The price was slightly better than expected. Some people online were predicting $600-800 BEFORE shipping costs. I'm annoyed that there's only a 4-week window though, and of course Mattel takes no consideration in having this end just weeks before people have to focus on Christmas shopping expenses (like Hasbro did with THREE Haslabs last Fall). It would have been preferrable if Mattel had waited to offer this early next Spring and set a 6-week window instead of 4 weeks to give people more time to save up the money and a better chance for this to succeed. If the estimated ship date isn't until 2024, then why rush such a narrow window for the kickstarter?

I wonder if there will be any tier upgrades like we get with Haslab. Probably not though. I don't think Mattel did that with past kickstarters back during the Mattycollector days.

Also yeah the timing of this probably isn't helping the Haslab Ghost Rider set. Even after the additional tier reveals, it is STILL losing backers. I think it's pretty much doomed to fail at this point.
