This is an important weekend for this project, because after this weekend we are entering that “mid-campaign” period where lots of crowdfunds slow down until the final weekend. We want to keep the momentum going on this and get started on those stretch goals! We just need a strong push get us over the finish line and then the momentum will really start to build! We know there are lots of people waiting to see if Beyithirr funds before they commit, but at 70% funded, THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN! We know we will get this funded - so the only question is how quickly can we get there and which stretch goals will we have time to unlock! Remember, stretch goals get added to the items AT NO ADDITIONAL COST, so once we unlock those items, the value increases!

2030?!! I was thinking maybe 2028. Did they say they would wait that long?

I know they will all fund but that's kind of an awkward worst case scenario: get the wings, the head, the fire breath, the burning knight and the ashen skeleton but no dragon...
I hope they figure out a way to make the red dragon more affordable next time. Even if it means raising the minimum level. I think more folks would opt for a red one based on color alone.

I had talked myself into two dragons at $550. But I was counting on getting the wings as a stretch goal, not a $150 add-on. Plus $65 apiece for shipping turned me off.
Now, I'm pretty sure I'm out.
I am just ordering the Dragon. I really wanted the open wings, but I wanted $49.99 open wings. Since Haslab comes up in comparison often, the very articulated and large Giant Man was $199.
Despite my complaint, I am very excited to get this guy.

It'll definitely fund, but not without sourness on a lot of collector's part. I think if they had done the wings and dragon head as stretch goals (even upping the goal markers appropriately) sales would have gone through the roof, but now that we're pushing around a grand for a complete set of offerings it's left a bitter taste in the mouths of a lot of people, and I can't say I blame them.

This is an awsome stretch goal. Id love to see a small led light placed in it.
Extremely disappointed in this. I was in at $550. But pushing $1,000 to get the dragon with all the pieces for it that should be included with it, the pieces that they explicitly say they are not going to make available and sell later? Extortionate. Four Horsemen are going to lose goodwill on this. They've lost mine.
I still haven't received my $600 Necronominus purchase from 2022. I have eight unfulfilled waves from them dating back to 2022. EIGHT multi-hundred dollar orders that I am waiting on, and they want me to drop another $1k on this? With the way things are going, who even knows if they'll actually be able to fulfill this thing? Tariffs, global uncertainty, all kinds of stuff popping up making this sort of thing difficult for companies that are actually good at logistics and shipping and fulfillment.
$300 extra for the fire-breathing head and wings - it's just left a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing.
