This is crystal clear information on what consumers could be getting in the final product, however (assuming stretch goals are met, which seems unlikely at this point). Is it enough to coerce people to fund if they were on the fence? I'd like to think so, but I'm also concerned about the timing of this. People might find it hard to justify a $230 expense for themselves (willing to be wrong, but few people are buying these as gifts) the weekend after they've spent hundreds or thousands on Christmas gifts for other people. Just like others suggested that the Unicron was extended to allow people to save up the cost of the item, this is nowhere near as expensive, but the end is coming at a time of year when people are spending loads of discretionary income on people other than themselves. Given the lag in announcements, I'd honestly prefer to see this extended to Jan 15th for the funding period. Give us a bit longer to realistically meet those stretch goals and also give people an opportunity to purchase if they just blew all their christmas money at the racetrack...I mean, spent it all on gifts for other people. ;) tl;dr: discretionary spending for the self is very very low this time of year, let's extend this 5 weeks to help give folks a chance to save up money they'd otherwise spend for themselves.

I think a $199.99 price point may have hit the first finish line at this point.

Would be cool if they would add the weapons transport from 1985 to pull the missile cart and refueling tanker.

I was surprised they had it ending so close to Christmas, thats some bad timing. If they push it to January, I could get another one or two.

So, with the carded figures it becomes a bargain for those who like to resell, because the value of those carded figures on the secondary market from the people who JUST want the figures will be... considerable. Guessing up to $100 each for the named characters. NF Rip especially will be desired. Same with the support vehicles.
$230.00 for THE ultimate Skystriker, 2 support vehicles and up to SIX carded o-ring Joes? That's feels like a strong offer in the consumer's camp now. |
