Classified vehicles are too big. I will pass.

Too bad I won't get NF Ripcord. I really like NF figs in general. Any backer looking to resell NF Ripcord?

Just keep your eyes open closer to when this gets shipped next year.

Just getting Ripcord shouldn't be too hard and the price shouldn't be too high (hopefully).

Dragonfly:


11,121 / 10,000 (+2,179)  111.21% of funding goal with 40d 17h to go.


No surprise we passed the funding target, and more than a third of the way to the first tier unlock.   Let's keep that momentum up and hopefully we can unlock Ripcord by Friday (definitely by the end of the weekend).

OH NO!!!  We haven't made it to the first tier unlock??!!  It's over!!!!  Everyone go home!!!!  LOL.   Nice to see it is still moving along, still a high probability of unlocking Ripcord this weekend.

I can't imagine NF Ripcord really being that big of a draw, but I am sure it will achieve most, if not all of the unlocks.

Looking good.  Not going to unlock Ripcord today, and maybe not by the end of the weekend, but soon.  Then it will be time to reveal the next tier.

Dragonfly:


12,211 / 10,000  (+243)  122.11% of funding goal with 37d 19h to go until finished.


Getting closer.  I thought for sure we would have unlocked Ripcord by this weekend, but we may have to wait until early next week at this rate.  Either way still moving along nicely.

Dragonfly:


12,380 / 10,000 (+169)  123.80% of funding goal with 36d 19h left.

Slowed down, as expected, but still in the triple digits for daily gains.   Just waiting to unlock Ripcord so we can see who's (what's) next.

Agreed, I really feel the next figure will determine if all stretch goals are achieved,  I relaly don't think a NF version of Rip Cord made it a must purchase and didn't drive any extra sales.  Especially when, clearly, we will get a regular rip cord at retail in the future.

Dragonfly:


12,496 / 10,000  (+116)  124.96% of funding goal with 35d 17h to go.

Just over 500 left to go to unlock Ripcord.  At the current pace that could be as early as Wednesday, but more likely closer to Friday.


As to the stretch goals, as I have said before I am not worried.  They'll all unlock.  Once Ripcord unlocks we'll see the next one, and unless it is an absolute stinker (bones Hasbro Star Wars team really?), it should keep moving the numbers.  Plus there is still over a month to go on the funding.

Just got a call from my local Gamestop (Bayshore mall Ottawa) that I had 6!!!!!!!!  GI Joe figures that I preordered come in.

DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6 all at once.  It must be the Shipwreck/Bazooka wave (Copperhead, Rock&Roll, Torpedo) and the Scrap Iron.

I didn't preorder the Arctic BAT, but if they have it in store I'll probably cave on that as well.   All told that will probably be around $300Cdn..........OUCH!!!!

Not to mention I will have the Dragonfly to pay for next month!!!!

Oh god.....anyone need a kidney???

Too late.

Some guy bought my kidney.

It was a bit weird though, he asked me if I knew of somewhere that sells both Chianti and Fava beans.   

Strange.......
