I know there are stores in other countries not served by Hasbro Pulse that can order units for sale in those countries, but I assumed they were consistently added to the total shown on the campaign page.

Does anyone know if those foreign orders are actually included in the current total, or if they will be added later?

It's hard to say. Hasbro Pulse only serves the US, UK and Canada. Every other country/region has to go through a partner retailer for the Haslab products.



There seemed to be a couple hundred bumps during the campaign a couple of time so it was assumed that was some international orders. I think it was Dan from the ML team that mentioned they did something like that during the Galactus project. Every week they would add in a bunch of international orders to the Pulse total. However outside of his mention there has never been an official confirmation of how/when they add the international numbers.


The other thing is that there is a lot of flux in the numbers in the 24-72 hours after the funding period ends. There is the, usually, big jump on the last day, but then the numbers do tend to go up, and down, afterwards in the following days. Whether that is orders being added in, or cancellations/declined cards I don't know.


I was skeptical a couple of hours ago that the Rancor would fund, but I think it might just squeak by now.

Very unlikely, unlocked tiers would mean more bang for your bucks so it would get more ppl to back the project.

Re: Haslab Projects General Discussion

I backed 2 Rancors a few days ago before Rancor Keeper was added. I am pretty neutral on this project even with the new uncarded figure added to the base. I am waiting to see what Hasbro does... if it barely funds 9,000 and the other items are not included then I may cancel my orders in 30 day window. I'm interested to see how Hasbro handles this in the aftermath, but for now I am down for 2.

If it just passes the 9,000 in the end, that is it. Hasbro won't add anything. Now if it somehow gets close to a tier (say less than 200), then I can see them possibly adding in that tier.

Backed the Rancor. Now crossing my fingers that it doesn't reach its funding goal…

Numbers ticking up a bit after the end, but still 500 short.

Looks like that rancor is dead…

is that people cancelling, or hasbro auto-cancelling because it didn't fund?

either way seems pointless.
