Or just wait for a 'shocking prices' sale! 

If it dips low enough, then I’d be interested

I feel like he won't stop until he can justify charging Battlepods prices for it instead of trying to make it like $69.99 and just have a cockpit and landing skids.

It seems fairly priced to me at $90 for an 11-inch long, die-cast metal fighter with the features advertised. I've paid more for less.

If he gets it all done for that price, sure, that would be great. Unfortunately, with the way manufacturing works, the more you ask of your product, the more likely you are to encounter run-ups in costs.

I’d rather they trim it down on the goofiness and make it for less than $50.

JOYTOY or Hiya Toys would probably release better looking Zentraedi figures.

I do like their weirdly named Gnerl. I did back their campaign, but in just looking over the way the Kickstarter is setup, I think anyone with some sense of analytics could tell this is born to fail. Offering a number of different figures, and various larger mecha in one shot is a lot for people to figure out. It's also a bad time to have  something like this, considering people are also buying gifts for family and their significant others and all that. I'd actually buy everything they are releasing, but when some of those have a proposed release date of September of next year, yeah, that's a bit too long. They should've just did it for the figures, and maybe even half of them, and with the amount of money they've raised so far, if we were dividing that money into the amount of products, they'd have enough to at least release 1/3 of it. They need to pull this off, and rethink how they want to do this. Maybe start with the Glaug, and a few of the figures, then the Gnerl with more figures, then then maybe the recon pod with others. Better yet, don't do a damn Kickstarter, as people like me have been burned by them. I only back highly reliable companies now, so I kinda trust this, but even as a backer, if this got funded, I'd be extremely nervous.

No doubt, but they’re not. Hopefully if something happened to allow them to do it, they’d really do them justice and not change the designs
