Haslab Transformers LioKaiser Is Already Halfway to Funding Goal after 1 Week

I'd be happy just to see the first tier unlocked.

Reportedly, Taobao has already taken over 5000 orders from Asian territories. So combined with the 5000+ orders on Hasbro Pulse, we can probably consider this set funded, in roughly just nine days since the whole campaign started.

I finally backed this morning.

And for anyone who was curious on the Iron Factory one, have a couple photos just for comparison

I just got an email from Hasbro Pulse saying that Liokaiser has funded.

The spike came from Hasbro adding in the current number of international backers from other sources

That makes sense.

Odd, it worked in the preview. Fixed.

The negativity is a little ironic considering people were hoping the previous HasLab would be Liokaiser before it was revealed to be Omega Prime.

So with a whopping 6291 backers yesterday, Liokaiser has become the most successful Haslab ever at this point in the campaign, and amusingly, it met the minium goal at exactly the same point as Omega Prime did. Unlocking the core figure means more people will pledge with confidence and we'll likely hit the first tier within the week. The higher price tag, more obscure character, and design controversies may scare off some people compared to previous campaigns but we should clear 25k easily.



Funnily enough, this would have been a good campaign to do an early brid incentive for, compared to the previous project (the Ghostbusters Ectotron), which didn't meet the early bird and nearly failed until the project team decided to include the early bird item in all orders anyway. But I'm glad they seem to have learned after two failures not to do early birds. Or at least be more selective about them.

You can't scalp a made to order product.

Sure you can. Piece of cake. Create multiple emails. Order max number per email account. Wait until 6-9 months after release then double the price you paid. Pay $300 USD each, pick up 10 of them. You profit $3k if you get $600. Even if you only get $450 each, you make $1500.

That's not scalping. If anything that's flooding the market. Scalping is when you buy a product before someone else has the opportunity and resell it at a markup. But this product is made to order so no purchase prevents someone else from getting it.
