How many 4 star characters did it take to get the 100 4 * award?

It took 112 4 & 5 * characters for me to get this achievement. I sent it into support when I had 101 characters and it only showed 89. I got the standard response that said "we are aware of this issue and hope to have it fixed soon". They also went on to say that I should receive it within 1-2 characters. What they meant to say was 11-12 characters with emphasis on 12.

Now I'm stuck with all kinds of level 80 junk, I wish Sacrifice would hurry up and get here so I can get rid of some sandworms and heads.
