I do think there might be some merit in the idea of a Tier 5 additional chase redeco that exists as a lottery to the backers, as long as it's fair.

 

Chase variants like that, especially in this scenario, could open them up to lawsuits because they would not be delivering the product that was ordered and didn't disclose the possibility of chase variants during purchasing. It would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.

 

I think the chase idea is rightfully awful and has no place in a campaign like and will continue to think so till I have one in my hands. However from a purely legal standpoint, the only way this would make sense to any backer would be for the chase concept to require opting in with the knowledge that if you receive a chase, you do not get an original unless you bought more than 2.

 

Of course. I didn't think we were discussing the idea of a last minute surprise scenario once orders started getting filled. [I have that particular individual who originally proposed the idea on block, I was just reading the messages of those I don't have blocked.]

 

I would not have backed Victory Saber if there was a chance-based aspect that changes the figure in the slightest. Even supplementary stuff; I don’t respect the business model.

 

Why are we even considering the notion of a chase figure in a crowdfunding campaign?

 

Boredom

 

Someone brought up the idea. I'd be against the idea if it were a switch out of the regular product. I wouldn't care if it were plated in solid 24K gold. I'd want the product I ordered.

But make a Tier 5 as a lottery item that comes in addition to the regular product you would receive - as in you'd get normal VS AND the redeco together...yeah, I could see that being an incentive.

 

Exactly.

 

The only way a new VS would happen would be a new mold in mainline down the road. I'm sure after a few years Hasbro is going to want to do a new Victory Saber, especially if they plan on doing more of the Victory cast in mainline.

 

I can easily see them doing a simplified Star Saber in the Earthspark series, without the smaller robot components. A 10-inch $30 version for kids where it takes all of 4-5 steps to transform, essentially.

 

I poked a sleeping bear with some wording... I would do it again

 

Can't wait to get mine

 

I will only pray hard that they will release a Masterpiece Victory Leo since Star Saber is already release in the Masterpiece series.

 

I’d certainly be pissed as hell if I got a “Nemesis” version rather than the one I ordered.

 

i kinda would too actually

 

I would too, I’d keep it in the box and sell it even faster than the normal version. The normal version I debate about opening or not but if I get a Nemesis version I'd 100% keep it in the box and sell it.

 

I think most people would be! That said, if they did the 'in addition' thing instead for whatever reason - well, I for one would be thrilled if I was expecting a G1 Victory Saber and wound up getting a whole extra toy with a slick AF paintjob that I didn't have to pay any additional shipping on  

 

That's my line of thinking. Tier 5 could be a lottery for an additional figure in a chase deco at no extra cost. I think most fans would be on board with something like that.

 

Haha Hasbro would never give something for free. Notice how all the tiers are stuff we should have just got normally?
