275, 47 hours 45 minuets. We got this.

208 to go for the final tier. I fully expect it to have crossed that final threshold in the morning when I check it again.

I'm going to be bold and predict a final total of about 19-20k. Less than Victory Saber's total of 26k, but a sizable last day push seems to be traditional for Transformers products, if not all Haslabs.



Still haven't gotten my Victory Saber but that's fine, it should show up by Christmas.

Ladies and Gentlemen... We have a Throne/Stand .

Woohoo!

Final tier unlocked everyone!!!

Good news to those who backed Haslab Transformers Deathsaurus, all tiers have been unlocked. By now having over 17000 orders, this toy will now come with the throne and stand. This is great since we now know that the throne can store all the weapons we got when the previous tier unlocked and backers now get an even more complete package for the same price of $179.99. People who have yet to back it have today and tomorrow left to do so: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... eathsaurus

Terrific news. Nice to know everything advertised will be produced.

...and then came a mystery tier, where we also get a G1 reissue!

Or better yet, another run of Victory Sabers with better QC. Ah well, nothing wrong with mine that I can't fix with a dremmel and patience.

Glad I backed this guy in the final stretch. I'd get two if I could.

I wonder who else might fit well on that throne?

For the size of Deathsaurus, probably the Combiners & Siege Jetfire.

Excellent news to hear, I am really happy the Throne will be coming too.

Still debating getting a 2nd. need to decide tomorrow

Looks like the "I'll back it if it reaches all the tiers" crowd are starting to show up, we're nearly at 18,000 now. We might actually hit 20,000 Monday when the final big batch of orders are added in.

I backed it just before it's funded. I was confident it'll at least reach the 1st tier with the Metal Destroying Cannon, which I can't live without. Glad both bonus tiers got unlocked. I wonder if it'll reach 22K.

The dump tomorrow won't be as big as with VS since international orders have been added each Monday sk.ce the campaign began. Still, I could see this ending tomorrow somewhere between 20+21K. I seriously doubt it will reach the 26K that VS did.

Definately won't reach VS numbers. But if Deathsaurus can do anywhere above 20K would give Hasbro more confident to bring good JG1 designs into the mainline. We heard people who don't even know JG1 characters like Deathsaurus and yet they backed it because it looks awesome. And that could only be good news for both Hasbro & fans for TFs longevity.

We've cleared 18K!

And yes, the bump won't be as big as VS's, but it should be larger than last Monday, plus the late backers have been very steady. 20K would have been the 3rd tier if there was one, shame they weren't confident enough to do one.

I dunno what they could've added as a 3rd tier, but it would've been neat getting a something a little bit extra. He does seem to have toy-inspired details that weren't present on the animation model, maybe some alternate bits like more toy-accurate heads for both modes and toy-accurate feetsies for the kaiju mode as a bonus.

The toy gun would have been a good start.

Oh yeah, that also would've been neato. I s'pose a 3rd tier could've had all those toy-inspired doodads!

Tier 3 could have been Solon's mech King Solon, which could combine with Deathsaurus to form Kingsaurus.

*nevermind*

I hope Deathsaurus' flight stand is compatible with Star Saber's so I can try to put both on VS's base and have the Star Saber & Victory Leo displayed together on the same base.

I had no G1 attachment to this character or figure, so despite the fact that the first half of it's name is gloriously awesome, I won't be making a try to get this figure. Still, glad that it's going to make all of its goals so that the people who DO want it will get everything they wished for!

What would I like to see? How about a re-stock of Cosmos so that US buyers get get one?

Well now, consider all expectations well and fully blown away!



That was a MASSIVE bump of around 4K, a few hours ago he was nearly 19K, now he's nearly 23K! With 13 hours to go his final number might actually rival VS's after all!

Emerje

Heh, with that much of a bump, now I kinda am wishing they had had a secret surprise third tier in the works for just in case it managed to get this high.

And King Solon would have been perfect for that secret third tier.



Combines with Deathsaurus to form Kingsaurus.

Wow, that is surprising. I figured it would be a smaller dump. Still great to see. Makes me wish Hasbro would have offered a 3rd tier at 20 K though..
