    Hionestly the only thing the RM version lacks, outside of articulation, is the Brainmaster. Saber is otherwise fully featured, the V-Star does everything it needs to, Victory Leo has all of his functionality. They played with his proportions sure, but he didn't lose anything siginificant at this scale because of it.
    Oh I feel you, I'm not super super jazzed about the sword as is myself, and I am excited to know what the likes of Dr. Wu could bring to the table. The only major thing I can think of would be a smaller sword for Saber himself, maybe an add-on nosecone for Leo's jet mode. I'd love to see the guns the RM versions included as they WERE different, but that's unlikely given it's such a random thing and doesn't further any functionality for either of them. Maybe a thruster piece to cover the toes in VS's jet mode? Make the VL section actually LOOK like a booster pack?

    I'm still debating whether to buy it or not, but the shield weights zero in my decision. From my point of view, it's a really weak tier. The stand is a nice touch, and I'm a little enraged the big rifle is a tier at all. It's Victory Leo's trademark weapon, it should have been included in the main toy.

    So, do we think there's any chance of hitting 20000 with combined orders? We will get the cannon, but I'm trying to see if I need to continue caring about the number of orders now that we are fully funded. :)

    And the beautiful thing is that it will be, as soon as that tier is unlocked.

    I don't think it's impossible. We still have 10 days, and the international/third party retailer orders alone should get us over the 14K bump as things currently stand.

    I genuinely believe, with all internatl. orders, we've hit 17k at least. 20 is gonna be a breeze, especially with Japan's orders

    Yeah, but it's a shame when it doesn't happen. I've backed other campaigns (videogames, basically) that left main characters as tiers, they weren't reached, and it was a huge disappointment. So I have this rejection against leaving main stuff apart.

    But it's really nice to see the V-Lock rifle is virtually done.

    Looking over some of the information I had been told months ago related to this, Victory Leo in full was rumored to be Tier 1 and not originally part of the base offering as he is now.

    I think if that was the case it would’ve not been as successful as it is now. Possibly doa.

    I'm actually expecting folks to object to that bit in a less humorous way....

    Okay, I ordered a second. When I ordered it said 11,999, and now it says 11,999

    I think I was 12,000

    I'm claiming it at least.
