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.
