More to the point, I think they scream "We don't want them to KNOW we're failing."

That's true

What wrong with the size? Too big? Too small? If it because they would be no place to display it i would understand but giving out thay a transformer that is the size of a planet is too large make no sense. Of anything its too small

Too small, he's only 4 inches taller than a Titan Class and yet Hasbro want 3 times the price

The time frame wasn't the only thing that was wrong with Unicron. In fact for many the price, size, the fact it was Unicron and the timing of the fundraising were bigger points of concern

To be fair, there were aton of people begging them for more time on Unicron, because it was a short window to spring on people for such an expensive purchase.

WOW.

Eleventh hour number jumps on the Sail-Barge, mysterious number drop-offs on Cookie Monster, and a last minute extension on Unicron?

The more I hear, the more I realize how on the button my original assessment was. HasLab IS Hasbro's MatteyCollector, their Subscription Scam. By that I mean a huge and ungainly construct that'll drag down the company, the fans, and everyone else involved as it teeters and finally collapses under its own weight. I just hope Hasbro realizes this before, like Mattel, boththe company and its reputation are permanently damaged.

The events with both Cookie Monster and Unicron scream, "we don't want to fail" especially with their (we listen to the fans) nonsense

You have a source on "80% of the people who collect legends" being outside the US? (Nevermind that the assertion I was responding to was from someone inside the US)

Because if that were true you'd think international retailers would be a lot better about stocking them since they're such hot sellers.

You would think that, but apparently not. The largest toystores in Ireland don't even stock Marvel Legends and even then they are probably the most expensive action figures you can buy. Also it doesn't help that Hasbro won't even give us full waves, Nightcrawler and Jubilee aren't available in Ireland for example

Another Galactus would be great as I missed the previous version. HasLab is a platform in its infancy and wish to see a few project per year. Love the TNI and reviews Jay C

You forget the most important problem of Haslab. it's only available in the US. 80% of people who collect legends is outside the states. US make only a small portion of the collecting community.

Just now, memocromatico said:

So it's not really available, if it were directly available on Pulse many more would be able and willing to fund the project.

It is available, you just get ripped off because Hasbro don't care about you. Hre in Ireland, we can't get Jubilee or Nightcrawler because for some reason
