Okay so I understand the new parts are in yellow, but what I don't understand is what's their purpose?
What do they do? Why do they exist?
Are they making him more accurate to the original gun he's based on? Can't say I felt UM's original gun was so iconic that this needs further tweaking.

The new bits are the gun barrels/missiles that stick out the front of the launcher  |

Has this got the legs to get to 30K?

It's been fairly steadily averaging around 500 a day, yes? Some days more, some less, but generally averaging close to 500.
So. If that holds steady, without any shenanigans, then it's only gonna pick up around 3,000 more.
But there is definitely gonna be a last day bump, from "now or never" people getting fomo fever and pulling the gun.
I definitely see this reaching 25k.
But I'm not sure it can hit 30k without last minute shenanigans from Hasbro to inflate the numbers.

Also no talk of secret final tiers... But then weren't the Micromasters a late addition to Victory Saber also?

So it's keeping pace with my "400-500 a day" estimation.
Yeah, barring last day inflation shenanigans, there's no way it'll break 30k.
At this pace it won't break 25k, but I do think there's gonna be a bigger number spike these last two days as holdouts start caving. So I do think it'll at least reach 25k.

*HOPEFULLY* by the time we're done we'll have enough data to draw some graphs
With the majority of these most of the business is done in a peak at the start and a peak at the end so it's certainly not a smooth 4-500 a day everyday.
There's been more than one that's sky rocketed close to the finish....

Two days to go and I am not feeling stirred enough to back this. The last two were figures I'll never own the originals of but this... this just feels like it'll be nice, but disappointing compared to the original. Kinda like Armada Megatron.

I'm not saying that if they announce a little T-AI figure to go with this set it could make me rethink my whole stance on not buying this, but...

Teasing a 'if you don't buy this you will miss out on a secret thing' item would be a deeply cynical marketing ploy. I'm not seeing any evidence that Haslab itself is doing this, however. Seems to be fan/site speculation only at this point*.
