The problem isn't the current market either. That's a Mattel Creations crowdfunded He-Man Eternia playset for $550 and it has over 8,000 backers with two weeks left. They are counting into stretch goals at this point.

Wow $550 is a ton! What's funny is I'd be real tempted to hop in over there around $200-250. But, yeah, $550 is crazy. MotU must just have a much bigger market.

Impressive. $4.5 million so far, blew past the goal of 2.7 million, and still going. Surely the margin on this is much more than other distribution, so big profits here - millions.

That set is super cool and the campaign page is really well done too. Sigh.

So is there anything drastic in the works that they're planning (like adding tiers, marketing with influencers, etc.)? Because if not, reaching even the min backers isn't looking too bright

Nothing stated beyond making a video with "some people cooler than us." Whatever that means.

They have a mysterious 23 point plan. Maybe there's something on there?

If it were up to me, they'd drop Penguins with a Machine Gun as a micro goal for reaching 4k backers. That'd spur some fence sitters to back.

Do we know what the white hex shaped thingys with markings on them in the upper left of the new components photo are? How about the black ones in the upper right. And the two big rectangles--perhaps rule and scenario booklets?

The black on upper middle, right represent the cards, blacked out.

The White hex shaped "thingys" are the bases for the wall pillars.

And, yes, large black rectangles represent the rule book and scenario book.

How?! I'm guessing a lot of OG fans have some retirement money to spare haha.

I may be a pessimist but I think if the Haslab page looked the way it does now back when it first launched we'd be at 4k backers right now. I really think it's a massive difference
