That's probably about right. VS surpassed it's 3rd tier by 6k. But villains don't traditionally sell as well as heroes, especially in Japan. Also I think the design team was smart not to force 3 tiers on this one. Added content would have been great, but possibly not obtainable. The team really got it right in the demand for this guy ( not too much or too little). Hopefully future TF Haslabs will follow a similar trend of lower priced items, but still something fans would really want.

And just like that we have the cannon! I'm a bit disappointed that that was our international backer dump though. Thought we'd get more since he fully funded and some people wait till then, but oh well. Maybe a bunch of people will order now and we'll get the throne. Not as confident as I was during the last week, but still hopeful

True, it was a bit smaller this morning (about 550), as opposed to past Mondays. There is still 1 more Monday left however. I think it's going down to the wire. Probably next Mondays push will do the same, and get it just past the 17K needed if backers steadily grow this week, as they did last week.

At this point, I'm just hoping for the cannon. The throne would be nice, too, but I feel the cannon is more important to the character.

Welp, I finally saved enough to order. Now I just need to find a site that ships to other European countries beyond Pulse's (very limited) pool. The only one I could find so far was Robotkingdom; can anyone say how reliable they are with preorders?
Transformers Haslab Updates: Deathsaurus Tier 1 Funded and Pulse UK Shipping out Victory Saber

It's just more and more good news for Haslab Deathsaurus. He was funded a a little while ago and now the first tier has been funded as well. The full description of that tier is below. There are 7 days left to back him and less than 3000 orders are needed for the throne to be included.
We also have news that Hasbro Pulse UK is shipping out Victory Saber now. Pulse USA should be doing as well soon.
Tier 1 The Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon is perhaps one of the most destructive weapons in the Transformers universe. A fully-charged blast from its barrel can erode any metal material, including the living cells of Cybertronian lifeforms. This Deathsaurus figure comes with this signature weapon accessory and his classic spiked flail accessory! Fans can also plug the 6 included blast effects onto the Deathsaurus figure and his weapon accessories. The Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon, spiked flail, and blast effect accessories will be unlocked when the campaign reaches 14,000 backers.

Radical. The throne might end being funded anyway but I am at least glad Tier 1 was reached.

I ordered both Victory Saber and Deathsaurus through them (being located in Switzerland). VS was my first order from them and should ship out soon, as I just payed the remaining balance. Can't say more than that unfortunately, but the experience so far was good

Man, I am really starting to think about getting 2. He continues to look so good, I might want one for each mode

Twice the Deathy, twice the shipping. But if you're in the USA, the blow is not too bad, I guess.

I'm a premium member, free shipping. That has more than paid for itself with as much as i buy from them.

Too bad the "premium member" thing is not valid for Canadians.

I'm hoping it gets that last bump to get to the second tier. I don't especially want the throne, but the stand is good to have, especially since VS has one. But the numbers aren't coming in so fast. It needs 2400 in the next 5 days. Hopefully there will be a last day spike.

According to Bmac on Instagram, not all international backers have been added yet, so we might get that last boost we need

Weird, they put out an email today saying they needed just over 2000 backers, but that hasn't been true since Wednesday. I wonder how long they've been sitting on that email? And now we're under 1000!

Speaking of slow emails, I just got the mail from Pulse that my Victory Sabers have just left the building... while I got them yesterday!

I got that email today as well, though mine shipped yesterday. I have a feeling their shipping team is just a little overwhelmed right now.

New Video of Haslab Deathsaurus Showing Gimmicks and Weapon Storage
Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2022 11:01 pm
by william-james88
We have a new video fresh from Pulse with Yuko San, Deathsaurus' designer at Takara Tomy, showing off all the features of Haslab Deathsaurus. The only tier left to achieve as of now is the throne and the video shows how all the weapons can be stores behind it. We also see the articulation in dragon mode as well as the chest gimmick with his two partners.
Enjoy!

Heh, noticed some typos in the subtitles, there. Near the end of the video, the subs misspell the names of Victory Saber and Deathsaurus as "Victory Cyber" and "Deathzaras", respectively.

I already have my order in for Deathsaurus, and seeing this prototype right next to Victory Saber is really making me excited to have the two displayed together. Can't wait to use their respective stands for some awesome mid-air battle shots.
