Since this has been our previous home for discussion on "other" Haslab items (Cookie Monster, Unicron, Sentinel, etc.), thought I'd track the progress of the three big projects and compare/contrast them -

Wow, there must be a lot of merch-hungry Ghostbuster fans out there to pass 5k backers so quick. It'll really be interesting to see how far this goes and I'm sure will help Hasbro sell a LOT of
neutrino wands in the process (another $125 each).
Is it just me, or is the Rancor coming across like the weakest of the three Haslab projects? I am just a dabbler in the 6" line so I'm not going to back the Rancor anyway, but it comes across as the lightest offering. The Skystriker has a TON of accessories and room for more with all the unlocks. The proton pack has lights and sounds. The Rancor has... "it's really big". Hm. I guess "it's really big" worked for the Sentinel, but that wasn't up against two other Haslab projects at the same time.
