    Approximately 20-25 years ago I sold my G1 collection amassed during childhood and supplemented through flea market finds. More than 3 years ago I was in awe of Haslabs Unicron, and although not having purchased a figure in 20ish years, it is the type of reckless purchase that is right up my alley. Ultimately, I avoided temptation. Looking back, the thing I couldn't rationalize had nothing to do with money, or waiting a year. I believed subsidizing or "kickstarting" a project for a multibillion dollar corporation was a bridge too far. I played Magic the Gathering off and on for years, and Hasbro had enough of my money.

    A month ago I purchased several discounted figures on a whim and it opened the floodgates. I've probably spent close to 2k, don't really want to look. That's a long way of saying that I've reevaluated my positions and if this is the only way to get a Deathsaurus figure, then so be it. I'm in with all the other degenerates (I mean that as a positive). You got me.

    22 774… almost makes you wish there was a third tier lol. This guys great and I’m happy that there’s about 22k that agree with me. I wonder if he’ll get around 4-5k in the next half day to match VS.

    Y'all.

    I'm hoping the TF/HasLab teams are empowered to take a bit of risk with their next project. They've earned it.

    Surely, that's the only incentive that will make anyone back this.

    Seriously though, no surprise this got all the tiers. At first I wasn't wowed by the throne but over the weeks seeing it in color and all the storage it has really makes it look awesome. Such a cool addition.

    It won’t be the remainder of the day but what happens afterwards. If you recall VS had several thousand additional orders added after the final bell. I can go look up the exact number but it was at least 3k as Hasbro brought in the international affiliates.

    What got the numbers flowing is the paint quality. I hope these ppl understand what a quality product signifies.

    Oh yeah, I was a first day backer because even the base figure was great, I was just saying the throne grew on me a lot.

    I guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

    VS was run differently in that almost *all* the international backers came at the end.
