Well it's over. Final tally is 1386/10k putting it at 13.86% funded. That officially makes it the second lowest backed quantity Haslab after Reva's Lightsaber with 1413, and the lowest percent backed with Cookie Monster beating it at 20.8%.
And this means Tron bombed twice this year. 😒

Entering the final stretch for the Tron Haslab & it's pretty dire. It would need 754 more backers to not be the lowest funding percentage one so far, & I'd be shocked if that happens. I have to wonder if doing a smaller cost & backer total with some parts made into stretch goals might have helped

Final week for the Tron Haslab. I forgot to check totals last week but that said it only 66 new backers since then, so not a big jump. Kinda wondering if any retailer preorder numbers will get dumped in, as you'd think they'd want people to see a big spike. It's gonna take a miracle at this point.

Hit Sprit Holloween on their last day and snagged the Transformers endcap sign they had since it was only $2.50. Now I gotta figure out what I wanna do with it

Checking back in on the Tron Haslab and it looks like it picked up 27 backers. Really feels like they're gonna need to dump retailer orders in to help the numbers jump up. But with this doing so poorly, I wonder how big those numbers would even be. A little under 9k in 20 days is a tall order.

Wonder what scheme blew up in Starscream's face to make him hide put here?

Been a little over a week, time for another look in on how the Tron Haslab goes. There is a little good news at least, it broke 10% funding. If it manages 1005 more and hits 2081, it will pass Cookie Monster and not be the lowest failed percent funded.

Add a dot, and you kinda sorta have a square Dalek wearing a necktie. Admittedly, it's a stretch since we all know Swindles in general prefer bolo ties.

Lets take another look at the Tron Haslab. Currently it's at 989 backers, up 136 since the 14th. That puts it at 9.89% funded. It's really not looking good. Makes me wonder if we might see them do something radical before it ends as it's pretty clear this would take a miracle to fund.

With the Tron Haslab not looking so hot, I was curious how it stacked up so far to the failed projects. Turns out it's passed Cookie Monster, so it's not going to be the lowest backed total at least. Still it's needs 2081 backers not be the lowest percent backed one, and it's got a long ways to go.

Why do I have weird luck finding Japanese toys at Goodwill? Missing parts but electronics work. Was only $7

It did on mine pretty well when I hand moddled it for the TFWiki photo, and I have normal adult sized hands. So it's not too too small to be honest.

Got a small collection of digs off a friend today. Some Micromaster, G1 Highbrow, 6 Rock Lords, GoBots Staks, and two Bespin Luke's. Most are in fantastic condition. Gonna keep some, mostly the Micromasters, and the rest will go up on the eBay store.

Upper right is one of the issues of the 1987 Demon mini series. I think issue 3 judging by the text color over the name. 3 was the only one to use red text.

Snagged a really big bag of World's Smallest figures the other day, all Transformers, TMNT, He-Man, and GI Joe. Really neat stuff and in scale for some cool toy pics. They also came with actual mini comics too, so fun little bonus.

1/ Finished Micronauts a few days ago. No spoilers on it, it's great. Really deserved a lot better then it was treated. Not going into spoilers but Hasbro really made a mistake vaulting it. It has strong world building, fun characters, good action, and some very funny jokes peppered throughout

The long shelved Micronauts series got leaked, 2seasons of 52 episodes, 22 minutes a pop and it's good! It's an action cartoon, a genera sorely missing now a days. I'm up to episode 4 so far & while it's not groundbreaking, I'm enjoying it. It REALLY didn't deserve to get treated the way it did.

Of all the products Hasbro makes, why were they specifically called out as "The Play-Doh maker"? Like calling them a toymaker covers it. I'm not making light of this as I've been on the receiving end of corporate layoffs, and they suck, but the call out feels weird.
