    #1. they really should have announced this like, last friday. I bet it'd have goosed the numbers.

    #2. Woke up kicking myself for not ordering 2.

    #3. I give Hasbro a lot of (well-deserved IMHO) grief, but good on them for this little olive branch of love.

    Don't be silly. Toys are serious business. Everyone needs 3 of each toy. 1 for bot mode display, 1 for alt mode display and 1 sealed for future investment. o_O

    So now my idea of selling my extra copy of VS and Murderchicken together in a year for a hefty sum, just became a reality. Can't have 1 without the other now! :D

    It's more that these being detached from the project itself means they're not exclusive unless Hasbro explicitly says as much.

    Nobody was promised these as part of a successful campaign so anything that happens to them beyond this point is entirely fair game.

    Step 1: Add secret figures after every Haslab ends
    Step 2: People FOMO into more campaigns
    Step 3: Remove the ability to cancel a Haslab order
    Step 4: Profit

    And 7 Quickswitch. Otherwise, you're just a poser.

    I mean, the included Micros were what ultimately pushed me over the edge on VS last year....

    It's weird that two autobots come with the leader of the Decepticons, but it's a great surprise and confirms that no more Victory characters in a while

    Shit so I'm gonna have to back a HasLab Primus on the off chance that they'll make a full sizer Rung, or something.

    Liokaiser works as a Haslab. Difficult-to-market name (no American store is gonna stock a children's toy with KAISER in its name), difficult-to-market team composition (4 deluxes, 4 waves, plus a big man for Black Friday/Xmas works at retail, 6 deluxes or 6 voyagers is harder, not to mention they'd each need to include a micromaster, which shoots the partscount up)

    Yeah, I can see it.

    I mean it's either that or God Ginrai next year.

    I.... I am stunned that they added a tier AFTER funding closed! Lol. But I can't complain! Ok, sure! And these are new molds right? Not just half assed repaints like the VS micros were?

    And WOW @ 'most successful TF Haslab ever! Last night when I looked (and after it closed) it was sitting at just over 1,000 units behind VS. Now it's just over 1,000 MORE!

    Not disappointed that I missed Deathsaurus, but I wish I could get the two micromasters

    edit: I preordered the set at TFsource. Who knows, I may change my mind on the set and decide I need it
