    Augh would've been nice to have that option. I just ripped off the bandaid and paid directly to Hasbro. Now my wallet's bleeding.

    Regardless, that Arcee remains one of the pieces I wish I owned. But even just a few years after they made her she was already too rich for me. I did snag the Tigatron from that year, though.

    Currently saying 283% funded. That's just over 22.5k total. If this was the total etailers orders, i.e. some 10k+, then the extension was a farce. There's no way the BBTS et al. orders would more than double because of the extension. This means they had 5k already in the bank but off the ticker. Plus the 5k on Pulse.

    If the 283% is legit, and not some shitty maths, then I reckon this genuinely funded worldwide first-time. The extension mainly allowed the US market to double.

    Hey, they can do what they want, but it seems clear that the 8k was exceeded probably on 29th August when they extended (so no etailers orders went on). That's a bit shifty, but it's business.

    I really don't know what he's angling at.

    A while ago when he first came into this thread, he was acting all innocent and asking questions like "what is the appeal of this character?" and such, as if he was actually curious but ill informed. Fair enough. But then after that, I noted that he was frequenting the ZetaToys thread and enthusiastically cheerleading for them, all the while coming back here and continuing his dumb/innocent act.

    I just mentally ignored him from that point onwards, because there's no dealing with that kind of crazy.

    Well maybe the extension happened to give the retailers more time. Whatever, it worked out great for everyone,

    I'm thinking its more they had the page coded to artificially add pledges in a way that would appear "organic", just they forgot to code it to stop after it went so much over the "funded amount" so it went crazy near the end of the campaign. I really doubt they even got the 8000 they wanted.

    Luckily, this was one of those situations where if it failed Hasbro would wind up with their foot in their mouth and it would make the brand look stale and irrelevant, so they were forced to fudge the numbers for publicity sake. So, pretty much a win/win in my book. People that preordered one will get it and Hasbro now knows the collector market does have it's limits and isn't the endless money pit they thought we were. Hopefully it is enough to curb their ambitions of $25+ deluxes by the end of 2020. lol
