Soooo Mattel recently setup a new survey asking about the Snake Lair:

Overall, how excited are you about this Snake Lair Crowdfund?
If the set were priced at $300 USD, excluding shipping and handling, would you back this project based on what you know today?
Which feature(s) of the set are you most excited about?
Which feature(s) are you least excited about?

Seems like the online backlash made it's way back to Mattel. It's good on their end to reach out and what was shown at SDCC was only 3D Printed, not tooled. I guessed correctly about the price, as with Shipping it would be $350-$400. That doesn't even guarantee all Unlocks, equaling less value for your money. This crowdfund was supposed to start around two weeks after SDCC, I wonder if this changes anything? This feels similar to the last two Marvel Legends HasLabs on a speedrun.

The $550 Eternia ended with 9,291 total backers and needed at least $2.75 Million to go into production. At $300 this would need 9,166 backers just to hit that, never mind any Unlocks. I don't think they'd produce a MOTU Origins crowdfund under $2 Million, equaling 6,666 units to fund. This makes Unlocks using Eternia as a baseline around 10,500 and 13,000. How many Backers would this reach at $300?
