    There are 4 stretch goals for galactus now.
    The fourth went live yesterday.
    Oversized Dr doom head at 22000 backers.
    That goal was reached over night.
    Galactus is now over 23330.
    I wonder If Hasbro would bring in a 5th/24000 goal.
    They'd reach that In the hours remaining.

    A blast effect or something simple would be nice

    Were you talking for Victory Saber, or for Galactus?

    Because a pair of blast effects are already part of VS' first stretch goal, alongside the giant V-Lock Rifle.

    So we’re at day 4, and we’re at 4619 backers. I think this will hit the goal pretty easily once EU and Japan get involved.

    And both of Galactus' heralds have blast stands.

    Galactus. This thread has become about HasLab in general really since so many people keep commenting “Why is a billion dollar company crowd funding a product?! I want this at regular stores even though I won’t buy it!” and then most of us responding with “You are dumb.”

    I was talking about the Galactus mentioned in the posts above mine.


    Though a big Huge blast for the unlockable cannon would be pretty boss.

    I just hope that Star Saber's funded next month and that the Galactus crowdfunding doesn't exhaust people before that

    You point out a significant flaw in how Hasbro is conducting that Galactus campaign: they don’t update the actual campaign page with these new tiers in a timely fashion or at all.

    I wanted to try to tell a friend who is a casual fan about all the new stuff, but didn’t want to track down all the individual websites where the new tiers were revealed. I hope they do a better job of that for future HasLab projects.

    Ebay:
    I backed Unicron and am still feeling the sting of that blue maw.

    Not going to back this one because I don't trust that the promotional images we'll see during the campaign will be representative of the final product.

    Or they, like normal people, just don't care about what the cheap cartoons say about height and make the toys the size that feels best for toys. If the beasts were canonically scaled, they'd all be core class with maybe a Deluxe Primal. But that doesn't feel as fun so they rounded to the nearest comparable height and said "here kids, don't gotta worry about swallowing Cheetor now." They didn't "retcon" how big they are in the cartoon.

    It's alright if the final product is different, it just shouldn't be glaringly worse. This guy is so much smaller and cheaper that I don't think opportunities for major goofups like the blue bot teeth even exist. It's not unthinkable that we won't even see colored versions until after the campaign.

    I will say though that with how tiny the brain of courage is we'll be lucky to get even 3 colors on it. Probably smart to hold back that deco in particular on their part.

    I cancelled my Pulse backing (you can do that by the way) but re POed my local plastic crack dealer for this. Confused?o_O 

    Not really, I get to save biggly now that my local supplier is committed to order this. I am bypassing the automatic canuck tax Hb Pulse is charging me.

    Is it really going to end up cheaper for you though? Whoever you ordered from will be paying tax on their order, and it seems unlikely that they're just going to absorb the cost of the tax and charge you less than they paid?

    You and I have vastly different definitions of "major."
