2018 HasLab - TVC Jabba's Sail Barge (The Khetanna)

4,891 4,904

If this turns out to be hacked, I'm going to go full rancor.

The last time I refreshed last night we were at 4075, now we're less than 50 away from meeting goal. No way.

There must have been a contract in place where a vendor agrees to pick up X once the backer count reaches Y, there's no way after limping along the whole campaign we get 800 backers overnight.

Edit - and we're done - 5037 backers as of this update.

[Jayson]

5031

And that answers the question of what will happen once the site reaches 5000 - you can still back it and the number keep counting up.

I'm sure Hasbro will need to do a lil auditing of those orders before they officially announce success, but YES!  So happy to see it pass 5000!

[Darby]

Congrats to everyone getting a barge (or two). That's awesome and great for the future of the program. Only question now is how high it goes. I'll say 7500, given the pace.

[Rob]

Wow.  It flew past it... I really hope there’s
nothing ****y going on with the numbers, the pace since 4,000 seems way beyond what I expected.

[Mister Skeezler]

Holy ****!!!

[Darby]

Since it will pass 5100 here in the next five minutes or so (!!!) the sky apparently is the limit. Crazy. Honestly still debating myself. I feel like being in the game since 77, I kind of need to do this, but... I have NOWHERE for it to go. Doesn't seem to be stopping anyone else though. >.>

Yeah - like someone ordered one but had the web browser developer tools open and figured out how to essentially hack the site and inflate the counter without actually placing an order just so they could make an April Fools joke out of the process/program.

Yeah I think a lot of people are in that boat. 

Where the hell are we all going to put this thing?  Well, there's almost a year to figure that out.  I'm not sure yet how I will either; I'll probably part with some more stuff that doesn't matter so much to me.

[Mister Skeezler]

Can't figure out how to embed a tweet in this forum, but Hasbro is calling it.

+1 on hoping that the numbers are legit.  I thought it might have taken until tonight to hit 5k, and we blew right through that.  It’s kind of crazy how the last 1000 backers just flooded in like they did.

[Pete_Fett]

UGH - time to totally steer clear of JTA - not only is a certain someone going to feel like they can take 100% credit for making it happen, the sycophants are all going to be congratulating him for making it happen. 

[McMetal]

well, crap. 

I guess they don't need my money now...sigh.

100% agree Pete, the gladhanding going on at that ***hole site is going to be insufferable.
