I could have sworn that Liokaiser had 34k orders, seen it I thought and others here posted it. Now it only has 23k. Am I missing something?

The count dropped a day or two after. Seems someone on Hasbro's end made a goof.

Maybe they double counted the international orders at the end by mistake.

In that case:
34,329 - 23,553 = 10,776 (International)
Thus, 23,553 - 10,776 = 12,777 (Domestic)

Thanks guys. That sounds plausible to me. I was guessing it would be around 20k.

Got charged for the set, and honestly, I felt more annoyed at the cost coming in than excitement that it was happening.

Hope they make some more improvements and the set looks better in hand, I need this set to excite me more.

Also, hoping the recent tariffs in the US do not suddenly cause some issues. already seeing active kickstarters getting cancelled, would hate if they need to do some adjustment to this set for production.

I'm not religious but it was just announced Pope Lio* XIV is the next top dog. I'm taking that as a good omen, free from QC issues that plagued past Haslabs.

(media outlets have been incorrectly spelling it Leo)

I think quoting oneself is bad etiquette or something and if so, sorry. It is relevant though, as now I see the count is at 12k. Below the unlocked tiers even. Did half the orders get cancelled? I would hope, if so, they wouldn't cancel the unlocks, can't imagine they would be that cold.

More importantly thanks for the update. The painted sample looks great, I am super excited for this. I went through a bit of regret for a short period as it's a big chunk out of my nut, but it was long enough ago that the money isn't missed now. Plus the figures are looking awesome. I hope some of the hollowness is filled in though and we get good neck/head articulation( a boy can dream). I don't mind a notch cut out in the back of the head for it. That is very needed for good posing.

That is weird, I wonder if they accidentally removed the international orders from the page?

Is it so hard to add up the backers count, Hasbro?
