If I could swing it I'd seriously think about getting in on it. I've never felt comfortable with the whole kickstarter thing and I may be wrong, but this seems like a much safer bet(and maybe a lesser pain in the ass) with a big toy company like Hasbro. They look like they've gotten a lot of it in motion or mostly figured out already. I may of missed it, but did they give an idea of how long it would be for the finished product?
As for if this could lead into some new or retooled GI Joe product? That would be so awesome. Even if it was as little as just a source of getting some new or unreleased figures made. Of course, I'm guessing they'll wait to see how this Sail Barge thing works out before extending this to other properties.
Hopefully by the time JoeCon rolls around(and if Hasbro show up there), someone can ask them about the possibility of HasLab expanding to GI Joe. Maybe that's part of their plan as a future club replacement? Who knows? It's interesting to think about at least.
I agree, I am not a gambler in any sense of the word and for me kickstarters are too much of a gamble. I think the price is fair also. I am a staunch club hater, their crappy repaints and kitbashed junk are ridiculously overpriced in my opinion. I think this would be a much more effective way of giving collectors what they want. But unfortunately it makes too much sense so it will never happen....we can dream though.
