Haslab Projects General Discussion

[Robimus]

Over 20k.

Hasbro might as well have charged $799 USD.

Final Ghost update:


21,526 / 8,000 (+6,294) 269.08% of funding goal.


Well that was great! I was a bit worried that it wouldn't make 20,000 backers, but I should have trusted the numbers. Glad to see it get so high. That makes it the most successful Haslab at $500. (total number of backers)


Now bring on Giant Man!!!

At $200 USD I might actually back Giant Man. The unlocks aren't the greatest though - don't really care about a zombie or Skrull faceplate. Would have been nice to have another figure or 2 added on.

The Skrull head is an actual head because of the need to put the ears on him. The rest are faceplates.



I really like this, and the price is pretty good too (though someone posted that it closes in on $400Cdn after everything).


I'll probably bite on this, but I'll wait and see how it goes because I can't see, yet, which way it will go. I think this will be a tough slog to unlock, but if it does then it should get to all the unlocks.

I dunno, I think this one probably won't be too hard to reach the first 2 unlocks, and probably more levels if they add them later on. It's something collectors have wanted for a long time, and both the Sentinel and Galactus did well. It's a pretty safe project, more appeal than their Ghost Rider project had.

Looks cool. Maybe I'll back this one if it gets Zombiefied.

So begins another Haslab:


Giant-Man:




3324 / 10,000 (day one) 33.24% of funding goal with 44d 17h left.



I like the looks of this, but I'm not sure how much it offers in value. I think the price is good, but maybe, as others have mentioned, it would have been better to just sell this as an Pulse exclusive like Boba Fett's Throne Room. So it keeps the price, but everything is included and not some, in my opinion, fairly weak tiers.


I wonder how much no figures as tiers will affect backing. No real way to know for sure though. Also the start was good, but definitely not as strong as other recent Haslabs. I stick with my worry that this could struggle to get funded. However the price really should help in that area.


Now to see how this plays out online (Youtubers, influencers, etc). Will it be like the Engine of Vengeance (negative), or will it be positive? Maybe it will not even get much traction?

The potential aftermarket value of reward-figures really helps justify the initial purchase cost. FOMO will get the fence-sitters in the end though. What's the point of buying every other Avenger figure if your not going to get the definitive Giant-man?

If no additional tiers are added, this offering kinda shows how Haslab "unlocks" are\were priced into the base offering. Hasbro isn't adding value, your earning value; which seems wrong.

Giant-Man:


3,892 / 10,000 (+568) 38.92% of funding goal with 43d 17h left.


Nice second day bump let's see how it goes.

[canprime]

Giant-Man:


4,115 / 10,000 (+223) 41.15% of funding goal with 42d 18h left.


Still triple digit gains which is a good thing, let's hope it keeps doing that for a couple more days.
