    The front page news article should be updated to reflect that the project has passed 9000 backers. Currently it still says the project has only passed 5000 backers.

    They might try to recycle Victory Leo's thigh swivel as ankle joints, depending on how he tabs on himself in boot mode, but until proven otherwise I'm going to assume Victory Saber will simply use Star Saber's ankle joints.

    This has been the front page for the last few days, I don't know how that it can be even more "in your face" that VS has passed 9000 than this.

    Wait, what hinges? The ones that make up Victory Leo's thighs?

    We got the colored renders, yeah? Maybe Takara is waiting to have the colored prototypes to take pictures of for Figure King. How often does a new issue of Figure King come out? Like, towards the end of the month?

    I mean the message that says pre-orders are available in Taiwan. Literally right under the "Over 9000" banner in the very snapshot you took.

    Taiwan? Okay, that's cool but I'm beginning to worry Japan's going to be glossed over entirely at this rate

    That's entirely up to Takara, if they want to release it then I'm sure they know what they're doing.

    Exactly, we don’t need to worry as if Takara doesn’t know what they’re doing lol. It’s up to them

    May I throw something out?

    Hasbro and Takara work hand in hand on Transformers. So if Saber is backed before they open POs, does it matter from a broader perspective?

    If the window closed, it'd matter to 3Ps. But Takara could open a PO window and then submit that number to Hasbro at a time they agreed. They've got a direct line.

    As to why they may prefer that approach: Maybe Takara and Hasbro already have enough info to confirm its success, so once the window closes Takara will put up POs with everything they can now confirm. Maybe they don't like the "stretch" ideas, for whatever reason.

    It's all hypothetical of course. They could open POs Monday for all we know.

    I was thinking that also, about whether it really matters or not. You bring up an interesting hypothetical. It’s almost at goal now. Either way it don’t think it’s worth anyone worrying about cause I do believe it will be situated one way or another

    I still think Takara might be waiting for that coloured prototype to be finished before putting up the pre-orders.

    Again, yes it does. I want to hit as many tiers as possible. If Takara isn’t a part of this campaign, we won’t hit as many.
