Yeah, I am guessing the initial drop was a computer glitch, but the addition of the 1500 backers might have been the international backers getting added in.

Instead of adding on the 1500, they probably simply entered 1500, realised what they'd done, then added the 1500 to the other figure and brought it back to 4677.
I'd be willing to bet (come on, someone take the bet with me, and you'd better **** pay up this time and not disappear from the website like the last person did when they lost to me) that the 1500 doesn't include Australia's EB Games/Zing and Japan's TT Mall figures.

Yep, Hasbro said so on Instagram (or Facebook ... one or the other)

Did they define what they mean by "affiliates"? I took that word to mean TakaraTomy Mall, not the US retailers. But I could be mistaken.
As long as it doesn't include EVERYTHING (like EB Games, which you said hadn't submitted numbers yet).

Nope. I think most people are just assuming "affiliates" is online retailers like BBTS.
EB Games/Zing have said they weren't submitting their numbers until the last day, but that could have changed.
All we know is that 1500 came from outside of Hasbro Pulse.

If I have to be critical about a single aspect of the Unicron campaign, it is clarity and communication around who counts and how. They were unclear from the start about which countries would be included and through what channels (shouldn't that have been determined in the pre-announcement planning so they could execute a unified rollout?), and whether the one channel we knew about relatively early, TT Mall, would count towards the 8000. Now there's this utter lack of clarity about affiliates.
Goddammit.

If only the news crew had access to a Hasbro rep that they could ask directly so they could state once and for all what has and hasn't been included.
Goddammit.

John Warden already confirmed that there will be no electronics in this figure due to all of the money having gone to the molded details and articulation.GrangerPerry wrote:It’s way too late for this but I really feel he should be a tad bit oranger maybe just a tiny little bit am I alone? Second his eyes are clear and the Titans have light up features they did say there was more surprises so pretty please thanks! Finally I’m sorry but I need to see him standing on his own two feet I know the official joints and materials may not all be there but that’s important to me also can he take a knee or how far can he bend his joints? Over 90 degrees are there double joints do his abs crunch? Where are all 50 points of articulation??
