After Sabrblade said that his order disappeared from his stack and he had to reorder, i've checked everyday to make sure he stays there, and he has.

Stoked that this is coming true. It's gonna be a great 26th birthday for me!

Same, although it'll be 29 for me. Anyone know where I can find some Titan Class Party Hats?

I don't trust them so went with Big Bad instead.

I could have sworn that a month or so ago when I ordered this guy there was a limit of 2 per transaction. Now it's at 5. I wonder if that helped.

Always was 5.

Too expensive. I will settle with the Unicron i have now, the anniversary one Takara released.

Hopefully we'll all still be in here talking the newest Transformers

. In 20 years, I can only imagine what they'd be like

How does somebody disingenuously back a crowdfund that didn't have a set production number? I wish I could shake the hand of anyone that bought more than one to sell later, they really helped the rest of us make this work. It's no different than what TFSource or BBTS or any other non-Hasbro backed seller did with high markups upfront. Heck, I'm sure there'll be several people that really do want Unicron right now, but in a year and a half will have lost interest or could use some quick money and stick theirs on eBay. Maybe I'll be one of them, I can't see the future.

And you can't scalp something that everyone has an equal opportunity to buy the same number of. It isn't scalping if you aren't taking away someone else's chance to buy something at the same price you did. They may be opportunists, but they aren't scalpers. There will definitely be fans in 2021 that will be happy that there are a few available on eBay.

And of course Hasbro is setting aside a pile of these for themselves, they need a stockpile set aside for exchanges and part replacements.

As far as Pulse resetting the counter to 8,000+ goes I'm sure it's so they can surprise everyone with some large number Monday. I don't care what that number is anymore.

Welp, since Unicron is a sure thing now, its time to turn my attention back to assembling his forces to herald his arrival in 2021.

They appear to have noticed at the last moment.

Well, it's officially over as of 13 minutes ago. The final counter reads "8000+", so we'll see if and when they reveal the actual final total

by **GrangerPerry** » Sun Oct 06, 2019 10:23 pm

We already know though 287% backed that's 22,960. Safe to say the Op of Tf is this one

Looking at the HTML source code of the progress bar, the code is fluctuating through a decimal range between 142% and 144%.

Dude, your news crew, you know to find better sources than just one picture which can easily be photoshopped.

Honestly, people have gone **** stupid since this guy was funded. I can only imagine how much of their **** they would have lost if he didn't get funded. I'm kinda embarrassed to be a backer because of some people.

I didn't find the picture, I clipped it myself right from the HasLab page on Pulse.

It now says 286% so they seem to still be making adjustments.

Gotcha! Thanks for that.

I saw it initially on Facebook and the poster never bothered to share where he got it from, and like Sabreblade I checked the source code on Unicron's page and confirmed what he was saying.

News Credits: 440 · by **Sabrblade** » Sun Oct 06, 2019 11:38 pm

Yeah, it's weird. The page counter percentile and the source code percentile are definitely at odds with each other. Specifically, the former is showing the amount of the latter times two.

I made this graphic to show that the numbers for Unicron were in flux while the Sail Barge was consistent across both pages. However, both are going down. Sabrblade's observation that the Haslab number is exactly twice the product page number at any given moment is a good breakthrough.

Quick though about the "scalping" thing.
Everyone who bought an Unicron to resell later are NOT "scalpers". Because they do NOT "take away" an Unicron from someone else. The resellers are simply taking a 600$ bet. And good for them because they did contributed to the overall number.

I'm waiting for the final total confirmation number.
I do wonder how much were sold, all resellers, Hasbro Pulse and Japan combined?

If you are talking about the figures released under the Armada line, I might be able to help you with that....

Don't forget the Blendtrons from Beast Wars Neo!

and it would be nice if Hasbro included some either at the end of Earthrise or in the third part.
