    Yes but it's a "nobody from an anime no one watched" and "should just be released at retail" and other fun halftruths. Sure it would be great at a retail price but I highly doubt he'd fair well

    I think Star Saber has so many unique modes; you can’t go wrong owning both to be honest.

    I got MP-52 for $155. Just like $180 for Star saber, got to look for those good deals.

    But yea, Unicron and Raiden, insane. This? I feel we are getting so much more for the price. It’s eye opening

    Beyond that, there've been lots of interjections from people who've clearly never seen crowdfunds in action. After the initial ~6000 rush on the first weekend or whatever it was, when orders crawled to ~10 a day, there was "oh, it'll never get funded at this rate". And then another dump of 2000, and then crawl again "it was only a one-time drop, we're still never going to pass". And then to 11K goal was met and it was "oh, we'll never hit any of the stretch goals".

    Always the naysayers, and people who don't seem to understand that crowdfunding is almost never represented by a linear graph. Huge spikes and long plateaus are expected.

    A project getting within 50% on its first few days of being open is often a fairly good sign of success.

    Especially with the added tiers are a huge bonus for no price increase

    So I was looking him over and between the seemingly offset hinge and the room the furthest edge seems to give, I think Star Saber will have a very wide outward shoulder swing. Maybe not the whole Dominance Asserting T-Pose but a solid 75/80° range at least

    So, question.

    If you back him, does he show up as an order on your account?

    I’m looking forward to the 3rd Party enhancement kits for VS, like maybe a longer sword.

    Takara said I'm going to give Japan 10 days to back this project!! My guess is, they come in at 10k strong and blow this thing out of the water with their supporters of Victory Saber!! Only time will tell!!

    This is also my biggest concern. Especially since there haven’t been any pictures that show it going particularly far out.

    Well, since that's the case, I wonder if it's possible to back him and then have Hasbro charge my card on Tuesday after I get paid.

    You will get charged after the campaign ends.
