I'm glad for anyone who wants it, but this all feels extremely fake to me.

Agree 1000%.  Bet there is some intern plugging away at the numbers all night to get us past 9k.

Daddy wants it. Daddy needs it.  Daddy's got to have it!

Shenanigans.  The smart thing to do here would be to order 2, then sell one of your orders minutes after it hits the threshold for a 50% upcharge.  Voila - half priced Rancor!

Does anyone know what's up with Sprite and Ajax from the Eternals?  Target seems to have all the others in abundance, but I have not seen any sign of those two.

Did anyone by chance end up ordering an Extra Fett?  I was able to get the other two but not that one.

If you've been wanting the TVC Slave One and have been holding out...now is the time!


There's also the Troop Transport, POE's X-wing from TROS and the Skiff that a 10 to 15% discount could help.

Wow, surprised any of that stuff is still available.  Like Dave said, not regretting bailing on the membership thus far.

4889 now...I have to say, I am surprised that the numbers keep going down.  I figured less people would be interested after the lackluster news, but I didn't think we'd see negative numbers ongoing.  Wow.

Add me to the list of those wanting this to fail.  Sorry to those who are interested, but if this moves forward, it's going to mean more of the same.  I'd rather have it fail and send a message that collectors are not okay with ridiculous prices or lazy incentives on these big ticket items.  I really like the Rancor and would love to have it my collection...for about $200 or less.  At $350, this thing costs more than 15 brand new black series figures (15 * $23 = $345).  Think about that for a minute.  You could get a set of 15 new figures...or a Rancor.  And honestly, given all the comments online, I think the numbers would easily get to the 9k if they had just included Oola or a Rancor Keeper.  Limiting the incentives to re-packs probably has some people cancelling just to spite their lazy approach to getting more backers.  I have to admit, I'd probably have a pre-order right now if this had those two figures attached to it.  Or for this price, give it some battery power to move the mouth or make it growl or have some kind of walking feature. 

I was just looking at the Haslab Galactus offering earlier this week and admiring the 30k+ backers.  Yes, it was $400, but the offering included two brand new 6" figures and a repack of a fairly hard to find Silver Surfer figure.  Galactus also has 70 points of articulation (vs 45 for the Rancor) and has alternate heads, light up LEDs, etc.   This is also a character that has few previous iterations and is somewhat spendy on the secondary market, while I would guess most SW fans have a rancor or multiple rancors at this point.  Pretty sure I have half a dozen of them in various forms.  There's definitely a market for this big ticket stuff, but they either have to make the prices more reasonable or include more meaningful incentives to get backers fired up.
