Also, numbers from international retailers are likely not in that total yet.
I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
Everyone seems to be relying on that at this stage, but I wonder how accurate that statement is.
I am sure that there could been some streamlining since the Unicron project to have retail orders be more real time. But on the other hand, I can also imagine that retailers like EB Games only want to put in one order, rather than multiple single orders.
For Unicron, EB Games had to give their numbers weekly... as this was a new concept and Hasbro was very keen to keep track of what was going on with the pre-orders.
It wasn't until the very end that our numbers were being added to the Hasbro Pulse website numbers, and then the foreign numbers (from here and other countries doing pre-orders) were being added several times in the last few weeks.
Speaking of Unicron, I recall you, Griffin, mentioning that Australia ordered a disproportionate amount of Unicrons (something like 700, was it? I can't locate your post via the search function). What do people reckon our share of Victory Saber might come to? Are we as JG1 mad as we were Unicron mad?
I think we had a higher than expected number here because our price was a lot less than it should have been. The US price was about us$570, which would usually mean about au$1100-1200... but since we got it here for about au$850, it was cheaper than importing it, something that isn't normally possible, so it was too tempting for those interested (and with about 18 months to save up or pay it off, compared to America and Japan that had to pre-pay the entire amount, we had a lot of people here able to "afford it" that couldn't afford it in America in their much shorter time frame).
Tier 2 has been announced….
A clear flight stand.
