    So, the shield's been confirmed I see. However, didn't Hasbro say there were 4 stretch goals? With the shield basically confirmed, the only viable option I can think of for an additional stretch goal is Holi and Clipper

    To be fair, what else would it be? The personal website of a 19th century cavalryman?

    Jan minifig, his vehicle as a mini fig, I'd like to see the guns the Robot Masters release came with since those were different designs

    Holi and Clipper have Micromaster molds already available to work with for this, but a Jan minifigure would tiny

    Tier 4 is Brian Goldner personally coming to your house to punch one in the nuts while screaming "Leeeet's goooo!" while he runs off with your Victory Saber.

    You know, after the memes today; learning that Star Saber is actually just a partial retool of either CW Sky-lynx, CW Silverbolt, ER Sky-lynx, or somehow all three; and hearing that Transformers just are not toys anymore, I'm exhausted. I think I'll just leave this here to speak for itself.

    Oh yeah and the backer count is something important at 9007 right now.

    Just because you're ashamed about collecting toys, it doesn't mean we have to be. It merely suggests you're massively insecure about your hobbies, as if for some bizarre reason, you care what people think about what you like.

    Try not doing, you'll be much, much happier.

    On topic... now those are some epic platform soles. Even if he's not for me, I hope he makes it past the top tier, so JG1 fans get the full beans. :) 

    Dammit, I was sure he was a Dead End retool!

    Looks really nice. Still on the fence about this. It won\'t be a big deal if I miss this. Makes you wonder if we get those \"last minute\" numbers like Unicron did, to get all the tiers?

    that looks pretty fantastic with the shield cleaning up the alt mode... does make me wish they had a 5mm peg in there so you could mount the big V-lock cannon centered...

    That's not a promoted result, so no they didn't pay for it. It is most definitely the hottest Victory Saber related page right now, plus I'm sure they did all the proper SEO work on the page.

    No idea if anyone from Hasbro Pulse is reading this, but my god Pulse emails always look like spam
    The one for these colour pics of Star Saber was titled "cool images of me inside [​IMG]"

    Super unprofessional-looking, nearly labelled as spam

    Anyone else logged into the main page and thought Vegeta being on the Victory Saber update headline meant we were going to have a Dragonball X Transformers collab toy?

    It's still possible. Evan had mentioned they were working on setting up the sword so it could be both animation and toy accurate.

    So they could still work that out as well.

    It looks awesome in colour and now the shield is confirmed, I'm pretty excited for it! Hopefully the backers start picking up.

    Obviously it wouldn't be super accurate, but it would be cool to see the Deco.

    I didn't know what to think, it's such a random marketing gimmick
    I still have no idea why Christopher Sabat is their celebrity of choice. There's not a single Transformers show on his IMDB page.

    Shield, stand, and gun should be included in base price. I'm skipping this, but happy for those who are getting it. Those strech goals are more like fantasy goals. Good luck my dudes.
