Thank God, but I all ready have 1 Unicron from the Transformers Universe Classics 2.0 line, is it still worth it though?

I have that same one. I'm buying this one too. Waaaaay better color scheme and head mold.

I thought this was a COSTCO exclusive? Regardless, this is great news for Canadian TF fans.

WTF? I thought these were confirmed to be a Costco exclusive?

Yeah, everyone thought that. Maybe the TFcon rep got it mixed up or something.

Good news for anyone who doesn't have a Costco membership. Kind of surprised TRU took the risk though since the Universe one warmed shelves for so long and eventually dropped to like $30 in my area.

Coldiron
Hooray, more gestalt customs in the future!
General Tekno
TRU?!?!?

Well then.

I'm gonna have to wait for a sale and grab one. Though I dunno what to do re: the 2010 one I already have - need to figure out how to work it in my shelf canon, after all.

Maybe I'll buy a stand and keep him in planet mode or something.
charsdc2
got him at 59.99 from amazon last month.

Arg, looks like another figure NZ won't be seeing released locally

Cool, I'm glad you boys up north can get a chance to grab this at retail. Just a reminder too, the stand is in stock at BBTS.

Good looking out on the link bro! I was wondering when that thing would show up! I can take the Metal paper towel holder out of unicrons a** now hahaha!!

Now that's a chaos bringer haha!
Probono
Got mine from Amazon awhile back, but still great news regardless!

What a surprise. The thing Hasbro said was going to happen that everyone was like "What if it doesn't happen?" happened. Just like everything else.

Dickheadedness aside, it's great to see our pals up north get a shot at this. This Unicron is mighty nice, I'm super glad I bought it.
LUGNUT1995
Wonder if it'll appear in the U.K, I have the Armada figure, but I really want this.
Burnout
heres to hopin' maybe these will hit american retail as theres no way in frack i can afford to pay shipping on this mutha from canada.

WTF are you talking about? We were told at TFcon that this Unicron was coming to a brick and mortar retailer. But the Hasbro guy got the wrong one appearantly.

I just came back from getting this. I thought it was supposed to be a Costco exclusive here in Canada. Oh well, I won't look this gift horse in the mouth.


Anyway. I bought it in Toronto at the TRU on Vic Park and Lawrence and after taxes it was just under $91.00. They had two more on the shelf and a bunch more on the overhead which no one can reach lol.


Happy hunting to all.

Damn it, I missed this on Amazon US. I need/want it - hope they have a plan of making available this holiday season

Unicron looks cool. I already have the Energon Black version of Unicron but i like this deco scheme and accuracy. If i see this bellow $50. I'd buy it then.
DPrime
Hmm, might have to keep an eye out for this...

Ughh..I so feel for my Canadian brothers. Dollar is at par and they have to pay a freaking premium. Re-tar-ded.

Most of the stuff like Unicron is imported from the US regardless if Hasbro have a Canadian office. For that import cost and tax is added. Also coming from TRU, there's the so called TRU tax/price increase that most people are well aware of.

I hope I can get him it suck is already sold out @ amazon
doctajones428
No effing way!!! This made my day beyond anything. The nearest TRU is 7 hours away (Edmonton) and I'm actually going there next week. I'm so pumped, I'm hunting this guy down
taterx
Good luck Canadian fandom. I hope all of you who want this get it. I bought mine off of Amazon after it had sold out like 3 times and it is sweet! I left mine boxed because it displays so well and my Armada one is already loose. I hate it that it's almost twice as much for you guys though, that seems a bit shit to me.
Transbot90210
Don't feel too bad. He is just the price of any ol' supreme class figure. Ya it sucks but hey $90 for a Supreme Class G1, ready for my Classics display, Unicron or $100+ on voyager 3rd party?

I think if you really want a Unicron (awesome paint aps by the way) $90 is not that big a price to pay for it.
Lazerwave
I saw it at my ToysRUs

Yeah, after paying for so many 3rd party items, paying this much for Unicron doesn't feel bad at all, haha
FuRiOus_StyLZe
maaaaaaaaan they're raping you guys up north...$80 canadian. *ouch* Glad i got it from amazon.
HulksmashU
I hope the US gets it at retail, He's been getting scalped ON Amazon and i am NOT paying over 80$ since i still have the armada one. And defently not 100-150, thats Takara pricing.
bossman328
well...he's at least $95 US on amazon now
mjcrow
If it were to show up in the US I would get it, but I've got the 2010 Takara version and it looks better IMO.
