I can't understand the "ooh look at the cool ship on the show, I want to buy one" mentality. Really this is a ship that was featured heavily in a cartoon show. The design of the toy is based off of the cartoon. The figures included are based off of the cartoon. Any appearance in Ahsoka will not have the same impact as seeing the Razor Crest every week on the Mandalorian. I think most collectors are aware of both the ship and the Rebels cartoon. What this really boils down to is the typical fence sitter collector deciding if they want to shell out the money. Personally, I didn't back either the barge or the razor crest until the tiers were unlocked. I think that is what a lot of people are waiting for. Many collectors are completists and would not be happy with an incomplete set of figures on the special cardbacks.
While I enjoyed Rebels and am liking Ahsoka, this campaign just doesn't interest me. Even if I had unlimited space and funds, I still don't know if I would back it. While it is a better choice than their last few failed campaigns, it isn't hitting the collectors sweet spot. Everyone is clamoring for a Death Star or Star Destroyer. Even the Mos Eisley cantina is a better bet. Imagine being able to pull off a cantina set with Tonnika sisters as flex goals?
