For real?  Tier 3 at 13k seems like a lock, and the campaign will probably get to that point today.  I’m hoping that tier 4 will unlock at 15k, because that seems like it’s achievable with 12 days to go.

Watch the 5th tier be the blurrg and have it come up short.

I'm hoping Hasbro knows something or two about how to forecast demand down the stretch.  There must be a realistic shot to hit those milestones, although you would think there would be more incentive to buy if you knew what the next two unlocks were, unless Hasbro is still trying to figure it out...

Going to have to sell 12,629 Razor Crest to beat that dollar amount.  6-pack of Surly on the line! :)

Congratulations Jeff!

Yay for free beers! :)


Holy moly. Mystery unlocks #4 & #5 have been added.

That was unexpected.  Blurrg would be great but that's something that'd sell on it's own too.

I'd really like to see them use these unlocks to give us something we wouldn't otherwise get - maybe a deep cut like the little transport sled they ride to the Sorgan Village or the sled they use to get their parts back from the Jawas or something like that where it probably isn't flashy enough for a stand alone sale.  Or a deep cut figure like the Mos Eisley Mechanic lady with Pit Droids or whatever.

With only two weeks left, these have to be something they can sell separately.

Very curious what they could be though!
This is the way.

How about a carded Outland Jawa with Mudhorn egg?

I’m leaning towards a Blurg for Tier 4 - especially after seeing the nets in the cargo hold.  And maybe a Mythrol figure to put in the carbon freeze chamber for Tier 5.

Lights and sounds... I hope. A blurrg with exclusive paint decor would be a way to launch a blurrg mold and an exclusive at the same time.

A pleasant surprise. Would love a blurrg, which will probably have a different head, arm or tail tilt from a (hopefully-in-the-pipeline) mass release.

I'll echo the carded jawa. Big bang for the buck.

52 more backers to reach 13k.  I wonder what the cutoffs will be for unlocks 4&5...hopefully just 14k or 15k. 

And just as a side note, 13k orders at $350 each = a little over $4.5 Million in sales.  That's already past the $4.4 M in sales for the Khetanna.  Wow.

Yes, and that means free beers for Jeff!


I made a bet with a friend that Hasbro would pull in more $ for this than the barge.  He thinks this will never sell as well as the Barge did (OT elitist! :P)

8840 Barges @ $500 each = $4,420,000

Going to have to sell 12,629 Razor Crest to beat that dollar amount.  6-pack of Surly on the line! :)

12,978 right now.  It looks like we’re going to break through the tier 3 threshold tonight.  Since it’s almost 7 pm ET, I would think that the Tier 4 goal will be announced tomorrow.
