The Tiger Force Roadblock is so close to the Heavy Artillery one. Especially, if you don't use the helmet. The stripes on his pants are so faint. So maybe just hold off on getting a deal on that set versus paying too much for the Heavy Artillery version.

I do not have an answer, but welcome to the discussion (and a deeper connection with your dysfunctional hobby family).

The alternative being waiting for a Retro Roadblock, because that has to be happening at some point, easy repaint, less heavy artillery, ka-ching.

How is it hard to track down there are literally 100 listings on ebay , just because it may cost more than msrp doesnt make it difficult or hard to track down or find . If it?s too expensive, say it?s too expensive. Don?t say it?s hard to track down when it?s not. They were plenty of that figure made it?s not even close to being rare .

I'm not a clearance chaser but that
is a good bet.


I find all the classified stuff being sold through and there will
inevitably be sets of 3-6 of these 2 packs in
every Target store I go to.

Not gonna lie guys, I'm sweatin' here...

I don't think we'll make 18k in 9 days for the Rattler Haslab.

That patch tier is already bad enough. But missing another figure on top of that -- and a really good Baroness at that -- I'm not sure I can continue backing this with as steep as the current asking price is.

I want to be wrong, but we're cutting it close here. Even the Dragonfly managed to max out within weeks of the final tier. There must be some way to get more eyes on this before the nine days are up.

The HISS and Dragonfly both got boosted by 5000 in the final week. I think the Rattler will pull more like 3000/4000, but it'll be more than enough.

Crowd Funding just works like that you get "excitement" or backers when it starts a lull in the middle and then a scramble at the end.
It can easily pass 18,000 if it follows the usual pattern.

Sure some other campaigns fail to unlock all tiers.
But I recall the Ghost sat at 11k to 14K for most of its run and ended at 21,768 So all tiers looked like a worry there too for some.

The Cantina was a tricky one - to be honest I think people were apathetic about it and just not very impressed with the bang vs buck of it either, especially in a declining marketplace for Star Wars products (even since the Ghost).

I don't know what others think, but I would consider the Ghost more of a talking point item.

But considering the Rattler only has to make another 3k or so to fully unlock I'm not worried. I might be worried if there was a 18K tier on a Whale though.

I really wish more people were aware of this HasLab tracker site.

Seriously. Relax. We're pretty much right on track with the Dragonfly HasLab. In fact, it's actually quite scary how closely the Rattler has followed the backing pattern of the Dragonfly. (and this isn't even up-to-date yet.)
