    All of us newly encrusted divorcees should gather on a leper island somewhere in the remote South Pacific and proceed to pleasure ourselves with the planet-eater himself ... somehow that feels like ‘Poetic Justice’ :)

    So, I should order with an address in Oregon where there is no state sales tax, then change my address to California afterwards? Hmmm....

    Still deciding on this, but deleted a bunch of pre-orders for other shit.

    You mean "Takara," lol?

    I'm amazed how some can't even stomach frequenting the 3p forum to at least get their bashing facts correct.


    I like this project but wish it was MP, more movie styled. Too many mold details for me but it's awesome they are making it. 8000 seems like a lot for a figure this big.

    I’ve been a die hard Unicron fan since age 6, so i am totally backing this after i sell a couple MP’s and put some cash aside. Is it overpriced? Probably. But that planet mode is delicious, and assuming this meets it’s goal, i will have one.

    No need to get snarky. When there's a $30-50 difference in taxes it's a valid consideration. And normally when you pay for something and you pay those taxes, you're getting the item immediately or relatively soon after.

    Plus, as a military person who has zero attachment to the state I currently live in, it's not as if I benefit from anything the taxes go toward.
    I was thinking the same thing haha. But then there's also the chance that I don't move quite yet and then the new shipping address ends up matching the billing address and not sure how bad that would look!

    Well it's been over a day and have had a chance to finally process everything. At first I was excited beyond belief because this is what I always wanted as a centerpiece to my amazing collection, then I felt massive sticker shock. Slept on it and decided this was a conversation that I should have with my wife. Showed her the pictures, website, pointed to the Armada figure on a shelf, and she asks if it's the biggest? I said yes and she quickly replied that I have to get it, so signed up. Let's go 8000!

    Signed up for 2... I'll sign up for 2 more if I can free up the money... I'm trying to unload a City Bot Pandinus and my legends scale figures to get at least 1 more.

    That just further illustrates how ridiculous his comment is:rolleyes: 

    Dear Hasbro,
    Please strip Unicron of all the bling, downsize him a little and sell him as a titan in the mainline.
    That way maybe people will finally stop bitching about the people who justly ridicule the ridiculous price you are asking for this ego-project.
    Thank you.

    But Pandinus is a gorgeous bot! And the legend class figures will be the perfect companions for Unicron!

    Always happens with crowdfunding, huge explosion at the start then things slow down significantly.

    Maybe it's because the KO companies are a non-entity to some collectors.

    So how much do you think the KOers are offering for "borrowed" Unicron CAD files?

    It cost more or less the same as a 3p combiner or a 3p city bot, I really don't understand the complaints!

    Is it because you have to pay the full price at once? If that's the reason start saving some money right now!

    It's not like this was announced years ago and we decide what we want in advance "You have one month to decide then get the money together, otherwise no Unicron for you." plus a lot of primarily Hasbro customers (myself included) are so at least partially to avoid paying prices like that for transformers.
