Hasbro Ghostbusters

3,000 is nothing for last day surges. They’ve had projects get over 10,000 on the last day or two. I have little doubt of this funding by the end. It’s not like that year they had 3 separate Haslabs ending within days of each other in early December. That was just a recipe for disaster and the poorly planned Rancor paid the price. They’ve done much better timing these since then.

Sometimes I wonder if they will just internally bump up the numbers at the last minute to get it made. Have the extra 3000 or whatever in the warehouse and sell it later. I remember when the first Haslab Proton Pack came out, a few months down the line, they magically had additional limited stock to sell. Yeah it could be people that cancelled their orders but you'd never really fully know.

They could easily do the same this time. If it comes out well, people start regretting not getting it, they have a "limited" available for purchase and done. All stock cleared. Or just sell it to some online retailers and smaller stores without a max cap and clear it.

The other thing holding me back is the "all plastic" body - something about spending £400 / $500 US on a plastic car doesn't sit right. The lighting effects look great - but tbh, similar kits have been around for a while for Lego, and I'm not seeing much in the pre-release videos from Haslab that are convincing me to spend the cat's inheritance on it...
