They are going to have to scramble and throw Firelord in, or face an embarrassing failure to even hit one stretch goal. I know there are a lot of fans/apologists for "The Big Three" (I really hope they didn't crown themselves with that name....ohhh, the hubris), but this was botched pretty badly. It wouldn't have killed them to make the first tier a 2 herald unlock considering the number of choices. Additionally, the insertion of a Surfer retread was a straight dummy move reeking of both greed and laziness. And I don't want to hear about the costly construction of bucks/molds as this is an earmarked project and any additional costs pale in comparison to whatever the price tag is/was for tooling Galactus. How any well-heeled toy project-manager who presumably follows toy-media doesn't have even a cursory understanding that Nova and Firelord are atop almost everyone's list is simply beyond me.

....and this from someone that really, really, really wants this to happen. Someone that has already signed on for 2 and is still willing to potentially pick up more, IF they come correct.

Meh. As it stands, I'll still get a mighty impressive toy out of it all, but it appears I'll still be waiting to scratch those herald itches.

EDIT To Hasbro...show me Firelord and I will get another. Extend that tease list to Redshift, Morg, Stardust, etc and I'll follow up accordingly.
