order #314071XX* - 2/17/18
order #314131XX* - 3/21/18
=================
a difference of 5988
Haslab is currently sitting at 2984 barges "sold". Why the discrepancy?
a) because the order numbers are not truly sequential
b) because of Hasbro shenanigans
c) a wizard did it?
That was my initial thought too... maybe even order something from HTS and see if the number sequence is related...?
On any note, I think Jayson might be onto something. Suppressing the total would add more orders I would think, because if it was already "officially backed", some people who ordered 2nd and 3rd barges might cancel those extra orders. And during the last few days, keeping the number "attainable" but not certain would likely encourage more last moment orders.
If Hasbro can make 7-8k of these things, I don't think they have to reveal the true quantity - all they have to do is say they hit the 5k mark and then some... I think.
