LAAT/i Gunship Haslab

At least some momentum, if it is within 3,000 the last day, maybe?

If there ends up only 8,000 or so of these out there - aftermarket might go crazy in a few years...

Yeah if this just clears the goal line I could see it rivaling the Khetanna for secondary market prices. Still not moving too much though and a lot of Haslabs have final day bumps that mirror (to a degree) the first day. Since the first day was less than 2,000 backers I would expect this to be at least that close to have a chance.

But who knows, maybe I am misreading the trend right now and it will fund by the end.
 
Really hard to say as this doesn’t have the positive momentum of hitting funding and starting on stretch goals like the Snow Cat did on those last few days.
 
LAAT/i Gunship


4,547 / 8,000 (+109) 56.84% of funding goal with 3d 18h left.


Going into the final days and it gained less backers than yesterday when it should be, at least, doubling the numbers of backers gained from the day before.

There was a mysterious bump of about 1,000 backers towards the end it the Snow Cat and then an equally mysterious drop of about the same 1,000 backers when the campaign ended. Seeing something like that again feels like Hasbro cooking the books a bit to drive up artificial demand. It worked for the Snow Cat as it unlocked all tiers, even with that 1,000 dropping off at the end but I’m not sure the Gunship would survive a drop of that much at the end. Curious if a ‘funded’ campaign could ever get walked back to ‘unfunded.’ It would set a hugely negative precedent.
 
That's very interesting, and I could see it being the case. No company wants to waste R&D dollars on a project that never comes to fruition.

Well if that's how we have to get this thing, I guess Im fine with it!
 
I do wonder if a company could state in the T&C that they have the right to "back" units and make them available for sale at a later time - as long as they were up front that it wasn't additional beyond what was pledged - in order to hit minimum production or a tier. Because you would think if this got to within 500 units of backing they could make it anyway - why give up $3.375 million just because you wanted $225,000 more.

Emily from marketing explained what happened with that jump in backers for the Snow C.A.T.

Apparently she had to manually enter in the international backers every Monday. She hadn't been able to do so close to the end of funding and that is why there was such a big jump near the end when she was finally able to add them. Then once funding ended the system booted all those backers she added near the end and that is why she had to go back in and add them again after funding ended. Which is why the total after funding ended dropped and then went back up by about 1000 backers.

Most likely. A nice bump, let's see if that does enough to get people to back. I am still on the fence about it funding, but I can see it just squeaking by now. Though the tiers look very unlikely if it does fund.

Ah OK. Weird the marketing team is responsible for that. Funny the website doesn’t play nice with staff either :ROFLMAO:

Considering how many people they have laid off in the past two years I'm surprised there is anyone left to run anything. I wouldn't be surprised if Emily is now Marketing, IT, Design, Shipping, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, etc. etc. etc.
