lifetime forever.

    In what way is crowdfunding for the European release of Unicron good news?
    First of all they picked the UK. And second what EU site wasn't helping with the crowfunding?

    throw 'em on the ignore list. helps - less scrowling and reading through immature smart-ass crap and more focus on a mature and respectful discussion.

    you know folks, no one knows what another person's life looks like. a figure, any figure, could mean a heck of a lot to someone for a variety of reasons. think about the person with 6 months to live in the hospital with one last wish...be it meeting a baseball player, getting that baseball card or getting that figure. whatever the case, again, we don't know anything about anyone on here. keep that in mind when you choose to post a smart ass remark to someone who is excited for this thing to happen.
    the smart ass crap is ridiculous. move on, or better yet, get a life.
    all in all, the point is, those that don't want anything to do with this figure have a right to not want it, but why bother with those that do? what do you get out of it and why aren't those comments being removed for a better place to discuss this thing?

    So looking at the official numbers right now is rough. It has taken about 3 days to add about 50 backers. Ironically that is a good thing because for nearly 14 days there was approximately a net of zero contributors. However when you look back at the campaign as a whole, even during its August slow period it was averaging about 50 a day. I'm starting to get the feeling that 6k is about the maximum number of US backers that can be expected for this project. We have a little over 2 weeks left and it will be interesting to see where this goes.
    Tomorrow I'll be posting an updated chart to mark the 2 week notice, but as before it looks like there will have to be a massive infusion of overseas orders to get this thing made.

    Very discouraging. I’m of the belief that there are 1000 last minute backers. I’m hoping there are 1000 etailers.

    So I’d like to see this thing get to 6000 before the end of NYCC so the last two days gets about a 1000.

    You are aware the price includes about 100 pounds worth of British Value-Added Tax?

    This morning, a reviewer Bobby Skullface revealed that the 1500 bump in orders wasn't organic i.e. Hasbro was pressuring retailers to jump in on this.

    Don't worry, Hasbro will turn the screws and break some skulls if necessary to get this produced. As a programmer I would suggest Hasbro use the following SQL at the last minute: update final_orders set amount = 8000 + final_barge_numbers - 5000 where product_name = 'Unicron';

    Guaranteed win!!!!
