The main thing I'm thinking of is the fact that we haven't got international orders or orders from other carriers, and yet Star Saber is almost 50% fulfilled with just the countries where he's extremely obscure. I assume we'll get a huge boom once Japanese orders come in.Sentinel_Primal wrote:Autobot N wrote:So we're at 4723 in 3 days from just US and UK orders.

I can kinda see how it could fail, but honestly I'm starting to feel confident in it's chances of at least getting funded, if not unlocking all the tiers.

We are currently shipping to all U.S. States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, APO/FPO addresses and Canada. Please note we cannot ship to a P.O. Box or any other country at this time.

We deliver to most addresses in the United Kingdom. Please note we cannot deliver to a P.O. Box or any other country at this time.
Just curious, I noticed a while back, Pulse was not allowing shipping on some items to Quebec. Is that still an issue? I hope not.

I'm guessing so, but will depend on the item and whether they have the product information in French or not. Kanrabat might be the best resource there as I believe he is in Quebec. I know he mentioned being able to back Victory Saber, so it doesn't looks like an issue here, but I seem to recall the Centurion Drone set was one of those without French and couldn't be shipped to Quebec.

In MTMTE he was a Phase Sixer that beat up Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus at the same time. Killed hundreds of Autobots that day.
What issue? Optimus Prime is not even in MTMTE since MTMTE happens after "the death of Optimus Prime".
Sounds like Black Shadow was only a mentioned in flashback then, and never part of the main story.
Anyways, Hasbro said there would be more partner sites for Victory Sabre coming out this week. Have any of you seen them? I'd like to write an article linking to all the different campaigns so that anyone in the world can know where to get one, all in one article.
Also, while I do think we'll get that first Tier, that canon is definitely key to the toy. Would be a huge shame for it not to be made. I would have rather it just be included and not have tiers, but I guess tiers are part of the deal with crowd funded things.

IDW Optimus Prime didnt actually die in "Death of Optimus Prime".

Like I said, I'm fairly confident Victory Saber should be coming, but I can also see where it might fail in other countries

But I will not miss out on this Victory Saber Set.

The original toy had a base mode, but it was just a flying chariot and super mode in the show.

DW Optimus Prime didnt actually die in "Death of Optimus Prime". He just started going by Orion Pax again and went into semi-exile. He was in MTMtE in flashbacks and current time.
When did I say he did?

It sure seemed to me u were eluding to that here(also bold above); "Optimus Prime is not even in MTMTE since MTMTE happens after "the death of Optimus Prime"."
However, I never said u did say he died. Just in case u or someone reading it took what u said the same as I did, I thought I would clear it up. What did u mean then if not Optimus had died and that was why he wasnt in MTMtE?
