I did budget for it, and sold some stuff to help get there. One of the key things I did was sell NON TF stuff this time around, which helped because summer isn't great for selling TFs.
Either way, I'm really not sure it's going to get backed..I am still hopeful, but only a couple days and 3000 to go feels like a stretch. Sigh.

I agree it is not an easy item to swing in short notice. Most of higher end stuffs I love (FT, FH, GigaPower Dinos, Arcadia Macross, SoC, DX Chogokin, Sentinel, HMR, Bandai PB kits, ... and recently Hot Toys) have way longer notice before preorder start dates and/or a long time before I need to pay. Same for games. Even other crowd-funding stuffs like the latest MakeToys purple seeker have a long funding period. These I can planned for. Not this one. Heck! As expensive as MP-44 ($460-$500Cadn from AJ) I have 8+ months to prepare! I have no idea what really is the rush for HasLab.

Especially considering it will take more than a year to get released.

Re: haslab unicron
I would also like to add that the first prong I broke on his arm/leg would kill me. Literally. I understand that they should be somewhat bendy plastic but where there's a gimp, there's a way as I always say.

Huge part of my decision, honestly. Plus I would love to see Unicron with Primus and Vader Death Star and even Energon Unicron.
I budget around a lot of things and I sell stuff here and there so I have most of the money set aside already, should he make his mark.

Re: haslab unicron
It's not for me, for a lot of different reasons. Not all of them money, but I hope those who want it get it.
But after seeing what's transpired, the cynical side of me wonders if it ain't just this all over again.

A comparison for anyone waiting on to see what Zeta came up with. Definitely prefer the robot mode of Zeta as it has less greeble, no ugly backback, and less shell showing on the legs. The hasbro planet mode looks far more impressive though.
I wouldn't mind seeing how much parts forming is involved with Zeta's as their combiners have an insulting amount.

Re: haslab unicron
I am interested in seeing what the third party manufacturers will bring in terms of aftermarket upgrade kits. Maybe a lighting kit or a sound board? I could totally get behind something like that.
I am not so on board with giving a third party manufacturer money for a whole bot that's straight up intellectual property theft.
