Looks like it's a paypal dispute that has halted the Dark Side Toys pre-orders.

How could he possibly "know who they are" as he claims? And wtf does any of this have to do with eBay?

Seems even sketchier after reading that somehow.

I was bummed to see that Hasbro said they will never re-offer this thing again in any way shape or form if it fails to get backed this time. I get that they are trying to motivate people to commit but that almost seems spiteful.

With TRU dead Hasbro shouldn't try to alienate their few customers left. I can see the whole star wars line becoming theme park only exclusives now that WDI and DCP are combined at Disney. They don't seem to notice that star wars really doesn't fly off the shelves anymore.

3323 and climbing.  This surge is definitely cause for some optimism.

3,348 now. Go baby!

I think if they threw in that sweet sailbarge Nikto, that would be just the bump it needs.

3,397 just a little while later.

That's about 500 in a little over the last two days. 

I'm believing again.

3404 and still climbing.  That's over 100 for today alone, and the day isn't over yet.  If they can keep up a pace of 150 per day?  That 5000 goal might just be in sight.

That's over 600 new orders in 72 hours.  Impressive.  Most impressive.

Do any of you recall if when the backing window closes, the opportunity to order does to?  It would make sense for Hasbro to keep taking orders as long as they could logistically take them right?

Or is the number that it's at when the clock hits zero the total number that they're going to make?

"This campaign will move into production when it reaches its minimum backing goal of 5,000.  We will stop taking backers at 11:59 EST on April 3, 2018 at which time your payment will be charged, if that backing goal has been reached."

I agree that they could still take orders for a period of time after the close to sneak a few more in, but I take this to mean that you will not be able to order one at Midnight April 4th.  If someone was planning to order one last minute, they'd best get in before that time I think.

What I was really getting at was whether or not they'd keep taking orders for a long time at the start of production.  Like, if people kept wanting to order but hadn't yet, or suddenly got a raise and wanted to get sometime in May...

But it sounds like theoretically it's only for people who get in before the next ten days?
