I seriously doubt this thing can genuinely sell 8000 units direct to consumers (no retailers) in North America. But I would bet heavily that it's going ahead no matter what and the target is purely there to help encourage sales and lock in as many orders as possible. Hasbro are in total control of the platform, they will just flip that number past 8000 on the last day if they need to.
...they could but isn't the point of the minimum number of backers to mean this venture will be profitable?

Better off wasting money in RnD and reusing it somewhere later on than having a few units sitting around rotting, even being used as prizes or something its lost money, granted within 10 or so could be worth it but if that number is over 1000 short...bad move to me
