This is also how a lot of these kickstarter type projects go - a final surge of backers on the final day.
Some versions try to offset this by offering early uptake discounts but it appears Hasbro hasn't wanted to add that extra complexity to the process at this stage.

Given how many angry and upset people that creates in tech Kickstarter, it would probably not be worth it for Hasbro to try it.Originally Posted by Seraphim Prime
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.

The Hasbro Pulse website has added a 360 degree turnaround video of Victory Saber and its components. It is at the top among the still picture slides, so you have to find it... if you can't see it or it won't play, a mirror can be seen here, along with screencaps.
The current number (which is 5,000 more than what I thought I saw on the day it closed), is 27,353... so maybe some other countries were still submitting their numbers in the couple of days after it closed.
The estimated release date is now saying Winter 2022... but since Winter in the northern hemisphere is at both ends of the calendar year, I think that would be the end part of 2022, as this would need to have already been in production if it was to come out in the first part of the year.

The extra 5000-odd orders were added Tuesday or Wednesday, and have been dropping every now and then since that point (and were also dropping when the total was only 22,000-odd at the end of the order period). I presume this is as a result of people whose payment hasn't gone through when charged; Pulse must be cancelling their orders when that happens.

Hasbro have added some images to their Victory Saber page of the mould layouts of the parts for the toy.

The packaging hasn't been revealed yet, but some of the artwork that should be on it has been posted on the Pulse website, by Guido Guidi.

It looks like the toy is at pre-production testing phase now, as Hasbro has been posting up pictures of some early test shots.
This image on Instagram shows that Victory Saber is the same size as the Leader sized God Ginrai.
While on the main Pulse blog page, a video has been added showing off the set, the various modes and accessories. Screenshots can be seen here if you have trouble accessing the video, as it looks like it could be members-only, but for now it can be directly accessed.
