Ooh. I wasn't expecting them to reveal that. So 4500 overall so far with a week to go? Now I'm not so certain about this funding.

It's not funding. It's not going to make it.
....and then I'll be free...

Yes but they've given the game away now. We knew the overseas orders were to be added but they've played their trump card early.
I can only think they're working on the 'more people will back it if they think it's going to fund' angle.

I can only think they're working on the 'more people will back it if they think it's going to fund' angle. Which is the angle they should have played from the beginning. Its one thing to think about buying something if it gets made and another to know something is coming and having to decide if you want it. I suppose I should watch the video but by overseas orders are they on about Takara Tomy or BBTS/TFexpress etc? Or both. If both thats a pretty low number. If just TT its not much better. If its BBTS etc when did they suddenly become "Affiliated Retailers"? I mean I know they have connections with Hasbro, but isn't this the first time Hasbro have acknowledged or pointed out that people outside of North America and Japan do having buying options and not just that, but that they are kind of official. Surely thats something they should have had organised from the start, now it just feels like a last minute panic.

Agreed, User 3. It's also true that TFSExpress are doing this through Hasbro China. There isn't a proper route through Hasbro UK to get this, which makes the worldwide affiliate bit even more silly.

Yes. It went nuts when all the people holding off realised it stood a chance of funding and didn't want to miss out. Less chance of that happening here?

I bet Hasbollocks play this with a 'blame it on the Fans' vibe.
