It all just seems wrong. I feel bad for the people that wanted this. Especially those that missed out on the early bird. Now if this thing gets funded and they did decide to stick with it, now risking not hitting other tiers, they'll have overpaid for a vehicle that has a regular car mode, and not the regular figure to go with it.

Someone always has to pay. Kickstarters can get into serious trouble when they start promising tiers that eat up the profits they made. Including just adding more time to produce.

You always factor in the cost of producing tiers.

When they go past the initial amount needed, they enter another level of production where costs go down. If the same mold could have produce 30,000 units. If you sell 10,000 units that's one cost. Sell 20,000 then your costs have went down per unit.

Early Bird, they have to take a hit on profits but they make up for it is now knowing definitively production is a go. They can start making moves 40 or so days earlier than before.

Basically a long way of saying, nothing is free. You are still paying for the tiers, just you don't notice.

Haslabs, you should assume the base offering is all your getting. Or whatever Tier has been unlocked.

Now if the regular car mode is useless without Robbie(cause can't use any other figure I guess, it's a regular car. Put Wolverine or Bucky in it.) then back out now. Otherwise, what was promised was the base offering. Mephisto isn't promised until that tier is unlocked. You got 36 more days to decide(assuming there is even a choice).
