This Unicron now has a name for its own size class: Planet Class.

I believe it too. After such an emotional roller coaster this victory is going to feel so good. I’ve waited for this figure since ‘86, and I never anticipated it would ever be this screen accurate. Hell, this is fate. After this much of an investment in man hours, design, and a launch that included as much fanfare as it was rocky, Unicron is too big (no pun intended) to fail. I can’t imagine Hasbro having this many backers, this close to their goal and not making this happen. I don’t want to be petty but after all of the hate, vitriol and threats from “fans” to go support 3P knock off Unis in hopes that Haslab’s official offering would fail I can’t wait to see him go into production.

Going off the rumor mills (yes, I know, all non verified, but still reliable), this was always going to make it. Hasbro put too much money into it, and would have kept extending the deadline if it failed to reach high enough for number fudging.

I've always felt that 7000 was the real minimum, and as long as they got that many, they would make things work somehow. Sure, they would be settling for less profit that they originally planned, but at least they wouldn't have wasted the time and money spent on development.

Is it just me, or is that a lot darker now? Maybe it's just he lights?
Anyway, as I write this we're nearly at 7,200. Japanese pre-orders ended yesterday and other shops should be placing their final orders soon so I wouldn't be surprised if it well exceeds 8,000. I think Hasbro is just enjoying the free PR drama.
I don't think Unicron was ever "too big to fail" for them. Ultimately they're a business and if it costs too much to produce Unicron they just won't do it. They probably have a lot of prototypes we've never even heard of, never mind the ones we have.
I think it'll make it. I certainly hope they fudge the numbers if it's just under 8,000. But I don't think this was ever a sure thing.

Rate is staying about the same. I expect that the final day push hits the mark.
Because I'm an engineer (and a nerd), I'd love to see this graphically. A slow steady rise, then a plateau, and then at the end it either rises because not enough bought in, or falls because they are going to make it.

I will be shockwd bow if it doesnt make it, I don't think the KaPow totals have added in yet. I know I will regret not getting one, I just wish I could ha e pulled the funds together, alas being fiscally responsible with a tight budget...

Man, I want this thing so bad, but now that I’m buying a house I need to save for a down payment, and this guy is going to cost almost as much as my monthly mortgage payment. That’s **** insane.

Man, so I've been in a fiscally tight situation as well, and I ended up having to cancel my HasLab order. But this thing (if getting made) is a MUST HAVE for me... so I ended up going with BBTS. I mean, it really really sucks that I'm essentially paying an extra $200 more than I would have normally, but this figure is too worth it to miss out. It really helps that they don't make you pay everything upfront, as well as supposedly still letting you do $4 flat rate shipping. I still don't fulling understand how TFSource does theirs, but I'm believe the shipping on Unicron will be completely free due to its price. I just think that because of how once in a lifetime this figure is, if you can and really want to, you should. I mean, over a full year is a good amount of time to save up, it's practically just $50 a month less on normal Transformer spending (or other stuff of course.)
Impossible Haslabicron dont happen. Too bad I have no choice to miss out, but man, I REALLY want him to succeed. Because he may open the door to even crazier projects and I want to see them happen too.
Come see my latest creations, SHATTERED GLASS G1 METROPLEX, HERE!
Dumb question to ask maybe but will this Unicron (if he succeeds) be available for purchase after the crowdfunding or is this a get it or miss it type deal?

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Get it now, or pay double from a reseller later.

I feel beyond stupid for spending money on this considering it's expensive as hell and I live in a small condo and have no way of displaying it, but I know I'll regret it if I don't get it considering I've been waiting forever for them to do a new planet Unicron sculpt. My biggest worry though is that I'll be at the mercy of USPS, and they're garbage around here.

From what I understand, you don't back it, you don't get it. Like if you don't invest you don't get the dividends.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for: - TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him ) - PotP Punch head - TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one) - CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad - TR Twinferno & Grotusque - Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)
33 hours to go and at 7780 backers. This is gonna be close, unless KaPow is holding all theirs back for the last day.
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.
