Hey all!!!
Welcome back to the forums. I was getting a bit worried with how long they were down, but I'm glad to see them back up and running. Looking good with the new layout.
Anyway I have been keeping a daily track of the Ghost over at actionfigurenews.ca so if you want to take a look over there you can see how it has gone since starting. Otherwise I am just going to continue from today here, so let's go:
Ghost:
10,661 / 8,000 (+109) 133.26% of funding goal with 18d 18h left.
I haven't got the wedge or the space for an object like this, but I do love that it is already confirmed for production.
If you're thinking about it, get on board and help unlock the additional figures!
I backed this right after they announced it during the presentation. Can't wait!
Ghost:
10,729 / 8,000 (+68) 134.11% of funding goal with 17d 16h left.
Well we are almost there. Less than 300 to go to unlock Ezra (11,000). It will be interesting to see what happens once he is unlocked. Will we see a bump, or will it drop back down quickly to double digit daily gains?
How does this compare to other Haslabs as far as unlocking the first tier?
It seems like it's taking longer to get that first tier unlocked after hitting the minimum goal.
Been missing these updates for this one! Glad to have the forum back!

It seems like it's taking longer to get that first tier unlocked after hitting the minimum goal.
It is slower than the Dragonfly for unlocking the first tier, but others took a long time and still went on to be fully unlocked, and quite successful. It kind of depends on a number of factors. Galactus didn't unlock for a long time as well, but his funding goal was brutally high (14,000) and the first unlock was 16,000.
So I wouldn't worry too much for now. The Ghost is already unlocked and will be made, so getting more figures is only going to add to the "perceived" value for collectors. It is so close to unlocking Ezra that once he is unlocked there will be a stronger desire to get the rest of the figures. Of course if they don't all unlock, those that don't unlock will eventually show up in the regular retail line anyway.
Then we have the inevitable final days push. Since the Ghost is already funded, and is going to be made as I said, there are going to be a lot of last minute backers in the final couple days. Once we pass the 11,000 mark to unlock Ezra it is only 6,000 more to unlock everyone. That is more than doable in the last couple days of the project. And we still have over two weeks to go anyway.
We should pass 11,000 sometime this week and that will give the project at least a week of average daily gains to further close the gap to the final tier. I could see this being over 12,000 backers by the last two days, and 5,000 backers in the last two days is all but guaranteed (in my opinion).
Anyway, here is the update:
Ghost:
10,777 / 8,000 (+48) 134.71% of funding goal with 16d 16h left.
Closer still to Ezra. At the current pace he'll unlock later this week, maybe into the weekend.
I suspect he could see a bit of a boost after Ahsoka starts tomorrow. Once Ezra gets unlocked, that might start the upward climb to the final stretch of the campaign. I’m not worried yet either but Zeb could be the only one that’s really questionable right now.
Only the cardbacks should be exclusive to the campaign. They’ve been careful not to say this is the only way to get the crew but the writing on the slides in the videos only say ‘exclusive cardback’ on them rather exclusive figure.

Yeah I imagine they will all be released again at regular retail. Different cardback, and maybe different/less accessories, and possibly different looks.
I'm so pumped for this ship! One locked in and trying to drum up extra hobby cash now for a second.
I think Ezra will make it for sure, but not so sure about Kanan & Zeb, which is a bummer if this is the only way we can get a season 4 Kanan like this. I feel like Zeb doesn't look much different and really any version of him would be fine, but I don't imagine we'll get very many Kanan figures in the line (if any at all).

I think I remember them saying that this is the only way we'll get season 4 versions of these characters in the TVC line during one of their streams during SDCC? I could be mis-remembering, but I could swear I remember them saying that.
There has definitely been debate about it in Star Wars communities. I swear I heard only the cardbacks are exclusive, nowhere have I heard that it is the s3/s4 looks. Either way, I really hope we get this to 17k soon because I really want all 4 1/2 members of the crew this comes with. I hope it is not too long before we get a full Chopper and Sabine in Rebels s4 looks.
Aside from those, I really hope we get Rex, sexy Kallus, and Ahsoka from Rebels. I have never backed a Haslab before (still sad with myself for not saving for Unicron) but I could not pass up the Ghost, since Rebels is my favourite Star Wars that is on tv or movies. I am excited to see who all we get to fill this with, because the Razor Crest and Jabba's Sail Barge seem pretty filled up now, and they keep getting new figures, which is great.
Ghost:
10,845 / 8,000 (+68) 135.56% of funding goal with 15d 16h left.
Looking good to have Ezra unlocked by Friday, definitely the weekend.
Ezra made it! Hopefully this means it's looking good for Kanan too!
We will for sure get Kanan, hopefully soon! Then we will get Zeb. We have to get the whole crew!
