    Oh yeah, I see it now. it's buried in the fine print. Forget what I said.
    I still haven't had any trouble with them but that does suck.

    Probably should have read the info page on the crowdfund or watched the video on the crowdfund or been reading the 1000+ pages of this forum.

    No they were pass 8000 then it change to 8000+ so then you could not see the numbers either change up or down! Strange

    They will do the same they did for the sail barge where they make extras in case of broken parts and such.

    Well now I'm confused. That sounds like they only mean it can't be shipped outside the U.S. for free.
    Since it does still say on the order page "free shipping" does that mean US orders still ship free?
    Or am I missing something again?

    From the HasLab page:

    I mean, sucks if you missed out due to a "technicality". But it pays to read, rather than just assume. Plus you've had 2 months to ask questions, rather than wait until the very last minute.

    He seeks attention in a desperate need to be right about some massive HasLab/Hasbro conspiracy to raise retail prices across the board. Because, despite them doing that anyway long before Unicron was a crowdfund, this particular activity is the retroactive justification for years of incremental price increases.

    I think maybe some people took those 80s cartoon plots to heart.

    Now, as for a better reason why it now says "8000+" instead of giving an actual number. Secondary retail orders are going in. It's just easier if Pulse doesn't have to deal with the counter right now.

    I have no doubt we'll get a final number tomorrow.

    Congrats to those who backed this project. Too much at once for by budget though.

    The numbers did show just under 8400 at one point which went back down to 8350 last night before I went to bed. It was set to the 8000+ by the time I woke up this morning.

    What did I say? People need to read and understand what they have read.

    I don't feel bad for self inflicted ignorance.

    I'm confused now too. It does seem to sound like it doesn't ship outside of the US for free. But it could ship free in the US? Do they normally ship free outside the US?

    Nice! I’m curious what the final number will be. We may never know but it would cool if Hasbro shared it with us.

    When the time runs out it should revert to the number. Cookie Monster had about 300 backers I think but it dropped to 63. Then Haslab nuked the page.

    Well, one good thing about this [along with the figure being funded] there's a good chance another TF related figure won't happen for a while. Should mean I won't have to keep up with HasLab efforts again any time soon.

    Yes, the numbers dropped from 3380+ at -22 hrs to 3330+ at -20 hrs, then increased to 8550+ at -14 hrs, then decreased to 8520+ at -13 hrs, then decreased some more to 8510+ at -12 hours.
    After that the counter changed and I don't have the exact count, but I hope it gets to 10000 when the fat lady sings.
