Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

Sounds like the amount of available units hasn’t really moved that much since if first when up. Unless they keep refreshing the order count to 6000 units every time a huge slate of orders sell out

I can see this ending up like the Star Wars TVC Boba Fett Throne Room (aka Jabba's Throne Room). It was a MTO item that had left over stock on Pulse for quite some time before it finally went on sale to get cleared out.

I can see the same thing happening with the Sentinel, which may be another reason why they increased the price after the fact. If they have that much stock left over and they eventually have to put it on sale to try and move that stock it won't be much of a hit to Hasbro if they can sell it "on sale" for the original preorder price.
 
I can see them doing some overproduction, but if there really are 5,000+ left, that's over $1 million in retail sitting unsold. I am very curious what the story is - did they have 1,000's of cancelations? Did they expect someone overseas to carry a few thousand and that fell through? An actual production mistake/miscalculation? Maybe they decided they are OK waiting for a year or more to sell through if they get full price?
 
I was pretty convinced this run would sell out, but if they truly have over 5k units left to sell, they better lower that price back to what it was offered at originally. I'd likely buy another, but with the increase, I'm happy to wait it out.
