With 9 days left, it's time to kick it into high gear. Hasbro is not letting the excitement for Victory Saber die down. The number of backers is climbing with the guarantee that it will be backed and Hasbro is showing us all that we will get if it reached 20000. They show us the shield, and it gives us a much better look that before. We also see how the Shield can be used for a base mode. And we also see how the base mode would look like without the shield. Along for the third tier ride are 2 micromasters, Holi and Fire, along with some extra mini blast effects.

Man, can we really make another 7652 orders in just nine days?

It's going to be tough, but not impossible. If we just get the V Lock cannon I'll be happy. I have no basis here, just random guessing, but lets say there are 3000 orders from other retailers sites that haven't been counted yet, and 3000 from TT Mall that haven't been counted (I think its a pretty safe bet VS gets more orders than Legends Grand Max which got more than 2000 back in 2018),so, that is 6K, it's close , but not enough...We shall see.

Also I kind of wish the Fire Truck Micromasters' name was Smoke. I'll see myself out now.

I really want this but money is tight for me. I would have much rather this been a retail release as 2 commanders or a commander and leader, not sure how the two individual bots size up to each other.

Neat that there’s more to the third tier than just the shield, but… I was hoping for Boater and Pīpō instead of Holí and Fire. I think Siege Stakeout and Red Heat make decent stand-ins for their Japanese counterparts as is.

If they haven’t already tallied up international and Japanese orders, I think it could be very possible we’ll just skirt on by at the very end. :-?

I'll be honest, I kinda think we might have just crossed the number for the stand. I'm hoping I'm wrong and what actually happened was that we crossed the shield mark, but I'm not confident we're getting there unfortunately. I could also be wrong in thinking we crossed the stand mark. Either way, I'm not feeling particularly confident in us clearing the shield, but I'm really hoping we do

Huh? It jumped from 12,412 to 12,415 just now. That's not enough for the stand. Am I missing something?

My assumption is that Hasbro isn't putting the numbers from the third party vendors in, but still has access to the numbers and is using that as a gage for when to reveal new stuff. It's completely me guessing, but it kinda makes sense to me because they might not put them in until the orders are locked in so as to not mess with the "official" count, but they probably get like a daily or weekly count or something to help them track progress and decide when to reveal things, especially after Galactus I believe blasted through like 3 tiers in a day because of affiliate orders.

But like I said, I'm totally guessing and very likely wrong :lol:

I mean I know the size will vary depending on whether or not all the tiers are funded. But both the SW Sail Barge and Marvel Legends Sentinel got what I would call premium packaging (Sail Barge homaging classic SW toy releases, and Sentinel with high color gloss and graphic art). While Unicron was a 3 foot Cube Plain brown box. Sure it did have a little graphic design, but not much.

I am hoping that Victory saber comes in a packaging that homages the original C-328 set. Having a flap held down with magnets (ala Unite Warriors) to see the toy inside would be neat as well. This is just wish fulfillment for me. But anything besides a plain brown box would be nice.

I'm guessing it'll just be a brown box since Hasbro seems to think these are part of Selects based on comments they made about Unicron's box. If not that then, like other HasLab projects, the box will just look like whatever is on the shelves at release, so in this case Legacy packaging.

So… the base mode doesn’t have A.I.R.Lock to connect to other bases, that would’ve been a great feature

Yay Holi! But.. but... What about Jan? Come on, he can be just a teeny slug figure.

"Quick do the splits to form the base!"
It was stupid with Powermaster Prime too. If you're going to add a base mode, put some effort into it.

Nah, PM Prime's base mode was miles better thanks to all the guns and fold out ramps. Ginrai is even better since his hands are hidden.

Doesn't even compare.

I will say this, the shield makes all the difference in base mode, I really hope it gets that far.

It's less an actual building and more just a gun turret, like what Energon Omega Supreme's two vehicles can turn into, but with more walls for a better defense.

Comment by Bumblevivisector Oct 2, 2021

I was hoping the 2 Micromasters would be Holi and the first official toy of Clipper. The minor tweaks to Hyperdrive would be far easier than whole new molds for Boater and Pipo.

For that matter, Riker could be an easy remold of Swindler/Blackjack...
