    There is over 12 pounds of plastic difference between Fort Max and this. Max is 6.6 pounds, this is 19 pounds.
    Still, it would have been nicer if they had only tripled the price when they tripled the weight.

    Jesús. I just can't justify this price even though I want a new Unicron.

    With a 2021 release date, and payment up front required from HasLab, only an Entertainment Earth pre-order can save me now.

    I would have liked to have seen a Unicron head play set, with lights and sounds and play features galore and changeable cracked eye sockets.

    This is what Im wondering/hoping. Will TT really not make this available in some way? Hasbro Asia? The fact that Hasbro Pulse is limiting this to North America has to mean it'll be available in some sort of greater extent later, right?.....Right....? I just can't swing the cost of this within 6 weeks with the number of preorders I currently have. But after December, absolutely!

    Huh, you're right. I guess the modeler only went off the one image he got and didn't realize that there was a gap for his beard.

    Ok. I’ll support Hasbro/Takara here. They’re making something that I literally never thought would happen. I can sell a few of my lesser loved rare Switch games to fund this. Easy.

    Is there international shipping? It’s late and I only saw this while going to bed.

    I’m going to own this... no matter the cost.


    Oh god for an EXTRA $500 I would back an MP version. Please don’t let a Takara Rep read that... :(

    It would be nice if it included Cybertron and its moons.

    Anyone else think that today's reveal might just be the teaser for the project? With SDCC just a few days away, I think we will see quite a bit more to Unicron, such as an accompaniment of small figures. I mean, the Sail Barge had Yak Face, carded and with a coin. So maybe we will get a group of non-transformable "in scale" figures from the movie. That way Unicron could be the ultimate diorama, while keeping it somewhat in scale. Just a guess.

    If he gets funded, the backers will get him. He won’t be sold on Pulse.

    So if he's not the next Titan Class figure then who is?

    Hey @Tony_Bacala You should buy one and give it away as a contest like with the Bee Movie gear where front page clicks, etc. = entries. That'd drive numbers up real fast. :lol

    Hahaha! Dude, you know I'd never put a $600 figure on my desk. I trust my coworkers but that's just way too much temptation... for the like four people in the whole building who would know and appreciate what it even was.

    ... and there's still plenty of space on my desk. :cool:  Just have to cut down from three to two monitors. Technically I'm not supposed to have the third one anyway but IT hasn't noticed yet :p 

    Your wish eyes were bigger than your real stomach? :D 

    I think it was less of a social ineptitude/virgin comment and more the idea that people with kids have more real world expenses so they can't afford to spend this much on toys for themselves. One of my coworkers refers to my wife and I as DINKs: Dual Income No Kids and it does make a huge difference - we're not affluent by any means but we're able to live very comfortably on our combined income. Throw a couple of kids in there and we wouldn't be poor but I certainly wouldn't be collecting on anywhere near the level I am now and my wife wouldn't be able to afford to do all the travelling that she loves so much.

    What if, and hear me out, but what if this is like this because this is the cost to make each one per unit and they can't get less than 8,000 for it?

    How about a clear turqouise effect part that can attach to the mouth with a clear mini Megatron in the middle of being upgraded. And a mini Galvatron's ship.
