It wouldn't be a surprise if we see an even bigger increase as we get closer to the deadline.  I remember the final hour of the Rancor and I believe it would've been backed if it had another hour or so...they were only 500 away.
This is the way.

Where we sit right now... top 5 HasLabs by gross sales (not including tax and shipping):

Galactus- $12,324,091.89
Razor Crest- $9,838,568.89
The Ghost- $8,707,325.85
H.I.S.S. - $8,031,332.28
Sentinel- $7,655,331.27

Hooray to all of us hard working fans for helping put another nearly $9mil in sales into Hasbro's pocket!  I wonder what their profit/margin on that is?  50%?

The Ghost has to hit 19,678 to generate more money in sales than Razor Crest.  That might actually be doable at the current pace...

Well, that escalated quickly!

Happy to see them hit all the tiers, as this also guarantees us Sabine and Chopper on mural cards at some point as per the recent Q&A.  :)

About 4 hours and 14 minutes left at the time I made this post… Currently at 18,827 backers or 235.34% funded with all unlocks met. Glad to see the Ghost finally appeared, saw a little action, and wasn’t destroyed in the latest Ashoka episode as I’m sure that helped drive some last minute backers 8)

THAT'S THE SPIRIT!

It only needs about 180 170 156 per hour to actually hit 20,000.  I didn't think that was doable even a few hours ago.

With two and a half hours left we're at 19,758 backers.  20,000 is well within reach!

Wow, lots to spare even with the inevitable handful who back out. I was skeptical. I'm glad i was wrong.

I cannot believe this made it to 20k.  Crazy.  That's like 7k in the last two days (way more than 86/hr ).

I wonder how much of it is people opting to back a second one now that they know we're definitely getting a complete Rebels Mural cardback set?


ps.
Going to be fun for the wallets when this $500 charge hits overnight, then next week or two we start getting the $230 charges [$460 for dummies like me who bought 2] for the Throne Room (9/15) and then another two weeks its $80 for the Court Denizens 4-pack (9/29)...  that's  over $1k at least for me this month (no one tell my wife  :-\).

21,481 is the current "final" total... that number may move a little with last minute sales or CredCard declines, but still over 21k? Amazing.

Just got the AmEx text notification of a "large purchase" so goodbye $535 and the year long wait for delivery begins!
