    Probably not until 2024. Like 5 or 6 years. It took a long time for them to announce this after the Sail Barge shipped. Over a year. Part of that could have been they needed to develop and stand up Hasbro Pulse and move Haslab into it. But it could just be the rate they want to do.

    Next up is probably Marvel Legends, although there is some question as to if Hasbro will lose it after 2020 (Star Wars is up at the same time). They'll probably end up keeping it though. It'll probably be Galactus, a legit 6 inch scale MCU Helicarrier that would be somewhat larger than the Sail Barge (but probably less messive), or a 6 inch scale Sentinel that they recently expressed interest in doing (the one on Amazon is 3.5 inch scaled repainted... it still kind of works)

    After that they'll probably to Star Wars again. The sail barge represents the near upper end of what you could practically make for Star Wars vehicles and be at scale. It's supposed to be 30 meters in length. The Millennium Falcon is supposedly 35 meters in length. However the $250 Legacy Collection "New Millennium Falcon" is shorter than the sail barge (31" vs 49"). Doing a scale Haslab Millennium Falcon would be more expensive than the Sail barge and larger, and would be one of the few products they could justify a likely $600-$700 cost. They never reissued the Legacy Collection mold, as far as I know, and have stuck with releasing cheaper "very much a child's toy" movie gimmick Falcons. The LC Falcon was also something of a shelf warmer at the time.

    I expect to see around this cheaper, legit crowdfunded projects. Cookie Monster analogs. Probably some crazy Nerf gun and something for MLP.

    Transformers won't see another toy on Haslab for a while.

    Thanks for the graph work, graph guy.

    I request an, "IT'S OVER 9,000. IMPOSSIBLE" graph. For the final graph after this sucker closes.

    For those who keep thinking about it, you have 18 minutest left! If your that unsure but have the funds, just do it, if you get it, don't like it, you can always try re-selling it. Just DO IT! ;)  At least you won't regret it if you get it and like it.

    I celebrate seeing Transformers The Movie in the theatre as my first distinct life memory. So that basically means watching Unicron at the beginning is essentially my first life memory. That’s what put me over the edge. This will be cherished for the rest of my days.

    That might be a little dramatic lol but still...

    If I am reading this right as 141.55% progress, then the number is at 11,324 backers! That's insane yet awesome!!!
