I know it has been stated that by Emily that 3.75" is getting a "soft reboot" but have there been ANY rumors or intel as to what to expect? I am assuming that A) anything new/changes will be revealed when the Skystriker ships or B) it is dead. Any ideas or thoughts?

That announcement about bubbles returning at SDCC that they had "just received"at that point would have to play hell with any plans they had made (and were probably in the process of executing like the Stinger) and the subsequent release schedule. As much as I unironically absolutely love the plastic free packaging and its paper rattans and independently displayable boxes, I recognize that this is money left on the table for a niche within a niche line which probably needs to grab very penny it can to continue. I am convinced within a reasonable margin of error that they pulled anything they could save from the plastic free packaging and get it redone, and this is why we're seeing a long delay in news. The staff cuts probably didn't help things either. |

That's a superbly reasonable response for the lull in O-Ring; the stop-and-start of plastic-free packaging.
The only counterpoint is there appears to be no similar lull in the Wal-Mart "Retro Cardback" line (but, you, say, they're just adding packaging to existing figure molds and accessories, to which I say yes, very good point). We'll find out in a few months. Looks like by late Q1 we'll be clear/caught up on most of our 2022 Classified preorder backlogs, so I'll be ready to buy some O-Rings by April.

I'm still hopeful a "soft reboot" becomes a "firm" reality when the Skystriker launches. At least in the way of an announcement or live stream.

Just a word of warning. Some people get their haslabs long before others, at times. Sometimes weeks or months later. And of course, they don't ship in order of who placed their order first, or by quantity. I've had my Galactus a few weeks now, and my buddy who ordered 5 hasn't received his yet. And he placed his orders long before me.

I backed the Sail Barge about 3 weeks after it went live but was one of the very first to receive it and was the first to post pics of it on the Rebelscum forums. It definitely doesn't matter when you back these HasLabs (or at least it didn't in 2018/2019), it more or less matters where you live I think. I believe the Barge shipped out from here in southern CA, so I think location has more to do with when you receive the item than backing order.
I don't remember if I received the Razor early though since it was delayed so much and I wasn't as excited about getting it as I was for the Barge. ((Things may have changed early on though since the Barge was the first HasLab. So maybe backing order does mean something now days?))

What does everyone think of my theory? If haslab had done a early backer for the skystriker like say the female strato-viper from the cartoon or a 3 pack of highly requested figures it would have done the same or better numbers then the hiss tank haslab
