I think the thing about crowdfunding is it's also just more fun. You get the excitement of seeing it funded, then the excitement of seeing what kind of extras can get unlocked as the orders keep rolling in.
Also it's sitting currently at 10,012, so enjoy those missile launchers. |

I just received a charge notification for the Fortnite Snake Eyes from Pulse. It appears that I will be receiving quite a few Classified figures shortly.

THAT! That's the reason why I think a lot of these highly sought after items that may not have mass appeals, troop builders, etc., should have an opened ended ordering period. So everyone could get their orders in and no one scalper could buy them all and then sell them for a mark-up!

Some projects you just want to support the creator. Basically charity. But it would be ridiculous for Hasbro to do that. Quote:

Of course there are some products that could probably sell well year to year but eventually it's going to have diminishing returns. Space is limited and mold don't last forever. Really it's been a distribution problem. Take NECA TMNT movie line. It's a Walmart exclusive that most people could not buy in stores/online. GI Joe has that the Target Exclusive problem during a Pandemic. |

"Okay, you guys know that mold we had you store in that place 3 years ago? We need you to take it out and use it on one item. Yes, you heard me right, only make one."

The last upgrade reveal was pretty much shite. Not that I'm complaining. I backed it just in case they include a "must have" figure. So, if they keep at it, I can cancel with no regrets.

However... yeah. I really hope there's at least one more figure unlock. A proper Cobra Commander (however unlikely) would be amazing. |

But isn't the tank the reason you should be backing it? Not just in case it has a figure you want? The figure should be a bonus feature like on a Blu-Ray. You buy the movie for the movie, anything extra is just that, extra.

In a perfect world, yes. But, a perfect world this is not.

I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment if you buy an orange and are surprised you didn't get a steak
But we'll see with Tier 3. I'm expecting parts to support the H.I.S.S. Not just some exclusive figures. We already got two. There are going to be very limited options from Hasbro to get follow up attachments barring smaller individual figures. What I really want to see is the electronics in action. All those lights don't matter if in a poorly lit display, it's barely illuminating. |

My fear was that they would release a major character with the tank, as incentive to buy it. I'm not too concerned with HISS-centric characters. If I don't get the tank, I don't need the driver, anyway.

Pulse just sent me a shipping notice for Cobra Officer. Yay! Hopefully Spirit and Storm Shadow won't be too much longer.
As for the H.I.S.S., Lenny mentioned the cannons will have blast effect ports. Not sure why he'd make a point to call that out unless blast effects are another unlock. |
