    Bad example. SG Jetfire isn't even part of HasLab. But, seeing your username, well, you can wish... Maybe it'll come true. Good luck to all of us. LOL

    8/27/2021. Funny how we are having another Fan First stream on the 16th nearly one year later.

    Are you trying to say a Haslab Nemesis Victory Saber can't look good in black because it's a Haslab, thus a bad example?

    They probably just misread your post and thought you meant "they did black Jetfire so they can do Black Star Saber"

    I feel a Black Victory Saber should be like a random backer as a surprise with how Haslab is, but that is just me

    Not quite what I meant. I mean like for every group of 100, or 1000 even, there is one or two random backers of the original set that get a black and purple as well, think like a lucky drawing if you will

    Is this in addition, or instead of the regular version? Because having chases in such an expensive product is not a good idea.

    That's what I mean, but I agree, a chase like that in the crowdfunded figure is not a good idea

    The only way a chase figure could work in Haslab is through a lottery system and in addition to the regular figure. If you randomly selected 100 people to send Nemesis VS to instead of the regular edition, there's probably going to be about 90 pissed off fans who will want their money back.

    Yeah I would be pretty pissed if I got Nemesis VS instead of, y'know, the one I ordered

    But you could turn around and try to sell it for a stupid amount of money because that's the world we live in now.

    But then I'd have to drop a bunch of money to get the actual Victory Saber that I wanted in the first place

    True but, again as it is these days, you could probably still buy three of the regular version aftermarket for what you sell the chase for.

    Don't misunderstand me, I think a chase piece in a crowdfund is a dumb idea but the silver lining for profiteering is still there.

    I'd go to customer service immediately and complain that I didn't get the figure I backed and they needed to send the actual G1 character (and no, I'm not returning the incorrect one)
