First problem…..Patrick blew the surprise of the Rancor. Now I’m not knocking him….I have know idea how these guys keep everything straight…and I’d mess up immediately. That said it did take the wind out of the sails.

Second problem….rumors had this coming in at $300. They got greedy.

Third issue…..to many Haslabs at once. Ghostbusters, GI Joe and this. There’s lots of crossover collectors and we are feeling drained. Add on the fact Galactus just ended, massive convention exclusives the fact many were unhappy with the knee issue on the sentinel haslab and super7 threw their hat in the ring with the TMNT classics van. Lots of collectors blew the Covid relief money on items early in the year. No more checks.

Forth …..the ridiculous stretch goals. They over estimate the fondness of vintage cards with black series collectors. Vintage scale collectors eat it up. Black series collectors are more of a younger crowd….most diehards I know grew up during the clone wars cartoons.

If the Rancor Keeper had been goal 3 the haslab would have jumped several thousand today. If Oola was revealed for a forth we would be talking about how fast this funded today. Instead it is dropping by 100 and growing…..as in people are cancelling big time.

I honestly feel bad for the Star Wars team. I’m sure they have a budget and bosses wanting more profit. I don’t wish ill on anyone. But the team does not have the pulse of collectors this time.

I have spoken.
