It has surged. A tad under 200 to go.
Now I gotta decide if I will give Hasbro almost 300 bucks. Blah.

9,801 Backers
Will I BACK IT?
I'm going to say NO. I mean, illusions of being even a vintage ARAH o-ring completist faded years ago. So why bother? I'd never open the stuff. I hate this go fund me style of collecting anyway.

You probably have the best response Bravo. I'd easily back it if not for getting the Xbox. But the Xbox will bring me years of entertainment. This is just something I'd put on display and glace at once in a blue moon? Hmm.

Supposedly the counter is stuck, but it has made it.

I was thinking of preordering...the REBEL FLEET TROOPER SET.
At least I'd open those.

Rancor and Cookie Monster walk into a bar.... "We don't serve their kind here!"

I think it looks great, the figures are all nice bonuses.
I'm still not going to back it, too much to deal with in my life right now.
And I'm not sure if I will be somewhere permanent by the time they ship it.
I would also be breaking my "No more vehicles rule." Which I rarely do anymore.
I used to own some BBI Elite Force 1:18 jets for a while, an F-16 and an F-18.
Those things were real beauties. The Skystriker, Night Raven, Rattler, looked puny next to them.
Anyway, knowing that makes this an easy pass for me. They did a real nice job on the updates though.

I definitely think the Joe team did a nice promotional deal as opposed to Rancor which got so much negative attention.

It's approaching 12,000. Will it make it to Scarlett?

Think the Joe fans will be angry and blame it on the counter issues if it doesn't get Scarlett.
I firmly believe the Cobra hack and Rancor failing both helped this big time.

I backed it, so I'm glad it made it, and I'm happy enough with the base that a lack of the unlocks isn't the end of the world for me, though the addition of CC, and the Troopers really helped me go with actually backing it.
I felt compelled to, as this and some of the other retro stuff looks right in my wheelhouse.

Those figures will be gold on the aftermarket, so you'll be able to make your money back. Plus I figure the Jet itself will have some strong value retention

Scarlett will have Ace's crotch. That annoys me.
The best stretch goal is the last one as that crew would go well with display.

Well, if they get 1000 more backers in the next 45 minutes, RIPCORD.
I still cannot back. Too much money (for me). Too far away. I would never open the extra figures. I never assembled/opened the last GI JOE jets I had the 2003 Conquest and that F-22 whatever from new sculpt era. That long ago. That led me to not getting any of the 25th Rattlers and Conquests.
