HasLab Victory Saber

[Gizmoboy]

Preorders have really slowed down, which I figured would happen.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

That's normal, but oof. I want that first stretch goal.

 

[Sabrblade]

The thing I've been hoping to see, and haven't so far, is a size comparison of Victory Saber against another toy. Using Hound in the video reveal was nice, and Star Saber looks big (leader sized?) compared to Victory Leo.

I doubt they're Omega Supreme sized when combined, but maybe Jetfire?

Size comparison from TFW:

 

[CoffeeHorse]

That's actually a really good size. I wouldn't want it any bigger than that.

 

[SoS]

I've been asking for this for years now. I pestered John Warden whenever I had a chance for years about getting Star Saber. I think the only one to outdo me was Unicron.com's West Dixon on Facebook, lol. I was so glad to know he was coming when the Victory logo was teased as the next HasLab project. Can't wait for this release!

I've backed. We're over halfway after, what, a week or so now?
This will get funded, it's just a matter of which tier afterwards is hit. Once the japanese market preorders are added in I'll bet it skyrockets.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Even if Transformers is barely a thing in Japan anymore, I bet Star Saber has a lot more crossover appeal with the average super robot fan than Unicron does.

When do those get added in?

 

[Rhinox]

I believe those numbers are put in towards the end of the campaign. I do not know for certain, though.

Likely somewhere inbetween.

 

[Powered Convoy]

They have to make it available in Japan first...

Counterpoint: Literally anything else (including blast effects) would be better stretch goals than “chunks of plastic for when you stare underneath a gun barrel or at a figure’s inner thighs”

Personally, blast effects do nothing for me. They go right into the parts bin, to be forgotten about.

I'm inclined to agree with you, although I also agree with Mr Blud's post. I'm not against filling in the hollow plastic, but if it's not already being done, it's not worth wasting a stretch goal on. I'd sooner have the blast effects that do nothing for me.

It doesn't really matter much. I'm already backing it. I'd love to be getting stretch goal items (whatever they are), but I'm backing the item as it is, without those. The stretch goals are just nice extras.

 

[Kaon]

The more I look at Saber, the less I want to back him. I guess I'll make my decision closer to the deadline.

 

[Robogeek1973]

Huge bump a little bit ago, and we're currently at 7346 backers right now.

Ooh over halfway to the first tier

 

[GodSentinelOmega]

Up to 7449 now. Slow and steady wins the Victory Saber.

 

[Swerve]

They really should do some digibash images with color. Might encourage more backers.

There's still nearly a month to go. I imagine we'll see that closer to the end as part of the big, final push.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Some people take all month to save their pennies. This is far from over.

I gotta admit that I’m holding off until it gets closer to hitting the 11,000 goal to back it. I know that sounds weird and I’m sure I’m not the only one doing the same.
