The middle weeks only seem useless here just because it funded for fast. Other Haslabs took a bit. Also them shortening the Haslab duration will not see the Haslab come out faster.
The production dates are already discussed. Though in the case of HISS, they knew early that this will hit production. But the teams schedule and factory schedule is set. I'm not seeing any downside to 45 days unless you feel you need the money taken out of your account before an emergency/changing your mind. If you're right and they are already working on it as though it funded, then there is no downside. I believe it's far more likely that every day during this extended funding period basically corresponds to receiving the tank a day later. I bet Hasbro doesn't authorize them to actually proceed until the money is in hand. But, whatever. It's not going to change. It's just poor strategy that isn't always used by other, similar projects.

That's exactly what I did after SDCC, but I'm obviously the crazy one in the minority on this one, so do what you think you should do. I think the community is setting itself up for $600 Rattlers and $1,000 playsets at this point. I'm no more down for that than I am $300 for a HISS tank (that was always cheap since it's basically an empty shell made of plastic) with a few LED lights plus a few figures, but I may not be the target demo for what HasLab releases either.

If the figures with the Hisstank are coming on Blister Cards and not window boxes, I would like to hear from Hasbro that they will not be as flimsy as the Walmart exclusives.

The other figures are coming in plastic-free boxes with numbers. The last window boxes are Zarana, Crimson Guard, and Dusty.

For the price we're paying, I'd certainly hope not. If any of them look like what I received this week they're going right back. Unless I can scalp them in shit condition.

Well I finally went ahead and backed one. I'll probably be keeping the tank (especially if Nonnef makes good on that 1:18 conversion kit!) but not any of the figures. If that beautiful Classified CG can't compel me to start collecting 6" figures, nothing will.

Haha at the rate Target is moving on these TF/PP figures, we might get the last windowed figures in 2024 ;)

Yes, that's true. The Zarana/CG wave was supposed to come out after those TF figures, but maybe they beat the Target stuff.

I bet Hasbro doesn't authorize them to actually proceed until the money is in hand. But, whatever. It's not going to change. It's just poor strategy that isn't always used by other, similar projects. They are already working on it before they get the money. Building prototypes is investment already on Hasbro's part. What they likely won't do is make all the molds and start factor production until they get the money. By until I really mean in a few months if not next year. These "extra days" are not pushing back production times. Before this Haslab started they know if it gets funded that production would start in say December. It doesn't start the day after the Haslab ends. What they need to know though is how many units they need to produce. It's not a poor strategy because you are just not going to get it any faster. Do not correlate a day of the campaign as being one more day they have to push back production. The only downside to 45 days is if somehow someone pushes out a mass produced unlicensed HISS(or insert any other Haslab) in that time where people can still cancel a preorder. We know how Hasbro works. There are enough interviews with Team members through the years that support that production just doesn't start. It has to be planned out. If the campaign was 6 months sure. Not 45 days. 45 days is a drop in the bucket once you remove holidays and weekends. People working 8 to 5. People going on PTO. From Hasbro POV, it's short.
